Sewer Line Maintenance and Repair

Maintaining and repairing sewer lines are essential for the proper functioning of a plumbing system. Sewer lines carry wastewater away from homes and businesses, and regular maintenance can help prevent clogs, leaks, and other problems.

How do You Remove a Sewer Cleanout?

A sewer cleanout is a small access point located on a sewer line. It is used to provide access to the line for cleaning or repairs. To remove a sewer cleanout, follow these steps:

  • Locate the cleanout. It will typically be located in a basement or utility room.
  • Unscrew the cap. The cap is usually made of plastic or metal and will be hand-tightened.
  • Remove the plug. The plug is usually made of rubber or plastic and will be inserted into the cleanout opening.
  • Clean the cleanout. Use a snake or auger to remove any debris from the line.
