How much does it cost to have the drain and sewer cleaned in Fort Lauderdale?

On average, the cost can range from $150 to $500. Simple clogs that require snaking or hydro jetting may fall on the lower end of the range, while more complex clogs or extensive sewer line cleaning may be on the higher end. Additional costs may apply if there are damaged pipes or the need for camera inspections. To get an accurate cost estimate, it's advisable to contact local plumbing professionals who can assess the situation and provide a detailed quote.

How do I know if my main sewer line is clogged in Fort Lauderdale?

There are several signs that can indicate a clogged main sewer line. First, multiple drains in your home may be slow to empty or completely backed up. You might also notice gurgling sounds coming from drains or toilets when using water elsewhere in the house. Unpleasant odors, especially near drains or in the basement, can also be a sign. Additionally, if you experience frequent toilet backups or water backups in the lowest drains of your home, it could indicate a clog in the main sewer line. If you suspect a clog, it's best to contact a professional plumber to perform an inspection and provide appropriate solutions.

Upon arrival, the customer escorted us to the bathroom, where we observed that the toilet was non-functional—it would not flush properly, and the bowl would fill excessively with water. Following our assessment, we informed the customer that the issue did not appear to be related to the main sewer line, but was isolated to the toilet itself. We recommended the use of a hand auger to mechanically clear the obstruction. The customer consented to the procedure. We proceeded to auger the toilet and successfully dislodged a blockage composed primarily of excess toilet paper. Following the clearing, we conducted multiple flush tests and ran the adjacent shower to ensure there were no underlying drainage concerns elsewhere in the system. All fixtures drained as intended, and functionality was fully restored. We advised the customer that, due to the unpredictable nature and potential recurrence of internal obstructions, no warranty can be provided for the blockage clearing service.

Service Description: We arrived at the property and found the drain line backed up again. The homeowner stated that we had previously left the clean-out caps off, which may have contributed to the issue. Work Performed: • We cleared the drain line as a courtesy, considering the homeowner’s concern about the open clean-out caps. • After clearing the line, we confirmed proper flow and no immediate signs of blockage. Findings & Recommendations: • We advised the homeowner that the issue will continue to occur unless the previously quoted repair is completed. • We made it clear that no further courtesy clearings or warranty coverage will be provided on salvageable components if the recommended repair is not performed. • There are no new recommendations at this time beyond moving forward with the estimate that was already provided. ⸻ Let me know if you’d like a matching quote draft or to include the original estimate details again.

During my inspection of the three separate fireplaces, I came to the determination that the first fireplace on outside patio downstairs is the regulator for the unit. I tested first the outlet of the regulator and it had no gas. I reconnected lines and then checked the inlet coming straight out of the valve and it did have gas.. Second fireplace upstairs on patio balcony has same issue no gas on the exit side of the regulator, but it has gas going into the regulator. The fireplace in the living room downstairs has good gas pressure. I bled lines to make sure everything was working properly, but it does not have any spark when you try to light it. I informed customer to possibly call the service technician for this particular unit. I am going to provide an estimate for two regulators for each outside fireplace one upstairs and one downstairs. Also, upon customer request, I’m going to provide a 1 inch check valve replacement located in the garage water heater due to potential leaks from

Upon arrival to the location, I knocked on door and was let in by Erica who’s Michael’s assistant. Michael is out of town currently. She took me to the kitchen where I noticed he had a leak in the past and was drying it out. Erica explained the dishwasher was leaking for a while and he wasn’t in town. I asked Erica if she knew where the main valve to the home is located. After locating the main valve, I noticed it was already off. I then called Michael after I built an option for him to get new emergency shut off valves replaced under the kitchen sink. There are 4 valves, which all look original to the home, Michael had a neighbor help him with the leak and recommended he replace the valves to be able to isolate each fixture they feed. Furthermore, I called Michael on a recorded line and he approved the estimate. Hence, after I made the necessary repairs, I turned the water back on to the home and left the dishwasher line off as it’s disconnected at the moment. In conclusion, I checked

Upon arrival to the location, we meet with Luciano who meet us at the front desk and took us to the garage where the clean outs were located. He mentioned it’s been like this forever but now they want to take care of it. I asked if this was something he wanted to do today, he stated not today but I could follow up tomorrow. I explained what the job would consist of which would be breaking the concrete to gain access to the pipe. We’ll have to block off that section until concrete dries. We agreed having the clean out flush to the ground would make the most sense. In conclusion, I will follow up tomorrow.

His whole home filtration system is also over a year old so he inquired about a filter cartridge change.

Upon arrival, we replaced the unit due to a pre-sold estimate involving an old, outdated 6500-watt water heater, which is no longer manufactured. We installed a new Rheem 4500-watt water heater and included the applicable permit fee. During the installation, we had to re-pipe the condensate line from the AC and relocate the main shut-off valve to the heater, as it was originally positioned next to the back wall and was not easily accessible. We contacted the customer to inform them that their current setup includes a double pole 40-amp breaker, which is not compatible with the new unit. A double pole 25-amp breaker must be installed to properly accommodate the new 4500-watt water heater, and the existing wiring must also be downsized. The customer understood and stated they will take care of the necessary electrical modifications upon their return. As a result, the switch box was not installed and has been excluded from the invoice until the electrical work is completed by a licensed

Customer called because drain in newly remodeled shower is loud when water is falling into pipe from linear drain. When I arrived and inspected it customer had rigged a mesh tape piece and had it over the strainer inside the linear that was causing a backup and preventing water to drain. When he removed it while I was onsite water drained perfectly fine and customer stated he’ll just live with the sound in which i mentioned it not being that bad of a sound.

Customer scheduled the replacement of main valve to heater. Replacement required a building shutdown. Shutdown was properly scheduled by Tracey because there was a notice on the customers doors. After 1 hour wait for building shutdown, I properly removed leaking gate valve and replaced with 3/4 ball valve. I reconnected heater supply and tested for leaks. No leaks. Customer very satisfied. Customer brother is main contact for century maintenance and construction contact for Century Village. He is interested in making John the plumber the preferred plumber for century village. Sent business contact to him. Also customer neighbor is a major realtor and wants to use me and John the plumber as his properties plumbers.

River the Plumber is very knowledgeable and fixed my water heater. He did a very good job. He noticed the previous plumber installed the water heater wrong and it caused sparks where it was connected and the part was burned out and River needed to replace it because there was no hot water. I could not take a shower for four days. River works for John the Plumber. He is the only person I would use in this company.
