FAQs
Why should I hire a licensed technician for drain opening instead of doing it myself?
Licensed plumbing technicians are trained to diagnose the root cause of a clog, not just clear it temporarily. They use professional-grade equipment such as motorized augers and drain cameras, follow provincial plumbing codes, and carry insurance that protects your home. DIY attempts can damage pipes, void warranties, or push the blockage deeper, leading to costlier repairs later.
What methods do your technicians use to open stubborn drains?
Our Guild plumbers begin with a visual and camera inspection to pinpoint the clog’s location and type. Depending on their findings, they may use a hand or power auger, hydro-jetting for grease and sludge build-up, or a sectional drain machine for roots and heavy obstructions. Every method is selected to be both effective and safe for your specific pipe material.
Do you offer emergency drain opening services?
Yes. Guild’s licensed technicians are on call 24/7 for emergencies such as sewer backups or overflowing fixtures. We aim to arrive within 60–90 minutes in most service areas. Our trucks are fully stocked, allowing us to perform diagnostics and clearing in a single visit whenever possible.
How much does professional drain opening typically cost?
Pricing depends on drain size, accessibility, and severity of the clog. Standard sink or tub drains usually range from $150–$250, while main sewer lines may run $300–$600 due to specialized equipment and camera inspections. Before any work begins, our technician provides a written, flat-rate quote, so there are no surprise fees.
Will drain opening damage my pipes or fixtures?
No. Licensed technicians select tools and techniques that match your pipe material—whether PVC, cast iron, or copper. Hydro-jetting pressure is calibrated to be strong enough to clear debris yet safe for the pipe wall. We also insert protective guides when running cables through delicate porcelain fixtures to prevent scratching.
How can I prevent future clogs after you clear my drain?
The key is keeping grease, coffee grounds, and fibrous foods out of kitchen drains, using hair traps in showers, and flushing only toilet paper in toilets. We can apply a bio-enzymatic drain treatment that digests organic residue, and we’ll provide a maintenance schedule tailored to your plumbing system. Annual camera inspections for older homes help catch developing issues early.
