FAQs
What types of drains can you open in Tellico Plains homes and businesses?
Our licensed plumbers can clear virtually any residential or light-commercial drain in Tellico Plains, including kitchen sinks, bathroom sinks, tubs, showers, floor drains, laundry drains, main sewer lines, and even exterior French drains and downspout lines. Whether your property is on city sewer or a private septic system, we have the right equipment to restore full flow.
How do I know if I need professional drain opening instead of store-bought chemicals?
Chemical drain cleaners seldom reach the root of the problem and can damage older copper or PVC pipes, which are common in Tellico Plains. Call a professional when you notice slow drainage, repeated clogs, gurgling noises, foul odors, or water backing up into another fixture. We’ll pinpoint the blockage with video inspection and remove it completely, preventing expensive pipe damage and recurring clogs.
What methods do your plumbers use to clear stubborn clogs?
We choose the safest, most effective technique for your situation. Options include high-speed cable snaking, hydro-jetting (a high-pressure water process that scours pipe walls), enzymatic root and grease treatments, and minimally invasive sectional pipe replacement if the line is crushed. Before and after every job, we can run a camera through the line to verify that the blockage is gone and the pipe is intact.
Are your drain opening services safe for older plumbing systems and septic tanks common in Tellico Plains?
Yes. Many Tellico Plains homes were built decades ago and still rely on cast-iron, clay, or Orangeburg piping and on-site septic tanks. Our technicians assess pipe material and wastewater setup before starting work. We avoid harsh chemicals, regulate jetting pressure, and use bio-safe treatments that will not upset the bacteria balance in your septic tank. Protecting your system’s longevity is always our priority.
How much does a typical drain opening service cost and what factors affect the price?
Simple sink or tub clogs usually run $125-$175. Main line cleaning or hydro-jetting can range from $250-$450, depending on pipe length, clog severity, and whether after-hours service is required. We provide a flat, upfront quote before any work begins, and there are never hidden travel fees for addresses within the Tellico Plains service area.

Absolutely. We answer our phones 24/7 and keep an on-call crew for nights, weekends, and holidays.
