No, they are different. A drain clog affects one drain in your home, often in your bathroom or kitchen. A sewer clog affects all the drains in your home. If you have slow drainage or backups from all drains, then you’ll likely need to snake or hydro jet your sewer line.

You should replace your sewer line when simple symptom-treating solutions like drain cleaning can no longer restore function to your plumbing and eliminate problems. If you have a sewer line leaking into your yard due to perforations, perhaps courtesy of tree roots or another problem, you will need to replace that line.

How long a sewer line replacement or repair might take can vary significantly depending on the methods, complications, and availability of components for each job. It could be completed in a few hours, or it could be a more involved project taking days.

Copper is not prone to leaks or corrosion. This makes it a durable, safe option that will provide reliable performance when used for cold/hot water. PVC can also be used for hot/cold potable water, but is better suited for use in sewage lines and drainage applications.
