FAQs
What warning signs suggest I need emergency service for my main sewer line?
Watch for multiple drains backing up at the same time, gurgling noises coming from toilets, water pooling around basement floor drains, foul odors inside or outside, and sudden lush patches of grass above the buried line. If any of these happen in Luttrell, call us immediately—waiting can allow sewage to back-flow into your home or damage the line further.
How fast can your emergency dispatch team reach my property in Luttrell?
Our dispatch center is staffed 24/7. Because our technicians are strategically staged throughout Union County, average arrival time inside the Luttrell city limits is 60 minutes or less. During severe weather or county-wide outages we triage calls, giving priority to active sewage backups and homes with only one bathroom.
What should I do until the plumber arrives?
1) Stop running any water—including dishwashers, washing machines, and toilets—to prevent additional flow into the clogged line. 2) Shut off electricity to affected areas if water is on the floor. 3) Move valuables away from potential overflow zones. 4) Do NOT use chemical drain cleaners; they rarely reach main line blockages and can create hazardous fumes when we begin mechanical cleaning.
How will you find the exact cause of my main line problem?
First, we snake a small access point to relieve immediate pressure. Then we send a high-definition sewer camera through the clean-out to inspect the entire lateral from your home to the Luttrell utility tap. Live video shows us cracks, root intrusions, bellies, grease buildup, or collapsed pipe sections, allowing us to recommend the most effective fix without guesswork.
Can you clear tree roots or major blockages without digging up my yard?
In many cases, yes. We use hydro-jetting to cut and flush roots, grease, and scale with water at up to 4,000 PSI. For damaged pipe, trenchless technologies such as pipe lining (CIPP) or pipe bursting let us rebuild or replace the line through small access holes, preserving landscaping, driveways, and sidewalks.
What will emergency main line service cost and do you help with insurance?
Pricing depends on complexity—simple snaking starts around $195, camera inspections add $125, hydro-jetting averages $450–$750, and trenchless repairs run $90–$150 per foot. We provide written estimates before work begins and offer 0% financing for six months on jobs over $500. If a break was caused by sudden, accidental damage, most homeowner policies cover at least cleanup costs; we document the issue with photos and video to streamline your claim.
