FAQs
What does “up-front pricing” mean for your drain-opening service in Pigeon Forge?
Up-front pricing means we quote the total cost of the drain-opening job before any work begins. The price you approve covers travel, inspection, labor, equipment, and cleanup—there are no hidden fees, overtime add-ons, or surprise material charges at checkout. This gives you complete cost certainty and lets you make an informed decision without pressure.
What kinds of drain blockages can your plumbers clear?
Our licensed technicians handle kitchen sinks, bathroom sinks, floor drains, laundry drains, shower and tub drains, and main sewer lines. We’re equipped to remove hair, grease buildup, food scraps, mineral scale, intrusive tree roots, and foreign objects. Whether the clog is a simple P-trap obstruction or a deep main-line blockage, we have the tools—such as powered augers, hydro jetters, and drain cameras—to restore full flow quickly.
How fast can you respond to a clogged drain in Pigeon Forge?
Because we’re based in Sevier County, our service trucks are never far from Dollywood Lane, Wears Valley Road, or any of the surrounding resort cabins. Standard appointments are typically available the same day, and true emergencies (sewage backup or total drain stoppage) receive priority dispatch—often within 60–90 minutes. Our phones are answered 24/7, including weekends and holidays, so you can reach us whenever a clog strikes.
Will drain opening damage my pipes or fixtures?
No. We begin with a visual inspection and, when needed, a video camera inspection to pinpoint the blockage. Then we match the clearing method to your pipe material and clog type. For example, we use low-pressure hydro jetting on delicate PVC, sectional cable machines on cast iron, and enzyme treatments for preventive maintenance. These professional methods are far gentler and more effective than harsh store-bought chemicals, protecting both your plumbing and the environment.
Is there anything I should do before the plumber arrives?
You can help by removing items stored under sinks or near the affected drain so the technician has clear access. If water is overflowing, shut off the fixture’s supply valve or the home’s main valve and avoid using other drains to prevent cross-backup. Gather any helpful information—when the clog started, previous issues, or DIY attempts—so we can diagnose the problem faster. After that, relax; we’ll handle the rest.
Do you guarantee your drain-opening work?
Yes. Every drain we clear comes with a written satisfaction guarantee. If the same line backs up within the guarantee period (which varies depending on drain type and condition but is typically 30–90 days), we’ll return and re-clear it at no additional charge. We also provide video verification on main sewer lines so you can see the restored flow for yourself. Our goal is to give Pigeon Forge homeowners total peace of mind.
