"*PUBLIC BEWARE* If you have A-Affordable do work at your home you need to tell them if you do not want to have your property damaged. At least this is what I was told after the fact by the owners & their son that worked on my job. As far as I am aware the work that I hired them to perform was done well. The problem is that their heavy equipment mangled my asphalt driveway to the point where I had to hire an asphalt contractor to make repairs. My driveway was cracked & patched before they came but it was for the most part level, smooth and not a tripping hazard. Since completing their work the asphalt is ripped up, a severe tripping hazard and can no longer be plowed. I asked A Affordable to split the cost of the repair with me. Despite admitting the asphalt was damaged by them they were unwilling to do anything for me. I was repeatedly told if I had just told them I did not want my driveway damaged this would not have happened."

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.
There are a few signs of a clog in your main sewer line that you should keep in mind.
Common signs of a sewer line clog:
Multiple fixtures in your home drain slowly
Drains in your home gurgle during or after draining
Water backs up into your sewer line cleanout
You notice foul odors in your home
The best way to confirm that your main sewer line is clogged is to hire a professional plumber to assess the situation and use a camera to inspect the inside.
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.
You should not attempt to snake your sewer yourself. Accessing and snaking your sewer requires heavy-duty equipment, and while renting is possible, misusing it can damage your sewer main and leave you with very expensive repair costs, not to mention potential environmental issues and severe water damage. Accessing your sewer also exposes you to hazardous sewer gasses, and failing to seal the sewer properly after work can be very dangerous. It’s always best to hire a professional sewer cleaner near you to handle this type of work.
