FAQs
What types of drains can you clear with your state-of-the-art equipment in Crab Orchard?
Our advanced machinery can open virtually any residential or commercial drain in Crab Orchard, including kitchen sinks, bathroom sinks, tubs, showers, floor drains, main sewer lines, laundry drains, basement or exterior French drains, and even storm drains. Whether the clog is caused by grease, hair, roots, or foreign objects, our equipment is designed to tackle it safely and efficiently.
How does your high-tech drain-opening equipment work?
We deploy a combination of video inspection cameras, hydro-jetters, and computerized cable machines. First, the camera pinpoints the blockage and checks pipe integrity. Then, depending on the clog type, we either use a hydro-jetter that blasts water at up to 4,000 PSI to scour the pipe walls or a precision-controlled auger cable that cuts through roots and debris. This two-step process ensures the drain is completely cleared and the line is restored to full flow capacity.
Is your equipment safe for older pipes and septic systems?
Yes. Our technicians adjust water pressure and cutting heads based on pipe material and age. For older cast-iron or fragile clay pipes, we dial back PSI and use softer nozzles, while septic lines are treated with biodegradable solutions that won’t disturb beneficial bacteria. The in-line camera allows real-time monitoring so we can stop immediately if we detect any vulnerability in the pipe walls.
How fast can you respond to an emergency drain blockage in Crab Orchard?
We offer 24/7 emergency service with a local team stationed less than 20 minutes from downtown Crab Orchard. Most emergency calls are dispatched within 30 minutes, and typical on-site arrival is 60–90 minutes, even on weekends and holidays. Our fully stocked service vans carry all the high-tech tools needed to solve most clogs in a single visit.
Will a state-of-the-art drain opening prevent future clogs?
While no drain can be guaranteed clog-free forever, our hydro-jetting service removes the film, scale, and residue that traditional snaking leaves behind. This dramatically reduces the likelihood of future blockages. We also provide a post-service video you can keep, along with tailored maintenance tips (like enzyme treatments or periodic jetting schedules) to keep your lines clear for years.
What does the service cost and do you offer any warranty?
Standard residential drain openings in Crab Orchard start at $129, with pricing dependent on drain type, clog severity, and accessibility. Hydro-jetting packages begin at $249 and include a complimentary camera inspection. All work comes with a 90-day clog-free guarantee on the serviced line, and extended one-year warranties are available when you enroll in our preventive maintenance program.
