FAQs
What are the most common signs that I need professional drain-opening service in Maynardville?
Slow-draining sinks or tubs, water backing up into fixtures, gurgling noises from pipes, unpleasant sewer odors, and repeated clogs even after using a plunger all point to a blockage that household remedies can’t solve. If you notice any of these symptoms, calling a licensed Maynardville plumber prevents further pipe damage and potential sewage spills.
What techniques do your plumbers use to clear clogged drains?
After diagnosing the blockage with a video inspection camera, we choose the safest, most effective method: high-pressure hydro-jetting for grease and sludge, motorized drain augers (snakes) for hair and small obstructions, and sectional cable machines or root-cutting blades for tree-root intrusions in main sewer lines. Each method restores full flow without damaging your plumbing.
Is it OK to pour chemical drain cleaners down my pipes before I call you?
We do not recommend it. Store-bought drain cleaners contain corrosive acids or lye that can eat away at older metal or PVC piping, void pipe warranties, and create toxic fumes. They also make our mechanical equipment and work area hazardous. Instead, shut off water to the affected fixture and give us a call—our professional tools clear clogs safely and permanently.
How much does professional drain opening cost in the Maynardville area?
Most simple residential drain openings range from $95 to $225, depending on the fixture, clog severity, and ease of access. Stubborn main-line blockages that require hydro-jetting or extensive root removal can run $300–$550. We provide upfront, flat-rate quotes after an inspection, so you always know the cost before work begins.
Do you offer 24/7 emergency drain-opening services?
Yes. Clogs can happen any time, and a backed-up sewer line can quickly lead to flooding and health hazards. Our emergency team is on call 24 hours a day, 7 days a week in Maynardville and surrounding Union County communities. We arrive with fully stocked service vehicles ready to restore flow immediately.
What steps can I take to prevent clogs after you’ve cleared my drains?
Use drain strainers to catch hair and food particles, avoid pouring grease or coffee grounds down the sink, flush only toilet paper (no wipes, cotton balls, or hygiene products), and run hot water with a mild detergent down kitchen drains weekly. Scheduling annual or bi-annual professional pipe inspections and hydro-jetting for high-use lines also keeps your plumbing in top condition.
