FAQs
What kinds of drain problems can HEP Plumbing solve in Deer Lodge?
Our licensed technicians handle everything from routine sink, tub, shower, and floor-drain clogs to major main-line blockages. Whether the obstruction is caused by grease, food scraps, hair, soap scum, flushable wipes, tree-root intrusion, or long-term scale buildup, we have the equipment and training to clear it quickly and safely. We also address slow-draining fixtures, foul odors, gurgling noises, and repeated backups, restoring full flow to residential, rental, and light-commercial plumbing systems throughout Deer Lodge.
How fast can you respond to an emergency clog or backup?
We provide same-day and 24/7 emergency drain opening in Deer Lodge and the surrounding Powell County area. A dispatcher answers the phone around the clock, and in most cases we can have a plumber on site within 60–90 minutes. Our fully stocked service vans let us begin work immediately, so you don’t have to wait for parts or specialized tools to arrive.
Which drain-clearing techniques do you use, and will they damage my pipes?
Depending on the location and severity of the blockage, we may use high-speed cable (snaking), hydro-jetting, or enzyme and bio-friendly treatments. Snaking physically breaks up and retrieves debris, while hydro-jetting uses a high-pressure water stream to scour the entire pipe wall, ideal for grease and roots. All methods are safe for modern PVC, copper, and cast-iron lines when performed by trained professionals. We avoid corrosive chemical drain cleaners that could harm your plumbing or the environment.
Can you perform a camera inspection if my drains keep clogging?
Yes. Persistent or unexplained blockages often point to pipe damage, improper slope, or hidden objects. Our waterproof video inspection cameras travel the full length of the line, sending live images to the surface so we can pinpoint cracks, collapses, root intrusion, or lost items. After the inspection we share a digital recording and recommend the most cost-effective long-term solution, whether that’s targeted repair, trenchless lining, or scheduled maintenance jetting.
How much does professional drain opening cost and what determines the price?
For most residential fixtures a basic cable clearing starts around $125–$175. Main sewer lines, hydro-jetting, or after-hours emergency calls range from $250 to $600, depending on line length, access points, and severity of the blockage. Camera inspections add $150–$250 but often save money by confirming the exact problem. We provide upfront, flat-rate quotes before any work begins, so there are no surprises on your final bill.
What steps can I take to prevent future clogs after your service?
We suggest installing drain strainers in sinks and tubs, limiting grease and coffee-ground disposal, running hot water and a small amount of dish soap down kitchen lines weekly, and flushing only toilet paper in bathrooms. For commercial kitchens, schedule quarterly hydro-jetting to keep grease lines clear. We can also set up an annual maintenance plan that includes camera re-checks and preventive treatments, prolonging pipe life and avoiding costly emergency backups.
