Q: What's the difference between drain cleaning and hydro jetting?
A: Drain cleaning typically involves using snaking tools or augers to clear clogs. Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water streams to thoroughly clean the inside of pipes, removing stubborn blockages, grease buildup, roots, and other debris, providing a more comprehensive cleaning solution.
Q: When should I consider hydro jetting?
A: Hydro jetting is ideal for recurring clogs, slow drains, grease buildup, root intrusion, or when traditional snaking hasn't fully resolved the issue. It's also an excellent preventative maintenance measure.
Q: What causes drain clogs?
A: Common causes include hair, grease, food particles, soap scum, foreign objects, and tree root intrusion into pipes.

Q: Why is my sump pump not working?
A: Common issues include a stuck float switch, power failure, clogged discharge pipe, motor failure, or the pump being overwhelmed by too much water.
Q: Do you repair all types of sump pumps?
A: Our technicians are experienced in repairing a wide variety of sump pump makes and models. We'll diagnose the issue and provide an effective repair solution.
Q: How often should I have my sump pump checked?
A: It's a good practice to test your sump pump periodically, especially before heavy rain seasons. We recommend annual inspections to ensure it's functioning correctly and to identify potential issues before they become major problems.

Q: What is a drain camera inspection?
A: A drain camera inspection involves inserting a high-resolution waterproof camera into your pipes to visually inspect the interior of your drainage system. This allows us to identify the exact location and nature of clogs, damage, or other issues without invasive digging.
Q: When is a camera inspection necessary?
A: Camera inspections are highly recommended for recurring clogs, identifying the cause of slow drains, before purchasing a new home, locating lost items in drains, or assessing pipe condition after a major blockage.
Q: What can a camera inspection reveal?
A: A camera inspection can reveal blockages, cracks, collapses, misaligned pipes, root intrusion, grease buildup, foreign objects, and overall pipe deterioration.
