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 you get rid of roots in a main sewer line?

• <div><p>You should hire a sewer service professional to unclog a main sewer line with tree roots. Tree roots can grow into the main sewer line, and this problem requires a specialized hydro jet, or rooter, that is powerful enough to clear the roots. The tree can also damage the main sewer line, and a professional will need to make repairs or replace the damaged sections. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-sewer-line-replacement-or-repair-cost.htm">Sewer line replacement costs</a> about $60 to $250 per linear foot. </p></div>

Q: How do you remove a drain without crosshairs?

• <div><p>If your drain doesn&rsquo;t have metal crosshairs or crossbars, you should use a tub drain extractor. These tools create a grip on the drain so you can turn it using a 1/2-inch ratchet drive, drain key, or wrench. Your drain may not have crosshairs if it's old and broken.</p></div>

Q: How much does sewer main clearing cost?

• <div><p>Costs range from $200 to $600, depending on the severity of the blockage and access difficulty.</p></div>

Q: How can you tell if a drain line is clogged?

• <div><p>Knowing the signs can alert you to a clogged drain line. Clogs cause slow drainage or cause no drainage (if there&rsquo;s a complete blockage). You may also notice foul odors, gurgling noises, water backing up in other appliances on the same line, or a poorly flushing toilet. If you experience any of these issues and think your line might be clogged, call a plumber.</p></div>
