Drain Cleaning for Matthews Homes
Matthews is about 55 minutes from our Landis base by I-85 and I-485. Homes from the 1970s and 1980s may have cast iron drains under the slab or in the crawl space. Those pipes rough up inside with age and catch grease and hair, so clogs come back faster than in plastic pipe.

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.

Matthews is about 42 miles from our base in Landis, roughly 55 minutes south on I-85 and around I-485. 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.
