FAQs
How quickly can you respond to a drain emergency in Harrison?
Our on-call plumbing team is based right here in Harrison, allowing us to reach most homes and businesses in 60 minutes or less—day or night. Because we stock our service vans with the most common drain-opening tools and replacement parts, we can usually diagnose the problem and start clearing the line during the initial visit, saving you time and money.
What techniques do you use to open stubborn or recurring clogs?
Depending on the location and severity of the blockage, we may deploy high-pressure hydro-jetting, professional-grade augers (drain snakes), sectional machines for larger sewer lines, or enzyme-based cleaners that are safe for the environment. Before we begin, we often run a video camera inspection to pinpoint the clog and choose the most effective, least invasive method.
Are your drain-opening services safe for older or fragile pipes?
Yes. We evaluate the age and material of your plumbing—cast iron, clay, PVC, or galvanized steel—before selecting a clearing method. For delicate lines, we use lower-pressure jetting heads, soft-shaft flex augers, or bio-enzymatic solutions to avoid stressing the pipe walls. If the inspection reveals severe corrosion or cracks, we’ll show you video evidence and discuss repair or replacement options before proceeding.
Do you offer upfront pricing and free estimates?
Absolutely. Once our technician inspects the drain and explains the recommended solution, you’ll receive a transparent, flat-rate quote that covers labor, equipment, and standard materials—no hidden fees. If multiple repair options exist, we’ll price each one so you can choose what best fits your budget.
What signs indicate that I need professional drain opening instead of a DIY fix?
• Water backs up in multiple fixtures at once (e.g., toilet and shower). • Gurgling sounds or foul odors persist after basic plunging. • Drains remain slow even after using a household snake or enzyme cleaner. • You notice recurring clogs in the same line within weeks or months. These red flags often point to deeper obstructions, root intrusion, or pipe damage that require professional equipment and expertise.
How can I prevent future clogs after you clear my drains?
We recommend scheduling an annual camera inspection and maintenance flush to keep lines clear. At home, avoid pouring grease or coffee grounds down the sink, use hair traps in showers, and flush only toilet paper. For businesses, installing grease traps and setting up a routine hydro-jetting plan can dramatically reduce buildup. Our technician will leave you with tailored preventive tips before finishing the job.
