Neglecting sewer line maintenance can lead to unexpected breakdowns, costly repairs, and potential health hazards. Regular maintenance helps to prevent these issues by:
A sewer cleanout is a capped opening that provides access to your sewer line for maintenance and repair. Removing a sewer cleanout can be necessary to inspect or clear blockages.
Step 1: Locate the Sewer Cleanout
Typically located outside your home, sewer cleanouts are usually near the foundation or in a utility box.
Step 2: Remove the Cap
Using a wrench or pipe wrench, carefully unscrew the cap from the cleanout.
Step 3: Insert a Cleanout Auger or Snake
Insert the auger or snake into the cleanout opening and slowly advance it into the sewer line, rotating it to break up blockages.
Step 4: Remove Blockages
Continue rotating and advancing the auger or snake until you feel resistance or the blockage is cleared. Remove any debris that comes out on the tool.
Step 5: Replace the Cap
Once the blockage is removed, hand-tighten the cap back onto the cleanout opening.
