FAQs
What kinds of drains can your licensed technicians service in Old Fort?
We can open or clean every residential and light-commercial drain in Old Fort, including kitchen and bathroom sink drains, tub and shower drains, toilets, floor drains, laundry standpipes, yard and driveway drains, and main sewer lines that connect your home to the municipal system.
Why should I choose a licensed plumbing technician instead of a handyman for drain opening?
North Carolina–licensed plumbers have completed thousands of hours of training, passed state exams, and carry the insurance required to protect your property. This means your drain will be opened with the correct equipment, in compliance with local building codes, and backed by a workmanship warranty—something an unlicensed handyman cannot legally provide.
What warning signs tell me I need professional drain opening service?
Call us if you notice slow drainage that doesn’t clear with a household plunger, water gurgling or bubbling up in adjacent fixtures, recurring clogs in the same drain, foul sewer odors, or water backing up into tubs, showers, or floor drains. These symptoms indicate a blockage deeper in the line that requires professional tools and skill.
How do you safely clear clogged drains?
After an initial camera inspection, we select the least-invasive method that will fully restore flow. Options include hand augers for small fixtures, motorized drain machines (snake/cable) for heavier clogs, and hydro-jetting that uses high-pressure water to scour the entire pipe diameter. All equipment is sanitized between jobs, and we finish with a second camera pass to confirm the line is clear.
Do you offer 24/7 emergency drain opening in Old Fort, and how fast can you arrive?
Yes. Our on-call technicians are available around the clock—including nights, weekends, and holidays. In most parts of Old Fort we can be at your door within 60 minutes of your call, and we always provide an up-front quote before any work begins.
What can I do to prevent future clogs after you open my drain?
Use sink strainers to catch food scraps and hair, dispose of grease and cooking oil in the trash, flush only toilet paper, schedule annual professional drain maintenance if you have a history of root intrusion, and consider enzyme-based cleaners instead of harsh chemicals for monthly upkeep. We’re happy to leave you with a customized maintenance plan before we leave.
