Where should drain cleanouts be placed?

Drain cleanouts should be placed on every drain line. The most important cleanout should be placed within five feet of your foundations property on the main sewer line. Rescue Plumbing can install any cleanouts needed on your property.

Why do you need a two-way cleanout?

The reason you need a two-way clean out is to be able to perform drain cleaning going both directions. The waste will travel backward into the drain pipes if a drain backs up. To properly clean a drain after it has backed up you would need to perform drain cleaning both ways to be certain the drain is fully cleared. That is why you always need a two-way cleanout.
