"They completed the work for me within a few days of the initial phone call. The plumber was very knowledgeable and professional. As well, the quote for the work was very reasonable and lower than the other quotes that I received. I will definitely make Vigilant Plumbing my "hometown plumber" whenever I need those types of services."

"I needed my whole home repiped (old pipes leaking and not up to code). Easy had given us a great quote and guaranteed his work for a year, back when we moved in to our "fixer upper" home in July 2024. Well, after this snow storm I had heard a leak and was afraid the pipe had frozen. Easy came out the next day and discovered a T pipe leaking that just wasn't secured right. The man stood by his statement, Easy had it fixed quick at no cost to me. I have also had him come out to inspect the Well on my property and gave me a great quote for getting things cleaned up and running smooth. We will be using G.L. Ward plumbing for all of our future needs!!! I couldn't recommend a more honest and fair (family owned, local) company. Thank you for all you do!!!"

"Murrills Inlet Pipe Dream Plumbing exceeded my expections. He arrived on scheduled date, arrived early, clearly skilled and knowledgeable of what needed to be done. He replaced a hot water tank, expansion tank and fixed the master shutoff valve plumbing. He also reseated tha master bath toilet. This was a bigger job due to original install years ago was done incorrectly. He is neat and cleaned up after completing the work. Clearly the kind of professionalism and service you woul want. Highly reccommend."

Sewer Cleaning questions, answered by experts

It is generally safe to stay in a house that smells like sewage for a short time, but you should get the problem fixed as soon as possible. While the level of sewer gas is usually low enough to only cause minor symptoms, prolonged inhalation can lead to headaches, nausea, or respiratory irritation. High levels of gas exposure can be more dangerous, and high concentrations of methane—a component of sewer gas—can pose an explosion risk in enclosed spaces. If you smell sewer gas in your home, ventilate the area and call a professional to locate, assess, and fix the problem, as it will not go away on its own.

The cost to unclog a drain varies based on the location and severity of the clog. For simple clogs within your home, such as in a sink, toilet, or shower, hiring a plumber typically costs between $110 and $350, with an average of around $200. Snaking a toilet or sink usually costs between $110 and $275, while a bathtub or shower clog costs about $225.

For a more serious clog in the main sewer line, the cost is higher. Clearing a main line clog generally costs between $200 and $600, with an average of about $380. However, prices can range from as low as $100 for snaking a minor clog to over $1,600, particularly if advanced methods like video inspection and hydrojetting are needed for a large or hard-to-reach blockage. Some severe main line clogs can cost upwards of $1,000 to clear depending on factors like the cause of the clog, its distance from an accessible cleanout, and whether the pipe is located beneath an occupied space (e.g., in an apartment building). You may be able to save money on minor clogs by using a drain snake or bladder yourself.

Your sewer line can get grimy quickly. To prevent sludge buildup in your sewer line, pour a mixture of 1/3 cup of vinegar and 1/3 cup of baking soda down each drain in your home once a month. After about 30 minutes, flush the drain with hot water.

Some plumbers recommend 3/4 cup of bleach instead to clean any germs and bacteria that may build up in your sewer line. But this won’t break down any active clogs, and it cannot be combined with vinegar, as the mixture will create a toxic, hazardous gas.

Most commercial liquid drain cleaners work in 15 to 30 minutes. Consult the label on the bottle for additional instructions or time suggestions to prevent damage to your drainpipes. Alternative solutions such as baking soda, salt, white vinegar, and/or boiling water can take longer since they are less harsh than liquid drain cleaners.

First, find the cleanout pipe in your yard. Unscrew the cap—you may need a wrench to do so. Then, get a drain snake. You can use a non-motorized one, but a motorized snake will make the job a little easier. Feed the snake through the pipe until it reaches the clog. Spin the snake continuously, but don’t try to feed it through the pipe anymore. Keep spinning until you feel it break the clog apart.
