What Is Cleanout Installation?
A service that creates dedicated access to your building drain or sewer so professionals can clear blockages, perform camera inspections, and maintain the line without pulling fixtures or breaking surfaces.
We determine optimal location (e.g., two-way at the building connection, property-line cleanout, or stack cleanout), install swept fittings for tool entry, set a protected box/lid, and verify with a camera.
Why Choose White Glove Plumbing
Compliance & safety first: Technicians trained in code-compliant drain/sewer work, trench safety, and inspection workflows.
Defensible documentation: Camera footage, depth/route notes, photos, and materials list for your records.
Best-fit solutions: Two-way, single-direction, or property-line cleanouts matched to your layout and access needs.
One accountable team: We can jet or auger immediately through the new cleanout and repair defects if found.
Immediate Actions (What to Do Now)
Limit water use if you’re experiencing slow drains or backups.
Avoid chemical drain cleaners—they can damage pipe and PPE.
Note where issues occur (fixtures, times of day) and any existing access points.
Keep the area clear where a cleanout is likely needed (exterior wall, property line).
Call our 24/7 dispatcher—we’ll locate, plan, and install a code-compliant cleanout.
Common Situations We Handle
Homes without exterior cleanouts or with buried/failed caps
Recurring clogs where toilet pulls or roof vents were used as makeshift access
Landscaped or hardscaped routes where trenchless service is preferred later
Real-estate transactions/HOA requirements for accessible sewer maintenance
Commercial sites needing traffic-rated access boxes in drive lanes
Older clay/cast lines where a transition and proper cleanout are overdue
Secure & Survey
Review symptoms, identify probable route, and mark utilities (811). Determine code requirements and ideal cleanout type/location.
Locate & Design
Use camera/locator to confirm depth/material and measure set-out; choose two-way or single-direction sweeps, box type, and cap placement.
Excavate & Prepare
Open a targeted access pit; protect adjacent surfaces; cut in with minimal disruption; prep bedding and supports.
Install Cleanout Assembly
Fit code-rated ABS/PVC (Sch 40 or SDR per code) or cast-iron as needed; install swept fittings (wye + 45/sweep); set riser and box (traffic-rated if needed) with watertight cap.
Camera Verify & Backfill
Camera the line through the new access to confirm serviceability and direction; backfill/compact; restore grade/hardscape (basic).
Close-Out & Documentation
Provide video, photos, depth/route notes, material list, and maintenance guidance (e.g., jetting intervals).

Line locating & utility coordination (811) with route/depth confirmation
Design & permitting/inspection coordination as required
Cleanout installation (two-way/single-direction) with swept fittings
Traffic-rated box/lid where applicable and watertight cap

Costs & Timelines (What to Expect)
Typical duration: Many installs finish same day; deeper lines or concrete/asphalt restoration may be phased.
Cost drivers: Depth and soil, surface restoration (landscape/hardscape), material transitions, traffic-rated box requirements, and inspection scheduling.
Clear estimate: Line items for locating, installation, restoration, and reporting—no surprises.
Insurance & Compliance Support
Records your stakeholders expect: Camera video, photos, permit/inspection details, and materials list.
Policy alignment: We follow building SOPs, provide COIs, and coordinate with HOAs/property managers.
Future-proofing: Cleanout placement supports faster response and lower costs on future maintenance or repairs.

Harder, messier backups if access requires pulling fixtures or breaking surfaces
Higher service costs from repeat labor without proper entry

Code compliance issues during sales, remodels, or inspections

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I really need a cleanout?
If you’ve had backups or plan camera/jetting work, yes—a cleanout provides safe, fast access and reduces costs over time.
Two-way or single-direction—what’s better?
Two-way at the building exit often covers both directions. Site layout and code drive the choice; we’ll recommend the best fit.
Will the cleanout be visible?
The box/lid sits flush to grade. We offer low-profile or traffic-rated options depending on location.
What if my pipe is clay or cast iron?
We install a code-compliant transition to ABS/PVC or cast as required and ensure proper bedding/slope.
Do you pull permits?
Yes—we obtain permits and schedule inspections where required.
Can you install more than one cleanout?
Absolutely—property-line and interior stack cleanouts can be added for comprehensive access.
