### Sewer Line Maintenance and Repair
Sewage cleanup services are essential for maintaining the health and safety of your property. Regular maintenance and repair of your sewer lines can prevent costly problems down the road.
**Sewer Line Inspection:** A thorough inspection of your sewer lines can identify potential issues before they cause major problems. This involves using video cameras to examine the interior of the pipes for cracks, blockages, or damage.
**Sewer Line Cleaning:** Over time, buildup of grease, hair, and other debris can clog your sewer lines. Professional cleaning services use high-pressure water jets or specialized chemicals to remove blockages and restore proper flow.
**Sewer Line Repair:** If your sewer lines are damaged, prompt repair is crucial. Methods of repair may include trenchless technology, which involves inserting a liner into the damaged pipe, or excavation and replacement of the pipe.
### How to Remove a Sewer Cleanout

* **Locate the Cleanout:** It is usually a small capped opening in the ground or wall.
* **Unscrew the Cap:** Use a wrench or pliers to carefully loosen and remove the cap.
* **Insert Cleaning Tool:** Push a drain snake or auger into the cleanout opening to clear any blockages.
