Do you offer emergency service?
Our technicians are on call 24/7. Call directly to confirm current availability and timing.
Do you provide a price before work?
Call to discuss the problem and how the job will be assessed. Ask the technician to explain the proposed work and charges before authorizing service.
What should I mention when calling?
Describe affected fixtures, any sewage backup, your address, access to a cleanout if known, and prior attempts to clear the line.

Call directly for a current scheduling estimate. This website does not guarantee a response or arrival time.
Do you handle apartment drain problems?
Apartment communities are included in Dunnrite’s listed commercial accounts. Call with the property and affected fixtures.
Can you work around business hours?
Discuss access and scheduling by phone. Availability depends on the work and current schedule.
Cleaning & inspection
Can you inspect a sewer with a camera?
Yes. Camera inspection is available. Confirm access, scope and charges before work; visibility depends on the condition of the line.
Do you clean kitchen and bathroom drains?
We provide drain service for sinks, tubs, showers, and toilets. Call with the affected fixture and service address.
Is a slow drain always a sewer problem?
No. One affected fixture may have a local blockage. Multiple affected fixtures can point to a shared drain or sewer issue; diagnosis determines the next step.
What does camera inspection cost?
Call to discuss your sewer problem and confirm inspection scope and charges before work.
Can you inspect before a property purchase?
Call to discuss the property, access, and the scope of inspection needed. A pre-purchase inspection is a separate request, so mention it when you call.
Is hydro jetting the same as snaking?
No. A cable mechanically works through an obstruction; hydro jetting uses water pressure to clean a suitable line. The appropriate choice depends on the problem.
Can any pipe be hydro jetted?
No method should be assumed suitable for every line. Pipe condition, access, and the obstruction need evaluation.
Repair
Can sewer cleaning fix a broken pipe?
Cleaning addresses obstructions. It cannot rebuild a collapsed or broken section; a repair assessment may be needed.
Does every backup require replacement?
No. A removable blockage and a damaged line are different problems. Inspection and diagnosis help determine whether repair is appropriate.
Do you offer trenchless sewer repair?
Yes. Dunnrite offers trenchless sewer repair. Suitability depends on the line's condition, layout and available access; discuss the proposed method after the problem has been assessed.
Will roots grow back?
They may if the entry point remains. Inspection and a discussion of maintenance or repair can help plan for recurring problems.
Do I need to remove a tree?
Do not assume that tree removal is necessary from a blockage alone. Discuss the actual pipe findings and options with the technician.
