### How to Remove a Sewer Cleanout

A sewer cleanout is a vital component of your home’s plumbing system. It provides access to the sewer line, allowing for easy cleaning and repairs. If you’re experiencing any sewer problems, removing the cleanout can help you diagnose and fix the issue.

**Step 1: Locate the Sewer Cleanout**

The sewer cleanout is typically located in the basement, crawlspace, or outside the house near the foundation. Look for a round or square cap with a handle.

**Step 2: Remove the Cap**

Use a wrench or pliers to loosen the cap. Once it’s loose, carefully lift it off. Be prepared for any water or debris that may spill out.

**Step 3: Clear the Cleanout**

If the cleanout is clogged, use a drain snake or auger to clear the blockage. Insert the snake or auger into the cleanout and crank it down until you reach the blockage. Turn the crank clockwise to break up the clog.

**Step 4: Replace the Cap**

Once the cleanout is clear, replace the cap. Make sure it’s tightened securely to prevent leaks.
