RECCH 0300:00:00Sewer Cleanout Locating explained.
The cleanout is the capped pipe that gives access to your sewer line. Sod grows over them, mulch buries them and some were never installed at all. Without one, every inspection and cleaning is harder.
We find hidden cleanouts using the line’s path, probe rods and locating equipment, and we mark them and expose them so you know where they are. If the house has none, we can recommend the best alternative access.
