FAQs
What does “up-front pricing” mean for your Crab Orchard drain-opening service?
Up-front pricing means that before any work begins you will know exactly what the drain-opening job will cost, including parts, labor, trip fees, and taxes. Our technician will inspect the clog, explain the solution, and present a written price quote. The amount on that quote is the amount you pay—no hidden fees, overtime charges, or surprise add-ons when the work is finished.
How much will it cost to have my drain opened in Crab Orchard?
Typical residential drain openings in Crab Orchard start at $99 for basic sink, tub, or shower clogs that can be cleared with a hand auger. More stubborn clogs that require power-snaking generally range from $149–$249. Hydro-jetting, camera inspections, or removing and reinstalling fixtures will increase the price. Because every blockage is different, we perform a quick on-site evaluation and give you an exact, up-front price that you can approve before work begins.
What signs tell me I should call a professional instead of using store-bought drain cleaner?
• Slow draining that comes back shortly after using liquid drain cleaner • Gurgling noises or bubbling in other fixtures when you run water • Multiple fixtures backing up at the same time (e.g., toilet and shower) • Foul sewer odors coming from a drain • Standing water that will not go down at all These symptoms often point to a clog deeper in the drainage or main sewer line where chemical cleaners are ineffective. A professional plumber has the right tools to remove the blockage without damaging your pipes.
What techniques do you use to clear drains, and are they safe for my plumbing?
We match the method to the clog type and pipe material: • Hand augers for hair and soap build-up in small traps • Motorized cable machines (power-snakes) for heavier kitchen grease or main-line roots • Hydro-jetting (high-pressure water) to scour pipe walls and restore full diameter flow • Video camera inspection to locate breaks or recurring problem spots All equipment is industry-approved and safe for PVC, copper, cast iron, and ABS piping when used by a trained technician. We avoid harsh chemicals that can corrode pipes or harm the environment.
How quickly can you get a plumber to my home or business in Crab Orchard?
We offer same-day service for most drain emergencies in Crab Orchard and the surrounding Cumberland County area. Calls received before 2 p.m. are usually serviced the same day, and after-hours or weekend appointments are available for an additional flat emergency fee that is disclosed up front. Our dispatch team will give you a two-hour arrival window and the technician will call when en route.
Do you guarantee your drain-opening work?
Yes. All standard drain openings come with a 30-day clog-free guarantee. If the same drain backs up within 30 days, we will return once at no additional charge to re-clear it. For hydro-jetting and main sewer line services, the guarantee extends to 90 days. If we identify underlying issues such as pipe damage or root intrusion that require repair, we will provide repair options and apply the original drain-opening fee toward the solution if repairs are scheduled within 30 days.
