FAQs
What does “upfront pricing” mean for drain opening services in Benton?
Upfront pricing means you’ll know the exact cost of your drain opening service before any work begins. After inspecting the clog, our technician provides a written, flat-rate quote that covers labor, equipment, and any necessary materials. The amount you approve is the amount you pay—no hourly charges, hidden fees, or surprise add-ons at the end of the job.
How much does a typical drain opening cost?
For most residential clogs in Benton, our upfront prices range between $99 and $249. The final quote depends on factors such as the location of the clog (kitchen sink, tub, main line, etc.), accessibility of the clean-out, and the severity of the blockage. Complex main-line or tree-root intrusions may cost more because they require heavier equipment or additional labor, but the price is always quoted before work starts.
What is included in the drain opening service?
The quoted price includes a visual inspection, mechanical snaking (or hydro-jetting if required), clearing the blockage, cleanup of the immediate work area, and a post-service camera check on main sewer lines when applicable. If we discover a larger issue—such as pipe damage or root infiltration—we’ll explain the findings, give repair options, and provide a separate upfront quote; you’re never obligated to proceed.
Is the drain opening service guaranteed?
Yes. All standard drain openings come with a 30-day clog-free guarantee. If the same fixture backs up within that period, we’ll return and clear it again at no charge. For main sewer lines cleared with hydro-jetting, the guarantee extends to 90 days, provided no foreign objects or misuse caused the repeat blockage.
How soon can you get to my Benton home?
We offer same-day service on calls placed before 2:00 p.m. and 24/7 emergency response for severe backups. When you book, our dispatcher gives you a two-hour arrival window, and the technician calls when en route. Because pricing is upfront, you don’t pay extra for evening or weekend appointments—rates are the same around the clock.
What methods do you use to clear drains, and are they safe for my pipes?
Our primary tools are professional cable (snake) machines and hydro-jetters. Snaking breaks up and retrieves clogs with a rotating steel cable, while hydro-jetting uses high-pressure water to scour the pipe walls clear of grease, scale, and roots. Both methods are safe for properly installed PVC, ABS, cast iron, and clay sewer lines. We avoid harsh chemicals that can damage pipes or harm the environment.
