FAQs
What types of drain problems qualify for your same-day service in Kodak?
Any situation where wastewater is backing up, drains are completely blocked, or normal household activities (showering, cooking, laundry) are disrupted qualifies for our same-day service. This includes clogged kitchen sinks, bathroom sinks, tubs, main sewer lines, floor drains, and laundry drains. If water is not flowing as it should, call us and we’ll dispatch a licensed plumber immediately.
How soon can a plumber arrive at my Kodak home or business after I place a call?
On most days we can be at your door within 60–90 minutes, and always within the same business day. Our dispatch software sends the closest available technician, and our trucks are fully stocked so we can start work as soon as we arrive—no second trip for parts required in the vast majority of cases.
Do you charge extra for same-day or after-hours drain opening?
No: our transparent, flat-rate pricing remains the same whether you call at 10 a.m. on a weekday or 8 p.m. on a weekend. Before any work begins, the technician will perform a quick diagnostic, explain the recommended solution, and give you a written quote you can approve or decline—no surprises on the final invoice.
What techniques do you use to clear stubborn or recurring clogs?
We tailor the method to the type and severity of the blockage. Options include high-speed cable augering for hair and soap buildup, hydro-jetting for grease and sludge in larger lines, enzyme treatments for organic debris, and camera inspections to locate and verify the source of the clog. If we find roots or pipe damage, we can provide trenchless repair options as well.
Will the drain opening process damage my pipes or my yard?
Our tools and methods are designed to be safe for modern PVC, copper, cast-iron, and even older galvanized pipes. Hydro-jetting uses controlled water pressure that scours the pipe interior without chemicals or abrasives. If an outside sewer line needs attention, we can often access it through existing clean-outs, eliminating the need to excavate your lawn.
How can I keep my drains flowing freely after your visit?
We recommend avoiding grease disposal down kitchen sinks, installing hair catchers in bathroom drains, running hot water after each use, and scheduling an annual preventive drain cleaning if you have older pipes or large trees on your property. Our technician will leave you with personalized maintenance tips and an eco-friendly enzyme packet to help break down buildup between service calls.
