FAQs
What does it mean that your trucks are "fully stocked" for drain-opening service in Decatur?
Each service vehicle carries a complete inventory of professional-grade drain cables, hydro-jetting nozzles, video inspection cameras, replacement traps, fittings, and common pipe sizes. Because every technician arrives with these tools and parts on board, we can diagnose, clear, and repair most blockages on the first visit without wasting time driving back to the shop or a supply house.
Do you provide emergency drain opening, and how quickly can you get to my Decatur home or business?
Yes. We offer 24/7 emergency service within the greater Decatur area. Dispatchers track our trucks by GPS; the closest available technician is routed to you, and arrival times are typically 60 minutes or less for calls made inside city limits. Nights, weekends, and holidays are covered by the same licensed professionals who handle daytime jobs.
What kinds of drains can you clear?
Our team can open kitchen sinks, bathroom sinks, tubs, showers, floor drains, laundry lines, toilet clogs, main sewer lines, and storm drains. The equipment on our trucks ranges from handheld augers for small fixtures to sectional and drum machines for long branch lines, plus high-pressure hydro-jetting units for grease, sludge, or tree-root intrusions in larger pipes.
Will I need multiple service visits or parts runs to finish the job?
In most cases, no. Fully stocked trucks allow us to carry the cutting heads, replacement gaskets, slip nuts, P-traps, and even small lengths of PVC or cast-iron repair pipe needed for common repairs discovered after the blockage is cleared. More than 90% of our Decatur drain openings are completed in a single visit, saving you time and additional service fees.
How much does a drain opening cost, and do you provide upfront pricing?
Standard residential fixture clogs start at a flat rate that we quote over the phone once we know the location and type of drain. When the technician arrives, you receive a written, no-obligation price before any work begins. Complex problems—such as sewer main blockages requiring camera inspection or hydro-jetting—are priced by the job, not by the hour, so you know the total cost before we start.
Are your drain-opening methods safe for my pipes and the environment?
Absolutely. We favor mechanical cabling and water-only hydro-jetting over harsh chemical cleaners, which can corrode pipes and harm the environment. Our equipment is calibrated for the pipe material we are working on—PVC, copper, cast iron, or clay—to prevent damage. Any bio-enzymatic treatments we recommend afterward are eco-friendly and help maintain clear lines without toxic residue.
