Drain Cleaning reviews from Spencer
Our irrigation backflow failed its test. They came out, fitted a repair kit, retested and filed the paperwork with the water department. I did not have to chase anything.
Simone B.Spencer, NCSewage smell in the crawlspace turned out to be a cracked cast iron section. They showed me on camera, explained what would happen if we left it, and gave me three options with prices. No scare tactics.
Robert A.Spencer, NCWoke 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.Spencer, NCDrain Cleaning in Spencer: common questions
How much does drain cleaning cost in Spencer?
Most Spencer 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 Spencer 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.
