Frequently Asked Questions About Sewer and Drain Cleaning

Keeping your drains clean and clog-free is key to an efficient plumbing system. One way to do this is by investing in regular drain cleaning in Brookhaven, GA. As experts in drain cleaning, you can count on NGI Trenchless Pipe & Sewer Repair for quality and efficient service. We answer some of the most common questions we get about drain cleaning below: 

1. How quickly will my drain get fixed?

The time it takes to unclog the drain depends on various factors such as the extent of the clog or damage, your house infrastructure, and the nature of the clog. While a minor unclogging with a drain snaking or hydro jetting tool may take less than half an hour, a major one such as a clog due to rusting pipes may require a few days. Our professionals will provide an accurate response time and notify you of any delay with advanced notice.

2. How much can I expect to pay for the service?

How much you will pay is determined by the method used, the damage repair involved, and diagnosis of the clogged drain. We will give you a price based on your requirement, be it for drain cleaning or repairing the pipes. Any changes to the quote will be mutually approved. Unless there is an unforeseen condition, the price should remain the same as quoted.

3. Should I repair or replace the drain/sewer line?

This decision is based on whether or not your drain pipes can be cleaned as it is. If there is a heavy root intrusion, or the pipes have deteriorated completely, replacement may be inevitable. Otherwise, a good cleaning with our professional tools and techniques is enough to bring the drains to their original shape.

Another reason to replace the lines is when a back-pitch exists. In such a case, an extensive section of the pipe is replaced to bring it back to the correct pitch. Additionally, if the sewer or drain lines have suffered through years of frequent clogs and thousands of dollars spent on drain cleaning services every year, it could be time to replace the line.
