What is a cleanout and where is it located?
You should familiarize yourself with you cleanout location. The cleanout is a vertical pipe located near the property line that rises from your sewer line to ground level and is capped. Sometimes, the cleanout becomes buried or hidden over the years and is forgotten. In some cases, older homes may never have had a cleanout installed by the plumber. As a property owner, you are responsible for your cleanout. If the cleanout is buried, a registered plumber should be able to locate and raise it for you. If it is hidden, you need to make it easy for our crew to access.
