"My husband and I were extremely pleased with our entire experience with Terry Walter of J. Ellrott.  He quickly investigated the sewer backup problem, determined the cause and spent time patiently answering our questions to determine the most cost-effective solution.  He then scheduled and completed our job in a timely manner.   The scope of work was clearly defined and the cost was good and fair.  We were also very impressed how they paid attention to detail.  They spent time properly planning their work, planned their piping routes to avoid all conflicts and ensured proper access to other existing equipment (e.g. sump pump, etc). They kept all work areas protected and clean.  They even sequenced their work, even stayed late, to ensure sewer service so we could sleep in our house each night.

Excellent service, good price, quality work, attention to detail,   CLEAN, good layout, limited service downtime, professional and courteous: all the things you look for in a contractor, but rarely find.  I cant say enough and would hire and/or recommend them for similar work in a heartbeat.

Sewer Cleaning questions, answered by experts

A sewage smell in your crawl space is usually from a damaged or clogged pipe leaking sewer gasses or actual sewage underneath your home, but there are some other common causes. Moisture, from poor or damaged encapsulation or a malfunctioning sump pump, can harbor mold and bacteria, causing a musty smell. Pests can also get stuck in your crawl space and die, which causes a sewage-like odor.

Check connections, clean fixtures, and apply finishing or protective coatings to preserve months' worth of shine and functionality.

One way to save money on sewer lines is to install a sewer cleanout since it makes sewer line maintenance easier. Keeping up with maintenance is key to reducing the cost of repairs, so be sure to schedule annual plumbing inspections, install drain guards to stop objects from accidentally falling down drains, and only flush human waste and toilet paper to protect your pipes.

The type of clog in your sewer main determines the required cleaning method. Different types or methods of sewer main cleaning require various tools like chemicals, mechanical removal, or a combination of both. Some of the most common types of sewer main line cleaning include:

  • Minor debris removal: $100–$600

  • Tree root removal: $100–$1,000

  • Trenchless pipe repair: $60–$250 per linear foot

  • General line repairs: $1,000–$4,000

  • Full pipe replacement: $3,000–$25,000

If you’re wondering whether rats can come up the toilet, the unfortunate answer is yes, it’s possible, though it’s extremely rare. These rodents are excellent swimmers and can travel through sewer pipes in search of food, and they may follow plumbing lines leading to your home if they’re drawn by the scent of scraps and waste. The toilet’s U-bend holds a small pocket of air, which can help a rat catch its breath before making its final push into your bathroom. While more common in cities with larger rat populations, this can happen anywhere with connected sewer systems; sealing entry points and keeping drains clean can help reduce the risk.
