Is a sewer smell outside dangerous?

• <div><p>Sewer gas in any location can cause eye and respiratory irritation if you’re exposed at low levels, or more severe symptoms if you’re exposed at high levels—but fortunately, the fresh air outside means it’s less likely to affect your physical health. However, sewer smells outside can still indicate significant plumbing problems that will need to be dealt with, such as a potentially damaged sewer line or roof vent pipe.</p></div>

Q: How much does it cost to clean a sewer line?

• <div><p>The cost to clean a sewer line is about <b>$370</b>, ranging from about <b>$190 to $550</b> on average. The specific cleaning method and the problem's severity will impact the project's overall cost. Some of the most common sewer line cleaning methods include:</p><ul><li><p>Snaking or rodding: $100&ndash;$250</p></li><li><p>Hydrojetting: $350&ndash;$600</p></li><li><p>Chemical treatments: $600&ndash;$1,000</p></li><li><p>Repair or replacement: $1,000&ndash;$7,500</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: What are common causes of commercial drain blockages?

• <div><p>Food grease, soap buildup, paper products, and tree roots often cause serious clogs.</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: How do you remove a drain without crosshairs?

• <div><p>If your drain doesn&rsquo;t have metal crosshairs or crossbars, you should use a tub drain extractor. These tools create a grip on the drain so you can turn it using a 1/2-inch ratchet drive, drain key, or wrench. Your drain may not have crosshairs if it's old and broken.</p></div>

"Hired them for a basic residential addition foundation job and they completely screwed up every step of the process. They don’t know how to read plans or pour straight out flat foundations. They don’t pay their subs which is coming back on us now. They won't respond to any communications. A lien has now been filed on the project because of their lack of payment. Shocked at their ineptitude. Very friendly people, but they should not be construction business owners."
