FAQs
What are the most common signs that I need professional drain-opening service?
Slow water drainage, standing water in tubs or sinks, gurgling noises from pipes, unpleasant sewer odors, or repeated clogs after DIY attempts all point to a blockage deep in the line that requires professional equipment to clear.
Are your plumbers licensed and insured to work in Louisville and the rest of Kentucky?
Yes. Every technician we send is a Kentucky-licensed master or journeyman plumber and carries full liability and workers’-comp insurance, ensuring the work meets state and local codes and that you’re protected from any job-site mishaps.
What techniques do you use to open tough or recurrent clogs?
Depending on the clog’s location and severity, we may deploy high-pressure water jetting, professional-grade cable machines (auger or ‘snake’), sectional cutters for roots, or camera inspection followed by targeted spot repair. All methods are safe for residential and commercial piping when handled by our trained pros.
How fast can you reach my Louisville property in an emergency?
We offer 24/7 emergency dispatch within Jefferson County and the surrounding metro area. In most cases a licensed technician can be on-site within 60–90 minutes, fully equipped to diagnose and clear the blockage on the first visit.
Is professional drain opening safe for older or fragile pipes?
Yes. Before we begin, we assess pipe material and condition with visual or camera inspection. We then choose the gentlest effective method—often low-rpm cabling or controlled-pressure jetting—to clear the clog without stressing brittle cast-iron or corroded galvanized lines.
What does it cost to have a professional open my drain, and what factors affect the price?
Typical residential jobs range from $99–$275 for straightforward cabling of a single fixture and $300–$600 for main-line jetting or heavy root removal. Price varies with clog severity, pipe size, access difficulty, time of day (after-hours rates), and whether a camera inspection or follow-up repair is needed. You’ll receive an upfront, written estimate before any work begins.
