FAQs
What kinds of drain problems can your state-of-the-art equipment fix?
Our technicians can clear everything from simple hair or soap clogs to severe tree-root intrusions and grease blockages. With high-definition camera inspection, hydro jetting up to 4,000 psi, and specialty cutting heads, we can restore flow in kitchen sinks, tubs, floor drains, main sewer lines, and commercial grease lines—without guesswork.
How is your modern drain-opening technology better than a traditional cable snake?
Conventional snaking simply bores a small hole through the obstruction, which often leaves residue that quickly re-clogs. Our process begins with a video inspection to locate the exact blockage. We then use hydro jetting or powered sectional machines with smart heads that scour the full interior diameter of the pipe, removing scale, sludge, and roots. The result is a cleaner pipe, longer-lasting results, and fewer call-backs.
Is hydro jetting safe for older or fragile pipes in Oakdale homes?
Yes—when performed by certified professionals. We first evaluate pipe material and condition via camera. For older clay or cast-iron lines, we adjust pressure, use wide-spray nozzles, and insert a backflow prevention bladder to avoid water intrusion. If the line is too deteriorated, we recommend alternative methods or trenchless repair instead of jetting.
How fast can you handle emergency drain backups in the Oakdale area?
We offer 24/7 emergency service with a local dispatch center. Most customers receive same-day service within 90 minutes. Our fully stocked vans carry cameras, jetters, and replacement parts, so we finish 95 % of jobs during the first visit—reducing downtime for households and businesses alike.
Will your drain-opening service disrupt my home or business operations?
Minimal disruption is a core goal. Our technicians use drop cloths, boot covers, and negative-air containment when indoors. Hydro jetting units stay outside, running quiet, emission-controlled engines. For businesses, we can schedule after-hours or weekend service, and we provide written Job Hazard Analyses (JHAs) to satisfy safety managers.
What maintenance should I do after a professional drain opening to keep lines clear?
1) Schedule an annual camera inspection, especially for sewer laterals with past root issues. 2) Use bacterial drain treatments monthly—avoid chemical caustics. 3) Install hair and food-catch strainers in sinks and tubs. 4) For restaurants, adhere to grease-trap cleaning intervals. 5) Never flush wipes, feminine products, or excessive paper. Following these steps helps extend the clean-pipe benefit you gain from our advanced service.
