Ensure a trouble-free sewer system with a properly installed sewer cleanout — simplifying maintenance, preventing interior backups, and providing convenient exterior access.
In older homes, the absence of a sewer cleanout is surprisingly common — and it causes real problems when maintenance or emergency service is needed. Without a cleanout, plumbers must access your sewer line from inside the house, often requiring toilet removal or other disruptive measures.
A properly installed exterior sewer cleanout solves this permanently, giving any plumber direct, convenient access to your main sewer line — and enabling the installation of backwater overflow prevention devices.
A cleanout with a backwater valve can direct sewer backups outside your home instead of flooding your bathroom or basement.
Exterior access means faster, simpler, and less expensive service calls for any future maintenance, inspection, or repair.
A cleanout makes it possible to run a sewer camera quickly and non-invasively — essential for point-of-sale compliance in many districts.
Modern plumbing codes require cleanouts. Adding one to an older home brings your sewer system up to current standards.
