FAQs

What does your “state-of-the-art equipment plumbing – drain opening” service involve?

Our technicians arrive in fully equipped vans that carry high-pressure hydro-jetting machines, commercial-grade electric augers, and HD sewer inspection cameras. We first diagnose the blockage with a camera (when access is available), then choose the most effective tool—usually hydro-jetting for grease and sludge or a sectional auger for roots and solid obstructions. The advanced gear lets us clear pipes faster, more thoroughly, and with less risk of pipe damage than old-style methods.

How quickly can you get to my home or business in Thorn Hill when I have a clogged drain?

Because we are based in Thorn Hill, we offer true local response times—typically within 60–90 minutes for emergencies and same-day scheduling for routine calls. Our dispatchers track technician locations in real time and route the nearest truck to you, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including weekends and holidays.

What kinds of drains can you service with this equipment?

Our equipment is adaptable to nearly every residential and light-commercial drain line in Thorn Hill, including kitchen sinks, bathroom sinks, tubs, showers, floor drains, laundry lines, main sewer laterals up to 12 inches in diameter, and even exterior storm drains. Different nozzle heads, cable sizes, and camera lengths allow us to tailor the solution to the exact pipe size and material.

Is high-pressure hydro-jetting safe for older or fragile pipes?

Yes—when done by trained professionals. We adjust water pressure and select special nozzles based on pipe material (cast iron, clay, PVC, or copper) and condition. For extremely brittle lines we may start with lower-pressure jetting or use a softer cable machine instead. Our technicians inspect the pipe visually or with cameras first to ensure the chosen method won’t compromise the integrity of your plumbing.

Do you provide preventative maintenance or follow-up inspections after the drain is cleared?

Absolutely. After clearing the blockage, we offer a complimentary post-clean camera inspection (where feasible) so you can see the restored flow and check for cracks, root intrusion, or grease buildup. We also provide customized maintenance plans—annual or semi-annual jetting—to keep high-use lines clear and greatly reduce the risk of future backups.

What does the service cost and are there any hidden fees?

Pricing is straightforward: we quote an up-front flat rate based on drain type, access point, and severity of the blockage. The quote includes travel, labor, use of specialized equipment, and a 30-day warranty on the cleared line. You will never see surcharges for evening, weekend, or holiday calls within Thorn Hill city limits, and we always get your approval before performing any additional work.
