FAQs

What types of drains can you clear using your state-of-the-art tools in Rockford?

Our technicians can open virtually any residential or commercial drain, including kitchen sinks, bathroom sinks, tubs, showers, floor drains, laundry drains, main sewer lines, and storm drains. With high-pressure water jetters, flex-shaft cutters, and precision augers, we adapt the tool to the pipe diameter and clog type to ensure a safe, thorough clearing.

How quickly can you respond to an emergency drain clog in the Rockford area?

We provide 24/7 emergency service within Rockford and most surrounding suburbs. A licensed plumber is usually on site within 60–90 minutes of your call, day or night. Because our trucks are stocked with advanced drain-opening equipment, we’re ready to start working as soon as we arrive—no return trip required.

What modern equipment do your plumbers use to open stubborn drains?

We rely on high-pressure hydro-jetting units that blast water at up to 4,000 PSI to scour pipe walls, battery-powered flex-shaft machines that shave away roots and scale, and color HD sewer cameras to pinpoint the blockage. For delicate lines, we use compact inspection cables and low-torque micro-drain machines that clear clogs without stressing older pipes.

Will your drain opening service harm my pipes or fixtures?

No. Each tool is chosen to match your pipe material (PVC, cast iron, copper, or clay) and its condition. Hydro-jetting heads have adjustable pressure settings to prevent pipe damage, and our flex-shaft cutters remain centered in the line so they only remove obstructions, not pipe walls. Before starting, we perform a brief camera inspection when needed to verify the pipe’s integrity.

Do you offer camera inspections after the drain is cleared?

Yes. A complimentary post-clean camera inspection is standard with every main sewer or branch line opening. The live video lets you confirm that the blockage is gone and that the pipe is structurally sound. We can provide a digital recording and written report for your records or insurance claim at no extra cost.

How much does a typical drain opening cost in Rockford, and do you provide any guarantees?

Most residential sink, tub, or floor drain openings range from $99 to $189, while main sewer line jetting averages $275–$425 depending on length and blockage severity. All prices are quoted up-front before work begins. We back every drain opening with a 30-day no-clog guarantee for branch lines and a 6-month warranty for main sewers when a hydro-jetting and camera inspection are performed.
