FAQs
What does “up-front pricing” mean for your drain-opening service in Chattanooga?
Up-front pricing means that before any work begins our technician will diagnose the clog, present you with a firm, written price for the drain opening, and obtain your approval. The quote includes trip charge, labor, equipment, and disposal fees, so there are no hidden add-ons when the job is finished.
How much does a typical drain opening cost in Chattanooga?
Most standard interior drains (kitchen, bath, or laundry) run between $99 and $189, depending on the severity and accessibility of the clog. Main sewer line openings usually range from $225 to $350. We always provide the exact price in writing on-site before we start, and we honor advertised coupons for the Chattanooga area.
What types of drains can you open and clean?
We service every residential and light-commercial drain line, including kitchen sinks, bathroom sinks, tubs, showers, floor drains, laundry lines, toilets, and main sewer laterals up to 6" in diameter. If you’re unsure about a specific fixture, just call our office—the initial phone consultation is free.
Do you offer emergency drain opening, and how quickly can you arrive?
Yes. We have on-call plumbers 24/7 for the greater Chattanooga region, including Hixson, East Brainerd, Ooltewah, and Soddy-Daisy. In most cases we can dispatch a technician within 60–90 minutes. Emergency service carries the same up-front pricing policy so you know the cost before work starts.
What methods and equipment do you use to clear blocked drains?
Our vans are stocked with professional-grade cable machines, high-pressure hydro-jetters, mini-jetters for small lines, and video inspection cameras. The technician selects the safest, most effective method based on pipe material and clog type. We never use harsh chemicals that could damage your plumbing or the environment.
Is your drain-opening work guaranteed?
Absolutely. We offer a 30-day clog-free guarantee on interior drains and a 6-month guarantee on main sewer lines cleared with hydro-jetting. If the same line backs up during the guarantee period, we will return and clear it again at no charge.
