sewer pipe
Does anyone have theirs drained regularly? My friend had a back up and now I am getting nervous! I have never had it done! I didn't even know there was such a thing! I thought it was just for cesspools but aparently not!

Re: sewer pipe
most sewer lines within the walls of your house should normally be rather empty except for the traps.... each fixture should have a trap as well as the main sewer line right before it leaves your house....
we have ours cleaned regularly (maybe once a year) to avoid roots or debris from blocking it...
EDT: the purpose of the trap is actually to keep water.... it sits in the U shaped pipe to prevent sewer gases from escaping through fixtures.

Who do you call for this? How much does it cost?

Re: sewer pipe
UPDATE: we actually have it done about every six months...generally around $100-125....
they clean out the main sewer line in the basement, which runs the full length of the house out into the street....
we use a local company, but i have family that uses Roto-Rooter... roughly the same price.
