Don’t Dig Before Calling Us!
Most “unfixable” drains can actually be saved with our industrial-grade technology. Many companies push for costly excavation because they lack the equipment to clear tough blockages. At Insta Drain, we specialize in “Save-the-Pipe” solutions. If we can’t clear it, nobody can. Always get a professional second opinion before you tear up your yard or driveway.
Frequently Asked Questions About Our Services
What are the immediate steps for a sewage backup emergency?
Stop using all water in the house immediately and avoid contact with waste water. Call Insta Drain. We will guide you through the necessary safety steps over the phone until our service truck arrives at your property to resolve the situation.
What are the warning signs of a main sewer line blockage?
If multiple fixtures (toilet, shower, sink) are backing up at once, or if you hear gurgling noises from your drains, it’s likely a main line issue. Our high-definition camera inspections can pinpoint exactly where the clog is located to avoid guesswork.
How do you determine the pricing for your services?
We believe in total transparency. We provide upfront estimates after our initial diagnostic. Whether it’s flat-rate pricing for standard cleanings or detailed quotes for advanced repairs, you will never see hidden fees or surprise charges on your bill.
Do you offer "Trenchless" sewer repair options?
Yes! We specialize in Trenchless Pipe Lining (CIPP). This allows us to fix cracks and leaks by creating a “pipe-within-a-pipe” using epoxy resin, without excavating your landscaping or breaking your concrete driveway.
Will Hydro-Jetting damage my older Philadelphia plumbing?
Before we jet any line, we perform a mandatory camera inspection. If your pipes are fragile or corroded, we adjust our pressure settings or recommend a safer solution. We specialize in maintaining the integrity of Philly’s historic infrastructure.
Is Hydro-Jetting better than traditional drain snaking?
While a snake punches a hole through a clog, Hydro-Jetting uses 4000 PSI of water pressure to “scrub” the pipe walls clean. It removes grease, scale, and roots that a snake leaves behind, restoring your pipe to its original flow capacity.
How fast can Insta Drain respond to a sewer emergency?
We provide 24/7 emergency response throughout Philadelphia, Delaware County, and South Jersey. Our team is strategically positioned to arrive quickly, diagnose the blockage, and restore your system’s flow as fast as possible.
Does your sewer and drain work come with a guarantee?
We stand behind our work with competitive warranties on all major repairs and lining services. Our goal is to provide a long-term solution rather than a temporary fix, ensuring your system stays clear for years to come.
Is Insta Drain & Sewer fully licensed and insured?
Yes. We are fully licensed and insured to operate across PA, NJ, and DE. We follow the highest safety and environmental standards, providing both our residential and commercial clients with total peace of mind.
Do you perform traditional trenching or excavation?
At Insta Drain, we treat excavation as a last resort. Our primary goal is to solve your sewer issues using trenchless technology like pipe lining or high-pressure hydro-jetting to save your yard and driveway. However, if a pipe is structurally collapsed and cannot be saved, we have the heavy equipment and expertise to perform professional excavation and replacement. We do everything possible to clear the line first, but we have the “muscle” to dig and fix it if that is the only way to restore your service.
