FAQs
What are the most common causes of a clogged kitchen drain in Greenback homes?
Kitchen drains usually clog when grease, cooking oils, coffee grounds, and food scraps build up on the inner walls of the pipes. Over time this sticky layer traps other debris and reduces water flow until the line is completely blocked. In Greenback, we also see problems caused by hard-water scale and soap scum, especially in older galvanized or cast-iron piping.
How do you open a clogged kitchen drain and what equipment do you use?
Our technicians begin with a visual inspection and, if needed, a video camera inspection to pinpoint the blockage. For most routine clogs we use a professional-grade cable machine (drain auger) to cut through grease and debris. If the pipe is heavily coated, we may follow up with hydro-jetting, which scours the full pipe diameter with high-pressure water. All equipment is safe for residential plumbing and helps restore the line to like-new capacity.
How quickly can you get to my Greenback property for kitchen drain service?
We offer same-day appointments for calls received before 2 p.m. and 24/7 emergency service for severe backups. Because we’re locally based in Greenback, a technician can usually be on site within 60–90 minutes in an emergency and within a 2-hour window for standard service.
What will kitchen drain opening cost and do you give upfront pricing?
Most routine kitchen drain openings fall in the $95–$175 range. Complex jams that require hydro-jetting or minor pipe repair may run higher. Before any work begins, your technician will provide a written, flat-rate quote that includes labor, equipment, and cleanup—so you know the exact cost before we start.
Can I try to unclog my kitchen drain myself with store-bought chemicals?
We do NOT recommend liquid drain cleaners. They can generate enough heat to warp PVC, corrode metal pipes, and damage garbage disposals. If a plunger or a small hand auger doesn’t clear the blockage, it’s best to call a professional. Using harsh chemicals can make the eventual repair more difficult and expensive.
Do you guarantee your kitchen drain cleaning service?
Yes. We back every kitchen drain opening with a 30-day clear-drain guarantee. If the same line backs up within 30 days, we’ll return and clear it at no extra charge. For pipes that receive hydro-jetting, we extend the guarantee to 90 days because the line has been fully descaled and flushed.
