Cleanout Installation & Repair in Las Vegas, NV
A sewer or drain cleanout is your plumber’s “access door” into the piping system. Without a usable cleanout, clearing clogs or inspecting the line often means pulling toilets, cutting pipe, or opening walls/landscape. With properly located, code-compliant cleanouts, we can clear main line clogs, perform camera inspections, and service drains much more efficiently. Active Plumbing provides cleanout installation and repair for sewer and drain cleanouts in Las Vegas, Henderson, North Las Vegas, Summerlin, and nearby communities—helping you get proper access now and fewer headaches later.

What our Clients think about us
Your satisfaction is our priority.
What Is a Sewer or Drain Cleanout?
A sewer or drain cleanout is a fitting with a removable cap that provides direct access into a drain or sewer line. Cleanouts are typically:
Located on the main sewer line leaving your home or building (often outside)
Installed on key branch lines (like laundry, kitchen, or condo/HOA stacks) where frequent access is needed
Used for main line drain cleaning, rooter service, and sewer camera inspection
Without a proper cleanout, clearing a main line clog often requires:
Pulling a toilet and running equipment through the fixture
Going up on the roof to use a vent line (where possible)
Cutting into exposed pipe for temporary access
Proper cleanout installation and repair gives us safer, more effective access points—and gives you better options when something goes wrong.
Why Choose Active Plumbing
Main sewer & drain specialists: We work with whole-house sewer lines and key branch lines, not just a single fixture.
Smart cleanout placement: We install cleanouts where they’re most useful to access and maintain your system, not just “wherever is easiest right now.”
Code- and inspection-aware: We pay attention to depth, orientation, and location so cleanouts are useful for future inspections, drain cleaning, and repairs.
Repair and retrofit experts: We can locate existing buried or damaged cleanouts, repair or replace risers and caps, and add new cleanouts where they’re missing.
Future savings mindset: A properly placed sewer cleanout can cut time and cost on every future main line clog or camera inspection.
Licensed & insured: Nevada License #0047021, trusted for drain, sewer, and cleanout projects across the Las Vegas valley.
Immediate Actions (What to Do Now)
Think about where plumbers have accessed your drains before (pulled toilets, roof vents, cutting pipe, etc.).
Note if you have any visible cleanout caps outside or inside—and whether they’re buried, damaged, or hard to reach.
If you’re dealing with a current clog and were told “you don’t have a good cleanout,” mention that.
If possible, take photos of the front yard, side yard, or where sewer exits the building, plus any existing cleanout caps.
Call Active Plumbing at (702) 438-3357 and ask about sewer and drain cleanout installation and repair—let us know if this is for current problems, future prevention, or code/inspection compliance.
Common Situations We Handle with Cleanout Installation & Repair
Homes with no visible main sewer cleanout and repeated main line clogs
Properties where plumbers have always had to pull toilets or use roof vents to clear severe clogs
Buried or hidden cleanouts that were covered by landscaping, concrete, or previous yard work
Broken, sunken, or missing cleanout caps or risers that allow dirt and debris into the line
HOAs, condos, and commercial buildings needing additional cleanouts for multi-unit stacks or long runs
Properties preparing for sewer camera inspection, lining, or repair, but lacking usable access
If you’ve ever heard, “We really should install a cleanout here,” this is the service they were talking about.
Call & Problem/Goal Review
You call (702) 438-3357 and tell us why you’re interested in cleanout installation or repair—repeated clogs, issues accessing the line, inspection/code concerns, or a damaged/missing cleanout. We schedule a visit and gather any previous plumbing info you have.
On-Site Evaluation & Line Locating
Your plumber inspects the property, identifies where the main sewer line exits, looks for existing cleanouts, and may use line locating equipment where needed. We evaluate access, depth, and pipe layout to determine ideal cleanout locations.
Common Situations We Handle
Based on what we find, we recommend cleanout installation points (main line, critical branches, or both) and any needed cleanout repairs or rebuilds. We provide a clear, upfront estimate outlining locations, methods (digging, concrete/asphalt work where needed), and scope.
Excavation & Pipe Preparation
On the scheduled day, we carefully excavate or open the necessary area (soil, rock, sometimes concrete) to expose the target section of pipe. We clean and prepare the pipe for new cleanout fittings or repair/replacement of existing cleanout assemblies.
