"Came right over to give me the bid. Two other companies did not show up or call back. Arrived on time to do the job and finished on time. Did a great job and cleaned up after themselves. Will use again in future for pluming for gas or water."

"Will definitely hire again! Another plumber told me the ONLY fix was to replumb the entire unit to replace the old pipes in a rental unit. Shane came in and cleaned everything up and replaced the shower workings and we have a very happy tenant now! Great water pressure all around. Very patient during an issue with the water company as well. Highly recommend their services."

"We had South State Maintenance LLC handle all the plumbing for the new addition on our house, and they absolutely crushed it! From start to finish, the crew was professional, on time, and super easy to work with. Everything was done right the first time, and they kept the whole process smooth and stress-free. We’re beyond happy with the results and will definitely be calling them again for any future work. Highly recommend!"

Sewer Cleaning questions, answered by experts

Homeowners insurance usually doesn’t cover sewer backups because it’s typically an avoidable problem with proper maintenance. The only exception would be if the backup is occurring because of local flooding and only if your city uses a combined drainage system for stormwater and sewage. If that’s the case, your policy should cover any resulting damage.

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.

It is safe to flush small amounts of bleach down the toilet. Don’t flush more than ¼ cup of bleach. Instead, consider diluting it and pouring it down the sink drain.

You should hire a sewer service professional to unclog a main sewer line with tree roots. Tree roots can grow into the main sewer line, and this problem requires a specialized hydro jet, or rooter, that is powerful enough to clear the roots. The tree can also damage the main sewer line, and a professional will need to make repairs or replace the damaged sections. Sewer line replacement costs about $60 to $250 per linear foot.

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.
