How to Remove a Sewer Cleanout

A sewer cleanout is a small access point in your sewer line that allows for cleaning and maintenance. Removing a sewer cleanout can be challenging, but it can be done with the right tools and knowledge.

To remove a sewer cleanout, follow these steps:

1. Locate the sewer cleanout. It is typically located outside your home, in the ground near the foundation.
2. Remove the cap from the cleanout. This may require using a wrench or other tool.
3. Use a plumbing snake or other tool to clear any blockages in the cleanout.
4. Once the blockage is cleared, reinstall the cap on the cleanout.

If you are unable to remove the sewer cleanout yourself, it is best to contact a professional Sewage Cleanup Service. They have the necessary tools and experience to safely and effectively remove the cleanout and clear any blockages.
