Sewer Cleanouts

“How can plumbers clean and inspect the pipe connecting homes to municipal sewers?”

               Lateral sewer lines connecting homes to municipal sewers become clogged from time to time. If this is not addressed, the clogging can develop into blockages and long-term damage to the piping infrastructure. So how can we use our engineering mindset to quickly clean the home piping without ripping out the existing piping and landscaping systems? Well, what if we were to install a vertical pipe on top of the lateral sewer line with an unlockable surface opening? These services, called Sewer Cleanouts, allow licensed plumbers to inspect and clean home pipes. Sewer cleanouts often appear as white capped pipes sticking up from the ground.
