Verify the provider has general liability and workers compensation insurance. This protects you if they damage your property or get injured. Ask for a certificate of insurance. Uninsured workers shift all financial risk to the homeowner. Do not hire a contractor who cannot provide valid proof of coverage.
Most main lines have a cleanout plug. It is usually near the foundation or where the pipe enters the house. If no cleanout exists, access might be through a toilet or floor drain. Ask how they will access the line. Poor access makes the job slower and more expensive due to extra setup time.
Tree roots seek water and enter small pipe cracks. You might see grass growing oddly damp in the yard. A camera scope confirms root intrusion. Chemical root killers offer a temporary fix. Mechanical cutting or pipe lining is a permanent solution. Ask if roots are the cause before choosing a repair method.
If the pipe is damaged, relining offers a non-invasive fix. A flexible liner is inserted and cured in place. This restores structural integrity without digging up your yard. It is ideal for large trees or paved areas. Ask about the liner material and its expected lifespan. Typically, these liners last over 50 years.
Older homes often use cast iron or clay pipes. Modern builds use PVC or ABS. Clay cracks easily under high pressure. Iron corrodes over time. Ask the worker to check pipe age before starting. Using a hydraulic jet on fragile clay can cause immediate leaks that cost more to fix.
Ask if they guarantee the clear for a specific period. Some offer a 1 month warranty. If the clog returns within that time, they should return for free. Ask about post-service care. Regular maintenance prevents quick recurrence. Without a warranty, you pay again if the blockage reformulates within weeks.
Clarify what the warranty covers. Some covers last 90 days, others 1 year. Ask if it covers labor, parts, or both. Understand the conditions that void the warranty. For example, new grease buildup might not be covered. Get the warranty terms in writing before signing any contract.
Identify if the clog is a hair mass or solid waste. Hair mats form in bathroom traps, while grease solidifies in kitchen lines. A professional uses a camera scope to see the exact blockage point. Ask if they include video inspection in the quote. This prevents digging without a clear plan.
Clear the area around sinks and toilets. Keep pets away from the work zone. Do not run water while they are working. You may need to provide a bucket for overflow. Ask what you must prepare. This speeds up the process and prevents accidental water damage to your floors or cabinets.
Hydro jetting uses water at 4,000 to 5,000 psi to clean pipes. This method removes grease, scale, and roots effectively. Ensure the technician uses the correct nozzle for your pipe size. Older plastic pipes may crack under extreme pressure. Verify the operator checks the pressure gauge before starting the job.
