FAQs
What kinds of clogs can your motorized auger remove?
Our high-torque motorized augers can tackle almost any obstruction found in residential or light-commercial drains in Delano, including kitchen grease buildups, hair and soap scum in bathroom lines, small tree roots that have penetrated sewer laterals, flushed hygiene products, and scale deposits in older cast-iron piping.
Is a motorized auger safe for my pipes and fixtures?
Yes. Our technicians select the proper cable diameter and cutting head for your pipe size and material, preventing damage to PVC, ABS, cast iron, or copper lines. We also use foot-pedal controls and variable speed settings to keep torque within safe limits and always perform a post-service camera inspection on main lines to confirm pipe integrity.
How does your motorized auger service work from start to finish?
1) You schedule an appointment or emergency call. 2) We arrive with a fully equipped service truck and inspect the affected fixture or clean-out. 3) If needed, we run a video camera to pinpoint the clog location and determine the right auger head. 4) The motorized auger is fed into the line, breaking up and retrieving the blockage. 5) We flush the pipe, verify full flow, and clean the work area. 6) Finally, we provide a brief report and maintenance tips so you know exactly what was done.
How fast can you get to my Delano property in an emergency?
We offer true 24/7 emergency response within the Delano city limits and surrounding communities. Most calls received during business hours are serviced the same day, often within two hours. After-hours or weekend calls typically see a technician on-site within 60–90 minutes.
Is there anything I should do before the technician arrives?
If water is backing up, stop running any fixtures and shut off the washing machine or dishwasher to prevent overflow. Clear a small work area around the affected drain or clean-out and make sure pets are secured. Do not pour chemical drain cleaners—they can interfere with auger operation and pose safety risks.
What can I do to keep my drains clear after the auger service?
• Use enzyme-based drain maintainers monthly instead of harsh chemicals. • Keep food scraps, coffee grounds, and grease out of kitchen drains. • Install hair catchers in showers and tubs. • Flush only toilet paper—no wipes, cotton balls, or hygiene products. • Schedule an annual camera inspection if your home has mature trees near the sewer line. Following these practices will extend the benefit of your auger service and reduce the risk of future blockages.
