Drain Cleaning reviews from Sylva
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.Sylva, NCGarbage disposal was humming and I assumed it was dead. Turned out to be a jam plus a partly blocked trap arm. Cleared both, no new unit needed. Appreciated the honesty.
Kevin T.Sylva, 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.

How much does drain cleaning cost in Sylva?
Most Sylva 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 Sylva 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.
