Comprehensive Guide to Sewer Cleaning in LA
No one wants to talk about sewer lines. Whether they’re discussing the quality of the lines in their private home or their business, this isn’t something they want to talk about over a cup of coffee or a meal. The only time anyone wants to talk about it is when they’re in a crisis. When things are backing up and their toilet contents are spilling onto their bathroom floor, that’s when the personal becomes public. That’s when we at Boss Plumbing get the panicked callers pleading with us to come out and rescue them from the smelly mess that has become their home.
But it doesn’t have to be this way. Most sewer backups can be prevented. Whether they occur in your home or commercial space, they often give you warning signs before they erupt. It’s up to you to be vigilant and watch for the signs.
How do I know if I need a sewer cleaning?
Has the water been draining increasingly slowly after taking baths and showers? Is it taking longer for your toilets to flush? These are all reasonable indications that your water is not correctly emptying itself down your sewer pipes.
When you flush the toilet, does the waste and toilet water overflow, even if very little toilet paper was used? This is a strong indication that sewer cleaning is needed.
Are you noticing a strong sewer smell coming from your drains? One of the reasons for this may be an accumulation of debris that needs to be cleaned out.
Have you noticed leaks, seepage, or cracks in the basement walls or on the floor? This is a vital sign that sewage has backed up and is now moving through cracks in the walls.
Sewer Cleaning Using Hydro Jetting
One of the most effective tools in Boss Plumbing’s cleaning arsenal is hydro jetting. It is an industry-wide accepted method to remove clogs and safely open sewer drain lines. The following steps are how it is used:
- Water is released at high pressure into your sewer lines – using specialized nozzles.
- Specialty nozzles help remove and clear hair, silt, sand, scale, debris, grease, food buildup, tree roots, and more.
- The sewer jet can thoroughly clean and descale your pipes and remove buildup on pipe walls.
90% of sewer lines and drains are cleaned using the hydro jet method. At Boss Plumbing, our hydro-jetting service is so effective that even the most relentless blockages can be cleared.
Sewer Cleaning Using Electro-Mechanical Equipment
At Boss Plumbing, we use highly specialized electro-mechanical drain cleaning equipment to clear blockages if hydro jetting is not feasible. This may be because accessing the location or the type of obstruction causing the location is very difficult.
Using a flexible steel cable with interchangeable rotating blades, our plumbers cut away blockages caused by the buildup of debris or scale. Everything from water scale built-up in the drain and pipework that cannot be reached to tree roots is removed using this type of approach. Once dislodged, we then use the hydro jet to flush out the debris and clean the drainage system.

Our Residential Drain Cleaning Service
The usual suspects in residential drain backups are tree roots, waste, food, hair, feminine products, and old, compromised deteriorating pipes – or a combination of these.
Suppose a buildup is not removed from the sewer drain pipes quickly. In that case, broader, more costly, and damaging issues will occur, such as the likelihood of replacing sewer drain lines sooner than anticipated. At Boss Plumbing, our plumbers can provide the residential plumbing services you require to keep your whole drainage system working at optimal capacity.
