What's the average/standard sewage rooting cost now?

SoCAL. 2200sqft 2 floors house.

Found toilet clogged and sewage overflow from back of the house.

Don't want to be overcharged.

About every 10 years this sxxt happens. 😡
 
Yeah, the pipe is to the street. But the toilet is right in the middle of the house on the backside of the house and there is a sewage hole there.

What is a "Sewage Hole"?
Are you talking about a sewage clean-out port that should be capped.

You shouldn't have a hole in your sewage pipes.
 
Around here it's around $200 just to have them show up with proper equipment, I think that covers the first half hour if it's something quick. After that, it's like $125/hr or so, but they usually get in and out pretty quick. I couldn't guess what SoCal rates are, costs are higher but there also may be fierce competition.
 
Some of the rooter services are heavy one the upsell. I had one tell me I needed a new sewer line before he even saw it. I pointed to the cleanout, told him to run the snake out a hundred feet per our agreement, or leave.
