FAQs
What types of drains can you open in Greenback homes and businesses?
Our technicians are trained and equipped to clear kitchen sinks, bathroom sinks, tubs, showers, floor drains, laundry drains, main sewer lines, and even exterior French drains. Whether it’s a residential bungalow or a commercial facility in Greenback, we have the right tools to restore proper flow.
How do you determine the cause of a clog before opening the drain?
We begin with a visual inspection and, when needed, perform a video camera inspection of the line. This lets us pinpoint whether the blockage is grease, hair, roots, scale, or a foreign object. Knowing the cause helps us choose the safest and most effective clearing method, such as snaking, hydro-jetting, or root cutting.
Is chemical drain cleaner safe to use before calling you?
Off-the-shelf chemical cleaners can damage older or PVC piping, harm the environment, and sometimes worsen the clog by solidifying debris. We recommend avoiding them. Instead, shut off water to the fixture if it’s overflowing and call our Greenback team—most minor blockages cost less to remove professionally than you might spend on repeated chemical treatments.
How soon can you arrive for an emergency drain opening in Greenback?
We provide 24/7 emergency service. In most Greenback neighborhoods, a licensed plumber can be at your door within 60–90 minutes, even on weekends and holidays. Our vans are fully stocked, so we resolve most emergencies in a single visit.
What does drain opening cost and do you offer upfront pricing?
Typical costs range from $99 for a straightforward sink auger job to $325+ for main line hydro-jetting. After diagnosing the problem on-site, we give you a flat, written quote before any work begins—no surprise fees for travel, equipment, or after-hours service in Greenback.
How can I prevent future clogs after my drain is opened?
1) Use drain strainers to catch hair and food scraps. 2) Never pour grease or coffee grounds down the sink—collect them in a container instead. 3) Flush only toilet paper in toilets (no wipes, even “flushable” ones). 4) Schedule annual maintenance jetting for tree-root-prone sewer lines. 5) Run hot water for 30 seconds after each use of the disposal to keep pipes clear. Following these steps, plus periodic professional inspections, dramatically lowers the chance of repeat blockages.
