How to Remove a Sewer Cleanout

Sewer cleanouts are access points located along sewer lines. They provide a way to clean or inspect the line without having to dig up the pipe. To remove a sewer cleanout, follow these steps:

Locate the cleanout: Find the cap of the cleanout, which is typically flush with the ground or located in a wall or basement.
Unscrew the cap: Using a wrench or pliers, carefully unscrew the cap counterclockwise.
Remove the plug: Inside the cleanout, you will find a plug that seals the opening. Use a screwdriver to loosen and remove the plug.
Clean or inspect: Once the plug is removed, you can use a snake or camera to clean or inspect the line as needed.
Replace the plug and cap: After completing your work, replace the plug and tighten it securely. Screw the cap back onto the cleanout and tighten it to seal the opening.

Removing a sewer cleanout is a straightforward process that can be completed in a matter of minutes. By following these steps, you can easily access your sewer line for cleaning or inspection.
