FAQs
What types of drain blockages can your licensed technicians handle in Harrison?
Our licensed plumbers are trained and equipped to remove every common household or commercial blockage, including kitchen sink grease buildups, bathroom hair clogs, flushed wipes or paper products, tree-root intrusions in sewer lines, and scale or sediment in older galvanized pipes. We carry a full suite of tools—motorized augers, hydro-jetters, root cutters, and video inspection cameras—so we can accurately diagnose and clear the obstruction no matter where it is in your drainage system.
How quickly can you arrive for an emergency drain opening service?
Because we have on-call crews stationed throughout Harrison and the surrounding Westchester County area, we can usually be at your door within 60–90 minutes of your call—often faster. Our dispatch team tracks each service vehicle by GPS, so the closest licensed technician is sent immediately when you report an overflowing sink, toilet, or floor drain. We are available 24/7/365, including nights, weekends, and holidays.
Do you use any environmentally friendly methods to clear drains?
Yes. Whenever possible we begin with mechanical solutions such as snaking or high-pressure water jetting, which use no chemicals and leave your pipes residue-free. If we must use a cleaning agent—for example, to dissolve heavy grease—we select biodegradable, non-corrosive products that are safe for municipal sewer systems and septic tanks alike. We also recycle removed debris and strictly follow New York state environmental disposal regulations.
Will drain opening damage my pipes or plumbing fixtures?
No. Our technicians are licensed, insured, and trained to match the right tool to the pipe material and clog type. For older cast-iron and clay lines we adjust jetting pressure to prevent wear. We insert protective liners when working near porcelain fixtures and always perform a post-service camera inspection to confirm that the pipe walls are intact. Your drains will work like new without scratches, cracks, or chemical etching.
How much does professional drain opening cost, and do you provide upfront pricing?
For residential properties in Harrison, simple sink or tub drain openings start at a flat rate that we quote over the phone. More complex jobs—such as sewer main roots removal or hydro-jetting—require an onsite diagnostic, which is also free. After the inspection, you’ll receive a written, itemized estimate that includes labor, equipment, and any replacement parts. We never start work until you approve the price, and there are no hidden after-hours fees or mileage charges within our service radius.
What can I do to prevent future clogs after you've cleared my drain?
We recommend installing inexpensive mesh strainers on sinks and tubs, avoiding flushing wipes or feminine products, and running hot water with a small amount of dish soap down kitchen drains once a week to cut grease. If tree roots are an issue in your sewer line, we can schedule annual camera inspections and preventative root treatments. Our technician will leave a personalized maintenance checklist before leaving your property so you can keep your drains flowing freely year-round.
