Q: Is a clogged sewer line covered by insurance?

• <div><p>A clogged sewer line is not typically covered by homeowner&rsquo;s insurance, though some sewer line issues are covered. For instance, damage related to a fallen tree is usually covered. Though sewer line replacement is not covered in a standard insurance policy, some companies offer add-ons for this purpose. Read the fine print before spending your own money.</p></div>

Q: How do you avoid future clogs?

• <div><p>Using less toilet paper is the easiest way to prevent future clogs. Also, avoid flushing sanitary products, thick paper towels, or hair down the toilet. If you&rsquo;ve been using a brick in the tank to reduce the water used to flush the toilet, take it out immediately. Bricks will eventually fall apart and clog your toilet drain. Keeping your toilet lid closed also helps avoid future clogs.</p></div>

Q: How can I tell if my main sewer line is clogged?

• <div><p>While not every clog has the same symptoms, the most common early sign that your main sewer line is clogged is that multiple drains in your home are draining slowly. You may also notice gurgling and odors from drains. If your plumbing system's drain cleanout is backing up with water, this is also a sign of a clog or blockage.</p></div>

Q: How often should you snake your sewer line?

• <div><p>Unlike regular cleanings, snaking your sewer line should be done as needed. There&rsquo;s no reason to snake your sewer line if you don&rsquo;t have any noticeable issues, like slow drainage or plugged drains. You can add it to your regular sewer cleaning checklist as a prevention method (on the same <b>18- to 22-month</b> schedule), but it&rsquo;s not always necessary. </p></div>

Q: How long does sewer clearing take?

• <div><p>Clearing typically takes 1-2 hours, depending on the blockage size and location.</p></div>
