"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."

"I am beyond ecstatic and satisfied with Gardner Plumbing. I didnâ t really know what to do when our sewer had backed up and called around multiple places trying to get something done same day. All the other places I have called that have been in business a while acted like they didnâ t care about the issue and would get to it when they could. Gardner Plumbing sent out a technician named â Fredâ that I would highly recommend. Extremely professional and let me know that roots had grown through our sewer line. He gave me multiple options to fix it but we decided to replace our sewer line to keep any future worries away. The price was awesome and I honestly cannot describe any better experience than what I had. Thank you guys very much for all of your help!"

"I called on a Friday and he was able to come that Monday. He is very straight forward and honest. He took the time to explain things and how to prevent it in the future. Our tank was located under a deck so there was extra work involved for which he did not charge for. I was very impressed with the hard work put forth and he drained not only the wastewater but the sludge. This is important because there are others who will only pull off the wastewater and not the rest, so be certain who you choose. We chose well."

Sewer Cleaning FAQs, answered by experts

A two-way cleanout can help if there’s already a clog, but the best strategy to prevent one is by not rinsing grease, oil, or fat down your drains, not flushing or rinsing coffee grounds or egg shells down your drains, flushing only human waste and toilet paper (so no diapers, period products, bathroom wipes, or paper towels), and using drain guards on all of your drains.

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.

It’ll take 20 to 30 minutes to unclog a sewer line using a drain snake or drain cleaner. If you hire a professional, you should expect them to be on-site for three hours or less. In addition to clearing the clog, they’ll do other routine inspections, which adds to the overall time (and cost) required.

Costs vary by severity and access requirements. Typical pricing ranges from $100 to $350, increasing with complexity or for emergency services.

A clogged sewer line is not typically covered by homeowner’s insurance, though some sewer line issues are covered. For instance, damage related to a fallen tree is usually covered. Though sewer line replacement is not covered in a standard insurance policy, some companies offer add-ons for this purpose. Read the fine print before spending your own money.
