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 Cornelius
Guests often flush wipes or pour cooking grease down the sink, and a full house runs more water than usual. That combination clogs drains fast. We clear the line and can leave you a short list of what not to flush to post for future guests.

Cornelius is about 24 miles from our base in Landis, roughly 35 minutes west on NC 152 and south on I-77. 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.
