Main sewer line maintenance is preventive work that keeps the line clear, intact, and flowing — usually a scheduled camera inspection every 2–3 years plus a hydro-jetting cleaning every 3–5 years for older homes or homes with mature trees. Maintenance also includes installing a sewer cleanout if there isn’t one already.
What sewer maintenance includes
- Camera inspection every 2–3 years
- Hydro jetting every 3–5 years (more often for grease or roots)
- Installation of an accessible sewer cleanout
- Tree-root management at known intrusion points
- Documenting line condition for future buyers or repairs
Maintenance is dramatically cheaper than emergency sewer repair. See our full drain and sewer services menu, or schedule an inspection through plumbing inspections.
