FAQs

What is a drain opening service and why is it important?

Drain opening service involves the process of clearing blockages and cleaning out your drainage system to ensure smooth water flow. Over time, plumbing systems can accumulate grease, hair, food particles, and other debris that hinder proper drainage. Regular drain opening not only prevents clogs and backups but also extends the lifespan of your plumbing system by reducing wear and tear.

How do I know if my drain needs to be opened?

Common signs that indicate your drain may require professional attention include slow drainage, unpleasant odors emanating from the drain, recurring blockages, and water backups. If you notice these symptoms, it’s a good idea to get your drainage system inspected and cleared before minor issues turn into major problems that could lead to significant water damage.

What techniques are used in drain opening?

Plumbers use a variety of effective methods to open drains. These include manual techniques like snaking or augering to dislodge blockages, high-pressure water jetting for deep cleaning of the pipes, and in some cases, environmentally friendly chemical agents that help break down stubborn clogs. The chosen method will depend on the type and severity of the blockage as well as the material and layout of your plumbing system.

How long does it take to complete a drain opening service?

The duration of the drain opening service depends on the complexity of the blockage and the extent of the cleaning required. For a standard residential blockage, the process can take anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour. More complicated cases, especially where multiple drain lines are involved or there is significant buildup, may take longer. Your plumber will provide an estimated time frame after diagnosing the specific issue.

Can drain opening help prevent future plumbing issues?

Absolutely. Regular drain cleaning and opening help maintain optimal water flow and prevent the accumulation of debris that can lead to clogs and pipe damage. By scheduling periodic maintenance, you ensure that minor blockages are addressed before they evolve into major issues, ultimately saving you time, money, and inconvenience in the long run.

Is drain opening safe for all types of plumbing systems?

Drain opening services are generally safe for most plumbing systems when performed by experienced professionals. The techniques used are tailored to suit different pipe materials including PVC, cast iron, and copper. However, it is important to inform your plumber about the age and type of your system so that they can choose the most appropriate method and avoid any potential damage.

What our customers say

I contracted with HEP to install a drain strip in a slab outside my garage door (water in heavy rains would flood the garage and then my den). They sent out two men who did a great job. The task took longer then they estimated, but they did a really nice installation. It looks like it was there when the slab was installed. What they did in a day and a half would have taken me 6 weeks to do. It cost a little more then I expected, but it was worth it. This is just one of many projects I have had done by HEP, all of which I was happy with.

I recommend Hep to everyone I know. Their service is always outstanding. I had been dealing with my home warranty company over a stoppage for 5 days with no-one who could unclog it. I called HEP and they sent Nathan Hardesty to my house in 2 hours ans he fixed the clog in no time!! He was extremely professional, cleaned up everything when he was done and gave me very clear explantions of what the issue was and what was done to fix it! I can't thank him enough or Hep!! They are the best!!! Also a big thank you to Nick Hardesty and Jesse George for helping out as well!!! Hep has the best service in town!!!

Had drain clog issue. Called HEP for service. The staff was very nice and scheduled appointment. Plumbing Specialist Nathan Hardesty was great. He took the time to listen, check the issue and made the repairs . He made sure to clean after the work was finished. Thanks for a great experience with repairs.

After calling several local plumbers, finally called HEP... very helpful young lady answered and set up a plumber to come out the same day. We had been out of water all day and Nathan Hardesty showed just after 7 pm, as he said he would and went right to work. In just over 30 minutes he had crawled under my house and fixed the problem. Very pleasant young man as was his helper. The price was a little higher than I anticipated, but well worth it since I didn't have to crawl under the house. Future needs will call HEP again and hope they send Nathan and his partner out again.
