Repeat multiple times as needed.</p></div>

Q: How long does it take to unclog a main sewer line?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;ll take <b>20 to 30 minutes</b> to unclog a sewer line using a drain snake or drain cleaner.

In addition to clearing the clog, they&rsquo;ll do other routine inspections, which adds to the overall time (and cost) required.</p></div>

Q: How long does it take to clear a commercial drain blockage?

Q: Is a clogged sewer line covered by insurance?
