Drain Cleaning in Charlotte, NC
Clogged drain? We clear it and find out why
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.
Clearing the blockage is half the job. Many of Charlotte's older neighborhoods still run on cast iron and clay sewer pipe, and the roots of the big street oaks find every joint. If a line keeps clogging, we can follow up with a sewer camera inspection to see what is catching debris, then recommend hydro jetting or a repair only if the pipe needs it. For one blocked sink, tub or toilet, see clogged drain repair.

Kitchen, bath, laundry or main line
Grease in a kitchen line, hair in a shower trap, wipes in a toilet, roots in the main. Each one needs a different cable head and a different way in. We bring the right machine to the right access point and open the full width of the pipe, not just a hole through the middle of the clog.
Find out why it clogged
A drain that clogs twice in a year is telling you something. It may be a sag in the pipe, a broken joint, heavy scale inside old cast iron, or roots. When the pattern points to a pipe problem we put a camera down the line and show you the footage, so you decide what happens next.
You hear the price first
We tell you the cost before we start. If we open the line and find it needs more than a cable, we stop, show you what we found and go over your options. Customers have said it in their reviews: no upselling and no pressure.

Why Charlotte calls Alpha Drain for clogged drains
Drains are in our name because they are the calls we take most. Spyro has spent 15 years clearing lines and repairing the pipes behind them, so the person at your door can tell a simple clog from a failing sewer line. We answer the phone at any hour, same-day visits are available, and we leave the work area clean.
One honest note. Drain cleaning does not carry our labor warranty, because nobody can promise what goes down a drain tomorrow. If the camera shows a broken pipe and we repair it, that repair is covered for a year.

- Water pools around your feet in the shower or drains slowly from a sink
- A toilet or tub gurgles when another fixture drains
- A sewage smell comes from a floor drain, shower or sink
- More than one fixture backs up at once, which points to the main line
- Water rises in the tub or shower when you flush or run the washer
- The same clog returns within weeks of being cleared
What drain cleaning costs in Charlotte
The price depends on which line is clogged, how easy it is to reach and what is in it. A hair clog in a tub trap is a small job. A main line packed with roots that has to be reached from a roof vent takes longer and costs more.
We give you the price for your situation before work begins. Call (980) 408-1705 with a description of the problem and we can usually give you a range over the phone.
How a drain cleaning visit works
- You call or text and tell us which fixtures are affected. That tells us whether it is a branch line or the main before we arrive.
- We find the best way in, usually a cleanout, a trap arm or a pulled toilet, and protect the floor around it.
- We run a cable machine with a head sized for the pipe and work it until the line flows at full bore.
- We test by running water through every fixture that was affected.
- If the line shows signs of a pipe problem, we offer a camera inspection so you can see it for yourself.

Drain Cleaning Questions, Answered
Same-day service is available and we answer the phone 24 hours a day. A sewage backup or an overflowing fixture is treated as an emergency. For a slow drain that can wait, most visits are scheduled within 24 to 48 hours.
We would skip it. Liquid drain openers rarely clear a real blockage, they can damage older pipes, and they leave caustic water sitting in the line that the plumber then has to work around. A plunger or a hand auger is safer. If that does not work, call.
Repeat clogs usually mean something in the pipe is catching debris: tree roots in a joint, a low spot holding water, scale inside old cast iron, or grease coating a kitchen line. A camera inspection shows which one it is. Grease and scale respond well to hydro jetting.
No. Our 1-year labor warranty covers repairs and installations. Drain cleaning is excluded because a clog can come back for reasons nobody controls, like what gets flushed. If we repair the pipe that is causing the clogs, that repair is covered.
Yes. We clear lines for restaurants, shops and offices, and we work with property managers who need a clogged unit handled without a lot of back and forth. Kitchen and grease lines in commercial spaces usually do best with scheduled hydro jetting.
