Sewer & Drain Cleaning

Hydro-jetting and camera inspection on every job. We clear it, then we show you why it happened.

What we do

Sewer & Drain Cleaning in Charlotte.

Drain blockages aren't random — there's always a cause. We don't just clear the line and leave. We hydro-jet the obstruction, run a camera through the cleared line, and show you exactly what we found. Roots, grease buildup, broken pipe, or just years of soap scum — you'll know what's going on.

01

Hydro-jetting

High-pressure water cuts through grease, mineral buildup, and root intrusion. More thorough than mechanical snaking — and gentler on older clay or cast-iron lines.

02

Camera inspection

Color video inspection of the cleared line. We record what we find and walk you through it before recommending next steps.

03

Recurring backup diagnosis

When a drain backs up repeatedly, the issue is usually upstream. We trace the line and find the actual cause — collapsed pipe, root mass, belly in the line — instead of just clearing it again.

  • A snake punches a hole through the clog. Hydro-jetting scours the inside of the pipe — much more thorough. For recurring clogs or grease lines, jetting is the right call. For a one-off, a snake is fine.
