How do you remove a sewer cleanout?
A sewer cleanout is an access point to the sewer line that allows for inspection, cleaning, and repairs. Removing a sewer cleanout requires certain expertise and safety precautions:
- Locate the cleanout: Cleanouts are typically located near building foundations or in accessible areas outside the home.
- Uncover the cleanout: Use a shovel to remove any dirt or debris covering the cleanout cap.
- Remove the cap: Use a wrench or pliers to carefully unscrew the cap, releasing any pressure buildup.
- Clean the cleanout: Insert a hose or auger to remove any debris or blockages from the sewer line.
- Replace the cap: After cleaning, tighten the cap securely to prevent any leaks or odors.
If you encounter any difficulties or notice significant issues, it’s recommended to contact a professional sewage cleanup service for assistance.
