"They did a fast job clearing our clogged main like that was causing our bathroom to flood. However they would not replace our wax seal on the toilet even though it was covered under our home warranty stating “the warranty won’t pay us what we charge so we will not do it”. Then after leaving I noticed a bunch of toilet paper around our main line access. They left the trash they removed from the line."

Black Plumbing is a 20 year old family owned business with a fleet of 16 trucks and 27 employees.

"02 May 2025 Technician Connor (sp?) arrived at my house this morning 9:00 a.m. to repair a leak under my master bath sink. He arrived as scheduled, and after reviewing the sink, he explained what the work will entail. Twice he gave me thorough updates--easy to understand terms, and when he was finished, he showed me what the problem was. He replaced the old water shut off valves, and adjusted the water to a conservate level, so not to affect my water bill. Connor was very professional the entire time and did outstanding work in a short period of time. He gave me recommendations to keep the sink from future leaks. I highly recommend Black Plumbing and if you can, ask for Connor. You will not be disappointed. If allowed, a 10-Star Rating."

The average cost to snake your main sewer line is around $250 for a simple snake. Most sewer line specialists charge between $45 and $200 per hour for main sewer line snaking, so the time involved plays a major role. The price you’ll pay will depend on the severity of the clog, the item causing the backup, how long it takes to remove the item, and more. A more severe issue that requires unclogging a main sewer line will cost $3,100 on average.

There are a few signs of a clog in your main sewer line that you should keep in mind.

Common signs of a sewer line clog:

  • Multiple fixtures in your home drain slowly

  • Drains in your home gurgle during or after draining

  • Water backs up into your sewer line cleanout

  • You notice foul odors in your home

The best way to confirm that your main sewer line is clogged is to hire a professional plumber to assess the situation and use a camera to inspect the inside.

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.

You should not attempt to snake your sewer yourself. Accessing and snaking your sewer requires heavy-duty equipment, and while renting is possible, misusing it can damage your sewer main and leave you with very expensive repair costs, not to mention potential environmental issues and severe water damage. Accessing your sewer also exposes you to hazardous sewer gasses, and failing to seal the sewer properly after work can be very dangerous. It’s always best to hire a professional sewer cleaner near you to handle this type of work.
