"Plumb Tite called me right away and scheduled someone to come out to the house the next day to check on a chronically backed-up main house drain in the basement. The technician offered to run a camera through (that is what I wanted to be done) to check the pipes. A large root was found. He set me up for a hydro-jet cleaning for the next afternoon. They showed up on time, did the cleaning, ran a camera to show me it was clear. They also ran the camera from the outside clean-out to the street. Comes with an 18-month guarantee. The cost - nearly $2000 - was only worth it because the job got done quickly."

"Our toilet was draining very slowly. Dale tried the usual techniques but the problem remained but instead of giving up and referring us to a sewer drain outfit he had a hunch that there was some kind of object stuck in the toilet itself but that his eel couldn't extract. He tried a rather innovative trick and out came the object which was a toilet paper holder spindle! And then he charged us a very modest amount for his efforts. Dale rules!"

Sewer Cleaning questions, answered by experts

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.

Professionals use augers, hydrojetting equipment, and cameras for precise clearing and inspection.

In most cases, drain cleaners will not clear a clogged sewer line, and they’re likely to damage your plumbing. Sewer lines are several inches wide, meaning any material that clogs it will need to be large. Drain cleaner can work on small clogs, but it usually won’t clear a larger one in a sewer main. Drain cleaners can also easily damage and corrode your plumbing with prolonged contact, and a clog will keep the cleaner in contact with the pipes for an extended period. Hire a professional sewer cleaner instead for a safe fix.

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

Knowing the signs can alert you to a clogged drain line. Clogs cause slow drainage or cause no drainage (if there’s a complete blockage). You may also notice foul odors, gurgling noises, water backing up in other appliances on the same line, or a poorly flushing toilet. If you experience any of these issues and think your line might be clogged, call a plumber.
