One drain or the main line

Is it one clogged drain or your main sewer line?

The answer changes the fix. Here is how to tell.

Probably one drain

Only one sink, tub or toilet is slow

Other fixtures drain normally

It started after something went down that drain

Probably the main sewer line

Several drains are slow at the same time

The toilet gurgles when the washer drains

Water comes up in the tub when you flush

You smell sewage or see water at the cleanout

Snaking or jetting

Drain snaking vs hydro jetting

We choose after we see the line on camera, not before.

Camera inspection

See inside your sewer line before you pay for a fix

We run a camera through the line and show you the footage: the clog, the roots, the crack or a clean pipe.

You see the problem on screen, not just hear about it

We match the fix to the pipe: snake, jet, repair or line

After jetting, a second pass shows the line is clear

4

We clean the line and check it

Snaking or hydro jetting, then we run water and check that it drains.

Triad sewer lines

Why drains and sewer lines clog in older Triad neighborhoods

Tree roots

Oak and maple roots find the joints in clay and cast iron lines.

Red clay that moves

Clay soil swells when wet and shrinks when dry, which shifts old pipe.

Old pipe materials

Clay, cast iron and Orangeburg pipe crack, rust and sag with age.

Trenchless pipe lining

Grease and wipes

Kitchen grease and flushable wipes build up in any pipe.

Before you book

Straight answers before you book drain cleaning

What does drain cleaning cost?

It depends on where the clog is, how bad it is and the method. You get the price before we start.

Will hydro jetting damage my pipes?

Not a sound pipe. We run a camera first on older lines, and we do not jet pipe that is broken or badly corroded.

Why does my drain keep clogging?

Snaking opens a hole through the clog but leaves the buildup on the pipe walls. Repeat clogs usually mean grease, roots or a damaged pipe, which a camera shows.

Can you show me what is wrong with my sewer line?

Yes. The camera shows the inside of the line, and we give you the footage.

FAQ

Questions We Get Asked About Drain Cleaning

Still not sure what you need? Call and ask. We will tell you straight whether it needs a visit.

If you are dealing with slow drains, recurring clogs, gurgling sounds, sewage odors, or backups in sinks, tubs, or toilets, it is time to call a pro. These symptoms usually mean there is buildup, grease, roots, or debris deep in the line that store-bought cleaners will not fix.

Drain snaking punches a hole through a clog to restore temporary flow. Hydro jetting fully cleans the inside of the pipe, removing grease, sludge, scale, and debris from wall to wall. If clogs keep coming back, hydro jetting is often the better long-term solution.

Yes, when it is done correctly. We inspect your drain or sewer line first to make sure hydro jetting is appropriate. It is safe for most modern plumbing and many older pipes when they are properly assessed.

Hydro jetting can remove small to moderate root intrusions, especially with the right nozzle. If roots have caused structural damage to the pipe, a sewer line repair or sewer line replacement may be needed, and we will tell you exactly what we find before moving forward.

Most drain cleaning takes less than an hour, depending on how severe the blockage is and how long the line is. Sewer line cleaning or heavy buildup can take longer.

We do not recommend chemical drain cleaners. They often fail to remove the full blockage, can damage pipes over time, and can create safety risks. Professional drain cleaning is safer and lasts longer.

Professional drain cleaning greatly reduces repeat clogs, especially with hydro jetting. No drain stays clear forever, but a proper cleaning restores full flow and helps prevent future backups.

Yes. Call (336) 784-4014 as soon as a drain or sewer line starts backing up and we will get a technician to you as quickly as we can.

For homes with heavy use, older plumbing, or past sewer problems, preventative drain cleaning can help avoid costly backups. Commercial properties often benefit from scheduled drain maintenance.

Cost depends on where the clog is, how severe it is, and the method used. We give you clear recommendations and upfront pricing before any work begins.
