"I needed my laundry room drain unclogged. I posted the job on Saturday night for work to be done on Tuesday morning. Jim called Sunday morning, said he was available that day. Came out relatively quick and the job was done within the hour. I highly recommend Jim. I'm certainly going to give him a call the next time I need work done."

"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

Depending on the home, wastewater either goes into a septic tank and seeps back into the backyard or is sent via sewer system to a local sewage-treatment plant. Septic systems naturally separate different components of the waste so that it can naturally and safely disperse it. They are usually reserved for homes not served by a municipal sewage department (like rural homes). A treatment plant, on the other hand, speeds up that process through screening and purification.

If you’re wondering whether rats can come up the toilet, the unfortunate answer is yes, it’s possible, though it’s extremely rare. These rodents are excellent swimmers and can travel through sewer pipes in search of food, and they may follow plumbing lines leading to your home if they’re drawn by the scent of scraps and waste. The toilet’s U-bend holds a small pocket of air, which can help a rat catch its breath before making its final push into your bathroom. While more common in cities with larger rat populations, this can happen anywhere with connected sewer systems; sealing entry points and keeping drains clean can help reduce the risk.

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.

Sometimes, the drain is just too clogged—thanks, stubborn hair and soap scum. In this case, you’ll need a more powerful drain cleaner than you can DIY safely at home. But this doesn’t mean you have to choose a traditional drain cleaner. 

You can find biodegradable drain cleaners at your local home improvement store or online for those drains that need a little more oomph. 

While on the hunt for a formidable drain cleaner, the best options are non-chemical clog solutions that combine enzymes and bacteria.

Grease buildup, tree roots, and foreign objects often cause blockages. Regular maintenance prevents major issues.