Cleanout Installation / Repair & Backfill
We install approved cleanout fittings, risers, and caps on the sewer or drain line, ensuring they’re properly oriented and at a usable height. For repairs, we replace damaged risers/caps and secure connections. We backfill and, where included, patch concrete or hardscape to a professional standard.
Testing, Marking & Future Access Guidance
We test access through the new or repaired cleanouts, verifying we can run drain cleaning machines and camera equipment as needed. We mark or show you the locations so they’re easy to find in the future and explain how cleanouts will make future clogs, inspections, and repairs faster and more cost-effective.
What’s Included
A typical cleanout installation and repair project may include:
On-site evaluation and line locating to determine optimal cleanout location(s)
Excavation or access work (soil, landscape, or hardscape within agreed scope) to reach the pipe
Installation or repair of cleanout fittings, risers, and caps on sewer or drain lines
Backfilling and basic surface restoration (including concrete patching if part of the scope)
Verification of access for drain cleaning and camera equipment via the new cleanout(s)
Explanation and marking of cleanout locations for future use and reference
(Extensive hardscape restoration, landscaping, or large-scale site work can be scoped separately if needed.)
Costs & Timelines (What to Expect)
Many single cleanout installations or repairs can be completed in a single workday, depending on depth, location, and surface material (dirt vs. concrete).
You’ll receive upfront, itemized pricing based on number of cleanouts, depth, access conditions, and any required surface restoration.
Main cost factors include pipe depth, whether the cleanout is in soil or under concrete/pavers, how far we must dig or cut, and whether line locating or additional fittings are needed.
For HOAs and commercial properties, we can plan phased cleanout additions to improve access over time while controlling budget impact.
Insurance & Claims Help
Cleanout installation and repair is often a preventive and access-improvement upgrade, but it can intersect with:
Real estate transactions: Buyers and inspectors may request main sewer cleanouts for easier inspection and maintenance.
Damage and backup claims: Good cleanout access can help document and address main line issues more easily if backups occur.
Capital improvements: For HOAs and multi-unit buildings, added cleanouts can be part of a larger sewer system upgrade.
(Coverage and value impacts depend on your insurer, appraiser, and situation; this is not financial or legal advice.)
Risks of Waiting (Why Act Now)
More invasive future work: Without cleanouts, drain cleaning may require pulling toilets, roof work, or cutting pipe.
Longer downtime during clogs: Troubleshooting and clearing main line clogs is slower and more difficult with poor access.
Higher service costs: Every main line clog or camera inspection can be more expensive and time-consuming without cleanouts.
Limited diagnostic options: Lack of access can make it hard to camera the line, locate breaks, or plan repairs accurately.
Code and inspection issues: Some properties may be flagged by inspectors for missing or damaged cleanouts.
Installing or repairing cleanouts is one of the simplest long-term upgrades you can make to your drain and sewer system.
Methods, Materials & Quality Standards
Line locating & layout understanding: We don’t guess; we use experience and tools to find the right section of pipe.
Approved fittings and materials: We install code-appropriate cleanout fittings, risers, and caps matched to your piping.
Proper orientation and height: Cleanouts are set so they’re usable for equipment, not buried too deep or set at awkward angles.
Neat excavation and restoration: We minimize disturbance where possible and restore surfaces within the agreed scope.
Future-service mindset: Everything is done with future cleanings, inspections, and repairs in mind.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if I already have a sewer cleanout?
Often, it’s a plastic or metal cap (usually 3"–4") at or slightly above ground level near the front, side, or back of the home. If you’re not sure, we can locate and identify any existing cleanouts.
Do I really need a cleanout if my drains are fine now?
If you’ve had clogs in the past or your home has older piping, a cleanout is a smart investment. It makes future drain cleaning and inspections much easier and often less expensive.
Can you repair a broken or sunken cleanout instead of installing a new one?
Yes. We can often repair or rebuild risers and caps if the underlying connection is sound. If the piping or fitting is damaged, we may recommend partial replacement and a new cleanout.
Will you have to dig up my yard or cut concrete?
Sometimes yes. Cleanout installation usually requires exposing the pipe. We’ll explain exactly what’s required, including any concrete or hardscape work, before you approve the job.
Can cleanouts help with camera inspections and sewer repair planning?
Absolutely. Proper cleanouts are often essential access points for camera inspections, locating breaks, and planning repairs or lining.
