FAQs
What does your transparent pricing include for a drain-opening service in Cumberland Gap?
Our upfront quote covers the trip charge, a full diagnostic inspection with a video camera when accessible, mechanical snaking (up to 75 ft), and cleanup of the work area. You will see every line item—labor, equipment, taxes, and any optional add-ons—before we begin, so there are no surprises on the final invoice.
How is the final cost of my drain-opening job calculated?
We use a flat-rate menu instead of hourly billing. Pricing is based on the drain location (kitchen, bath, main line, etc.), pipe diameter, and the method required to clear the clog (snaking, hydro-jetting, or enzyme treatment). Once the technician assesses the situation, you receive a written quote that will not change unless you approve additional work.
Do you charge extra for evening, weekend, or holiday service calls?
No. Our transparent pricing model eliminates after-hours surcharges. The same published rates apply 24/7 throughout Cumberland Gap, so you can request emergency service without worrying about overtime fees.
How long will it take to clear my clogged drain?
Most residential drains are cleared within 45–90 minutes of arrival. Main sewer lines or heavily compacted blockages may require 1–2 hours or additional equipment such as a hydro-jet. We’ll give you a realistic time estimate on-site after the initial inspection.
What happens if the drain cannot be opened with standard snaking?
If snaking fails, we will discuss alternative solutions such as hydro-jetting, sectional cable machines, or partial pipe replacement. You’ll receive a revised, fixed-price quotation before any extra work begins, and you can decline without incurring hidden fees—only the initial diagnostic charge applies.
Do you offer any warranties or guarantees on your drain-opening services?
Yes. We provide a 30-day no-clog guarantee for the specific drain we serviced. If the same line backs up within that window, we return once at no charge. For hydro-jetted or repaired lines, extended warranties of 6–12 months are available and clearly itemized in your quote.
