"A+++ RATING!! I made the mistake of calling Hiller early in the morning when I first noticed the large water leak in my front yard. Hiller didn't show up until the sun was almost down and wanted $1100 to patch a 1 foot section of pipe that had burst in the yard. I paid them their standard $59 for the exam fee and sent them on their way and called Straight Flush Plumbing. This was the BEST decision I made all day. Not only was their price MUCH MUCH better and affordable but they were also extremely professional, came all the way out to my house across town IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC, after-hours and got the job done FAST! Don't forget, this is January in Tennessee mind you...The technician gave me an honest assessment of the short and long-term situation with my pipes and also gave me a lot of valuable information on how to better avoid problems like this in the future. These guys are real. I HIGHLY recommend them."

Sewer Cleaning questions, answered by experts

Thankfully, it’s pretty rare to find a rat in your toilet. It’s more likely in larger cities with big sewer systems that can be feeding grounds for rats, but even then, you still shouldn’t fret. 

“I wouldn’t worry too much about rats coming up through the sewers,” Bradshaw says. “I’d say only one out of a thousand rodent customers we get actually have this problem. And of the 20 or some customers that have had this happen, they’ve all only had just one rat come up this way.”

DIY is not recommended due to safety risks and specialized equipment requirements. Hire professionals for effective clearing.

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.

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.

Ejector pumps can only push sewage 750 feet or less. That’s because their purpose is to move waste from your home to your sewer line—which is a relatively short distance. Grinder pumps can transport sewage further, but they manage lower volumes of waste than ejector pumps (and they don’t work with septic systems).
