FAQs
What does your flat-rate drain opening service in Jamestown include?
Our flat-rate pricing covers a complete drain opening for one residential drain line, including a diagnostic inspection, mechanical snaking up to 100 ft, removal of common obstructions (hair, grease, minor roots), and a final flow test to ensure the line is clear. The price also includes the trip charge, labor, and standard setup/cleanup—so you won’t see any extra fees tacked on when we finish the job.
How much is the flat rate, and are there any hidden fees?
The flat rate for a single residential drain opening in Jamestown is $189. That figure is all-inclusive—there are no additional charges for travel, after-hours visits (within our normal 7 am-7 pm window), or disposal of removed debris. Only if we discover a more serious issue (such as a collapsed pipe) that requires additional work will we present options and pricing before proceeding.
Do you offer emergency or after-hours drain opening?
Yes. If your clog is causing flooding or a sewage backup outside our normal 7 am-7 pm hours, we provide 24/7 emergency service. An emergency visit carries a $79 surcharge on top of the flat rate, but the drain opening work itself remains fixed-price, so you still know the total cost before we start.
How quickly can you arrive at my Jamestown home?
For non-emergency calls scheduled before noon, we can usually arrive the same day. Emergency calls receive priority dispatch and average a 60-minute response time within Jamestown city limits. You’ll receive a text with your plumber’s name, photo, and real-time GPS tracking link once the tech is en route.
What if the drain can’t be cleared with standard snaking?
In about 90 % of cases, mechanical snaking resolves the blockage. If the clog proves stubborn, we can switch to hydro-jetting or perform a camera inspection. These advanced services are not part of the flat rate, but we’ll explain the findings, quote a firm price, and get your approval before doing any additional work. If you decline, you owe only the flat-rate fee for the attempted clearing.
Do you guarantee your drain opening service?
Absolutely. We back our work with a 30-day no-clog guarantee for the cleared line. If the same drain backs up again within that period under normal use, we’ll return and re-snake it at no charge. For peace of mind, we also provide video verification upon request so you can see the results yourself.
