FAQs
What industry-leading methods do you use to open clogged drains in Thorn Hill?
Our technicians combine high-pressure hydro-jetting, CCTV camera inspections, and mechanical cable augers. Hydro-jetting blasts water at up to 4,000 psi to scour pipe walls clean, while camera inspections pinpoint blockages and verify that the line is completely cleared. For tougher obstructions like tree roots, we use sectional or continuous cable machines fitted with cutting heads to restore full flow without damaging your pipes.
How quickly can you respond to a drain emergency in Thorn Hill?
We offer 24/7 emergency dispatch and can usually arrive anywhere in Thorn Hill within 60â90 minutes. Because our vans are fully stocked with jetting units, cameras, and replacement parts, most drains are opened during the first visit, minimizing downtime and water damage risk.
Will hydro-jetting damage my older plumbing pipes?
No. Before jetting, we inspect the line with a camera to confirm it can withstand high pressure. We adjust PSI levels to suit the pipe materialâlower settings for fragile clay or galvanized steel, higher for newer PVC or ABS. This targeted approach removes buildup safely, extending the service life of your existing system.
What signs indicate I need professional drain opening rather than store-bought chemicals?
Call us if you notice recurring clogs, water backing up into multiple fixtures, gurgling toilets, bad sewer odours, or slow drains that chemicals only temporarily fix. Chemical cleaners can corrode pipes and push blockages deeper; our mechanical and hydro-jetting solutions fully clear the line and identify root causes.
How much does a professional drain opening service cost in Thorn Hill?
Prices start at $189 for a standard kitchen or bathroom line opened with a cable auger. Hydro-jetting and camera inspection packages begin around $349. We provide a firm, upfront quote after assessing the blockage; there are no hidden fees for evenings, weekends, or holidays.
Do you guarantee your drain opening work?
Yes. We back every drain opening with a 90-day clog-free warranty. If the same line backs up within that period, we return and clear it at no charge. For customers who schedule an optional camera inspection, the warranty extends to 180 days because we can verify the line is completely clean and defect-free.
