### Understanding Sewer Line Maintenance and Repair

Maintaining and repairing sewer lines are crucial for preventing costly and unpleasant sewer backups. Regular inspections, cleaning, and preventive measures ensure efficient wastewater drainage, reducing risks of blockages, leaks, and overflows.

### How to Remove a Sewer Cleanout

A sewer cleanout is an access point located on a sewer line that allows for inspection and cleaning. Removing a sewer cleanout requires the following steps:

– **Locate the cleanout:** Identify the location of the cleanout by tracing the sewer line from the house to the street.
– **Clear the area:** Remove any obstructions or debris around the cleanout.
– **Unscrew the cap:** Using an adjustable wrench, carefully unscrew the cap from the cleanout.
– **Extract the plug:** Once the cap is removed, slowly pull out the plug, which may be stuck from debris.
– **Clean the cleanout:** Use a plumber’s snake or a wet/dry vacuum to remove any blockages or debris inside the cleanout.
– **Reinsert the plug:** Insert the removed plug back into the cleanout and tighten it securely.
– **Replace the cap:** Screw the cap back onto the cleanout and tighten it to prevent leaks.
