15 services, one licensed Charlotte plumber, open 24 hours.
We clear clogged sinks, tubs, toilets, floor drains and main lines, then tell you what caused the clog so it does not come back next month.
A slow kitchen sink or a tub that will not empty is an annoyance right up until it becomes a floor drain backing up at midnight. Alpha Drain clears clogged sinks, tubs, showers, toilets, floor drains and main sewer lines for homes and businesses across Charlotte, 24 hours a day.

We unclog kitchen sinks, tubs, showers, toilets, floor drains and main lines, 24 hours a day, and tell you what caused the blockage.
A clogged drain tells you where the problem is if you know how to read it. One slow sink is a clog in that sink's own line. A tub that fills when the washing machine drains is a clog further down, in the main. Alpha Drain unclogs kitchen sinks, bathroom sinks, tubs, showers, toilets, laundry and floor drains for homes and businesses in Charlotte, any hour of the day.

A drain cable pokes a hole through a blockage. Hydro jetting, also written hydrojetting or called sewer jetting, washes the inside of the pipe. A hose with a jetting nozzle goes into the line and sprays water at high pressure in every direction, cutting grease, soap scum, scale and small roots off the pipe wall and flushing them out to the main.

A camera on a flexible cable shows roots, cracks, bellies and breaks inside your sewer line, with the location marked, before you buy or repair.
A sewer line is the most expensive part of a plumbing system and the one part nobody can see. A camera inspection, also called a sewer scope or drain camera inspection, fixes that. We feed a waterproof camera on a flexible cable through the line, from the house to the connection at the street, and watch the footage live with you.
Learn More about Sewer Camera InspectionWe repair cracked, rooted and sagging sewer and drain pipes, starting with a camera so only the section that failed gets replaced.
When a sewer line cracks, separates or sags, no amount of drain cleaning keeps it clear for long. Alpha Drain repairs sewer and drain pipes for Charlotte homes and businesses, both the main line in the yard and the cast iron drain lines that run through crawlspaces.

If you received a letter from Charlotte Water saying your backflow assembly is due for testing, this is the page you need. Alpha Drain is on Charlotte Water's approved tester list and tests backflow prevention assemblies for homes, businesses, irrigation systems and fire lines. A certified tester checks the assembly with a calibrated gauge, and we send the results to the utility so the notice goes away.

We rebuild, replace and install backflow preventers, then retest and file the report, so a failed test is handled by one company.
A backflow assembly is a mechanical device with springs, seats and rubber parts that wear out. When one fails its annual test, drips from the relief port or freezes and cracks over the winter, it needs a plumber who knows these assemblies. Alpha Drain repairs, rebuilds, replaces and installs backflow preventers for Charlotte homes and businesses.
Learn More about Backflow Repair & InstallationWe repair, flush and replace tank water heaters and descale tankless units, with straight advice on whether a repair is worth the money.
A water heater rarely quits without warning. The water runs lukewarm, the tank starts to rumble, or a rusty puddle shows up at the base. Alpha Drain repairs and replaces water heaters for Charlotte homes and businesses, and we service them so they last: flushing sediment out of tanks and descaling tankless units.

We replace gas and electric water heaters to current code, with any required permit handled, the old tank hauled away and a 1-year labor warranty.
When a tank starts leaking from the body, it is finished. No repair will bring it back, and the leak only gets worse. Alpha Drain replaces gas and electric water heaters for Charlotte homes and businesses, with same-day service available when you have no hot water or water on the floor.

The leak you can see is the easy one. The costly ones are out of sight: a pinhole in a supply line under the house, a drain fitting that has rusted through, a service line leaking between the meter and the foundation. They show up as a water bill that jumped, a musty crawlspace, a warm spot on the floor or a meter that turns when nothing is running.

We install under-sink reverse osmosis systems and whole-home filters, plumbed correctly so they work and do not leak.
Municipal water in the Charlotte area is treated and tested to meet federal standards. Plenty of people still want more from the water they drink and cook with: less chlorine taste, fewer dissolved solids, and a barrier against whatever the pipes between the treatment plant and the kitchen add along the way.

Toilets, faucets, valves, supply lines, disposals and pipe repairs, done by a licensed plumber and covered by a 1-year labor warranty.
Most plumbing problems are not dramatic. A toilet that runs all night, a faucet that drips, a shutoff valve that is frozen in place, a hose bib that leaks every time you water the garden. Left alone, the small ones waste water and the wrong one fails at the worst time.

A licensed plumber checks the sewer line, supply piping, water heater, fixtures and backflow assemblies for buyers, agents and property managers.
A general home inspection covers a lot of ground quickly. It will note that the water runs and the toilets flush. It will not put a camera in the sewer line, tell you how much life is left in the water heater, or crawl the full length of the house looking at pipe.

A plumbing problem in a business is a revenue problem. A restaurant with a backed-up floor drain cannot serve. A shop with no working restroom loses customers. A building with an overdue backflow test gets a notice from the water provider. Alpha Drain handles commercial plumbing for Charlotte businesses and the people who manage their properties.
