FAQs
What types of drains can Advanced Tools Plumbing open in Calhoun?
Our technicians are equipped to clear kitchen sinks, bathroom sinks, tubs and showers, floor drains, laundry drains, downspout lines, main sewer lines, and even commercial floor or grease-trap drains. Whether the clog is caused by grease, hair, soap scum, food waste, or tree roots, we have the equipment and expertise to remove it quickly and safely.
What advanced tools do you use for drain opening?
We combine traditional mechanical snakes with state-of-the-art technology to tackle any blockage. Our arsenal includes high-torque sectional and drum machines for heavy roots, hydro-jetters that blast 3,000–4,000 psi water to scour pipe walls, fiber-optic sewer cameras to locate and diagnose problems, and pipe-locating transmitters to map buried lines. These tools allow us to open drains more efficiently and minimize the need for invasive digging or wall removal.
How fast can you respond to a clogged drain in the Calhoun area?
Because we are locally based, we offer same-day service for calls received before 3 p.m. and 24/7 emergency response for severe backups. Most customers in central Calhoun, Red Bud, and the Sonoraville area see a technician at their door within 60–90 minutes. We arrive in fully stocked vans so we can diagnose and correct the issue in a single visit whenever possible.
Is professional drain opening safe for my pipes and septic system?
Yes. Our team evaluates the pipe material (PVC, cast iron, clay, etc.) and age before selecting a method. Mechanical cabling is pressure-regulated to avoid cutting or cracking pipe walls, and hydro-jetter nozzles are chosen to match pipe diameter, ensuring proper cleaning without damage. When a septic system is involved, we use biodegradable degreasers and avoid chemicals that could harm beneficial bacteria.
How much does a drain opening service generally cost in Calhoun?
Prices vary by severity and accessibility. A straightforward sink or tub clog typically ranges from $125–$185. Hydro-jetting a main sewer line runs $300–$550, which includes camera inspection and a digital recording of the line’s condition. We provide an upfront, flat-rate quote before work begins, so you know exactly what to expect—no hourly surprises or hidden fees.
What can I do to prevent future drain clogs after your service?
We recommend installing mesh strainers over sinks and tub drains, avoiding pouring grease down kitchen drains, flushing only toilet paper, and scheduling an annual hydro-jetting or camera inspection if your home has mature trees or older pipes. We’ll leave you with personalized maintenance tips and can enroll you in our Preventive Care Plan, which includes discounted inspections and priority scheduling.
