FAQs
What are the most common signs that I have a stubborn drain clog?
Slow-moving water, gurgling sounds, foul odors, and water backing up into sinks, tubs, or floor drains all indicate a stubborn clog. If plunging doesn’t restore normal flow—or the problem keeps returning—you likely have a deeper blockage that needs professional attention.
Why should I call a professional plumber rather than use chemical drain cleaners?
Store-bought chemicals can corrode pipes, damage septic systems, and only clear a small opening through the clog—meaning it will come back. Our licensed Fayetteville plumbers use professional-grade equipment (such as augers, motorized drain snakes, and hydro-jetting) to remove the entire blockage without harming your plumbing. We also inspect the line to make sure no underlying damage is missed.
What techniques do you use to open difficult clogs?
We start with a video camera inspection to locate and identify the obstruction. For most household drains, a powered auger or sectional drain snake breaks up and extracts compacted hair, grease, or soap scum. For severe or long sewer line clogs, we offer high-pressure hydro-jetting, which scours pipe walls clean, removing tree roots, mineral buildup, and sludge to restore full flow.
How fast can you get to my home in Fayetteville for an emergency clog?
We provide same-day service throughout Fayetteville and surrounding communities. For true emergencies—such as sewage backing up—we have on-call technicians 24/7 and can typically arrive within 60–90 minutes, fully equipped to diagnose and clear the blockage on the spot.
Are your drain-opening methods safe for older pipes or homes with septic systems?
Yes. Our plumbers evaluate pipe material and system age before choosing a cleaning method. We use low-torque cable machines for fragile cast-iron or clay lines, and we adjust hydro-jetting pressure to avoid damage. For septic systems, we avoid harsh chemicals and ensure debris is removed rather than flushed into the tank.
What can I do to prevent future clogs after you clear my drain?
We recommend installing inexpensive mesh strainers in sinks and tubs, disposing of grease and coffee grounds in the trash, and running hot water with a small amount of dish soap after heavy grease use. For kitchen sinks, periodic bacteria-based enzyme treatments help keep lines clear. After service, our technician will provide a tailored maintenance plan for your specific plumbing setup in Fayetteville.
