FAQs
What are the most common signs that my drain is blocked?
Typical indicators include water draining slowly or not at all, gurgling sounds from the pipes, foul odors coming from sinks or floor drains, rising water levels in toilets, and water backing up into tubs or showers. If you notice any of these in your Benton home or business, it’s best to call for professional drain opening before the blockage worsens or causes water damage.
How quickly can your Benton plumbers respond to a blockage?
We offer same-day service across the Benton area and maintain a 24/7 emergency line. In most cases, a licensed technician can be on-site within 60–90 minutes, fully equipped with mechanical augers, hydro-jetting units, and drain cameras to diagnose and clear the obstruction during a single visit.
What methods do you use to clear stubborn clogs?
Our approach depends on the severity and cause of the blockage. For minor clogs we start with professional-grade augers (drain snakes). For heavy grease, scale, or invasive roots we deploy high-pressure hydro-jetting, which scours the pipe interior without chemicals. If the clog recurs, we perform a camera inspection to locate breaks, bellies, or intruding roots, and can recommend trenchless pipe repair when needed.
Is drain opening safe for older pipes?
Yes. Before we begin, we evaluate pipe material and condition. For fragile cast-iron or clay lines, we adjust equipment settings and hose tips to lower pressures. Hydro-jetting can actually extend the life of older pipes by removing corrosive buildup, provided it’s done at the correct PSI. We avoid harsh chemical cleaners that can accelerate pipe wear.
Will you need to dig up my yard to clear the blockage?
In most cases, no digging is required. Mechanical snaking and hydro-jetting are performed through existing clean-outs or fixture openings. If a camera inspection shows a collapsed or severely offset pipe section, we may recommend trenchless pipe bursting or lining, both of which require only small access pits instead of a full trench.
How can I prevent future blockages after your service?
Dispose of grease, coffee grounds, and fibrous foods in the trash, install hair catchers in showers, and schedule annual preventive hydro-jetting if you have trees near your sewer line. Avoid ‘flushable’ wipes and excessive use of chemical drain cleaners. We also offer a maintenance plan for Benton homeowners that includes discounted inspections and priority scheduling to keep your drains flowing freely all year.
