Why your whole house is backing up (and what we do about it)
When toilets, tubs, and floor drains all back up at once, the main sewer line is the bottleneck. Roots, scale, grease, and settled pipe can slow or stop the flow leaving your home. Our licensed technicians clear the blockage the right way the first time—and verify flow before we leave.
You may need main-line cleaning if you notice:
- Multiple fixtures backing up at the same time (toilet + tub + floor drain)
- Gurgling drains or sewer odors in the basement
- Water around a basement floor drain after laundry or showers
- Slow drains throughout the home, especially after rain
- Frequent clogs that keep coming back

Our 4‑Step Main Line Cleaning Process
1. Diagnose
We locate the best access (cleanout or pulled toilet), assess symptoms, and—when needed—camera inspect to pinpoint the problem and confirm line size/material.
2. Clean
We use the right method for your line:
- Professional rodding/augering to break through heavy obstructions
- Hydro‑jetting (high‑pressure water) to scrub pipe walls and flush roots/grease
3. Verify
We run water tests and (if requested) provide color video to confirm full flow restored.
4. Prevent
We advise on root control, proper maintenance intervals, and options like installing an exterior cleanout for easier future service.

What causes main sewer clogs?
- Tree roots entering at joints (common in older clay tile lines)

FAQs: Main Sewer Line Cleaning
How fast can you get here?
We offer same‑day and 24/7 emergency service. Call for current availability.
Will this get messy?
We protect your home with mats and covers. If we pull a toilet, we reset and seal it properly.
Rodding vs. hydro‑jetting—what’s the difference?
Rodding breaks through the blockage; hydro‑jetting power‑washes the pipe walls to remove residue and roots for a longer‑lasting clean.
Do I need a camera inspection?
It’s optional but recommended after major blockages or when clogs return. Video helps prove the line is clear and identify damaged sections.
How long does a main‑line service take?
Most cleanings are 60–120 minutes depending on access, severity, and whether jetting or camera work is needed.
What if the pipe is broken?
We’ll show you on video and discuss repair or replacement options. You’ll get a written estimate—no pressure.
