FAQs
How do I know if I need professional drain opening services?
Common signs include slow-draining sinks or showers, frequent clogs, unusual odors coming from your drains, and gurgling sounds in pipes or toilets. If you notice any of these issues persisting, professional drain opening services will help prevent more serious problems like pipe damage or sewage backups.
What methods do you use to open clogged drains?
Our expert plumbers use specialized tools such as plumbing snakes (augers), hydro-jetting equipment, and powered rooters to safely clear blockages. We always choose the method most suitable for your specific drainage system, ensuring thorough removal of clogs without harming your pipes.
How long does a professional drain opening appointment usually take?
The duration depends on factors like the severity of the clog, the type of drain, and the tools required. Simple clogs often take less than an hour to resolve. More extensive blockages or multiple clogged drains can require more time, and our plumbers will give you a clear estimate once they’ve assessed the situation.
Are chemical drain cleaners safe to use before calling a plumber?
While some over-the-counter chemical cleaners can clear minor clogs, they may also corrode your pipes if used too frequently or improperly. Moreover, if a blockage is deep or severe, chemical treatments might only provide temporary relief. It’s best to consult a professional for a safe, long-lasting solution.
What can I do to prevent future drain clogs?
Regular maintenance is key. Dispose of cooking grease, coffee grounds, and food scraps in the trash rather than down the drain. Use hair catchers in shower and bathroom drains, and run hot water periodically to help flush out any buildup. Scheduling routine inspections with a Maryville plumber also helps detect potential problems early.
Will I have to replace my pipes if they keep clogging?
Not necessarily. Persistent clogs can often be resolved through professional drain opening methods like hydro-jetting, which clears out even the toughest buildup. However, if your plumbing system is old or extensively damaged, a professional inspection could reveal that certain sections of pipe may need to be repaired or replaced. We always explore the most cost-effective solutions before recommending pipe replacement.
