About this service
What Sewer Cleanout Installation in Marietta, Georgia Involves
Sewer cleanout installation in Marietta, Georgia is the process of adding or replacing an access point on your main sewer line so a plumber can reach the pipe without digging up your yard or pulling a toilet. A proper cleanout is a vertical pipe capped at ground level, tied into the main line with a wye fitting, and set at the correct slope. We use a sewer camera and sewer line locator transmitter to find the exact tie-in point, then excavate with a mini excavator or hand tools depending on depth. The cleanout gets a code-compliant cover and is backfilled so your lawn looks untouched.
Most Marietta homes built before 1980 still have clay tile sewer pipe or Orangeburg pipe with no cleanout at all. That means every clog turns into a guessing game and a messy indoor pull. We install new sewer cleanouts so you have a direct access point outside, which cuts future service time and cost. If you've ever searched 'find sewer cleanout in my Marietta yard' and come up empty, you're exactly who we help. We also install cleanouts for clogged sewer lines in Marietta Georgia when the existing line has none, or when the old cleanout is broken, buried, or too shallow to use.
- ✓ Faster Future Service
- ✓ Code-Compliant Access
- ✓ Stops Repeat Backups
- ✓ Protects Your Yard
What's included
What's Included in Our Sewer Cleanout Installation
Every cleanout install is different, but most jobs include the same core scope. Here's what you get when you hire us. If your job needs something extra, like concrete cutting or a backwater valve, we'll price it separately and clearly before we start.
Excavation and Backfill
We dig a small access pit, usually 2 to 3 feet square, using a mini excavator or hand tools. After the cleanout is set, we backfill, compact the soil, and restore the surface so your yard looks normal.
Wye Fitting and Cleanout Body
We cut the main line and install a wye fitting with PVC sewer pipe or ABS sewer pipe to match your existing material. The cleanout body is set at the correct slope and topped with a code-approved cover.
Code-Compliant Installation
We install to current Georgia plumbing code, including proper slope, materials, and cover height. If a local Georgia plumbing permit is required, we pull it and handle the inspection for you.
Flow Test and Camera Verification
Before we close the hole, we run water through the line and camera it again to confirm flow and no leaks. You get a walkthrough of the new cleanout and a written warranty on our workmanship.
How it works
How Our Sewer Cleanout Installation Process Works
We start by sending a sewer camera down your existing line or using a sewer line locator transmitter to map the main. This tells us where the pipe runs, how deep it sits, and where the best tie-in point is. On a typical Marietta lot, this takes 30 to 45 minutes.
Once we know the line path, we mark the cleanout location with paint and flags. We pick a spot that's easy to reach with equipment but out of the way of foot traffic. You'll see exactly where the cleanout will sit before we break ground.
We dig a small access pit, usually 2 to 3 feet square, using a mini excavator or hand tools. Then we cut the main line and install a wye fitting with PVC sewer pipe or ABS sewer pipe to match your existing material. The cleanout riser goes up to grade.
We set the cleanout body at the correct slope, glue or clamp the joints, and attach a code-approved cleanout cover. If your line is clay tile sewer pipe or cast iron sewer pipe, we use the right transition couplings to make a watertight connection. This step takes about an hour.

STEP 01Locate the Line

Tools & methods
Tools and Methods We Use for Cleanout Installation
Sewer Camera and Push Rod Camera
We use a sewer camera or push rod camera to inspect the line before and after installation. This confirms the tie-in point is clean and the new cleanout is properly connected.
Sewer Line Locator Transmitter
This tool lets us trace the exact path of your main line without digging. We mark the best cleanout location before we break ground, saving time and minimizing yard damage.
Mini Excavator
For deeper cleanouts, a mini excavator digs a precise access pit quickly. It fits through most gates and causes less disturbance than a full-size machine.
RIDGID and Milwaukee Tools
We use RIDGID and Milwaukee cutting and threading tools to modify pipe and fit cleanout components. These brands hold up to daily use and give us clean, reliable connections.
Hydro Jetter
After installing a cleanout, we often hydro jet the line to remove grease, roots, and debris. The cleanout gives us a straight shot to blast the pipe clean.
Pipe Test Plugs
We use pipe test plugs to pressure-test the new cleanout connection before backfilling. This ensures there are no leaks when the job is done.
Real results
Before and after.
Sewer Cleanout Installation
From No Cleanout to Code-Compliant Access
A 1950s ranch in Fair Oaks had no cleanout. Every clog required pulling a toilet, and the home inspection flagged it as a defect. The buyer's lender wouldn't clear the loan until it was fixed.
After: We installed a new cleanout near the property line in one day. The line was camera-verified and flowed freely. The inspection passed, and the sale closed on schedule. The new owner now has direct outdoor access.

Broken Cleanout Replaced, Roots Removed
A homeowner in West Marietta had a broken cleanout cover and roots growing into the pipe. The line backed up every few months, and each service call required digging around the broken cleanout.
After: We replaced the cleanout body and cover, then cut the roots with a drain snake auger and flushed the line with a hydro jetter. The line has been clear for over a year, and the new cover keeps roots out.
