What sewer line cleaning covers
Your main sewer line carries everything from the house out to the city connection. When it clogs, every drain in the house is affected. A plumber clears it with a cable (snaking), with high-pressure water (hydro jetting), or both, and a camera shows what caused the clog.
Signs your main line needs cleaning
- Several drains are slow at the same time.
- Toilets gurgle when a sink or tub drains.
- Water comes up in the shower or tub when a toilet is flushed.
- A sewage smell inside or near the cleanout.
- Water standing at the cleanout in the yard.

| Camera first? | Yes, on cast iron or clay pipe | Usually not |
Backing up now? Do this

- Skip drain chemicals. They won't clear a main line and can hurt old pipe.
- Find the cleanout, usually a capped pipe in the yard near the house.
- Call 555-555-0100.
Common questions
Is sewer line cleaning the same as hydro jetting?
Hydro jetting is one way to clean a sewer line. Snaking is the other common method. Jetting clears the pipe wall; snaking opens a path through the clog.
How do I know it's the main line and not one drain?
If one fixture is slow, the clog is usually close to that drain. If several drains are slow or water backs up where you don't expect it, the main line is the likely cause.
Should I ask for a camera inspection?
Yes. A camera shows what caused the clog and whether the pipe is cracked, sagging or full of roots, which tells you whether cleaning alone will fix it.
Will cleaning fix a broken pipe?
No. Cleaning clears what's inside the pipe. If the pipe itself is cracked or collapsed, ask about repair options.
