Sewer Cleanout Repair

The sewer cleanout is the capped pipe, usually near the foundation or in a side yard, that gives a plumber a straight path into the main line. In Meridian, ID cleanouts get buried by landscaping, cracked by mowers, or lose their caps and fill with dirt. A damaged cleanout slows every clog call.

Typical cleanout work
Work may include finding a buried cleanout with a locator, replacing a cracked riser or cap, raising a cleanout to grade, adding a two-way cleanout near the house, and running water through to confirm flow.

Repair or replace?
A broken cap is a small fix; a cracked or missing riser may need replacing. The cleanout is on the owner's side, so ask the plumber to explain the choice first.

Ask about cleanout repair and say where the cleanout is, if you know, and what is damaged.
