"At the start of the job Rob & Seth showed up on time and got the job done very efficiently. Sewer hook up passed inspection Alex & PJ came to backfill & clean up did an excellent job. I had agreed to get rock to backfill my truck was in the shop & the trailer with gravel was at my house. Bruce allowed me to use his truck to go to get it. I think Axiom went above & beyond on this job. I would highly recommend this company for any of your excavation needs."

He is also very informative, explaining his procedures during the unblocking of a main sewer line, even showing me various tools and equipment that he uses for other type jobs. Besides that, Travis is a really nice guy! I would have no hesitation in highly recommending Travis."

"Had an emergency and severe drain clog, turned out to be quite a puzzle, but Dan was persistent in trying to solve the problem and ultimately did. He was friendly and professional and left things clean even though he had to pull out a range of equipment to fix the issue. We were nervous about hiring an outfit in an emergency, but this one turned out well and we can recommend them to others."

Sewer Cleaning FAQs, answered by experts

Main sewer lines can clog for several reasons. For example, if you regularly dump oil or grease down your drain, it could eventually block your line. Sometimes, tree roots can penetrate and grow inside old sewer pipes, creating a major blockage. Flushing bulky items (like paper towels, diapers, or baby wipes) can also clog your plumbing system.

There is conflicting advice on whether to leave a baking soda and vinegar mixture in a drain overnight. Some sources suggest it can be effective for tough clogs, recommending that you flush the drain with warm water in the morning as part of a monthly cleaning routine. However, other experts advise against leaving the mixture in for extended periods, as its caustic nature could corrode drainpipes if used too often or left in for too long.

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.

A two-way cleanout can help if there’s already a clog, but the best strategy to prevent one is by not rinsing grease, oil, or fat down your drains, not flushing or rinsing coffee grounds or egg shells down your drains, flushing only human waste and toilet paper (so no diapers, period products, bathroom wipes, or paper towels), and using drain guards on all of your drains.

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.
