"We are in the midst of a basement remodel of our 1920 home, which required substantial updating to our plumbing. Greens has provided us with outstanding service and recommendations throughout the entire process. Jerry Kobza was an exceptional manager and helped keep our project on task. He went beyond the call of duty to coordinate with Green's HVAC group while always being available to answer questions. And our plumber Duane was just simply fantastic. He was timely, hard-working, and most important, incredibly knowledgeable. In the end, Duane made our project even better than what we had originally expected. If you are ever in need of a quality plumber, I'd highly recommend Duane and Greens."

"BEWARE, RECORD YOUR INTERACTIONS WITH THESE PEOPLE, they are completely dishonest. I had a sewer backup in my laundry room overnight and called Roto-Rooter to come and give me an estimate on what was wrong, no estimate, the technician got started right away. He went in with the machine and pulled back a small amount of roots from my line. He then put a scope down the line the entire length to the city main, I watched the entire time and verified the line was open, flowing and in-tact. He then decided to have another pass at it and after about 20 minutes of struggling with his equipment, he pulled back a snapped cable, sent the scope back down and came across a majorly damaged section of clay tile pipe with total blockage. I realize I live in an older home, the technician said however, the pipe was in decent condition. He quickly packed up and presented me with a $500 fee and to sign waiver of all responsibility for damage. I questioned what had just happened and he immediately got defensive and aggressive. INCREDIBLY unprofessional. The owner, Mark was no help either. I thought he may work with me on a resolution but he blindly stands by his staff, apparently condoning their intimidation tactics. I was threatened with a lien on my home and now am awaiting a bill for $500, my sewer line is still backing up and now get to to figure out a solution to the $7500 in damage. Beware, this company does not stand by it's customers, or try to come to a resolution, I was gaslit and received nothing but defense of his technician with no substantive resolution."

In most states, companies that perform sewer cleaning services don’t need specific licensing, but you should always ensure you hire a licensed and certified plumber to get the work done. You can use our state licensing tool to check whether the potential sewer cleaning company holds a plumber’s certification and license. Hiring a certified sewer cleaning services guarantees that the work will be done safely, there won’t be additional damage done to your home, and the problem will be fixed.
The average cost to snake your main sewer line is around $250 for a simple snake. Most sewer line specialists charge between $45 and $200 per hour for main sewer line snaking, so the time involved plays a major role. The price you’ll pay will depend on the severity of the clog, the item causing the backup, how long it takes to remove the item, and more. A more severe issue that requires unclogging a main sewer line will cost $3,100 on average.
There are a few signs of a clog in your main sewer line that you should keep in mind.
Common signs of a sewer line clog:
Multiple fixtures in your home drain slowly
Drains in your home gurgle during or after draining
Water backs up into your sewer line cleanout
You notice foul odors in your home
The best way to confirm that your main sewer line is clogged is to hire a professional plumber to assess the situation and use a camera to inspect the inside.
In most cases, drain cleaners will not clear a clogged sewer line, and they’re likely to damage your plumbing. Sewer lines are several inches wide, meaning any material that clogs it will need to be large. Drain cleaner can work on small clogs, but it usually won’t clear a larger one in a sewer main. Drain cleaners can also easily damage and corrode your plumbing with prolonged contact, and a clog will keep the cleaner in contact with the pipes for an extended period. Hire a professional sewer cleaner instead for a safe fix.
You should not attempt to snake your sewer yourself. Accessing and snaking your sewer requires heavy-duty equipment, and while renting is possible, misusing it can damage your sewer main and leave you with very expensive repair costs, not to mention potential environmental issues and severe water damage. Accessing your sewer also exposes you to hazardous sewer gasses, and failing to seal the sewer properly after work can be very dangerous. It’s always best to hire a professional sewer cleaner near you to handle this type of work.
