FAQs
What are the most common signs that my kitchen sink drain needs professional opening?
Slow-draining water, standing water that won’t go down, gurgling sounds, bad odors, or water backing up into the dishwasher are all indicators of a clog that may require professional service. If a plunger or simple DIY methods don’t restore normal flow within a few minutes, it’s best to call our Soddy-Daisy team before the blockage worsens and potentially damages the pipes.
What methods do you use to clear a clogged kitchen sink drain?
Our technicians start with a video inspection if necessary to locate the clog. We then choose the safest, most effective option: hand augers for minor obstructions, motorized drain snakes for tougher clogs, and hydro-jetting when grease buildup or food waste coats the line. Each method is selected based on pipe material, clog severity, and access points to protect your system and fully restore drainage.
Are chemical drain cleaners safe for my kitchen plumbing?
Most store-bought chemical drain cleaners contain caustic agents that can corrode metal pipes, soften PVC joints, and harm septic systems. They often push the blockage deeper rather than remove it completely. We recommend avoiding them and choosing professional mechanical or hydro-jet solutions that clear the line without damaging your plumbing or the environment.
How quickly can you get to my home in Soddy-Daisy for an emergency drain opening?
We provide 24/7 emergency service throughout Soddy-Daisy and neighboring communities. In most cases, a licensed plumber can be at your door within 60–90 minutes of your call. Our trucks are fully stocked with augers, inspection cameras, and hydro-jet equipment so we can diagnose and resolve the issue on the first visit.
Do you offer any warranties or guarantees on your kitchen sink drain opening service?
Yes. All standard drain opening jobs come with a 30-day clog-free guarantee, meaning we’ll return and clear the line again at no additional cost if the same blockage reoccurs within that period. Extended warranties are available when we install a clean-out or perform hydro-jetting and camera inspections, giving you up to one year of protection.
What can I do to prevent future clogs in my kitchen sink?
Run hot water for 30 seconds after each use to help flush away grease. Avoid pouring cooking oils and coffee grounds down the drain. Use a sink strainer to catch food scraps, and empty it into the trash. Once a month, send a mixture of baking soda followed by white vinegar down the drain, then flush with hot water to break down minor buildup. Scheduling a professional inspection every 1–2 years is also a proactive way to spot early issues before they become major clogs.
