Q: How likely is it to find a rat in your toilet?

• <div><p>Thankfully, it&rsquo;s pretty rare to find a rat in your toilet. It&rsquo;s more likely in larger cities with big sewer systems that can be feeding grounds for rats, but even then, you still shouldn&rsquo;t fret. </p><p>&ldquo;I wouldn&rsquo;t worry too much about rats coming up through the sewers,&rdquo; Bradshaw says. &ldquo;I&rsquo;d say only one out of a thousand rodent customers we get actually have this problem. And of the 20 or some customers that have had this happen, they&rsquo;ve all only had just one rat come up this way.&rdquo;</p></div>

Q: How do I clean my sewer line from my house to the street?

• <div><p>First, find the cleanout pipe in your yard. Unscrew the cap&mdash;you may need a wrench to do so. Then, get a drain snake. You can use a non-motorized one, but a motorized snake will make the job a little easier. Feed the snake through the pipe until it reaches the clog. Spin the snake continuously, but don&rsquo;t try to feed it through the pipe anymore. Keep spinning until you feel it break the clog apart. </p></div>

Q: How do I get rid of a sewer smell in my crawl space?

• <div><p>To get rid of a sewer smell in your crawl space, you&rsquo;ll have to find the source of the problem. If it has to do with your sewer lines, then repairing the line will help. You may need to make other repairs, like fixing your sump pump or encapsulating your crawl space to reduce moisture. After you make the repair, depending on the issue, you may still need to clean out your crawl space to get rid of the stink. </p></div>

Q: Are sewer cameras worth it?

• <div><p>Yes. Sewer cameras are invaluable tools that can help pros safely diagnose problems with your septic system. Without a camera to look into your system, septic issue diagnoses would be a combination of guessing and past experience. However, a camera can help confirm ideas that your pro may already have about what&rsquo;s wrong.</p></div>

Q: Does root killer damage pipes?

• <div><p>If used correctly and sparingly, root killer shouldn&rsquo;t damage your pipes. Make sure to follow the instructions on the back of the bottle or the company&rsquo;s website to avoid any unintended damages. However, when it comes to copper sulfate, it&rsquo;s better to avoid it. This type of root killer can damage your plumbing and the surrounding environment.</p></div>
