"We had an internal house line leading to the sewer plugged on a Sunday. We couldn't run any water in the house without it coming out of the drain and into the basement. Based on all the positive reviews I read of KJM plumbing, I called Kurt and he was here within 20 minutes with his machine and cleared the clog, which took about an hour. Pleasant, polite man. The price was reasonable for a weekend emergency call. If I need a plumber again, he'll be the first one I'll call."

"We started having trouble with the floor drain backing up and it was pretty obvious that there was something slowing flow from the main line of the house. I called Cardinal on a Tuesday evening and they set me up with an inspection for noon by the next day. They were running ahead of schedule, so they contacted me to see whether I would be ready an hour earlier. I was, so their service man Robert Welch can out very promptly, helped identify the location of the cleanout for the main line, and got to work. He ended up chiseling out the cap which had never been opened for the life of the house. He was able to clean out some minor tree root growth from the line, inspect the line with a scope, and guarantee the work in about 3 hours. He was careful to clean up from all of his work and was very polite during the visit. When all was said and done, I had a working sewer line within 24 hours of my phone call. I am happy to recommend Robert and Cardinal to others for quick drain cleaning service."

Drain Cleaning questions, answered by experts

Although linear drains allow water to flow quickly and efficiently, they tend to clog more easily than traditional drains. Linear drains are flush with the shower floor, allowing soap scum and hair to potentially build up. They’re also longer than other drains, allowing for more space to let debris fall into the drainpipe. 

Costs depend on clog severity, pipe condition, equipment required, and labor.

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

If the drain pump on your washing machine is continuously draining, it could be that the control board is damaged and requires repair, or there’s a clogged or kinked drain hose. If you can’t locate the problem, you’ll want to have a plumber or appliance repair expert come take a look.

Main sewer lines can clog for several reasons. For example, if you regularly dump oil or grease down your drain, it could eventually block your line. Sometimes, tree roots can penetrate and grow inside old sewer pipes, creating a major blockage. Flushing bulky items (like paper towels, diapers, or baby wipes) can also clog your plumbing system.
