FAQs
What does “transparent pricing” mean for your drain-opening services in Madisonville?
Transparent pricing means you know the exact cost of your drain-opening project before any work begins. We publish flat-rate price ranges online, confirm those prices on site after a quick inspection, and give you a written authorization form that lists every charge—labor, equipment, tax, and disposal fees—so there are no surprises when the job is finished.
How much does it typically cost to have a clogged drain opened?
Standard residential drain openings in Madisonville generally fall between $119 and $219, depending on the drain location (kitchen sink, tub, toilet, floor drain) and the length of the run we need to clear. That price covers the service call, mechanical cabling of one line up to 75 feet, and a 30-day workmanship guarantee. If the clog is farther down the main sewer line or requires hydro-jetting, we’ll quote those add-ons in advance so you can decide before we proceed.
Are there any hidden fees I should worry about?
No. Our transparent pricing policy eliminates hidden fees. We do not charge overtime, fuel, environmental, or weekend premiums. The only time your cost will change from the original quote is if you ask for additional services—such as a camera inspection or enzyme treatment—and you will receive an updated written estimate to approve first.
What factors could raise or lower the final price?
The price may vary based on: 1) Drain accessibility—if we need to remove and reset a toilet or cut into drywall to reach the clean-out, extra labor is required; 2) Severity and location of the blockage—deep main-line clogs may require larger equipment or hydro-jetting; 3) Multiple fixtures—clearing several clogged drains during the same visit qualifies for a bundle discount; 4) Preventive upgrades—choosing an optional video camera inspection, pipe descaling, or biological drain maintenance can add to the ticket but helps prevent future backups.
Do you offer free estimates or second opinions?
Yes. We provide free on-site estimates within our Madisonville service area, and we are happy to give a written second opinion if another plumber has already inspected your drain. If our technician determines that opening the drain is not the best long-term solution—for example if the pipe is collapsed—we’ll explain the situation, show you camera footage (if taken), and quote repair options, all at no charge.
What payment options and guarantees do you provide?
We accept cash, all major credit cards, checks, and contactless mobile payments. For larger jobs or customers who prefer predictable budgeting, we partner with GreenSky to offer zero-interest financing for up to 12 months (subject to credit approval). Every drain-opening service includes a 30-day no-clog guarantee; if the same line backs up again within that window, we will return and clear it at no additional cost.
