Q: What are the signs of a clogged main sewer line?

• <div><p>Some signs that your main sewer line is clogged are easy to spot, like when water backs up into your showers, sinks, and toilets for no apparent reason. However, some indicators are more subtle. The most common signs that you may have a clogged sewer main include:</p><ul><li><p>Gurgling sounds coming from drains or toilet</p></li><li><p>Water in your basement drain or in the lawn</p></li><li><p>Smell of raw sewage throughout your home</p></li><li><p>Other found odors like rotten eggs around your home</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: How often should a sewer line be cleaned?

• <div><p>A <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-often-should-i-clean-my-sewer-drain.htm">sewer line should be cleaned</a> at least once every 18 to 22 months. The process takes about 30 minutes or up to 5 hours, depending on the size of the line, how easy it is to access, and how long it&rsquo;s been since the previous cleaning. If your sewer line hasn&rsquo;t been cleaned in a couple of years or you don&rsquo;t even know the last time it&rsquo;s been cleaned, it&rsquo;s time to call a pro. </p></div>

Q: How do I know if my basement floor drain is clogged?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/stop-water-basement-floor.htm">Water leaking through your basement floor</a> is a good sign of a clogged drain, but another sign of a clogged basement floor drain can include unpleasant odors coming from the drain. Also, hearing gurgling noises when water drains from the basement or having other plumbing fixtures (like toilets or other drains) backing up is a good indicator.</p></div>

Q: How do I get rid of a sewer smell in my crawl space?

• <div><p>To get rid of a sewer smell in your crawl space, you&rsquo;ll have to find the source of the problem. If it has to do with your sewer lines, then repairing the line will help. You may need to make other repairs, like fixing your sump pump or encapsulating your crawl space to reduce moisture. After you make the repair, depending on the issue, you may still need to clean out your crawl space to get rid of the stink. </p></div>

Q: How do I stop sludge buildup in my sewer line?

• <div><p>Your sewer line can get grimy quickly. To prevent sludge buildup in your sewer line, pour a mixture of 1/3 cup of vinegar and 1/3 cup of baking soda down each drain in your home once a month. After about 30 minutes, flush the drain with hot water.</p><p>Some plumbers recommend 3/4 cup of bleach instead to clean any germs and bacteria that may build up in your sewer line. But this won&rsquo;t break down any active clogs, and it cannot be combined with vinegar, as the mixture will create a toxic, hazardous gas.</p></div>

Nothing but great things! I have three kids, so naturally cleaning gets behind me. I asked for a deep clean and my house has never been cleaner, honestly. I will 100% be using this company time and time again along with telling all my friends and family about them!

José and his crew were amazing and did such a beautiful job! They revamped flower beds, installed drain lines, built an island bed, and dug a burn pit for us. They worked nonstop and did a wonderful clean-up at the end. We will most definitely use them again!

I called Boothe Electric. They called me back within 30 minutes and came out in another 30 minutes to trouble shoot an electrical problem with my sewer pump. It turned out to just be a tripped breaker. Service was professional and prompt!
