"I called half a dozen companies, and DB's was the only one able to send someone out on the same day. Trevor worked to understand an unusual problem, and he figured out (after ruling out foundaton issues) that the root cause was not a sewer pipe leak, but an issue brought about by an earlier spillage and a broken dehumidifier. Trevor was very courteous, clear, and helpful. After he pinpointed the issue, he walked me through appropriate next steps I could/should take, and he referred me to another firm to help with mold/renovation issues related to what he examined today. I was very pleased with the experience and cost, and I'd hired DB's again."

"We purchased our house that has a water treatment & purification system and water heater that was installed by Mermaid Water. We have had them out for system check and to help us understand how to use the system. They also helped correct an item from house inspection regarding the water heater. They have been extremely helpful and responsive. Brent does an excellent job of making sure that the customer is happy."

"Tech came out on time. Friendly and courteous. Knowledgeable and helpful. Dealt with immediate issue of clogged sewer pipe. And also identified the reason for the problem, which was the sewer pipe under foundation was cracked and causing the clog. Sent an estimate for cracked sewer pipe repair within about 15 mins, and thus I was able to quickly get the repair work scheduled."

"Ten Stars! One of the best experiences I've ever had with HVAC work. David and Oscar performed the installation and they were great! Meticulous, clean, professional, fixed issues from previous installs, and explained everything in detail. Tyler was great too! Worked with me to come up with a great deal on a Trane system that exceeded my expectations. If anyone needs HVAC work, SwiftPro is the team you want!"

Sewer Cleaning questions, answered by experts

First, find the cleanout pipe in your yard. Unscrew the cap—you may need a wrench to do so. Then, get a drain snake. You can use a non-motorized one, but a motorized snake will make the job a little easier. Feed the snake through the pipe until it reaches the clog. Spin the snake continuously, but don’t try to feed it through the pipe anymore. Keep spinning until you feel it break the clog apart.

Bleach isn’t likely to help unclog a sewer line. Bleach isn’t useful in this situation because it won’t dissolve the grime and debris in the clog. Instead, you want to use ingredients that will have a chemical reaction to clear out the buildup, like vinegar or salt and baking soda.

As a preventative measure, hydro jetting should be done every one to two years. However, the best practice is to hydro jet your sewer line once per year. The ideal frequency depends on several factors, including the age and condition of your pipes, how prone they are to clogging, how often the sewer line is used, and the type of waste disposed of in the system. If you frequently experience clogs or are unsure, it's best to ask a licensed plumber for a recommendation specific to your plumbing system.

Common drain issues include slow-running drains, whether in a sink or shower, clogged drains, a bad smell, and water backing up into a sink, shower, or bathtub. Causes range from hair, grease, roots, or toilet paper clogging the drainpipes to flooding outside the home, which prevents sewer lines from draining properly.

This depends on the location of the blockage. If the blockage is in your home’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’s responsibility at the exact point your home’s line distributes waste into the city’s system. The exception is if the problem in your home damages the city lines.
