A kitchen sink that drains slower every week, a shower that backs up mid-rinse, a floor drain that gurgles when the washer runs — these rarely fix themselves, and snaking the surface clog usually just buys a few weeks. Our Hickory drain team runs camera inspections to find the actual cause.
Every drain job in Hickory starts with a look inside the pipe, not a guess based on symptoms alone.
Our Hickory, KY drain crew is licensed and insured, trained specifically on camera equipment and hydro-jetting systems.
Trucks stocked with jetting and camera equipment are staged around Hickory so a backed-up drain doesn't sit for days.
The diagnosis determines the price, and that price is confirmed in writing before we start clearing anything.
These are the drain issues we see most often across Hickory, each handled with the equipment built for that specific cause.
Jetting scours the full diameter of the line, which is why it outperforms snaking on recurring grease and buildup problems.
A waterproof camera is fed through the line to locate the exact blockage, a bellied section, or root intrusion before any tool touches the pipe.
For a straightforward single-fixture clog, a mechanical auger clears the blockage without the cost of jetting equipment.
We clear root intrusion and camera-check the pipe afterward to see whether a liner or spot repair is also needed.
Grease buildup in kitchen lines is cleared with jetting, which handles congealed grease far better than a cable.
A maintenance plan on a recurring-clog line usually costs less over a year than repeat emergency calls.
Dispatch asks a few quick questions about the symptoms to route the right equipment on the first trip.
A technician with camera and jetting equipment arrives within the scheduled window, ready to diagnose on-site.
You'll see or hear what's actually in the line before agreeing to the recommended fix.
The drain is cleared and camera-verified afterward to confirm the line is actually open, not just flowing better temporarily.
