FAQs
How often should I schedule routine drain maintenance for my Etowah home?
Most residential drains benefit from professional maintenance once a year. If your household has a garbage disposal, multiple large trees near the sewer line, or frequent guests, consider service every 6–9 months to prevent clogs and buildup.
What are the signs that my drains need professional opening rather than a DIY fix?
Slow drainage in multiple fixtures, recurring clogs, gurgling sounds, foul odors, or water backing up in sinks, tubs, or floor drains indicate a deeper blockage that store-bought chemicals or plungers can’t reach. These symptoms mean it’s time for a licensed plumber to inspect and clear the line.
What methods do your Etowah plumbers use to open stubborn drains safely?
We start with a camera inspection to locate the blockage. Depending on its type and location, we use mechanical augers (drain snakes), high-pressure hydro-jetting, or enzymatic cleaners. Hydro-jetting scours pipe walls with water, removing grease, soap scum, and roots without harsh chemicals, protecting both your plumbing and the environment.
Is hydro-jetting safe for older or PVC pipes?
Yes—when performed by a trained technician. We adjust water pressure to match pipe material and condition. For brittle or fragile lines, we may recommend low-pressure jetting or traditional snaking to avoid damage, and we always conduct a camera inspection before and after service.
Will routine drain maintenance reduce emergency plumbing calls?
Absolutely. Regular cleaning removes buildup before it causes a full blockage, reducing the risk of sudden backups, burst pipes, or sewage spills. Homeowners who follow an annual maintenance plan typically see 50–70% fewer emergency visits, saving significant time and money.
Do you offer any maintenance plans for Etowah residents?
Yes. Our Etowah Routine Drain Care Plan includes one annual whole-house drain cleaning, priority scheduling, a 10% discount on additional plumbing work, and free camera inspections with each visit. It’s an affordable way to keep your drains flowing smoothly year-round.
