FAQs
What kinds of drain clogs can your plumbers clear?
Our background-checked plumbers can tackle everything from simple hair and soap buildup in bathroom drains to heavy grease, food waste, and scale blockages in kitchen lines. We also clear main sewer line obstructions caused by roots, flushable wipes, foreign objects, and mineral deposits. Whether the blockage is in a sink, tub, floor drain, or the main sewer lateral, we have the right tools and expertise to restore full flow.
Are your plumbers licensed, insured, and background-checked?
Yes. Every plumber we dispatch to a Pelham home or business is state-licensed, fully insured, and has passed a comprehensive criminal and professional background check. We also conduct ongoing training and drug testing to maintain the highest safety and workmanship standards, giving you complete peace of mind when we enter your property.
How quickly can you respond to an emergency drain backup in Pelham?
We offer 24/7 emergency service throughout Pelham, and a live dispatcher answers your call at any hour. In most cases, a plumber can be on-site within 60–90 minutes. For severe sewer backups that risk property damage, we prioritize the call and aim for the fastest possible arrival—often within 45 minutes, traffic permitting.
What drain-opening methods do you use, and are they safe for my pipes?
Depending on the clog’s location and severity, we use professional-grade cable machines (snakes), high-pressure hydro jetting, and, for smaller fixtures, hand augers or mini-jets. Hydro jetting scours the entire pipe interior with water at up to 4,000 PSI, removing grease and scale without chemicals. All methods are pipe-safe when performed by trained technicians; we inspect piping material and condition before choosing the technique to avoid damage.
How much does a professional drain opening usually cost in Pelham?
Prices vary with drain type, clog severity, and access requirements, but typical residential sink or tub drain openings start around $125–$175. Main sewer line clearing generally ranges from $275–$450 for cable snaking, while hydro jetting can run $550–$750. We provide up-front, flat-rate quotes after inspection, and there are no hidden fees for after-hours or weekend service.
What can I do to prevent future clogs after you clear my drain?
We recommend scheduling an annual preventive pipe inspection and, if needed, maintenance jetting to keep lines clean. In kitchens, avoid pouring grease down the sink, use a strainer to catch food scraps, and run hot water with a small amount of dish soap after heavy use. In bathrooms, install hair catchers, limit paper product usage to toilet paper only, and never flush wipes (even “flushable” ones). Finally, consider enzyme-based drain treatments monthly to break down organic buildup safely.
