FAQs
What does “upfront pricing” mean for your drain-opening service in Deer Lodge?
Upfront pricing means that before any work begins, we inspect your clogged drain, explain the recommended solution, and quote you a firm, flat price for the entire job. The amount you approve is the amount you pay—there are no hidden fees, hourly charges, or surprise add-ons once the clog is cleared.
Which types of household drains can you open or clear?
We service every common residential drain in Deer Lodge, including kitchen sinks, bathroom sinks, tubs, showers, floor drains, laundry lines, and main sewer laterals. Whether the clog is caused by grease, hair, soap buildup, tree roots, or foreign objects, our technicians have the right equipment to remove it safely.
How fast can you get to my Deer Lodge home if my drain is completely backed up?
Because drain backups can’t wait, we offer same-day appointments and 24/7 emergency response within the Deer Lodge area. Most customers are scheduled within a two-hour arrival window, and our dispatchers contact you en route so you know exactly when to expect us.
What methods do you use to open drains, and are they safe for my pipes?
Depending on the location and severity of the clog we may use hand or motorized drain snakes, sectional or drum augers, and high-pressure water jetting. All of these methods are industry-standard, non-damaging to properly installed plumbing, and chosen to match the pipe material and diameter in your home. We never use harsh chemicals that could corrode pipes or harm the environment.
Is your work guaranteed if the drain clogs again after service?
Yes. Every drain opening comes with a written 30-day no-clog guarantee. If the same line backs up within that period, we will return and clear it again at no additional charge. We also provide recommendations to prevent future blockages—such as enzyme treatments, adding a clean-out, or scheduling routine maintenance jetting.
Are your plumbers licensed and insured to work in Deer Lodge?
Absolutely. All technicians hold current Montana journeyman or master plumbing licenses, undergo background checks, and carry full liability and workers’ compensation insurance. We pull permits when required by local code and adhere to all Deer Lodge city and Powell County safety regulations.
