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

In the majority of cases, homeowners insurance will not cover a main sewer line root clog. The reason is that most insurance companies consider tree root damage to sewer lines as common wear and tear, which is also preventable. However, you may be able to buy optional add-on coverage, such as "service line coverage" or "sewer line endorsements," that would protect against root damage to your sewer line.

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.

A clogged sewer line is not typically covered by homeowner’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.

Most commercial liquid drain cleaners work in 15 to 30 minutes. Consult the label on the bottle for additional instructions or time suggestions to prevent damage to your drainpipes. Alternative solutions such as baking soda, salt, white vinegar, and/or boiling water can take longer since they are less harsh than liquid drain cleaners.

One way to save money on sewer lines is to install a sewer cleanout since it makes sewer line maintenance easier. Keeping up with maintenance is key to reducing the cost of repairs, so be sure to schedule annual plumbing inspections, install drain guards to stop objects from accidentally falling down drains, and only flush human waste and toilet paper to protect your pipes.
