What our Clients think about us
Your satisfaction is our priority.
What Is a Sewer Cleanout (and Why It Matters)?
A sewer cleanout is a fitting and capped pipe that provides direct access into your main sewer line. It’s usually:
Installed above ground or slightly below grade, with a removable cap
Located near the building, property line, or key changes in direction
Sized to allow sewer machines, jetters, and cameras to enter the line
Without good cleanouts, plumbers may have to:
Pull toilets (risking damage to seals and flooring)
Cut into interior piping, then patch it afterward
Work from less-than-ideal angles, making thorough cleaning harder
Installing cleanouts is like adding service doors to your plumbing—it makes future maintenance, cleaning, and diagnostics much easier and typically less costly.
Why Choose Active Plumbing
We think ahead to the next emergency: We place cleanouts where techs can actually use them, even in the middle of the night.
Code-focused installation: Cleanouts are installed to local code requirements for size, direction, and location.
Camera & repair friendly: We understand how cleanouts support future camera work, repairs, lining, and replacement.
Good for homes, rentals & HOAs: We routinely install cleanouts for single-family homes, multi-units, and common lines.
Licensed & insured: Nevada License #0047021, serving the Las Vegas valley since 1991.
Immediate Actions (What to Do Now)
Think back to the last time you had a main line clog—did the plumber have to pull a toilet or cut into piping?
Walk around your property and see if you can find any existing cleanouts (usually capped pipes near walls or in planter/rock beds).
Note any areas that constantly give trouble—like a certain bathroom group or a particular side of the house.
If you’ve recently had a camera inspection, keep any reports or video links handy; they help us plan the best cleanout location.
Don’t wait for the next “all fixtures backed up” emergency before adding proper access.
Call Active Plumbing at (702) 438-3357 and ask about sewer cleanout installation for easier future access—tell us about your home layout and any past sewer issues.
Common Situations Where Sewer Cleanout Installation Makes Sense
You have no visible cleanout: There’s no obvious sewer access outside, only fixtures and maybe a roof vent.
Backups are frequent or severe: Main line clogs have already flooded tubs, showers, or floors.
Past plumbers struggled to reach the line: They had to pull toilets, cut pipes, or come back multiple times.
You’re planning major work: Upcoming repipes, sewer repairs, lining, or replacements benefit greatly from accessible cleanouts.
You own rentals or multi-unit properties: Quick access reduces downtime, damage, and tenant disruption.
Existing cleanouts are buried or too small: Older cleanouts may be buried under concrete, landscaping, or installed incorrectly.
Site Visit, History & Layout Review
We review your backup history, current access issues, and property layout, then locate existing sewer lines, fixtures, and any old cleanouts. We consider trees, driveways, and future projects when planning locations.
Locate and Mark the Sewer Line
Using plans, locating equipment, and experience, we determine the path and depth of your main sewer line. We then mark proposed cleanout locations for optimal access and code compliance.
Plan Location, Type & Configuration
We decide on the type and size of cleanout, whether you need one or multiple, and how they’ll be oriented (one- or two-directional) to allow effective cleaning both toward the house and toward the street.
Excavation and Pipe Preparation
We carefully excavate down to the sewer pipe at the planned location(s), protecting nearby utilities, landscaping, and surfaces. We expose enough of the pipe to cut in and install the new cleanout fitting(s) properly.
Cleanout Installation, Testing & Backfill
We cut into the sewer line, install the new cleanout fittings and risers, and ensure proper slope, sealing, and support. We test for leaks and flow, then bed and backfill the excavation, compacting soil to reduce settling.
Final Cap, Marking & Homeowner Guidance
We install the cleanout caps, review location and use with you, and explain how cleanouts will help in future emergencies, cleaning, and camera inspections. If desired, we can discuss additional cleanouts or future sewer improvements.
What’s Included
A typical sewer cleanout installation project may include:
Site evaluation and sewer line locating
Design and placement planning for one or more cleanouts
Excavation and exposure of the existing sewer line at the chosen location(s)
Installation of cleanout fittings, risers, and caps to code
Backfilling and basic surface restoration (soil/rock; concrete or detailed landscaping may be separate)
Final inspection, testing, and homeowner/manager walkthrough
(Exact scope depends on line depth, surface type, and how many cleanouts are needed.)
Costs & Timelines (What to Expect)
Cleanout installation is usually a planned, same- or short-day project, but cost and timing are affected by:
Depth of the sewer line: Deeper lines mean more digging and shoring.
Surface conditions: Dirt/rock vs concrete, asphalt, or pavers on top of the line.
Number of cleanouts: Single cleanout vs multiple access points (e.g., near house and near property line).
Obstacles and utilities: Working around trees, roots, irrigation, gas, water, or electrical lines.
We’ll provide a clear written estimate that outlines:
How many cleanouts we recommend and where
What surfaces will be disturbed and how they’ll be restored
Labor, materials, and optional upgrades
We can also explain how investing in cleanouts now can lower future emergency and maintenance costs.
Insurance & Claims Help
Sewer cleanout installation is often a preventive upgrade, but if you’re installing them after a backup or damage, insurance may be involved.
Here’s how we can help on our side:
Provide detailed invoices and photos showing line conditions and the work performed.
Offer itemized estimates separating cleanup, emergency service, and cleanout installation.
When needed, speak with your adjuster or inspector to explain why cleanouts were needed and how they help prevent future damage.
(Coverage decisions depend on your policy and insurer; we can’t guarantee what will or won’t be covered.)
Risks of Waiting (Why Act Now)
Cleanouts are incredibly useful, but they’re not a magic fix for every sewer problem:
Existing pipe damage: If your line is broken, sagging, or deteriorated, adding a cleanout won’t fix underlying issues.
Shared or complex lines: Multi-unit or older properties may have shared mains or unusual layouts that also need reconfiguration.
Deep or tricky access: Very deep or hard-to-reach lines may require extra support or structural considerations.
Severe root or offset problems: Cleanouts make access easier, but the pipe itself may still need repair, lining, or replacement.
If we find that bigger problems exist, we’ll explain them plainly and outline repair, lining, or replacement options alongside cleanout installation.
Methods, Materials & Quality Standards
Code-appropriate fittings and caps: We use properly rated sewer fittings and cleanout caps, not makeshift parts.
Correct orientation and sizing: Cleanouts are sized and angled for real-world use by cleaning equipment and cameras.
Attention to surface restoration: We respect your property and aim to minimize disruption during excavation and backfill.
Future-proof mindset: We place cleanouts where they’ll be useful for decades, not just for one visit.
Full-service support: If future issues arise, we already know your layout and can respond faster and more effectively.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I really need a sewer cleanout if I haven’t had a backup yet?
At low levels, sewer gas is mainly a nuisance, but strong or persistent odors can cause headaches, nausea, or other symptoms and may indicate a serious plumbing issue that needs attention.
Where will you put the cleanout?
We typically install cleanouts outside near the building or property line, positioned for good access, code compliance, and minimal visual impact.
Will you have to break concrete or pavers?
Sometimes, yes—if the line runs under driveways, walkways, or patios. We’ll explain what’s involved and what restoration options you have.
How many cleanouts do I need?
It depends on your layout. Some homes do fine with one key cleanout, while others benefit from two or more for better coverage and flow direction.
Can you add a cleanout during other sewer work?
Absolutely. Cleanout installation is a great add-on during repairs, replacements, or lining projects.
