"This company was terrible and took my money. They were supposed to come on December 23 after waiting all day they called and said they were coming until tomorrow. They came on December 24 when the plumber came in I informed him that I had already snaked it and that probably was not going to work they insisted on sneaking it anyway, after the plumber left and we paid $287.00, we proceeded to flush the toilet and once again, it was still stopped up. I called no one was able to come out until the 26th which is understandable since it was Christmas that following day. another plumber came out and informed me that the person that came was not really a plumber but just a person that unclog the toilet. He then proceeded to tell me that I needed a new toilet and then quoted me a price of $1300 to install a new toilet. I did inquire about a refund since the job was not completed effectively. I was told they could possibly install the toilet at a small discount. Went to Home Depot purchase a toilet for $200 and $250 for installation. I would not ever recommend this company to anyone I lost out on a lot of money with no result. I am very disappointing. Please donâ t use this company."

Sewer main clearings FAQs

Plan on hiring a plumbing pro every 18 to 22 months to keep buildup from turning into a full‑blown blockage. Mark a reminder on your calendar, even if everything seems to be flowing fine. Between visits, watch for early red flags—gurgling drains, slow water, or sewer odors—and call a plumber sooner if you notice them.

Most cleanouts wrap up in about two hours, but complexity drives the clock. A simple clog can be gone in under 60 minutes, while a stubborn blockage, especially one that needs repairs, can stretch to four or five hours. Major damage may push the job into a multi‑day project. Your plumber can give you an accurate time estimate after they’ve assessed your situation.

You can’t prevent every clog, as they naturally occur over time, but you can drastically reduce their frequency by following common-sense steps. Toss solids in the trash or disposal, and keep only water, approved liquids, and toilet paper down the pipes. Never flush problem items like dental floss, paper towels, cat litter, or “flushable” wipes. Finally, conduct regular inspections and perform routine maintenance and cleaning.

Start by confirming the company is licensed, insured, and certified. Next, dig into reviews and ask for references to be sure their work lives up to the hype. In addition, a company with several years of experience and recognized industry awards demonstrates reliability and quality. These factors altogether form the foundation for making an informed decision when hiring a sewer line professional.

Sewer line cleaning improves the overall performance of your home’s plumbing system by ensuring smooth operation throughout all connected pipes. Maintaining a clean main sewer line prevents backups and supports the efficient flow of water across your entire plumbing network. Regular maintenance not only minimizes the risk of unexpected repairs but also prolongs the life of your pipes, while seasonal care, such as winterizing, further safeguards your system’s performance.
