How much does it cost to clean a Cincinnati main sewer line?

A clogged main sewer line is one of the most disruptive plumbing problems a homeowner can face. When wastewater can’t move through a home’s plumbing system properly, it can lead to slow drains, sewage backups, and unpleasant odors.

Across the country, most residential sewer cleanings typically fall somewhere between $200 and $800, depending on the severity of the clog and the equipment needed to remove it. More complex blockages or deeper pipe issues can push costs higher.

Below is a look at common sewer cleaning methods and how our pricing compares to national averages.

At Allied Reddi-Rooter, we work hard to keep our Cincinnati main sewer line cleaning cost low. Sewer issues are stressful enough - you shouldn’t have to worry about high plumbing repair bill, too.

Before clearing a main drain, plumbers often use a small camera to inspect the sewer line and locate the exact source of the clog. Nationally, sewer main video inspections typically cost between $200 and $400, depending on the company and the complexity of the inspection.

At Allied Reddi-Rooter, a sewer main video inspection is $250, putting it not just within the national range, but toward the more affordable end for a professional diagnostic service.

Auger (Snake) Sewer Cleaning

Auger cleaning, sometimes called snaking, is the most common method used to remove blockages caused by grease, debris, and smaller root intrusions.

Across the country, auger sewer cleaning usually ranges between $300 and $500. Our auger sewer cleaning service is $390, right in the middle of that range and a strong value for a thorough, professional cleaning.

Hydro Jet Sewer Cleaning

For tougher blockages or recurring issues, plumbers may recommend hydro jetting. This method uses high-pressure water to thoroughly clean the inside of the sewer pipe and remove grease, sludge, scale, and tree roots.

Hydro jet sewer cleaning typically costs around $1,000 and can reach $1,400 or more depending on the severity of the blockage and the condition of the pipe.

Our hydro jet cleaning is $900, which comes in below many national averages while still delivering a deep, long-lasting clean.
