Q: Who is responsible for blocked sewers?

• <div><p>This depends on the location of the blockage. If the blockage is in your home&rsquo;s system, anywhere in the system, it is your responsibility as a homeowner. Blockages seldom happen because of items or buildup coming from the city, which means it originates in the home. It becomes the city&rsquo;s responsibility at the exact point your home&rsquo;s line distributes waste into the city&rsquo;s system. The exception is if the problem in your home damages the city lines. </p></div>

Q: How often should sewer lines be cleaned?

• <div><p>The best practice is to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-often-should-i-clean-my-sewer-drain.htm">clean the sewer drain lines</a> in your home once a year or every two years. Older homes could require more frequent maintenance. Keeping up on cleaning your sewer lines can prevent severe clogs, help ensure your system is working properly, and prevent expensive repairs. </p></div>

Q: Do drain cleaning experts need to be certified or licensed?

• <div><p>In most areas, drain cleaning professionals don&rsquo;t technically need a license, as they aren&rsquo;t altering your plumbing system in any way. However, we recommend hiring a drain cleaning professional with a plumbing license and certification. Certified plumbers are more likely to provide professional solutions to drain clogs without damaging your system. They&rsquo;ll also have the diagnostic tools and experience necessary to remove the clog entirely rather than providing a temporary solution, as a handyperson might. Use Angi&rsquo;s <a href="https://www.angi.com/angi-license-check.htm">state licensing tool</a> to check your plumber&rsquo;s professional licenses before hiring.</p></div>

Q: Is it safe to stay in a house that smells like sewage?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s generally safe to stay in a house that smells like sewage, but you should get the problem fixed as soon as possible. In most cases, the level of sewer gas you&rsquo;re exposed to in a home will be low enough to only cause minor symptoms, though high levels of gas exposure can be more dangerous. If you&rsquo;re smelling sewer gas in your home, it&rsquo;s important to locate, assess, and fix the problem, because it won&rsquo;t go away on its own. </p></div>

Q: How do I maintain a drainage system?

• <div><p>Inspect regularly for clogs, clean drain lines, and ensure grading directs water away from the foundation.</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!
