How to Unclog a Main Sewer Line

Clogged sewer lines can be a major inconvenience and a potential health hazard. Here’s a step-by-step guide to clearing a clogged main sewer line:

Identification

* Check for signs: Multiple drains backing up simultaneously, foul odors, and slow draining are indicative of a clogged main sewer line.
* Isolate the clog: Determine if the clog is isolated to one drain or extends throughout the house by running water in different fixtures.

Manual Methods

* Snake: Insert a drain snake into the main sewer cleanout and attempt to dislodge the clog.
* Plunger: Place a plunger over the main sewer cleanout and forcefully pump to create pressure and push the clog down the line.

Chemical Solutions

* Commercial cleaners: Use commercially available drain cleaners according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
* Baking soda and vinegar: Pour 1/2 cup of baking soda down the drain, followed by 1/2 cup of white vinegar. Allow the mixture to sit for at least 30 minutes before flushing with hot water.

Emergency Situations

* Contact a professional: If the clog cannot be cleared using manual or chemical methods, contact a licensed Sewage Cleanup Service professional for immediate assistance.
