FAQs
What kinds of drains do your licensed technicians service in Jellico?
Our plumbing team is equipped to open and clean every common residential and light-commercial drain in Jellico, including kitchen sinks, bathroom sinks, tubs, showers, floor drains, laundry lines, toilet lines, and main sewer laterals. Whether the clog is a simple hair blockage or a deep tree-root intrusion in the main, we have the right tools and training to restore full flow.
Are your drain-opening technicians fully licensed and insured?
Yes. All of our field technicians hold current Tennessee state plumbing licenses and are covered by full liability and workers’ compensation insurance. Licensing ensures they have met state training, testing, and continuing-education requirements, while insurance protects you and your property during the service call.
How quickly can you respond to a drain emergency in Jellico?
Because we’re locally based, we offer true same-day service—often within 60–90 minutes for Jellico addresses. For after-hours backups, our 24/7 emergency dispatch will route the on-call plumber so you don’t have to wait until morning to get relief from an overflowing sink, tub, or sewer line.
What methods do you use to clear stubborn or recurring clogs?
We start with mechanical cable snaking for routine obstructions. For heavy grease, soap, or scale buildup, we employ high-pressure hydro-jetting that scours pipe walls 360°. Video camera inspection lets us confirm the cause and condition of the pipe before and after the cleaning. If roots are the culprit, we can use root-cutting blades or recommend trenchless pipe lining for a long-term fix.
How much does professional drain opening cost?
For most residential fixtures, prices begin at $99 for a standard cable clear during regular business hours. Deeper main-line clogs, hydro-jetting, or after-hours calls are quoted on-site once the technician diagnoses the blockage, so you’ll always know the total before work begins. We waive our trip charge when you approve the repair and we honor senior and military discounts in Jellico.
What can I do to prevent future clogs after you’ve cleared my drain?
• Use sink strainers to catch hair and food scraps. • Never pour grease, oils, or coffee grounds down the drain—collect them in a separate container for disposal. • Flush only human waste and toilet paper—no wipes, feminine products, or paper towels. • Run hot water and a small amount of dish soap down kitchen drains weekly to break up grease film. • Schedule an annual camera inspection or preventive hydro-jetting if you have a history of root intrusion or heavy usage. Following these tips can dramatically reduce the chance of another blockage and extend the life of your plumbing system.
