FAQs
What types of drains do you service in Shelbyville?
Our technicians clear every kind of residential and light-commercial drain, including kitchen sinks, bathroom sinks, tubs, showers, floor drains, laundry drains, main sewer laterals, and outdoor French drains. If water should flow through it, we can open it.
How can I tell if I need professional drain-opening rather than a DIY fix?
Slow drainage, recurring clogs, gurgling noises, foul odors, water backing up in other fixtures, or multiple drains clogging at once all signal a deeper obstruction that store-bought chemicals or plungers typically cannot resolve. If any of these symptoms appear—or you have tried DIY methods without lasting success—call our Shelbyville team before the problem escalates to a full backup or pipe damage.
What drain-opening methods do you use?
We select the safest, most effective technique for each job: motorized cable snaking for minor to moderate blockages, high-pressure hydro-jetting to scour heavy grease or scale, and camera inspections to locate breakages, roots, or collapsed lines. Each truck is fully equipped so your technician can choose the right tool on-site and finish the job in a single visit whenever possible.
Are your procedures safe for my pipes and the environment?
Yes. We avoid harsh store-shelf acids and rely on mechanical clearing and water-based jetting, which leave no toxic residue. Our equipment is pressure-regulated to protect older cast-iron and modern PVC pipes alike, and we dispose of debris in accordance with Shelby County environmental guidelines.
How fast can you get here, and do you offer emergency service?
We provide same-day appointments throughout Shelbyville and surrounding areas, with a 24/7 emergency hotline for after-hours backups or sewage spills. Our average arrival time for emergencies is under 90 minutes because we stage technicians on both the north and south sides of town.
What does it cost to have a drain opened, and will I get a written estimate?
Standard residential drain openings start at $99, but the final price depends on drain location, severity of blockage, and whether advanced services like hydro-jetting or camera inspection are required. Your technician will perform a brief assessment and present a written, no-obligation estimate before any work begins, so you know exactly what to expect—no hidden fees, ever.
