FAQs
What does “up-front pricing” mean for drain opening services in Oliver Springs?
Up-front pricing means you receive a firm, written quote for your drain opening before any work begins. Our technician will inspect the clog, explain the recommended solution, and present the exact cost—including labor, parts, and taxes—so you know the total investment with no hidden fees or surprise add-ons later.
How quickly can you arrive at my Oliver Springs home if my drain is completely blocked?
We offer same-day service throughout Oliver Springs and the surrounding Anderson and Roane County areas. Calls received before 2 p.m. are typically serviced the same day; after-hours or weekend calls are handled through our 24/7 emergency dispatch, usually within 2–4 hours depending on current demand and travel distance.
What types of drains can you clear and what equipment do you use?
Our licensed plumbers clear kitchen sinks, bathroom sinks, tubs, showers, floor drains, laundry drains, and main sewer lines. We carry professional-grade cable machines (snakes), high-pressure hydro-jetters, and video inspection cameras on every service truck, allowing us to tackle everything from hair clogs to tree-root intrusions without multiple visits.
Are chemical drain cleaners safe to use before I call a plumber?
Store-bought chemical cleaners are generally not recommended. They can damage older copper or galvanized pipes common in many Oliver Springs homes, create safety hazards for our technicians, and often provide only temporary relief. If plunging hasn’t worked, shut off water to the fixture and call us for a mechanical or hydro-jetting solution that protects your plumbing.
Will opening a drain fix slow drains permanently, or do you offer preventive maintenance?
While a thorough snaking or jetting will restore full flow, chronic buildup can recur. We offer optional preventive maintenance plans that include annual camera inspections, enzyme treatments safe for septic systems, and discounted re-jetting. These services catch early warning signs and keep drains clear year-round, saving you from emergency calls.
Do you guarantee your drain opening work, and what happens if it backs up again?
Yes. Residential drain openings come with a 90-day clog-free guarantee on the cleared line (terms apply for grease, sludge, or foreign objects). If the same drain backs up within that period, we return at no charge. For sewer main jetting, extended warranties are available when a camera inspection is purchased and the line shows no structural defects.
