Sewer Mainline Clearing in Minnetonka, MN
Sewer mainline clearing removes a blockage in the large pipe that carries all of a building's wastewater to the municipal sewer, usually with a high-flow jetting nozzle that cleans the full pipe wall.

- The lowest drain in the house, often a basement floor drain, backs up first
- Several toilets and tubs are slow at the same time
- Sewage odor near a cleanout or in the yard
How the work usually goes
Because the main line serves every fixture, a clog there affects the whole property. A larger jetting nozzle is run from the cleanout toward the street connection, breaking up grease, paper and sediment. Many jetting pros pair this with a camera look afterward, because jetting clears the pipe but does not repair a cracked or offset section.
Availability in Minnetonka
If water is already coming up through a drain, stop using water and call. A provider reached through professional hydro jetting services in Minnetonka can tell you what to expect before arriving. Roots are a frequent cause in established neighborhoods, which is covered on the root removal page, and urgent cases are handled as emergency clog blasting.
Price depends on the job. We quote after hearing the details, so you get a real number instead of a guess. Call a professional right away if water is backing up, if sewage is involved or if the same clog keeps returning.
Questions about sewer mainline clearing
Should I call right away for a sewage backup?
Yes. Stop running water, avoid contact with backed-up water, and call. Cleanup of affected flooring is a separate job from clearing the line.
Will jetting fix a broken sewer pipe?
No. Jetting clears debris. A collapsed or cracked line needs a repair or replacement, which a camera inspection can help confirm.
