FAQs
What types of state-of-the-art equipment do you use to open drains in Harriman?
Our technicians arrive in fully equipped service vans that carry high-pressure hydro-jetters, sectional and continuous-feed power augers, video inspection cameras with HD recording, and electronic pipe-location tools. This modern equipment allows us to clear blockages quickly, identify the exact cause of the clog, and verify that the line is completely clean before we leave.
How does hydro-jetting differ from traditional snaking, and when do you recommend it?
Traditional snaking (or cabling) breaks through obstructions with a rotating steel cable, creating a flow path. Hydro-jetting propels water at 3,000–4,000 PSI through a specialized nozzle, scouring the full pipe diameter and flushing away grease, scale, and debris. We typically recommend hydro-jetting for heavy grease buildup, recurring clogs, or commercial lines where long-term cleanliness is critical. After inspecting the line with a camera, we advise the best option for your specific situation.
Will your drain-opening process damage my pipes or landscaping?
No. Our modern equipment is designed for safety and minimal disruption. Video inspection lets us target the blockage precisely, so we only work where necessary. Hydro-jetting uses controlled water pressure that is safe for PVC, cast iron, and copper lines when performed by a trained professional. For outdoor drains, trenchless access points and surface clean-outs help us avoid digging up your yard.
Do you offer 24/7 emergency drain service in Harriman, and how quickly can you arrive?
Yes. We provide emergency drain opening 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including holidays. Because we’re based near Harriman, our on-call team can typically be at your door within 60–90 minutes for urgent blockages, sewer backups, or flooded basements.
What steps do you take to prevent future clogs after the line is cleared?
After clearing the drain, we run a video inspection to confirm the pipe is fully clean and to spot any issues such as root intrusions, bellies, or deteriorated pipe walls. If we see a recurring problem, we may recommend root-treatment foams, enzyme drain maintenance, or scheduling a preventative hydro-jetting service every 12–24 months. We also educate you on proper disposal of grease, wipes, and other clog-causing materials.
How much does professional drain opening cost, and is your work guaranteed?
Pricing depends on the severity and location of the clog, the drain size, and whether hydro-jetting or standard snaking is required. Most residential drain openings in Harriman range from $150 to $450, while complex sewer main hydro-jetting jobs may be higher. We provide upfront, flat-rate quotes before work begins. All drain openings are backed by a 30-day clog-free guarantee for the cleared section; if it backs up again within that period, we’ll return at no charge.
