Drain Unclogging in Charlotte, NC
Unclogged today, and told why
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.
We clear the blockage, run water to prove it, and tell you what caused it. If it turns out to be more than a clog, we can step up to full drain cleaning of the line, hydro jetting for grease and scale, or a camera inspection to see the pipe.

Grease, food and the disposal
Kitchen lines clog with grease that cools and hardens on the pipe wall, then catches everything after it. Coffee grounds, rice, pasta and eggshells pack into it. We clear the line past the trap and into the wall, check the disposal, and can jet the line if grease has narrowed it along its length.
Hair, soap and things that should not be flushed
Bathroom clogs are mostly hair bound with soap in tubs and showers, and wipes, too much paper or a dropped object in toilets. A proper cable clears the line without scratching the fixture. If a toilet clogs again and again, the problem is often in the line below it, and we check that too.
When more than one drain is affected
Water coming up in a tub or floor drain when you flush means the main sewer line is blocked. Stop running water and call. We open the main through a cleanout, clear it, and recommend a camera inspection when the cause looks like roots or a damaged pipe.

Why call Alpha Drain for a clogged drain
Unclogging drains is the most common call we get, and the one where an honest plumber matters most. You hear the price before we start. If a cable clears it, that is all you pay for. We will not turn a hair clog into a sewer replacement.
We answer the phone 24 hours a day, same-day visits are available, and Spyro brings 15 years of experience to telling a simple clog from a pipe problem.
Get a Fast QuoteTry this first, then call
- One slow fixture: use a plunger or a hand auger, and clean the stopper or trap if you can reach it
- Skip chemical drain openers. They rarely clear a real clog and they are hard on old pipes
- A toilet that will not plunge clear after a few tries needs a closet auger or a plumber
- More than one fixture slow or backing up at once: stop using water and call, because that is the main line
- Sewage coming up through a tub, shower or floor drain is an emergency at any hour
- The same drain clogging every few weeks means something in the pipe is catching debris
What drain unclogging costs in Charlotte
A single fixture clog reached through its trap is the least expensive call. A main line that has to be reached from a roof vent or a pulled toilet takes more time and costs more. Heavy grease or roots may need jetting on top of cabling.
Describe the problem at (980) 408-1705 and we can usually give you a range by phone. You always get the price on site before work begins.

Clogged Drains Questions, Answered
Start with a plunger: a cup plunger for sinks and tubs, a flange plunger for toilets. Block the overflow opening on a tub or sink so the plunger can build pressure. If that fails, a hand auger from the hardware store will reach a clog in the trap or just beyond it. Avoid chemical drain openers. If two tries do not clear it, call.
That points to a blockage in the main sewer line, not in the toilet or tub. Waste water cannot get past the clog, so it rises at the lowest opening in the house, usually a tub, shower or floor drain. Stop running water and call. It will not clear on its own.
One slow sink can wait for a scheduled visit. Sewage backing up into a fixture, a toilet that overflows, or every drain in the house stopping at once is an emergency. Alpha Drain answers 24 hours a day for those.
Unclogging removes the blockage so water flows again. Drain cleaning clears the line along its full length so it stays clear longer. A first-time hair clog only needs unclogging. A line that clogs repeatedly needs cleaning, and sometimes hydro jetting or a camera inspection.
Yes. We handle clogs for restaurants, shops, offices and property managers, including after hours. See commercial plumbing.
