The best place to clean a sewer line is either from a front clean out of an outside clean out. The reason being is that you want to work from the closest clean out possible to the clog. As for an outside clean out, it’s nice because the mess stays outside and all the equipment can be kept outside as well.

There are several reasons why sanitary main sewer lines get clogged up and end up backing your basement up. Tree roots end up breaking through your pipe and grow towards the water flow. Once root intrusion gets inside your pipe and starts growing you must keep up with maintenance cleanings or that root will further break and end up destroying your sewer pipe. Don’t be one of those tat need excavation on a broken sewer line cause you’ve neglected cleaning your line.
