Price

What's the cost of drain clearing in Raleigh, NC?

While we can’t give an exact estimate without an in-home inspection, we can say that the majority of drain clearings in Raleigh tend to fall within this price range:

  • Low $249
  • Our Average $499
  • High $900

How do we determine the cost of your drain clearing?

  • Identifying the source. The price of your drain clearing can depend on where your clog is located and how difficult it is to access. There are two types of drains: a main line and a secondary drain line. A clog in your main sewer line will be more expensive to clear than a clog in your secondary line.
  • Determining the severity of the clog. Your cost can increase depending on how extreme or complicated your clog is. Generally, mild clogs (like hair, food, toilet paper, or hygiene products stuck in your drain line) can be easily removed with plumbing snakes or drain-cleaning cable machines. Tougher clogs (caused by fats, oils, or grease buildup) require more powerful tools and labor, increasing cost.
  • Using a video camera for inspection. If your plumber can’t see the clog with their naked eye or is unsure of its exact location, a camera for inspection may be required, which can increase your cost.
  • Reviewing active warranties: We factor active plumbing warranties on parts or labor into the total estimate.

  2. Find out who your plumber will be

    To ensure things run smoothly on the day of your drain-clearing appointment, we confirm your appointment beforehand and send you an email with information about your plumber. This email will typically include interesting facts about their background, their name, photo, and a short bio.

Our plumbers come prepared in fully-stocked trucks to attack the most stubborn clogs and dirtiest drains. But no matter how messy the job gets, our plumbers always use drop cloths and wear shoe covers to keep your home in tip-top shape.

FAQs

Drain Clearing Frequently Asked Questions

  • Avoid using chemical drain cleaners. They present a risk to the health of the people in your home, and they're harsh on the environment. They also corrode your pipes, eventually leading to leaks and bursts.

  • First, try using a small plunger. You could also try an enzymatic drain cleaner that won't corrode your pipes.

    If neither of these options works, it may be best to contact a local emergency plumber to clear the backup.

  • Your drain may have a clog if you have:

    • Slower-than-usual draining in your sinks or showers
    • Odd gurgling noises coming from your drains
    • Sewer smells
    • Water coming out of the drain
    • Toilet bubbling when a sink is used

  • You should have your drain lines cleaned at least once every few years, even if you haven't had any clogs. Routine cleaning will stop surprise backups and protect the long-term health of your pipes.

  • Apart from regular maintenance, here are some other strategies you can use to protect your drains:

    • Set up traps in your sink and shower to catch food and hair before it goes down the drain.
    • Wash baking soda and hot water down your drain every few days. The combination helps break up small clogs.
    • Ensure your pipes are installed correctly by working with a professional.
