Trenchless Cleanout Installation, explained.
Many older homes have no sewer cleanout at all, or have one buried, broken or in the wrong place. Without a cleanout, every camera inspection, jetting or lining job has to go through a toilet or a roof vent. A new cleanout fixes that for good.
We install two-way cleanouts at a sensible spot along the lateral, usually near the house or the property line, using a small opening rather than a long trench. A cleanout is a good investment on its own: it shortens future inspections, makes cleanings simple and gives lining crews a place to start. It also marks where the line runs.

Where does a cleanout go?
Usually near the house or at the property line, at a point where the pipe is accessible. We choose the spot that best serves future work.
Will it show in my yard?
A finished cleanout is a small capped riser at ground level or in a box. We keep it neat and discreet.
Can you install one under concrete?
It can be done with a small controlled opening, though other access options may work. We explain the choices after locating the pipe.
