How the Job Works
Test the drains
We run several fixtures to tell a single clog from a main line backup.
Explain the plan
We explain where the clog is, how we will clear it, and the estimate.
Clear the line
A drain cable, often called a snake, breaks up the clog inside the pipe.
Check the flow
We run water to confirm the drain flows well, then tell you what caused the clog.

Drain Cleaning Questions from Charlotte
Grease, food scraps and soap cool inside the drain line and harden into a thick coating. A grease trap that is not cleaned often makes it worse. We clear the line and can run a camera to see how much buildup remains, so you can plan regular cleaning.

Charlotte is about 33 miles from our base in Landis, roughly 45 minutes south on I-85. That puts it inside our regular service area. When you call, tell us your street and the problem so we can plan the visit and bring the right parts.
We use a drain cable, often called a snake. It is a long, flexible steel cable with a cutting head that we feed into the drain. It breaks up the clog so water can flow again. Then we run water at the fixture to check that it drains well.
