FAQs
What types of drains can you open and clear?
Our licensed plumbers can safely clear kitchen sinks, bathroom sinks, tubs, showers, floor drains, laundry drains, toilet lines, and main sewer laterals. Whether the clog is caused by grease, hair, soap scum, roots, or foreign objects, we have the right tools to restore proper flow.
What methods do you use to unclog drains?
We begin with video inspection when needed to locate the blockage, then select the most effective technique: high-speed cable snaking, hydro-jetting for tough buildup, or sectional root-cutting blades for intrusive roots. For fragile or older pipes, we use low-pressure flushing and enzymatic cleaners to avoid damage.
Are your drain opening services available 24/7 in Monterey?
Yes. Clogs don’t keep business hours, so our dispatch center is staffed around the clock. A certified technician can usually be at your Monterey address within 60–90 minutes, day or night, weekends and holidays included.
How much does it cost to have a drain opened?
For most residential interior drains the price ranges from $129 to $249, which includes diagnosis, cable clearing up to 75 ft, and a follow-up flow test. Hydro-jetting, roof access, or exterior sewer lines may increase the cost. We always provide a firm, written quote before any work starts.
What should I do before the plumber arrives?
Clear a path to the affected fixture, remove items from under sinks or around floor drains, and avoid using chemical drain cleaners—they can be hazardous when mixed with professional equipment. If water is overflowing, shut off the fixture’s supply valve or the home’s main valve and try to keep the area dry.
Do you offer any warranty or guarantee for the drain opening service?
Absolutely. All standard drain cleanings carry a 30-day clog-free guarantee; if the same line backs up within that period, we return at no charge. Hydro-jetted sewer mains include a six-month warranty. We also provide digital inspection footage and maintenance tips to help prevent future blockages.
