What is a Cleanout Pipe?

Call Montgomery Sanitation Services, Inc. for Home Sewer Maintenance

While it is an important part of your home’s sewer system, many people will ask, “What is a cleanout pipe?” In order to do complete maintenance and repair tasks like “snaking,” jet cleaning, and more, drain cleaners like Montgomery Sanitation Services may need to access the cleanout pipe.

These are tubes that extend from a sewer system to the surface of the ground outside your home. It typically looks like a white, black, or gray PVC pipe sticking out slightly from the ground.

Importance of a Cleanout Pipe for Your Sewer System

Montgomery Sanitation Services, Inc. can help you locate, repair, or install a cleanout pipe for your home. A broken or missing pipe can prohibit maintenance when needed. If there is a blockage or problem with your drains, wastewater can back up into your home. This pipe is the key to unclogging the sewer and drain problem.

Wastewater backup can occur where areas connect to drains and the sewer, such as toilets, sinks, tubs, showers, basement, etc. When wastewater backs up into the home, we can use an accessible cleanout in certain situations to correct these types of flow issues.
