Main Sewer Line

Main Sewer Line Cleaning in Howard Lake & West Metro

Main sewer line cleaning clears the single pipe that carries all of your home's or building's wastewater to the city sewer or septic system. When multiple drains back up at once, or sewage comes up through a floor drain, the main line is almost always the problem. Drain Pros clears clogged main lines right away, 24/7.

FAQ

Main Sewer Line FAQs

How do I know if the clog is in my main sewer line?

If more than one fixture is affected, especially the lowest drains in the building, the clog is likely in the main line. A single slow sink usually points to that fixture's branch line instead.

What causes main sewer line clogs?

Common causes include tree roots, grease, wipes and other non-flushable items, and sagging or damaged pipe. A camera inspection can confirm the cause.

Should I stop using water if my main line is backing up?

Yes. Stop running water, flushing toilets, and using the washer or dishwasher until the line is cleared to avoid more sewage backing into the building. Then call us.
