How long does a typical sewer line last?

Most sewer lines last between 50 and 100 years , though materials like clay or cast iron, common in older Cleveland suburbs, may require more frequent maintenance.

Can tree roots actually destroy my sewer line?

Yes, roots are drawn to the moisture in sewer pipes and can expand small cracks until the pipe collapses or becomes completely blocked.

What is the Neighborly Done Right Promise®?

This is our commitment to you; if your residential sewer cleaning isn't done right, we promise to make it right.

Do you offer financing for major sewer repairs?

Yes. We understand that sewer issues can be an unexpected expense, so we offer financing options to help make necessary repairs more manageable.

How do I know if I need a repair or just a cleaning?

A professional plumbing inspection is the only way to tell if a blockage can be cleared with cleaning or if the pipe has structural damage requiring repair.

What is the difference between traditional excavation and trenchless repair?

Traditional excavation involves digging up your yard , while trenchless methods allow us to fix or reline pipes with minimal disruption to your landscape.

Why does my toilet gurgle when I run the shower?

This usually indicates a clog in the main sewer line that is forcing air back through the system.

Is hydro jetting better than traditional snaking?

It depends on the severity of the clog. While snaking punches a hole through a clog, hydro jetting uses high-pressure water to scrub the pipe walls clean of grease and roots.

What causes sewer smells inside the basement?

Sewer smells can result from a dried-out floor drain trap or a crack in the sewer line that is allowing gases to escape into your home.
