Scottsdale backups: main, lateral and cleanout

A cleanout is two four-inch caps, usually near a bathroom. A plumber can find or add yours.

Scottsdale drain questions
What should I use instead of a chemical drain cleaner?
For one slow fixture, try a plunger and a cleaned drain cover. Don't mix cleaners. For repeat clogs or several slow fixtures, a plumber with a cable or camera can find the cause.
Does hot water wash grease down the drain?
No. The city says grease cools and hardens in sewer pipes. It suggests pouring it into a container with a paper towel or coffee grounds, binning it, and using a sink strainer.
What if the backup is in the city's main?
The city says it will make the repair and process property-damage claims through Risk Management. On weekdays, customer care can send a crew to help find where a backup starts.
