How to Remove a Sewer Cleanout

Accessing the sewer line for maintenance or repair often requires removing a sewer cleanout. Sewer cleanouts are typically located outdoors, and they provide a convenient way to access the line without having to dig up the entire yard.

Steps to remove a sewer cleanout:

1. Locate the sewer cleanout. It is usually a capped opening in the ground.
2. Use a wrench to loosen and remove the cap.
3. Insert a cleanout plug or cap into the opening to prevent sewer gases from escaping.
4. Excavate around the cleanout to expose the connection to the sewer line.
5. Disconnect the cleanout from the line using a wrench.

Note: It is recommended to contact a professional sewage cleanup service if you encounter any difficulties or complications while removing a sewer cleanout.
