Benefits of Sewer Line Cleaning in Sacramento
Regular professional sewer cleaning delivers significant advantages for Sacramento homeowners:
- Prevents Backups and Overflows: Regular cleaning removes buildup before it creates complete blockages that force sewage back into your home.
- Eliminates Unpleasant Odors: Professional cleaning removes sources of sewer gas that can permeate your home and yard.
- Protects Your Property: Preventative maintenance avoids sewage overflows that damage floors, walls, and belongings while creating unsanitary conditions.
- Reduces Emergency Calls: Scheduled maintenance prevents middle-of-the-night emergencies and weekend service calls that disrupt your life.
- Extends System Lifespan: Regular cleaning reduces stress on pipes and connections, potentially adding years to your sewer system’s functional life.

Call (916) 641-0886Our Sacramento Sewer Cleaning Process
When you schedule sewer cleaning with Armstrong Plumbing, our systematic approach ensures comprehensive results:
- Initial Assessment Our technicians begin by discussing your specific symptoms and concerns. We’ll ask about your property’s age, previous sewer issues, and any recent changes in drainage patterns. This information helps us identify likely problem areas before beginning work.
- Video Inspection In many cases, we recommend starting with a detailed sewer camera inspection. This technology allows us to:
- Visually identify the exact location and nature of blockages
- Assess pipe condition for damage, cracks, or deterioration
- Locate any tree root intrusions or structural problems
- Create a precise plan for addressing specific issues
- Professional Cleaning Methods Based on our findings, we implement the appropriate cleaning technique:
- High-pressure hydro jetting that scours pipe walls clean
- Mechanical clearing for removing solid obstructions
- Specialized root cutting attachments for tree root intrusion
- Targeted treatments for specific blockage types
- Verification and Recommendations After completing the cleaning process, we typically perform a follow-up camera inspection to verify results and identify any underlying issues requiring additional attention. We’ll provide recommendations for maintenance schedules and preventative measures tailored to your Sacramento property’s specific needs.
This comprehensive approach ensures your sewer line is completely cleared while addressing potential future concerns.
How to Prevent a Clogged Sewer Line in Sacramento
Proactive measures can significantly reduce your risk of experiencing sewer line problems in your Sacramento home:
- Schedule Regular Maintenance: Professional sewer cleaning every 18-24 months removes buildup before it creates blockages. Properties with mature trees or historical sewer issues benefit from more frequent service.
- Watch What Goes Down Drains: Avoid disposing of grease, oils, coffee grounds, fibrous foods, and non-flushable items through your plumbing system. These materials commonly create sewer blockages.
- Install Drain Screens: Simple drain strainers in showers, tubs, and sinks catch hair and debris before it enters your plumbing system.
- Consider Root Barriers: If your Sacramento property has trees near the sewer line, professional root barriers can prevent intrusion that commonly causes serious blockages.
- Address Minor Issues Promptly: When you notice slow drains or unusual sounds, early professional intervention prevents small problems from developing into major backups.
Armstrong Plumbing can help develop a customized maintenance plan that protects your Sacramento home’s sewer system while minimizing the risk of disruptive and expensive emergency situations.

Book OnlineFAQS
We recommend professional sewer cleaning every 18-24 months for most Sacramento homes. Properties with mature trees near sewer lines, older clay pipes, or history of blockages benefit from annual service. Regular maintenance prevents emergency backups while extending system lifespan and identifying potential issues before they cause property damage.
Your sewer clean out is typically located outside your home where the main sewer line exits the foundation. Look for a capped pipe, usually 3-4 inches in diameter, often near the property’s perimeter. In Sacramento homes, it’s commonly found along the property line facing the street or in back/side yards.
Chemical drain cleaners like Drano aren’t effective for main sewer line clogs. These products rarely reach the actual blockage point in your main line, and their caustic nature can damage pipes with repeated use. Professional sewer cleaning uses specialized equipment that physically removes obstructions without harming your plumbing system.
Multiple slow drains, gurgling toilets, sewage odors, water backing up in fixtures, wet spots in your yard, or unusually green patches of grass along your sewer line path indicate potential blockages. These symptoms warrant professional attention before they progress to complete backups or property damage.
We employ high-pressure hydro jetting that scours pipe walls clean, mechanical snaking with specialized attachments for various blockage types, and video camera inspection to identify specific issues. Our technicians select the appropriate method based on your system’s condition and the nature of the blockage.
Modern sewer cleaning is minimally invasive. We access your system through existing clean-outs without excavation in most cases. The process typically takes 1-3 hours depending on blockage severity, with minimal noise or disruption to your home. We protect your property throughout the service process.
Absolutely. Regular professional cleaning removes buildup before it creates complete blockages, identifies developing problems early, extends system lifespan, prevents property damage from backups, and reduces emergency service needs. It’s significantly more economical than addressing emergency situations after they develop.
