FAQs
What are common signs that I need professional drain-opening service?
Slow water drainage, gurgling sounds, foul odors coming from the drain, water backing up into sinks, tubs, or floors, and repeated use of plungers or store-bought cleaners without lasting success are all warning signs. If you notice any of these in your Walland home or business, it’s best to call Neighborly Attitude Plumbing before the clog turns into a complete blockage or pipe burst.
Which tools and techniques do you use to clear tough clogs?
We match the solution to the problem. For routine hair or soap buildup we start with professional-grade augers (drain snakes). For grease, sludge, or tree-root intrusion we employ high-pressure hydro-jetting, which scours the pipe walls without chemicals. If we suspect structural issues, we insert a video inspection camera to pinpoint breaks or bellies in the line and recommend repairs. All equipment is safe for residential and commercial piping.
Are store-bought chemical drain cleaners a good alternative?
Chemical cleaners rarely remove the entire blockage and their corrosive ingredients can eat away at metal pipes, soften PVC joints, ruin septic systems, and harm the environment. More importantly, they mask the underlying cause of the clog. A professional mechanical or hydro-jet cleaning clears the pipe fully, preserves its integrity, and keeps harmful chemicals out of Blount County’s waterways.
How quickly can you respond to a drain emergency in Walland?
We provide same-day service Monday through Saturday and 24/7 emergency dispatch for severe backups or flooding. Because our technicians are locally based, most Walland addresses are reached within 60–90 minutes. Up-front arrival windows and text alerts let you track our plumber’s ETA in real time.
Will drain-opening damage my pipes, fixtures, or landscaping?
No. Our augers are sized to match the pipe diameter, preventing scratches or breakage. Hydro-jetting uses adjustable water pressure—strong enough to cut roots, gentle enough to protect older cast-iron or PVC lines. Camera inspections are non-invasive, and if we need exterior access we use existing cleanouts, so your lawn and foundation remain untouched.
What can I do to prevent future clogs after your visit?
1) Avoid pouring grease, coffee grounds, or fibrous foods down the sink. 2) Fit tubs and showers with hair-catching strainers and clean them weekly. 3) Run hot water for 30 seconds after each kitchen use to move soap and food particles through. 4) Schedule an annual preventive hydro-jetting if you have heavy tree coverage or an older plumbing system. We’re happy to set up a maintenance plan that suits your home’s needs and budget.
