Keep Your Operations Flowing With Expert Sewer Cleaning
Why is cleaning sewer lines critical? Over time, main sewer lines inevitably accumulate buildup from grease, soap scum, waste products, sediment, and even invasive tree roots. Left unaddressed, this buildup restricts flow and eventually leads to complete blockages. The consequences can be severe: unpleasant backups into your property, potential water damage, unsanitary conditions, and violations of health regulations for businesses.
Proactive sewer line cleaning is essential maintenance, not just a reactive fix. CS Mechanical utilizes advanced techniques for effective sewer drain pipe cleaning, removing buildup, and restoring your sewer system’s capacity to prevent these costly and disruptive problems before they start. Don’t wait for a messy backup; ensure your Texas property’s sewer lines are clear and functional.
Sewer Line Cleaning Done Right
How is sewer cleaning done effectively? The best method depends on the nature and severity of the blockage.
CS Mechanical employs state-of-the-art technology and proven techniques:
- High-Pressure Hydro Jetting: This is often considered the best way to clean a main sewer line comprehensively. Hydro jetting uses powerful water streams to purge the entire inner surface of the pipe, obliterating tough grease buildup, cutting through tree roots, and flushing away scale and debris that snaking can leave behind. It’s particularly effective for commercial sewer cleaning, where grease and heavy usage are common factors.
- Mechanical Snaking / Augering: This traditional method uses a rotating cable with specialized heads to break through or retrieve specific obstructions within the sewer line. It can be effective for certain clogs or as a first step before hydro jetting.
- Video Camera Pipe Inspection is essential for accurate diagnosis. Before cleaning, we use waterproof cameras to inspect the line, identify the exact cause and location of the problem (buildup, roots, cracks, collapses), and determine the most effective cleaning approach. We often perform a post-cleaning inspection to verify that the line is thoroughly cleared.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How much does it cost to clean out a sewer line?
The sewer cleaning cost varies based on factors like the length and accessibility of the sewer line, the severity and type of blockage, and the cleaning method required (hydro jetting vs. snaking). Video inspection may also be part of the cost. Commercial lines may differ from residential—contact CS Mechanical for a specific quote based on your situation.
What is the best way to clean a main sewer line?
The “best” way depends on the problem. Hydro jetting is generally the most effective method for thorough cleaning of grease, sludge, scale, and moderate roots, as it cleans the entire pipe wall. Mechanical snaking might be used for specific solid obstructions or retrieving foreign objects. A video inspection beforehand helps determine the optimal approach.
How often should a sewer line be cleaned? / How often should a sewer be cleaned?
There’s no single answer. For residential lines, cleaning might only be needed if problems arise, though preventative cleaning every few years can be beneficial, especially for older homes or those with known root issues. Commercial sewer lines, especially in high-volume businesses like restaurants, require much more frequent cleaning – potentially quarterly, semi-annually, or annually based on usage and grease load. Regular inspections can help determine the right schedule.
How often should commercial drains be cleaned?
This depends heavily on the type of business and drain usage. Restaurant kitchen drains and grease traps may need cleaning weekly or monthly, while floor drains in a retail space might only need annual or semi-annual cleaning. A tailored preventative maintenance plan is usually recommended for commercial properties.
What is a sewer cleaner called?
Professionals who clean sewers are typically licensed Plumbers, Drain Technicians, or Plumbing Technicians specializing in drain and sewer services.
How is sewer cleaning done?
The process usually involves an initial assessment, often with a video camera inspection, to diagnose the problem. Based on the findings, either high-pressure hydro jetting is used to scour the pipes clean, or mechanical snaking/auguring is used to break through or remove specific blockages. A final camera inspection may be done to confirm the line is clear.
