“I had a main line backup at 4:45pm on a Monday. Called this company and they came to my house in 15 minutes, and finished within an hour… Another company in the area quoted $40 more and couldn’t come for 24 hours.”

FAQ

Common questions

Do you give free estimates?

Yes. We can give you an estimate over the phone. When we arrive we assess the situation, and if anything changes we give you a new quote before any work begins.

Do you charge a trip charge?

We quote you a price over the phone, and if you accept, we don’t charge for the trip to your home — even if the estimate changes before we start. A trip charge may apply only if the location is more than 15 miles from our office.

How much does it cost to unclog a drain?

Clearing a kitchen, bathroom, laundry or floor drain is $165, including up to 1.5 hours of service, and each additional drain on the same visit is $95. Toilet auger service is $145; if the toilet has to be pulled and reset, it’s $245.

How quickly can you respond to an emergency?

We’re available 24/7 and aim to respond as quickly as possible — often within the hour — to prevent further damage.

What is hydro jetting and when is it recommended?

Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water to scour the inside of your pipes, removing buildup, grease, scale and even tree roots. We recommend it for severe or recurring clogs and as preventative maintenance, especially for main sewer lines and commercial properties.
