A Drainage Minute: What’s So Good About a Sewer Cleanout?
3 Reasons You Should Have a Sewer Cleanout
When you call Reid & Pederson Drainage, one of the first questions we’ll ask—after “What’s going on?”—is: “Do you have an accessible cleanout?”
This matters because a sewer cleanout access allows for the most thorough and effective sewer rodding possible. With bigger access, we can use larger cutting blades to clear more roots, scale, and debris—faster, safer, and with less mess.
Here’s why that simple fitting can mean better cleaning, lower costs, and longer-lasting results.
1) Bigger Access = Better Cleaning
A cleanout in your yard or basement allows our technicians to use a 4-inch cutting blade, which clears more roots, scale, and debris from your sewer line, ultimately allowing us to do a more complete sewer cleaning.
But if your sewer has to be accessed through a roof stack, crawl space, or pulled toilet, the largest cutter we can use is only 3 inches—leaving behind more buildup along the pipe walls.
2) Cost Savings & Efficiency
Beyond the cleaning quality, jobs that require riskier or more labor-intensive access often require a second technician, increasing costs. Having a proper cleanout installed not only saves money on service calls but also ensures a superior, longer-lasting sewer cleaning.
3) A Smart Investment
Installing a cleanout pays for itself quickly—in both cost savings and peace of mind. If you don’t have one yet, it’s worth considering!
