Professional Sewage Cleanup Services for Sewer Line Maintenance and Repair

Maintaining and repairing sewer lines is crucial for any property, ensuring proper wastewater removal and preventing potential health hazards. Among these essential services, sewer cleanout removal plays a significant role in maintaining the functionality of your sewer system.

Why Sewer Cleanouts are Installed

Sewer cleanouts are access points installed along sewer lines, providing an entry point for maintenance, inspection, and cleaning. They enable plumbers to access the line without excavating the ground, making it easier and more cost-effective.

How to Remove a Sewer Cleanout

Removing a sewer cleanout requires specialized expertise and equipment. Typically, the following steps are involved:

1. Locate the cleanout cap and remove it using a cleanout wrench.
2. Use a cleanout plug or a threaded cap to seal the cleanout opening temporarily.
3. Excavate the area around the cleanout carefully to expose the pipe and cleanout tee.
4. Cut the cleanout tee from the pipe using a reciprocating saw or a hacksaw.
5. Clean the cut ends of the pipe and install a new cleanout tee.
6. Reconnect the pipe sections and seal the joints securely.
7. Replace the cleanout cap and ensure a tight seal.

It’s important to note that the process of removing a sewer cleanout should be performed by a licensed plumber to ensure safety and proper installation.
