"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."

"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."

"From the time I submitted the request on HomeAdvisor, they came out within two hours. Jeremy, the technician was very professional, identifying the problem, and recommending the solution. He was able to correct the problem within an hour timeframe and was able to show me on his scope the inside of the sewer line. He did a great job of explaining the problem in terms I could understand, and cleaned up thoroughly prior to leaving. I would definitely use his service again should I need it!"

Sewer Cleaning FAQs, answered by experts

No, you typically cannot use metal detectors to find your sewer line. Most sewer lines are made of non-metallic materials such as PVC, clay, or cast iron, which are not detectable by standard metal detectors. Metal detectors are designed to locate metallic objects, so they won't be effective for identifying the path of a non-metallic sewer line. To locate your sewer line accurately, it's best to use other methods.

The average cost to snake your main sewer line is around $250 for a simple snake. Most sewer line specialists charge between $45 and $200 per hour for main sewer line snaking, so the time involved plays a major role. The price you’ll pay will depend on the severity of the clog, the item causing the backup, how long it takes to remove the item, and more. A more severe issue that requires unclogging a main sewer line will cost $3,100 on average.

A sewer cleanout typically looks like a white or gray PVC pipe with a removable cap. It's often located either in your yard or basement, depending on your home's plumbing configuration. The cleanout pipe is designed to provide easy access to your sewer system for maintenance and inspections. It may be flush with the ground or slightly elevated, making it distinguishable from other pipes. When you remove the cap, you can access the sewer line directly or determine its direction, which can be helpful when you need to locate your sewer line from your house to the street.

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.

Bleach isn’t likely to help unclog a sewer line. Bleach isn’t useful in this situation because it won’t dissolve the grime and debris in the clog. Instead, you want to use ingredients that will have a chemical reaction to clear out the buildup, like vinegar or salt and baking soda.
