Frequently Asked Questions
Can tree roots really get into a drain line?
Yes — roots are drawn to the moisture inside drain and sewer lines and can enter through small cracks or joints, gradually causing blockages or pipe damage. This is a common cause of recurring main line backups.
Is DrainFast the company that clears the drain?
DrainFast is a referral network — we connect you with independent, local drain cleaning professionals rather than sending our own crew. Licensing and insurance can be confirmed directly with the technician before work begins.
Will a chemical drain cleaner fix this myself?
Store-bought chemical cleaners can sometimes clear minor clogs, but they often just push the blockage further down the line rather than removing it, and repeated use can damage older pipes. For a persistent or full blockage, mechanical clearing is usually more effective.
What does drain cleaning typically cost?
Cost depends on the type of clog, its location, and what method is needed — a simple sink clog versus main line hydro-jetting, for example. Pricing is discussed directly with the technician after they've assessed the blockage.
What should I do while waiting for a technician to arrive?
Avoid running additional water into the affected drain, and don't use chemical drain cleaners right before a technician arrives, since residual chemicals can be a safety concern during mechanical clearing.
