Quality. Experienced. Professional. Craig Cowles has been digging in the dirt since 1988. He fell in love with excavation work while following his grandfather around. He now has any size equipment for any size job. Whether you are building your dream home, a business, or need municipal sewer work conducted, there is nothing Craig can't do.

"Craig is amazing to work with, professional and does a great job!"

"I had a GREAT experience with Corey (who did the actual work) as well as everybody who worked to schedule his visit. I appreciated being given the option to hold off 'til Monday and avoid a weekend upcharge. Service was exactly as quoted and is just the going rate. They stayed in contact through the whole process. I also learned a thing or two from Corey (avoid antimicrobial soaps) and have re-committed to minimizing garbage-disposal usage. I pre-cleaned the mess in my basement and Corey left it just as he found it."

Sewer Cleaning questions, answered by experts

No, you should not see water in a sewer cleanout. If you do, it could indicate that you have a block or leak in your main sewer line—which can cause sewage to back up inside your home and potentially flood your yard. Your best bet is to call a local sewer cleaner if you notice any water or sewage around your cleanout.

Some experts estimate that descaling your cast iron pipes can extend their lifetime by upwards of 50 years, although there’s not a lot of research to prove it. But we do know that without proper maintenance, cast iron pipes can quickly rust—leading to more expensive issues like burst pipes or main line clogs.

If methods like hot water or a plunger don’t work on your clogged drain, you can snake your drain to dislodge the plug. This can be a messy process, taking some physical effort and additional time over the other drain-clearing options. You can purchase a drain snake at a hardware store and choose from handheld options or those attached to a drill. Just work slowly, and be ready to call a plumber if you’re unable to reach the clog from your drain or P-trap.

Yes, hiring a drain cleaner is worth it, especially when compared to the cost of not being able to use a sink, shower, toilet, or bathtub and the potential damage that flooding can cause in your home. You might try a temporary drain cleaning liquid or snaking it yourself, but if the clog is out of reach or these methods do not work, then hiring a professional drain cleaner is the way to go.

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.
