"ZERO STARS! I can’t believe the rating on here. 1.9 on Google is way more accurate. Unfortunately, AHS assigned this company to my service request on Aug. 3rd. They came out on the 6th and after 3min here, they said they were going to send the report to AHS. 48 hours later AHS was still waiting on report. After almost 72 hours, they finally sent it and it was partially approved. The out of pocket was $475. I called them to see what the charges were for, and that was the only time they quickly answered my call and the last. I accepted the charges and they said they would call me to schedule an appointment once the parts arrived. 2 weeks later and nothing. I called and left a voicemail. Nothing. On Aug 26, AHS said the system shows the part as “delivered at shop” on Aug 22 and they had to confirm with tech but would call me back as soon as they did. I called AHS every day from the 26 to the 30th only to be told the same thing. Today, still no hot water and no return call from this comp"

"Terrible experience. Did not warranty their work. Their ?repair? started leaking again not more than 2 weeks later. Also turned down water pressure from 50 to 30 when they said they turned up to 74. They also looked at our tankless and tried to charge more than what they quoted to swap it out with a warranty replacement after breaking a part and not finding the real problem until the second tech came out. Sent 3 different techs and each were nice but on the quality of work and charge not acceptable. $2k for a pinhole leak repair, diagnostic fee, and swap out of tankless. Hire at your own risk"

We specialize in working on older homes and those problems that require unique solutions. We offer full service residential plumbing services to customers looking for "long-term" and "efficient" solutions. We work on the following plumbing items - toilets, sinks, water heaters, tankless water heaters, sump pumps, water softeners, faucets, garbage disposals, drains, gas lines, clogged drains, water lines, main lines, and all other non-listed residential plumbing needs.

"I hired Hope Plumming to replace my sewer line, after my old clay sewer line collapsed. It happened 2 days before Christmas, and Hope, was super responsive and helpful to get the job done, as there were some challenges, due to winter with extenuating weather circumstances. They went above and beyond helping to keep my neighbors updated as my line required use of a mutually shared alley. Since then they have also installed a new water heater and water softener. As a repeat customer I would definitely recommend the team at Hope!"

"It was great, and we are so happy with our new addition! It took about a year from hiring them to completion, longer than I hoped but it was worth the wait. There were a few minor bumps along the way, but the crew resolved each issue promptly. The crew leader Saul was so helpful and knowledgeable, answering our many questions and making sure the final product was exactly what we wanted.

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.
