FAQs

What modern techniques do you use to open clogged drains in Fayetteville?

We rely on advanced methods such as high-pressure hydro-jetting, motorized drain augers, and in-line video camera inspections. Hydro-jetting blasts away stubborn clogs and buildup with water pressure up to 4,000 psi, while motorized augers mechanically cut through obstructions. Video inspection lets us pinpoint the exact clog location and verify that the line is fully cleared before we finish.

How does hydro-jetting differ from traditional snaking?

Traditional snaking uses a rotating cable to punch a hole through blockages, which may leave behind residue that can cause future clogs. Hydro-jetting, on the other hand, scours the entire pipe diameter with high-pressure water, removing grease, mineral scale, and tree roots. This provides a more thorough cleaning, restores full flow capacity, and often keeps drains clear longer than snaking alone.

Is hydro-jetting safe for older or PVC pipes?

Yes. Before hydro-jetting, we perform a camera inspection to assess pipe condition and material. We adjust water pressure to suit each pipe type—lower settings for fragile or older lines, higher for durable sewer mains. When done by trained professionals, hydro-jetting is safe for cast iron, clay, and PVC piping and can even extend pipe life by eliminating corrosive buildup.

How quickly can you respond to a drain emergency in Fayetteville?

We offer 24/7 emergency service throughout Fayetteville and the surrounding area. Most calls are answered within 60 minutes, and our fully stocked service vans carry the equipment needed to resolve 95% of drain issues on the first visit. If you call after hours, our on-call technician is dispatched immediately.

Will you need to dig up my yard to clear a main sewer line clog?

In most cases, no. Our trenchless technologies—hydro-jetting, pipe bursting, and cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) lining—allow us to clear or even rehabilitate sewer lines through small access points. Excavation is only required if the pipe has collapsed or lacks sufficient structural integrity for trenchless repair, and we will discuss all options with you before proceeding.

How much does professional drain opening cost in Fayetteville?

Pricing depends on factors such as drain size, clog location, and technique required. Simple interior drains start around $99–$149, while main sewer line hydro-jetting typically ranges from $275–$550. We provide a flat-rate quote after inspection, so you know the exact cost before work begins. All services include a post-job camera inspection and a 30-day workmanship guarantee.
