FAQs
What types of drains can you unclog in Sequatchie homes and businesses?
Our licensed plumbers handle every common residential and commercial drain in Sequatchie, including kitchen sinks, bathroom sinks, tubs, showers, floor drains, laundry drains, toilet lines, main sewer laterals, and perimeter French drains. Whether the blockage is caused by grease, hair, soap scum, tree roots, or foreign objects, we have the equipment and experience to clear it safely and restore full flow.
How quickly can your plumbers reach my Sequatchie property for emergency drain opening?
Because we are headquartered right here in Sequatchie County, our on-call technicians can typically be at your door within 60–90 minutes of your call, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. For true emergencies—such as sewage backing up into the home—we dispatch the closest available crew immediately and keep you updated on their exact arrival time via text or phone.
What methods do you use to clear stubborn blockages without damaging my pipes?
We start with the least invasive method that will solve the problem. Small to moderate clogs are usually removed with professional-grade augers or cable machines. For heavy, deep, or recurring blockages, we use high-pressure hydro-jetting, which scours the full pipe diameter without harsh chemicals. If our video inspection shows structural issues, we can recommend trenchless pipe repair options to eliminate the root cause while preserving your landscaping.
Are your drain opening services safe for septic systems common in rural Sequatchie?
Yes. Many Sequatchie properties rely on septic tanks, so we avoid caustic chemicals that could upset the bacterial balance. Our mechanical snaking and hydro-jetting techniques remove clogs while protecting the tank and leach field. If we find signs that your septic system itself is contributing to slow drains, we will explain your options for pumping, inspection, or repairs.
Will you provide a cost estimate before beginning drain opening work?
Absolutely. After a quick on-site assessment, our technician explains the cause of the clog, outlines the recommended solution, and presents a written, upfront price. There are no surprise add-ons—if additional work is needed (for example, root cutting after the initial unclog), we get your approval first. We also waive the service call fee when you authorize the repair during the same visit.
How can I prevent future clogs after your timely intervention service?
We’ll give you a customized maintenance plan before we leave, but general tips include: keep cooking grease in a container, not down the sink; install hair-catching strainers in showers; flush only toilet paper—no wipes or feminine products; run hot water for 30 seconds after using the garbage disposal; schedule an annual hydro-jetting or camera inspection if you have mature trees near your sewer line; and consider enzymatic drain treatments that are septic-safe. Following these steps will greatly reduce the likelihood of another blockage.
