"Great! John, the owner was super helpful and nice on the phone. Eased all our concerns. The crew, Phil and Tim, showed up right on time and were able to locate the service caps in the lawn in 10 minutes. They showed me clearly how full the tanks were and clearly explained the problem and the solution. The prices quoted were very fair and there were no surprises. It took around 90 minutes. The job was all done outdoors and when they left you would never know it was done. Very neat and professional. The odors, etc we had were gone and we noticed the drains all flowing more freely. Exactly as they said. So glad we had this done before it became a serious and ugly problem inside the house. We highly recommend Priority Cesspool Sewer and Drain. Thank you!"

"I thought I only needed a washing machine drain pipe cleared. It turned out to be more extensive than that. They stayed and cleaned out the pipe all the way through my basement. Everything running well now. Reasonable price and they cleaned up completely before they left."

"Outstanding service and communication from start to finish. Leo Plumbing solution was excellent from the moment I scheduled the appointment Leo confirming timing, providing updates on arrival, and following through exactly as promised. He listened carefully to my concerns and repaired both my main shutoff valve and hose bib efficiently and professionally. The pricing was fair and transparent, especially compared to another plumbing quote I received that was unreasonably high. I felt confident in the work being done and appreciated the honesty. I was referred to Leo Plumbing solutions by a family friend who highly recommended them, and I?m very glad I took that advice. Great team, great communication, fair pricing, and excellent results. They resolved my leak and water loss issue completely. Highly recommend! Services Plumbing leak detection, Plumbing pipe repair, Faucet repair, Faucet installation, Plumbing leak repair, Service not"

"Guy and his team, including foreman Al Hayes, were extremely good, the best contractor we have ever worked with. They came immediately, did an excellent job in a very complex cleaning job of a sewer backup in a basement filled with stuff. They did so efficiently, with complete consideration for us and for helping us sort what to keep and not. They removed truckloads of stuff. They left us with a remarkably clean basement with no residue from the back-up and fully sanitized. Their whole crew was courteous, pleasant, respectful and very careful of all our things. Guy was always part of the process and always immediately responsive to calls and questions. He went above and beyond, taking time to advise us on a variety of house issues, which was very helpful. They later came back and cleaned the attic, which had been filled with black dust from a roof installation, again as well as before. Al also repaired some tile work for us in his spare time at a very reasonable price. I believe the pricing for all of this was quite reasonable for the very fine work performed. I cannot recommend them more highly."

"People listen to me. If you want great service at affordable prices call this company. Carl who owns this business is absolutely phenomenal. Carl cares about his customers. There are plumbing services that are just looking to make as much money off the customer as possible. Often not providing the right type of service. NOT this business!! Carl is more concerned about the customer being satisfied while providing accurate and great service. Carl came while it was pouring down raining. He had to work inside and at times go outside in the rain. He unclogged multiple drains while also clearing the pipes leading to the sewer. Carl even installed my washer and dryer. He also cleaned all my gutters. Absolutely Phenomenal!!! And all this at an affordable price. People do yourself a favor and call Affordable Sewer if you ever need plumbing service. I guarantee you will not be disappointed."

Sewer Cleaning questions, answered by experts

It can take anywhere from one month to a couple of years for tree roots to grow back in sewer lines. Tree roots can cause extreme havoc on your sewer lines, potentially cracking them and causing untreated wastewater to make its way into the groundwater. Have a landscaping pro remove trees and roots before installing your system, or call a pro to do it retroactively as soon as you can.

It’ll take 20 to 30 minutes to unclog a sewer line using a drain snake or drain cleaner. If you hire a professional, you should expect them to be on-site for three hours or less. In addition to clearing the clog, they’ll do other routine inspections, which adds to the overall time (and cost) required.

In most states, companies that perform sewer cleaning services don’t need specific licensing, but you should always ensure you hire a licensed and certified plumber to get the work done. You can use our state licensing tool to check whether the potential sewer cleaning company holds a plumber’s certification and license. Hiring a certified sewer cleaning services guarantees that the work will be done safely, there won’t be additional damage done to your home, and the problem will be fixed.

If you want to avoid using a snake to unclog a drain, or if you don’t have one, try vinegar and baking soda. Pour 1 cup of baking soda down the drain, followed by 1 cup of white vinegar. Wait for 15 minutes, and then run hot water (but not boiling water) down the drain to see if the clog is clear. Repeat multiple times as needed.

Snakes can occasionally enter homes through shower drains, although it’s quite rare. This can happen when they follow sewer pipes or accidentally find their way into plumbing systems. To minimize the risk, consider installing drain covers or stoppers on your shower drains. Always keep drains closed when they’re not in use, especially in areas where snakes are known to be active.
