"I would recommend White's Plumbing & Repair to anyone who's looking for a plumber who will show up as promised, accurately diagnose a problem, and who possesses the skills to make the necessary repairs. After another company had left me in a difficult position by sending a plumber who was was uninterested and/or unable to deal with my problem, White's Plumbing & Repair came to the rescue. Even at the end of a long, busy day, Lorenzo and his assistant showed up as promised and treated me as if I was most important customer of the day. He was thorough, and it was obvious that he took pride in his work. I'm thankful that I was able to connect with White's Plumbing & Repair, and grateful for the good work that Lorenzo did that day."

"My disabled mom was very worried and didn't understand the job that needed to be performed. Jeremy, from ECR Plumbing, was very polite and sat down with my mom and went over the whole job and explained everything to her so she could understand. She was so happy and relieved to have someone who cared so much about his work and and that he explained everything that was going to be done. As far as the job, Jeremy, went out of his way out go the extra mile and put in the best products and also keeping the price lower than the other 3 plumbing companies that I had called. The ECR crew were on time and finished the job in 2 days."

Sewer Cleaning questions, answered by experts

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.

Your sewer pro will take about an hour to complete your sewer line camera inspection. However, if your home does not have cleanout access and the pro needs to remove the toilet to access the sewer line, the time to completion will take longer. Note that this estimated time does not include the time for repair, drain cleaning, or any other services you may need. 

Your sewer line can get grimy quickly. To prevent sludge buildup in your sewer line, pour a mixture of 1/3 cup of vinegar and 1/3 cup of baking soda down each drain in your home once a month. After about 30 minutes, flush the drain with hot water.

Some plumbers recommend 3/4 cup of bleach instead to clean any germs and bacteria that may build up in your sewer line. But this won’t break down any active clogs, and it cannot be combined with vinegar, as the mixture will create a toxic, hazardous gas.

The cost to clean a sewer line is about $370, ranging from about $190 to $550 on average. The specific cleaning method and the problem's severity will impact the project's overall cost. Some of the most common sewer line cleaning methods include:

  • Snaking or rodding: $100–$250

  • Hydrojetting: $350–$600

  • Chemical treatments: $600–$1,000

  • Repair or replacement: $1,000–$7,500

While some chemical drain cleaners with hydrochloric acid can dissolve hair, this method is not recommended as it can also destroy your plumbing pipes. A common DIY alternative is using baking soda and vinegar, which can help break down the clog but will not actually dissolve the hair. The best and safest method for clearing a hair clog is to remove it manually. You can use a drain snake, a straightened wire hanger with pliers to fish out the clog, or have a plumber use a professional auger for more severe blockages.
