FAQs
What kinds of drains can your licensed plumbers clear in Tellico Plains?
Our team is trained and equipped to open virtually any residential or light-commercial drain, including kitchen sinks, bathroom sinks, tubs and showers, floor drains, laundry drains, main sewer lines, and exterior French drains. If water should flow through it, we can clear it—whether the clog is caused by grease, hair, soap buildup, tree roots, or foreign objects.
When should I call a professional instead of using store-bought drain cleaners?
Chemical drain cleaners can provide short-term relief, but they often damage pipes and seldom remove the entire blockage. Call us if you notice slow drainage in multiple fixtures, recurring clogs, gurgling sounds, foul odors, or standing water that won’t budge after basic plunging. Professional service not only clears the clog completely but also protects your plumbing from corrosion and future backups.
Are your plumbers licensed and insured to work in Tennessee?
Yes. Every technician we send to your Tellico Plains home holds a current Tennessee journeyman or master plumbing license, carries full liability and workers’ compensation insurance, and receives ongoing training in state code compliance. You can have total confidence that the work meets or exceeds all local and state requirements.
What tools and techniques do you use for tough clogs?
We match the solution to the problem. For minor blockages, we often start with hand augers or sink machines. Stubborn or deep sewer clogs are tackled with motorized drain snakes, sectional cable machines, or hydro-jetting that blasts high-pressure water through the pipe. We also use video camera inspections to see inside the line and confirm the clog is gone, preventing repeat visits.
How much does drain opening typically cost in Tellico Plains?
Pricing depends on the location of the clog, pipe size, and severity. A straightforward sink or tub stoppage usually ranges from $100–$175. Main sewer line cleaning runs $200–$350, while hydro-jetting or root removal may cost more. We provide a clear, written estimate after assessing the situation on-site, and there are no surprise fees once you approve the work.
Do you offer emergency or after-hours drain opening services?
Absolutely. Clogs don’t wait for business hours, and neither do we. Our licensed plumbers are on call 24/7—including nights, weekends, and holidays—to handle overflowing toilets, backed-up sewer lines, and other urgent drainage issues. Simply call our emergency line, and a technician will be dispatched to your Tellico Plains location as quickly as possible.
