Drain Cleaning reviews from Fontana Dam
Woke up to water coming through the kitchen ceiling. Called at 5am and had someone at the house before 7. He found the split line, showed me the failed fitting, and had it repaired and pressure tested by mid-morning. The price he quoted at the start is what I paid.
Marcus D.Fontana Dam, NCWater heater died the day before we had family arriving. They got a new one in the same afternoon, took the old one away, and fixed the venting that had apparently never been right. Would use again without thinking about it.
Greg W.Fontana Dam, NCFrozen pipe split in the crawlspace during that cold snap. They thawed it, replaced the section, and then insulated the run so it should not happen again. Explained everything as they went.
Lauren K.Fontana Dam, NCDrain Cleaning in Fontana Dam: common questions
How much does drain cleaning cost in Fontana Dam?
Most Fontana Dam branch drains fall in the $145 to $325 range and main line work runs higher depending on access. You get the exact number before we start.
Should I use a store-bought drain chemical first?
We would rather you did not. Caustic drain openers sit on top of a full blockage, can damage older pipe, and make the line hazardous to open. A cable or jet removes the material instead of burning at it.
What is the difference between cabling and hydro jetting?
A cable punches a hole through the blockage. Jetting scours the pipe wall back to full diameter with high-pressure water. For grease in a Fontana Dam restaurant line or heavy root growth, jetting is what lasts.
Do you camera the line every time?
On main line work, yes. On a single slow lavatory it is usually unnecessary and we will tell you so rather than sell it.
My drain keeps clogging every few months. Why?
Repeat clogs at the same interval usually mean a physical defect - a sag holding water, a root intrusion, or a bad slope. The camera finds it and we can price a repair instead of another clearing.
