FAQs
What makes your drain opening service eco-friendly?
Instead of relying on caustic, petroleum-based chemicals, we use biodegradable enzyme and plant-based solutions that break down grease, soap scum, and organic waste naturally. All products are certified non-toxic, release no harmful fumes, and are safe for local waterways once they leave your pipes. Our technicians also employ water-saving hydro-jetting equipment and recycle any removed debris whenever possible.
Are eco-friendly drain cleaners as effective as traditional chemical products?
Yes. Modern bio-enzymatic and plant-derived surfactants dissolve the same clog-causing materials—hair, food particles, fats, oils, and grease—without corroding pipes or harming the environment. For tougher obstructions we pair these products with mechanical methods (augers, hydro-jetting) to achieve the same or better results than harsh acids or lye-based cleaners.
Is your green drain cleaning safe for septic systems and older pipes?
Absolutely. Because our solutions are pH-neutral and non-corrosive, they will not damage cast iron, galvanized steel, copper, or PVC pipes, nor will they disturb the beneficial bacteria in septic tanks. In fact, enzyme formulas can improve septic performance by boosting the natural breakdown of solids.
How quickly can you respond to a clogged drain emergency in the Chattanooga area?
We provide same-day service throughout Chattanooga, East Ridge, Red Bank, Hixson, Lookout Mountain, and surrounding communities. Emergency calls received before 4 p.m. are usually handled within two hours, and we maintain a 24/7 dispatch line for after-hours or holiday blockages.
What can homeowners do to prevent future clogs in an environmentally responsible way?
• Use sink and tub strainers to catch hair and food scraps. • Once a month, pour a kettle of boiling water down kitchen drains to melt residual grease. • Add a cup of baking soda followed by a cup of white vinegar, let it fizz for 10 minutes, then flush with hot water. • Never pour fats, oils, or coffee grounds down the drain—collect them in a sealed container for disposal or composting. • Consider a quarterly professional eco-maintenance treatment that adds beneficial enzymes to keep lines clear.
Do eco-friendly drain opening services cost more than standard ones?
Prices are comparable to traditional chemical drain cleaning because the labor and equipment are the same. In many cases, customers save money long-term by avoiding pipe corrosion, premature replacements, and environmental fines. We provide upfront, flat-rate quotes before any work begins, and all eco-friendly treatments carry the same satisfaction guarantee.
