FAQs

What kinds of drains can your Jefferson City team open?

Our technicians are trained and equipped to open virtually any residential or light-commercial drain, including kitchen sinks, bathroom sinks, tubs, showers, floor drains, laundry drains, toilets, and main sewer lines up to 8 inches in diameter. If water is backing up anywhere in your home or small business, we have the right tools to clear it.

What drain-opening equipment do you use?

We carry a full arsenal of professional-grade machines: hand and power-driven cable (snake) machines for smaller lines, sectional and drum machines for long mainlines, high-pressure hydro-jetters to scour grease and roots from pipes, and video inspection cameras to pinpoint the clog’s exact location. Choosing the right tool lets us clear the blockage quickly without damaging your pipes.

How quickly can you respond to a clogged drain in Jefferson City?

Because we’re locally based, most calls in Jefferson City and the surrounding Cole County area are answered the same day—often within a two-hour arrival window. For urgent backups that threaten flooding or sanitary issues, we offer 24/7 emergency service with on-call technicians ready to roll at any hour.

Are your plumbers licensed and insured?

Yes. Every field technician holds a Missouri journeyman or master plumbing license, receives ongoing training in safe equipment operation, and is fully covered by liability and workers’ compensation insurance. You’re protected from start to finish, and all work complies with the latest Jefferson City plumbing codes.

What does professional drain opening cost?

Prices vary with the type of drain, the severity of the clog, and the equipment required, but most routine interior drains run $95–$175, while main sewer lines average $225–$350. We give firm, up-front quotes after a brief on-site assessment, so you’ll never be surprised by hidden fees. Senior, military, and first-responder discounts are available.

Can I prevent future clogs after you clear my drain?

Absolutely. We recommend using strainers in sinks and tubs, disposing of grease and food scraps in the trash (not the drain), running plenty of cold water when using a garbage disposal, and scheduling a preventative hydro-jetting service every 18–24 months for older or tree-lined sewer lines. Our technicians will leave you with customized maintenance tips before they leave.
