Main Line Sewer Cleaning
Acts of Service Plumbing provides professional main line sewer cleaning throughout Tulsa, Bixby, and the surrounding metro area. Our family-owned crew clears tough blockages to get your drains flowing properly again.
What we see in Tulsa-area homes
- Showers and toilets backing up with water and sewage.
- Clogs located right near the cleanout or further down the line.
- Debris like hair and plastic packed tightly inside the drain pipes.
- Leaning, warped, or missing cleanouts that make access challenging.
- Multiple plumbing fixtures backing up simultaneously, including laundry and hall bath drains.
How we fix it
- Locate the main line cleanout or carefully pull a toilet to access the drain system.
- Run our sewer machine and cables through the line to break up blockages.
- Flush toilets and test with water to ensure proper drainage past the cleanout.
- We bring a sewer camera on every main line call and can offer a full line inspection to see roots or pipe damage.

- Toilets, showers, and sinks backing up at the same time.

Cable and Chain Cleaning
We clear main lines with cable machines and a flex-shaft chain cleaner. We don't offer hydro jetting right now. If our double blades make it all the way through the line, we guarantee the cleaning for 90 days. If they can't get through, that usually means a break in the pipe, roots or something attached inside the line, and that is when we recommend a camera inspection.

Straight Answers
Why are my toilets and showers backing up at the same time?
When multiple fixtures back up together, it usually indicates a blockage in your main sewer line.
What happens if my home does not have an outside cleanout?
Our plumber can carefully pull a toilet to gain direct access to the drain line and run the sewer machine.
What causes main line sewer clogs?
Our crew frequently finds hair, plastic debris, and buildup blocking the line near the cleanout or septic connection.
How do you test the drain after clearing a clog?
We flush the toilets and run water to ensure the water flows past the cleanout without backing up.
When are you open for service?
We are open 24 hours Monday through Saturday and closed on Sunday.
Why does my drain keep clogging?
Usually grease, tree roots, a sagging (bellied) section of pipe, or buildup a cable didn't fully remove. A sewer camera inspection, which starts at $350, finds the actual cause.
Do you offer hydro jetting?
Not right now. We clear lines with cable machines and a flex-shaft chain cleaner.
When do you recommend a camera inspection after clearing a clog?
When our double blades can't make it all the way through the line. That usually means a break in the pipe, roots or something attached inside the line.
Where should my outside cleanout be?
Your main sewer line should have a cleanout within about two feet of the house. It gives us access to clear the line from outside.
How much does main line cleaning cost?
Outside drain cleaning from the cleanout starts at $256. Drain cleaning plus a camera inspection starts at $420. Your exact flat-rate price is quoted upfront before any work starts.
