Ask a Reading Plumbing Expert: What’s a Drain and Sewer Clean-Out?

Clean-Outs Allow for Easy Access to Sewer Line for Maintenance and Repairs

As a homeowner, you probably understand the importance of sewer line maintenance. Without it, you can be in for some serious pipe blockages down the line.

What you may not know, however, is a way to make that maintenance so much easier. With the use of a clean-out, checking up on your line is possible without any excavation work.

A clean-out is the part of a pipe that connects to a riser tube to allow for an easily accessible ground level opening. Besides the obvious convenience of a dig-free maintenance visit, you will also enjoy many other benefits of a properly installed clean-out.

Advantages of Having a Clean-Out

  1. No guess work: Because we will know exactly where the source of the problem is with the help of a clean-out, we won’t have to move around all sorts of fixtures to get to the source of the troubles.
  2. All clogs are accessible: The clean-out prevents clogs from getting buried too deep, so our team of plumbers will always be able to access the backed up area with ease.
  3. Location, location, location: Knowing where your sewer line runs is so important! How will you know if something is wrong with the line if you can’t find it? A clean-out will help you always know where the line is.
  4. Cost-effective: The more clean-outs you have installed, the less money you’ll spend on the repair job.
  5. Flood prevention: You can activate the clean-out during heavy rainfall or when snow begins to melt to prevent flooding in your basement.
  6. Allow for visual inspections: With a clean-out, we can come in and check on all of your fixtures easily. This helps because you’ll know ahead of time if there are any potential problems with your drains.
