FAQs
What cutting-edge technology do you use to open drains in Shelbyville?
Our technicians combine high-pressure hydro-jetting, motorized flex-shaft machines, and HD sewer video inspection cameras. Hydro-jetting scours pipe walls with water at up to 4,000 PSI, the flex-shaft system mechanically removes tough roots and scale without chemicals, and the inspection camera lets us confirm the blockage is fully cleared and the pipe integrity is intact.
How fast can you arrive if I have an emergency clog?
We offer 24/7 emergency dispatch within Shelbyville city limits. In most cases a licensed plumber is on site within 60â90 minutes. Our GPS-equipped fleet lets us route the closest technician to you, minimizing wait time and water damage risk.
Will your high-pressure methods damage old or fragile pipes?
Before any hydro-jetting, we run a camera through the line to evaluate pipe material and condition. Pressure settings and nozzle types are then adjusted to match the pipeâs age and diameter, ensuring a thorough clean without compromising clay, cast-iron, or aging PVC lines. If we feel hydro-jetting is unsafe, we switch to gentler cable or flex-shaft cleaning instead.
Do you provide a video or report after the work is done?
Yes. After clearing the line we perform a post-clean inspection and email or text you the HD video link along with a written condition report. This documentation is useful for insurance claims, property sales, and future maintenance planning.
What does professional drain opening typically cost?
Standard residential snaking starts at $129. Hydro-jetting packages, which include pre- and post-camera inspections, average $325â$495 depending on line length and severity of buildup. All pricing is quoted up front, and there are no weekend or after-hours surcharges inside Shelbyville.
How can I prevent my drains from clogging again?
Schedule an annual camera inspection, avoid flushing wipes or grease, install mesh strainers in sinks and tubs, and consider a proactive hydro-jetting every 18â24 months if you have mature trees near sewer lines. We also offer an enzyme-based maintenance treatment you can pour monthly to keep bio-film from accumulating.
