What Can We Do for You?

Sewer lines clog sometimes, often due to tree root intrusion or the general buildup of gunk and grime after consistent use. A minor clog might only cause slow drainage, but if it gets bad enough, it can lead to serious sewage backups or broken lines.

As your friendly neighborhood plumbing company, Hometown Heroes understands how to address sewer line clogs. We put people over profit, delivering high-quality, affordable plumbing services in Lee’s Summit and the surrounding areas. Our team utilizes proven methods and equipment to clear sewer lines. This includes snaking, which breaks down clogs, and hydro jetting, which blasts pressurized water through pipes.

Price

How Much Does a Sewer Line Clearing Cost?

What Affects the Cost of Sewer Line Clearing?

The cost of clearing a sewer line fluctuates widely. When quoting a price, our team considers:

  • Severity of the clog: Minor clogs often cost much less to resolve than more severe ones.
  • Cleaning method (snaking vs. hydro jetting): Hydro jetting costs significantly more than standard drain snaking.
  • Accessibility: If your line is difficult to access or requires additional labor to clear a path, costs often increase.
  • Emergencies: After-hours or emergency services usually come with additional surcharges.
  • Inspections: If inspections are necessary before completing work, costs often increase.

FAQs

Sewer Line Clearing Frequently Asked Questions

Your main sewer line may be clogged if:

  • Multiple drains clear slowly.
  • Multiple drains gurgle.
  • You have sewage backing up in the lowest levels of your home.
  • Persistent sewage odors from drains.

If you notice these issues, have a plumber inspect your line right away. They can inspect your sewer line and provide recommendations for how to proceed.

Most sewer lines should be cleared at least every 18 to 24 months. This helps prevent major backups from developing. However, it may be necessary every 6 to 12 months for larger households, homes with older clay pipes, or if there are trees growing near the line. Roots can infiltrate pipes and must be removed to prevent major damage.

Snaking and hydro jetting clear drains differently. A snake pierces through clogs to break them down and allow them to flush through the drain or to pull them back out. It’s most effective for a minor blockage, especially if it’s in older pipes that can’t withstand hydro jetting.

Hydro jetting uses highly pressurized water to blast away debris and grease, thoroughly cleaning pipes from the inside. It’s best for stubborn, recurring clogs, but only if the pipes are in good condition.

You should never put these down the drain:

  • Cooking fats
  • Grease
  • Oil
  • Most food waste
  • Coffee grounds
  • “Flushable” wipes
  • Feminine hygiene products
  • Cat litter
  • Paper products
  • Store-bought cleaners
  • Paints
  • Medications
  • Hazardous fluids like automotive fluids

These can cause damage to your plumbing or be hazardous to the local water supply.

While a garbage disposal allows you to put some food waste down the drain, you still have to be cautious. Fibrous foods, shells, bones, and grease should still never go down the drain.

Testimonial

Super Friendly and Did a Great Job

“Caleb was super friendly and did a great job. He knew I worked from home and had a call in an hour that I couldn’t miss. He was in and out quickly but didn’t sacrifice quality. I also love that they text you before the appointment the name of who is coming along with a picture, so you know who to expect will be at your door.”
