FAQs
What signs indicate I need professional drain-opening service?
Slow-moving water, recurring clogs, foul odors, gurgling sounds, or water backing up into sinks, tubs, or floor drains all suggest a blockage deep in the system. If household remedies stop working or the problem comes back quickly, it’s time for a professional assessment with our camera inspection and advanced clearing tools.
What state-of-the-art techniques do you use to clear drains in Pelham?
We pair high-definition video camera inspections with electronic line tracing to pinpoint the exact clog location and pipe condition. For removal, we deploy hydro-jetting that blasts water at up to 4,000 psi, sectional electric machines with self-adjusting blades, and bio-enzymatic treatments that dissolve organic buildup without harsh chemicals. If pipe damage is found, we also offer trenchless spot repairs to minimize digging.
Is hydro-jetting safe for older or fragile plumbing?
Yes. Before hydro-jetting, our technicians inspect the pipe interior with a camera to verify structural integrity and select the proper pressure setting and nozzle type. For brittle cast-iron or clay lines, we use reduced pressure and specialized rotating nozzles that scour gently. If the pipe is too weak, we recommend alternative mechanical augering or localized pipe lining instead of jetting.
How fast can you respond to a drain emergency in Pelham?
We maintain on-call crews within Westchester County 24/7. In most Pelham neighborhoods we arrive in 60–90 minutes for true emergencies such as sewage backup. For non-urgent service, same-day or next-morning scheduling is typical. Our fully stocked vans carry jetters, cameras, and replacement parts so we can resolve most issues on the first visit.
Will your drain-opening service help prevent future clogs?
Absolutely. After clearing the line, we provide a complimentary pipe-wall video replay so you can see the results. We then apply a root-inhibiting foam where tree intrusion is a risk and may recommend periodic enzyme treatments. For grease-prone commercial lines, we can set up planned maintenance jetting to keep the pipe interior polished and free-flowing year-round.
What does professional drain opening cost and is there a warranty?
Pricing depends on line length, clog severity, and technique required. Residential kitchen or bathroom lines typically range $150–$350; main sewer jetting with video confirmation averages $450–$650. We provide upfront flat-rate quotes before work begins. All drain opening services include a 30-day clog-free warranty, and hydro-jetting packages extend coverage to 6 months when combined with recommended maintenance treatments.
