FAQs
What are common signs that I need professional drain-opening service?
Slow-moving water, gurgling or bubbling noises, recurring clogs, unpleasant odours, and water backing up into sinks, tubs, or floor drains all indicate a blockage that household plungers can’t handle. If you notice any of these symptoms in your Reliance home or business, it’s time to schedule a professional drain-opening visit before the blockage grows and causes water damage.
What techniques do your plumbers use to clear stubborn clogs?
Our licensed technicians start with a video camera inspection to pinpoint the exact location and cause of the blockage. Depending on what we find, we’ll use the most effective method: mechanical snaking for typical hair or soap build-ups, high-pressure hydro-jetting for grease and scale, or sectional cable machines for tree-root intrusions. We finish with a follow-up camera pass to ensure the line is fully cleared and flowing freely.
Is it safe to pour chemical drain cleaners before calling you?
Store-bought chemical cleaners are harsh, can weaken older pipes, and may create toxic fumes in confined spaces. They seldom remove the entire obstruction and can even solidify around it, making professional removal harder. For safety and to avoid pipe damage, we recommend skipping chemicals and letting our team use mechanical or water-based methods that are tough on clogs but gentle on your plumbing system.
How much does professional drain opening cost in Reliance?
Pricing depends on pipe size, clog location, and the required clearing method. Basic residential sink or tub drains generally start around $125–$175. Main sewer line work that involves camera diagnosis or hydro-jetting ranges from $250–$450. We provide a flat, upfront quote after our on-site assessment, so you’ll know the exact cost before work begins—no surprise add-ons or hourly charges.
Will drain-opening damage my pipes or fixtures?
No. Our tools are designed specifically for plumbing systems. Power augers have protective cable sheaths, while hydro-jetting operates at pressures matched to your pipe material so it scrubs buildup without etching or pitting the walls. We also avoid chemical solvents that could corrode joints. By using video inspection before and after, we confirm your lines remain intact and leak-free.
What can I do to prevent future drain clogs?
1) Install hair catchers in shower and tub drains. 2) Keep cooking grease out of sinks—collect it in a container and dispose of it in the trash. 3) Run cold water for 20–30 seconds after using the disposal to flush debris. 4) Schedule annual camera inspections for older homes with clay or cast-iron sewer lines to spot early root intrusions. 5) Consider an enzyme-based monthly maintenance treatment to break down organic buildup. Following these steps reduces the likelihood of emergency blockages and prolongs the life of your plumbing.
