The sewer comment is FYI and the foundation co. cautions that this may happen if the home has cast iron sewer lines. Homeowner agrees that landscape and irrigation lines that are damaged or lost are at homeowners expense, but company could be a bit more cautious in repairing the line and caring for landscape. In my case the irrigation line was severed, company attempted repair but the job was botched and I had to pay my irrigation contractor to locate and repair a leak that caused significant erosion. If you can repair the cut, you should be able to repair it properly and a test should be run to insure no leaks.

Came in and assessed the problem, gave a quote, we discussed and he went over everything thoroughly that he was going to do and the proposal was signed and work began. He worked very hard and I had a nice hot shower at the end of the day. To go a step further, on the 5th, we then had another plumbing issue that was un-related (backed up sewer due to roots). I called early, as I had a plane to catch and was very stressed about missing the flight and leaving the problem unattended. I called and Becky, who is awesome, said she would send someone right over. A different Jason arrived promptly, un-stopped the sewer line and I made my plane without any problems. These guys rock! and they also have online coupons - $100 off the water heater and $50 off the other issue.

"Plumber charged a lot to hack up my house to fix a leaking pipe behind the dishwasher. He didn't hook up the dishwasher drain line correctly and it leaked. Had to fix myself.

Avoid these guys!"

"Kevin Rex and Thomas are the Most Experienced, Professional, Diligent, Determined Punctual, Dependable and Likable Plumbers/Tradesmen we’ve ever worked with. My 86-year-old Mother bought a 50-year-old house with same owners for 50 years who had never updated nor maintained any of the toilets, sinks or HVAC. There were numerous plumbing problems with the old house. My husband & I care for the needs & repairs in my Mothers Life. We called another local plumber that stood us up twice for two weeks. I refused to work with them when they delayed coming a third time. I went online to get a plumber to my mothers house that day! (This was already 4:45 pm) Kevin answered for Leak Stop and he said Thomas would come over after his last appointment. Thomas unclogged 4 sinks with 50 years of Slime and Gunk. He permanently repaired a toilet that had previously overflowed several times because the Handle got stuck in UPposition. There was damp carpet in the master closet. Thomas did a Foundation Pressure Test to determine the foundation was NOT leaking. Therefore the damp carpet in the closet was due to the previous overflow of the toilet. We were so impressed with Thomas’s determination to evaluate our water problems Correctly instead of Quickly. He was now working into tree hours in the evening to solve our plumbing problems. We said the kitchen sink had very little water pressure. He went outside to the street to test the Cities water pressure. It was fine. He said it was probably IN the kitchen sink faucet that caused low water pressure. He’s coming back to repair that after we choose my mothers new faucet. We were so very impressed with Thomas’s knowledge and work ethic. Leak Stop did NOT gauge us with the price because it was late in the day and into the evening. Thomas assessed the water stains in the ceiling by going up into the attic to find that the HVAC runoff pipe was cracked or broken. He agreed that he would return the next week when we were there with my mother to repair the cracked pipe. 5 days later, the ceiling over my mothers bathtub collapsed. That was NOT in the area that showed any signs or stains of water leakage. We called Kevin Rex immediately and he said he’d be there within the hour. He discovered a runoff tube (very old) had popped off the HVAC apparently when the AC guy had come two weeks earlier to blow out a clogged pipe. The HVAC had been newly installed two months prior. The AC guy never checked the old tube that he blew out. The AC water drained for over a week onto the bathtub ceiling. Again, Kevin and Thomas worked into the night to tear out the ceiling, remove wet insulation then repair all tubes and pipes that had shown leakage in other areas of the ceiling. Kevin also called an HVAC Pro to insure the repairs were correctly made. They worked five hours strait to repair my mothers ceiling, pipes and cleaned up so well, you would never know a repairman had been there! My 86-year-old mother Loved both of these guys. My husband and I Love them too. They came, worked and stayed in a time of Crisis. They worked above and beyond the call of duty for one day. My mother is in Sunnyvale and we live in McKinney. We will called Kevin & Thomas at Leak Stop for any plumbing issues we may have in the future."

Sewer Cleaning questions, answered by experts
Regardless of the drain cleaner type you choose to use, they all work through chemical reactions that create heat. Thanks to the heat, the clogged hair begins to dissolve until it is able to be flushed away. To avoid clogs in your drain due to hair, use hair catchers and empty them out after every shower.
Depending on the home, wastewater either goes into a septic tank and seeps back into the backyard or is sent via sewer system to a local sewage-treatment plant. Septic systems naturally separate different components of the waste so that it can naturally and safely disperse it. They are usually reserved for homes not served by a municipal sewage department (like rural homes). A treatment plant, on the other hand, speeds up that process through screening and purification.
With a one-way cleanout, you can access your sewer line from one direction. Depending on the way it curves, a plumber can either access the side of the pipe that goes into your home or the side that goes to your yard. On the other hand, two-way cleanouts allow pros to access both sides of the sewer line, thanks to their dual-pipe design (they’re usually U-shaped).
A sewer line should be cleaned 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’s been since the previous cleaning. If your sewer line hasn’t been cleaned in a couple of years or you don’t even know the last time it’s been cleaned, it’s time to call a pro.
Anywhere from 18 inches to 8 feet deep. Your depth depends on soil and weather conditions in your area. If you live in a colder region, your lines are likely to be deeper than the lines of those living in warmer regions. Contact your local sanitation department or wastewater control board to get the plans for your system and find out for sure how deep your sewer lines are buried.
