FAQs
What does “flat-rate pricing” mean for my drain opening service?
Flat-rate pricing means you pay one published price for the entire drain-opening job—no hourly charges, no surprise fees, and no upselling once the work begins. Whether the technician needs 20 minutes or two hours, you pay the same amount that was quoted up front. This transparent approach lets Estill Springs homeowners know the exact cost before we touch a wrench, so you can budget with confidence.
What is included in your flat-rate drain opening service?
Our flat rate covers the trip charge, diagnostic inspection, use of professional drain-clearing equipment (hand augers, motorized cables, or mini-jetting as needed), testing for proper flow, and a 30-day workmanship warranty. If the clog is accessible through a standard clean-out, tub, sink, floor, or toilet drain, it’s included. We’ll also provide basic tips to prevent future blockages.
Are there any situations where additional costs could arise?
Additional costs are rare but possible if we discover conditions outside the scope of normal drain cleaning—such as a broken pipe, root intrusion that requires hydro-jetting beyond 75 ft, or if the line lacks a clean-out and we must remove and reset fixtures. In those cases, the technician will explain the issue, show camera footage or photos if available, and present a separate written estimate before any extra work is done. You’re never charged without approval.
How quickly can you come to my Estill Springs home and how long will the job take?
We offer same-day service throughout Estill Springs and neighboring areas of Franklin County when you call before 2 p.m. For after-hours or weekend emergencies, 24/7 dispatch is available. A typical residential drain opening takes 45-60 minutes once onsite; tougher main-line clogs can take up to two hours. Because travel time is built into our flat rate, you don’t pay more if we hit traffic on Hwy 41A.
What types of drains can you clear and do you guarantee the results?
We clear kitchen sinks, bathroom sinks, tubs, showers, floor drains, toilets, laundry lines, and main sewer laterals up to 4 inches in diameter. Our 30-day clog-free guarantee covers the same drain: if it backs up again within 30 days under normal use, we’ll return and reopen it at no charge. If a structural defect is discovered (collapsed pipe, tree-root intrusion, etc.), we’ll credit the original fee toward any repair or replacement work we perform.
How do I schedule service and what payment methods do you accept?
Scheduling is easy: call our office, book online, or text us a photo of the affected fixture for faster triage. We’ll provide a two-hour arrival window and send you a technician-tracking link when we’re en route. We accept cash, checks, all major credit cards, and contactless payments like Apple Pay and Google Pay. Financing options are available for larger sewer repairs diagnosed during the visit.
