"Within 30 minutes from the time I called HomeAdvisor I was contacted by "Chuck, who obtained some info from me and said "Greg" would be there within an hour's time. After I agreed, Greg arrived. Showed the challenge and he said $250 would be the price. I agreed to it, he went after parts, returned very shortly thereafter and was done within a hour's time. Very professional, very respectful and fast. I had another plumber out earlier in the day who gave me an estimate of $438 after a customer appreciation discount of $48! I will definitely call C.S. Seweer Drain & Plumbing for my next plumbing challenge."

"I had a slow kitchen drain. Everything went great from the moment I called. Very friendly customer service! Seemed to genuinely care about resolving my issue. Sent a service tech out to snake the drain and it was later discovered that the issue was in the main line. Another technician was sent to run a camera through my lines free of charge! After discovering the blockage, it was recommend that we run a "Jetter" through the line to remove roots and other debris. After a price was presented, I agreed to move forward with the jetting. A third visit was necessary where two technicians were present and cleared the line with the Jetter. The charges from each of the previous technician visits were removed from the final price and the issue was resolved. My kitchen drain works fantastic now! All of the technicians were honest and up front about prices and made recommendations before they performed any work. I would definitely recommend them and will rehire for all future plumbing needs!"

"He explained everything clearly to me. They don't clean up the mess. A simple Grease clogged drain in my basement....turned into a $350.00 bill. Less than an hour to snake a grease buildup of 6-8 feet to the main sewer. I would not recommend this company.,....for the work and dollar value. They charge a standard rate...even if it takes 5 or 15 minutes to fix....money in there pockets. For low income homes...don't go there! I think roto rooter would be alot cheaper or something else!"

French Drains FAQs, answered by experts

This depends on the location of the blockage. If the blockage is in your home’s system, anywhere in the system, it is your responsibility as a homeowner. Blockages seldom happen because of items or buildup coming from the city, which means it originates in the home. It becomes the city’s responsibility at the exact point your home’s line distributes waste into the city’s system. The exception is if the problem in your home damages the city lines.  

Snaking a drain can take as little as a few minutes for small, simple clogs, up to two hours or more for tough clogs located further down the drain line. For tougher clogs, a professional drain cleaner can likely get the job done much more quickly because they have the necessary tools and expertise. However, your drain cleaning pro might not be able to give you a firm time estimate until inspecting the clog and its surrounding plumbing.

If your dishwasher isn’t draining, some common causes include a clogged drain filter, drain hose, or air gap. Also, if you have a garbage disposal, a clog in the disposal can back up your dishwasher since they share plumbing, as can a clog in your kitchen sink’s plumbing. A handy DIYer may be able to figure out how to unclog a dishwasher, but you may need to call in a plumber if you can’t locate and clear the clog yourself.

Although linear drains allow water to flow quickly and efficiently, they tend to clog more easily than traditional drains. Linear drains are flush with the shower floor, allowing soap scum and hair to potentially build up. They’re also longer than other drains, allowing for more space to let debris fall into the drainpipe. 

You should hire a sewer service professional to unclog a main sewer line with tree roots. Tree roots can grow into the main sewer line, and this problem requires a specialized hydro jet, or rooter, that is powerful enough to clear the roots. The tree can also damage the main sewer line, and a professional will need to make repairs or replace the damaged sections. Sewer line replacement costs about $60 to $250 per linear foot.
