"I have to be honest, I have been selfishly putting off leaving this review because I didn't want everyone knowing what a gem Edwin from PK Plumbing is. Edwin has come to our rescue WAY too often in the past year or so. Most recently, we had a massive leak in our crawl space which had apparently been going on for a long time before the pipe totally split. Edwin squeezed us in to come out and get the leak sorted out. Unfortunately, it took a couple of days because as he fixed one area, another would spring a leak. (Darned aging Polybutylene piping!) Edwin is extremely professional and definitely knows what he is doing. He is honest and friendly and doesn't charge you an arm and a leg like some companies would. We are fortunate to have found him and hope that he stays in business for a long time to come. I am pretty sure we will have to utilize him on a regular basis as the piping slowly fails in our house. (Unless we win the lottery to get all the pipes replaced in one fell swoop! We can hope! :D)"

"They claimed it was a week long job, but then came in and did the work in one day. I paid over $400/hr for the work they did. They claimed to do the work with the proper permits, but they didn.t I was left holding the bag, trying to get the work permitted after they did the work. The work has been sitting there for about a month as I try to get the work inspected and get this nightmare behind me. I am so naive and trusting. Never again. I would never recommend William Parish Plumbing, quite the contrary"

"I contacted and spoke with several plumbers before deciding to move forward with Crossroads Plumbing and Drain. While Crossroads was the least expensive I spoke with, they were also very clear and professional, explaining likely causes of my issue, potential other problems it could be, and the equipment they had to ensure that the job would be completed correctly and verified. I made a great choice! Crossroads, specifically Aaron Franklin, showed up promptly at the time we agreed on. He snaked the line and cleared the blockage, then ran a camera and showed me that the line was clear- it was nice to visually see that the issue was resolved and to know there were no other issues in my drain line. I will be using Crossroads for all my plumbing moving forward. "

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.
