FAQs
What drain-opening services do you provide in Collegedale?
Our licensed technicians handle every type of residential and light-commercial clog, including kitchen sinks, bathroom sinks, tubs, showers, floor drains, main sewer lines, and perimeter French drains. We also offer camera inspections and hydro-jetting for severe blockages, ensuring we meet Collegedale’s plumbing code requirements and protect your property from backups.
Are your technicians really licensed and insured?
Yes. Every team member holds a current State of Tennessee Journeyman or Master Plumber license and carries full liability and workers’ compensation insurance. We will gladly provide documentation on arrival, giving you peace of mind that only qualified professionals are working on your home.
How fast can you arrive for a drain emergency in Collegedale?
Because we keep a fully staffed crew in Hamilton County, our average response time within Collegedale city limits is 60–90 minutes for emergency calls. For non-urgent appointments, we offer same-day or next-day scheduling and 2-hour arrival windows so you never waste your day waiting.
What methods do you use to clear stubborn or recurring clogs?
We start with a manual or powered auger to break up solid obstructions. If the clog is extensive, we switch to high-pressure hydro-jetting that scours pipe walls at up to 4,000 PSI, removing grease, scale, and root intrusion. For recurring issues, we run a video camera through the line to pinpoint damage, then recommend repair or trenchless pipe lining if needed.
How much does professional drain opening cost?
Simple sink or tub drain openings start at $99. Main sewer line clean-outs typically range from $195 to $350, depending on length and access. Hydro-jetting or camera inspection is quoted on-site, but most jobs fall between $350 and $650. You’ll get a written, upfront quote before we start—no overtime fees for evenings or weekends.
What can I do to prevent future clogs after you leave?
We recommend monthly bio-enzyme treatments, keeping cooking grease out of drains, using hair catchers in showers, and scheduling a preventive sewer line jetting every 18–24 months. Our technician will leave you with a personalized maintenance checklist tailored to your fixtures and the common soil conditions found in Collegedale.
