FAQs
What types of drain issues do your skilled technicians handle in Dayton?
Our licensed plumbers can resolve virtually any residential or light-commercial drain problem in Dayton, including kitchen sinks, bathroom sinks, tubs, showers, floor drains, laundry lines, main sewer lines, downspout drains, and clogged garbage disposals. Whether the blockage is caused by grease, hair, soap scum, food waste, tree roots, or foreign objects, we have the tools and expertise to restore full flow.
How quickly can I expect a technician to arrive for emergency drain opening?
We provide 24/7 emergency response throughout the Dayton metro. In most cases, a technician can be dispatched within 60–90 minutes of your call—often sooner if you’re inside the I-75/I-70 corridor. Our dispatchers use GPS to route the closest available crew, minimizing wait times and limiting water damage or sewer backup.
What methods and equipment do you use to open stubborn clogs?
Depending on the severity and location of the blockage, we may use high-speed cable machines (drain augers), hydro-jetting (high-pressure water up to 4,000 psi), sectional sewer machines, or mini-camera inspections to pinpoint the obstruction. For root intrusions, we often pair root-cutting blades with a foaming root inhibitor. Every technician arrives with a fully stocked service van so the correct solution can be implemented on the spot.
Are your drain opening services safe for older plumbing systems?
Yes. Before using any mechanical or high-pressure method, we assess the pipe material and condition. For fragile cast-iron or clay tile lines common in Dayton’s historic homes, we adjust pressure settings, use softer cable tips, or opt for gentler hydro-jetting nozzles. Our goal is to clear the clog without compromising the integrity of aging pipes.
Will you provide an upfront estimate before starting the drain opening job?
Absolutely. After a brief inspection, your technician will explain the cause of the clog, outline the recommended procedure, and present a flat-rate price. There are no hidden fees or overtime charges, even for nights, weekends, or holidays. Work proceeds only after you approve the estimate in writing.
How can I prevent future clogs after you have opened my drain?
Your technician will offer tailored maintenance tips, such as installing hair catchers, disposing of cooking grease in sealed containers, running hot water after each use, and scheduling annual hydro-jetting for tree-root-prone sewer lines. We can also set you up with our affordable Preventive Maintenance Plan, which includes periodic camera inspections and discounted service calls to keep your drains clear year-round.
