Sewer Cleanout Installation in Burbank & Los Angeles
Give your sewer line a front door.
A cleanout is a capped pipe that gives direct access to your main sewer line. Without one, clearing a main-line clog can mean pulling a toilet or working down from the roof vent. Rooter Pros installs, replaces and repairs cleanouts so future clogs can be cleared — and camera-inspected — from outside the house.

Cleanout services
New cleanouts, replacements and repairs — for houses, multi-unit buildings and businesses.
New cleanout installation
For homes with no cleanout at all, we locate the main line, then install a cleanout at the house or near the property line where it does the most good.
Two-way cleanouts
A two-way fitting gives access toward the house and toward the street, so both directions of the line can be cleared and inspected.
Broken or buried cleanouts
Cracked pipe, a missing or stuck cap, or a cleanout buried under soil or concrete — we repair it, replace the cap, or bring it up to grade.
Cleanouts during sewer work
If your sewer line is being replaced, it’s the right moment to add a cleanout, because the line is already open.
Camera inspection
We camera the line through the new cleanout so you can see its condition on screen.
Commercial & multi-unit
Apartment buildings, restaurants and shops with shared main lines benefit most — one access point serves the whole building.
Signs you need a cleanout
If any of these sound familiar, a cleanout will make your next drain call simpler.
You can’t find one
Older homes often have no cleanout, or it was buried during landscaping. Our guide shows where to look first.
The main line keeps backing up
If the main line backs up more than once, a cleanout makes drain cleaning and hydro jetting faster and cleaner.
The cap or pipe is broken
A cracked riser or missing cap lets debris and roots in. We repair or replace it before it causes a backup.

How it works
Locate, install, test.
Locate the line
We find your main line and its depth with a camera and locator, so the cleanout goes where it will actually help.
Flat-rate price, then install
You approve an upfront price. We dig the access, cut in the fitting and riser, and set the cap at grade.
Test & restore
We run water and camera the line through the new cleanout, then patch the surface.
Sewer cleanout FAQ
What people ask before we dig.
What is a sewer cleanout?
A capped pipe connected to your main sewer line. Taking off the cap gives a plumber direct access to clear clogs and run a camera without going through a toilet or the roof.
Where is my cleanout?
Usually near the foundation on the side of the house closest to the street, or near the property line. It can be hidden by plants or buried. See our guide: how to find your sewer cleanout.
Do I really need one?
If you don’t have one, every main-line clog is harder to clear. If your line has backed up before, or you’re planning sewer work, a cleanout is worth it.
How much does a cleanout cost?
It depends on how deep the line is, what’s on top of it (soil, concrete or pavers) and permit requirements. We locate the line first, then quote a flat rate you approve before work starts. See what drives the price on our Honest Pricing page.
Does it need a permit?
Work on a sewer lateral can require a permit, depending on your city. We’ll tell you what applies at your address.
