Main Sewer Line Cleaning in Maricopa, AZ

When every drain in the house is slow, or sewage comes up in the shower, the main line is blocked. We clear it from the cleanout to the street connection.

Main Line Backups Need Immediate Attention

Every drain in your home connects to one pipe, the main sewer line. It runs under the slab and the front yard to the public sewer in the street. When that pipe is blocked, waste water has nowhere to go and comes back up through the lowest drains in the house, usually a shower, tub or floor drain.

Main line cleaning is done through the cleanout, a capped pipe found near the front of most Maricopa homes. A heavy-duty sewer machine runs a cable with a cutting head through the full length of the line. Where grease, sludge or scale is the cause, we follow up with hydro jetting to wash the pipe clean.

What Causes Sewer Line Clogs in Maricopa?

Maricopa is a young city, so the tree root problems that plague older Phoenix neighborhoods are less common here. Instead, we see:

  • Bellied lines. Soil settling can leave a sag in the pipe that holds water and solids.
  • Wipes and paper. These collect at any rough spot or low point.
  • Grease. Kitchen grease travels to the main and hardens there.
  • Construction debris. Material left in the pipe during the build.
  • Landscape roots. As yards mature, roots from trees planted near the line can find pipe joints.

In general, the homeowner is responsible for the sewer line from the house to the connection at the public main. If the blockage turns out to be in the public sewer, your sewer utility should be notified. A sewer camera inspection shows exactly where the problem is.

Main Sewer Line Cleaning FAQs

In most Maricopa homes it is in the front yard, within a few feet of the house, often in a landscape bed. Look for a round white or black cap three to four inches across. Some homes have two caps side by side.

Typical Phoenix-area prices range from about $250 to $900, depending on access, the length of the line and the method used. We give you the price before work begins.

No. Any water you send down a drain will come back up at the lowest point in the house. Stop using water until the line is cleared.

A healthy line does not need routine cleaning. If you have a known belly or recurring clogs, cleaning every one to two years can prevent backups.
