How do I know if I need professional drain cleaning?If you notice slow draining sinks, frequent clogs, unpleasant odors, or gurgling sounds, it's time to call a professional. These are signs of buildup or a deeper blockage that DIY methods can’t fully resolve.
-
What’s the difference between a clogged drain and a sewer line blockage?A single clogged drain usually means a localized issue. If multiple fixtures are draining slowly or backing up, the problem is likely in the main sewer line, which requires specialized sewer line cleaning or inspection.
-
What methods do you use for drain cleaning?We use a variety of professional grade drain snakes and augers depending on the severity and location of the blockage. For deeper issues, we offer sewer camera inspections to identify the exact problem.
-
Is sewer camera inspection really necessary?Yes, sewer camera inspection is highly recommended, especially for recurring drain problems or suspected sewer damage. A camera inspection helps us locate cracks, tree roots, or collapsed pipes, allowing for precise and targeted repairs. This non-invasive method saves time and reduces the need for extensive digging.
-
Do you offer emergency drain cleaning services?Patriot Plumbing provides fast, most often same-day service for urgent plumbing stoppages in Temple, Killeen, and surrounding areas. At this time we do not offer 24-hour service.
-
How long does water heater installation take?Most often, installations will be completed in 2-6 hours. Times can vary depending on the location of your heater and any necessary code upgrades.
-
Will I need a permit?Permit requirements can vary greatly depending on your location. We will pull permits when required for our plumbing services. We believe in adhering to all local regulations and building codes to ensure the safety and legality of our work. Pulling permits is an essential part of our process to guarantee that our installations and repairs meet the necessary standards and are approved by the relevant authorities.
-
How do I know if the leak is in my yard and not in my home?We isolate the water supply and test pressure in different zones to determine where the leak is occurring.
-
How long does a slab leak repair take?Most repairs are completed within 1-2 days depending on the severity and location of the leak.
-
Do you offer financing?Yes, we do offer financing options! We understand that unexpected plumbing expenses can arise, and we want to make sure our services are accessible to everyone.
