Diagnose the cause. Fix it right. Done in one visit.
The shower drains slower every week. The kitchen sink gurgles when the washing machine runs. The basement floor drain backs up after heavy rain. The downstairs toilet bubbles whenever someone showers upstairs.
These aren't separate problems. They're symptoms of the same kind of failure. We diagnose the cause — not just clear the clog.
Failed drain assemblies, leaking traps, separated joints, cracked fittings under sinks, corroded drain bodies. Parts carried on the truck.
Cable, jetting, or hand-auger depending on the blockage. Priced by actual time and method.
Camera used before cabling on main lines. Protects fragile pipes from costly damage.
Mandatory for recurring blockages. Identifies grease, roots, scale, bellies, or separated joints.
Restores full pipe diameter for grease, scale, or heavy buildup. Only after verifying pipe condition.
Different causes require different fixes. We identify and resolve the root issue.
Scheduled maintenance for older Cornelius properties with clay or cast iron lines.
Fixture-specific repairs with common parts stocked on the truck.

Trenchless drain rehabilitation quoted by job after inspection
A homeowner called after three previous plumbers had cleared her kitchen drain over an 18-month period. Each visit produced two to three months of working drainage, then the same slowdown returned.
Our technician ran a camera on the first visit. The cause: a horizontal section of 40-year-old galvanized drain pipe with internal scale buildup reducing the effective diameter by more than half. The right repair was replacing the corroded section. Total cost: $685.
Diagnose first. Repair once. Stop spending money on the wrong solution.
Sometimes, for very light organic blockages. Usually not. They damage older pipes in Cornelius homes and complicate the work for any plumber who comes after. Best avoided.
Recurring clogs mean something below the clog is wrong. Belly, root intrusion, scaled pipe, or a venting issue. A camera answers it.
Standard repair work in Cornelius carries a one-year labor warranty. Cleaning work doesn't carry the same warranty because the underlying line condition isn't always something we control.
Same-day service is available most weekdays for non-emergency drain calls in Cornelius. Emergency main line backups are dispatched immediately.
Yes — and the assessment is part of the diagnostic. If cleaning is the right answer, we clean. If repair is the right answer, we explain why and quote it.
If you've cleared the same drain more than once, the next call should be for a diagnosis.
