FAQs
What types of drain clogs do your licensed plumbers in Deer Lodge handle?
Our team is equipped to clear kitchen sinks, bathroom sinks, tubs, showers, floor drains, laundry lines, main sewer laterals, and even outdoor downspout drains. Whether the blockage is caused by grease, hair, soap scum, tree roots, or foreign objects, we have the tools and experience to restore full flow safely and efficiently.
Do you offer emergency drain-opening services in Deer Lodge?
Yes. Clogs can strike at the worst possible times, so we provide 24/7 emergency response throughout Deer Lodge and surrounding Powell County areas. Call us anytime—nights, weekends, or holidays—and a licensed technician will be dispatched with fully stocked service trucks ready to diagnose and open the line right away.
What drain-clearing methods do you use?
For routine clogs we typically start with professional-grade augers (snakes) to break up and extract the blockage. For tougher or recurring clogs we may recommend hydro-jetting, which uses high-pressure water to scour the entire pipe wall of grease, scale, and debris. We also have sewer cameras to pinpoint problem spots and root-cutting heads for intrusive tree roots.
How much does a typical drain opening cost?
Prices vary by drain location, severity of the clog, and required equipment. Simple interior drains often start around $125-$175, while mainline or hydro-jetting jobs can range from $250-$550. We provide up-front, flat-rate quotes before work begins, so you know the exact cost with no hidden fees. Seniors, veterans, and first responders receive additional discounts.
Are your plumbers licensed and insured?
Absolutely. Every technician holds a current Montana journeyman or master plumber license and is fully covered by general liability and workers’ compensation insurance. Our licensing ensures we follow the latest plumbing codes, and our insurance protects your home and our crew during the service.
How can I prevent future drain clogs after you open the line?
We recommend these simple practices: (1) Use drain strainers to catch hair and food particles; (2) Avoid pouring grease or coffee grounds down sinks—dispose of them in the trash; (3) Run hot water and a few drops of dish soap down kitchen drains weekly; (4) Schedule an annual preventive camera inspection or jetting for older sewer lines with a history of root intrusion. Our tech will give tailored tips based on your home’s specific plumbing system.
