FAQs
What cutting-edge equipment do you use to open drains in Etowah?
Our technicians arrive with a fully stocked service van that includes high-pressure hydro-jetting rigs (4,000 PSI), sectional and continuous-feed drain machines, battery-powered mini-jets for fixtures, and HD sewer inspection cameras with self-leveling heads. We also carry locating transmitters so we can pinpoint trouble spots underground without digging. This combination lets us clear blockages quickly and verify that the line is completely clean before we leave.
Can hydro-jetting damage older or fragile pipes?
When performed by a trained professional, hydro-jetting is safe for most residential and commercial plumbing systems, including older clay or cast-iron lines. We start each job with a camera inspection to assess pipe condition and select the correct nozzle, water pressure, and flow rate. If we see deterioration, we adjust the pressure or recommend alternative methods such as low-torque cable cleaning to protect the pipe’s integrity.
How soon can you respond to a drain emergency in Etowah?
Because we are a local Etowah service team, we offer 24/7 emergency dispatch with typical on-site arrival times of 60–90 minutes. Our GPS-tracked trucks let our dispatcher send the closest technician to your address, even after hours, weekends, and holidays. There is no additional travel fee for customers within Etowah city limits.
What kinds of drains do you service?
We clear every type of residential and light-commercial drain, including kitchen sinks, tubs, showers, floor drains, laundry lines, toilet stacks, main sewer laterals up to 12 inches in diameter, and exterior French drains or yard lines. Our equipment and cable sets range from 1⁄4-inch micro cables for fixture traps to 7⁄8-inch heavy-duty sectional cables for long main lines, so we can match the tool to the job.
Will you show me video proof that the clog is gone?
Yes. After cleaning, we feed our HD inspection camera through the line and display a live video feed on a tablet. You will see the pipe walls are clear of grease, roots, and debris. We can also provide a digital recording and written condition report for your records or for submission to homeowners insurance if needed.
What preventive maintenance options do you offer after the drain is opened?
To keep your drains flowing, we offer annual or semi-annual jetting plans, bio-enzymatic drain treatments that break down grease safely, and root-inhibiting foams for properties with heavy tree growth. We can schedule automatic reminders and provide a discounted bundled rate for customers who enroll in our Etowah Preferred Maintenance Program.
