Drain Cleaning FAQs
How much does drain cleaning cost in Charlotte?
Drain cleaning in Charlotte typically costs $150-$350 depending on the severity and location of the clog. Hydro jetting for stubborn blockages ranges from $350-$600. ArtFix Plumbing provides upfront pricing before any work begins — you always know the cost before we start.
How do I know if I need professional drain cleaning?
Signs you need professional drain cleaning include slow-draining sinks or tubs, gurgling sounds from drains, recurring clogs despite plunging, sewage odors coming from drains, and water backing up in multiple fixtures. If you notice any of these, call a licensed plumber rather than relying on chemical drain cleaners.
What is hydro jetting and when is it needed?
Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water (up to 4,000 PSI) to blast through grease buildup, tree roots, mineral deposits, and stubborn blockages inside your drain and sewer lines. It is the most thorough drain cleaning method available and is recommended for recurring clogs or heavily scaled pipes.
Are chemical drain cleaners safe to use?
Chemical drain cleaners can damage your pipes over time, especially older cast iron or PVC pipes. They also pose health risks and rarely clear the full blockage. Professional mechanical or hydro jetting drain cleaning is safer for your plumbing, more effective, and actually removes the clog instead of just dissolving part of it.
How often should drains be professionally cleaned?
For most Charlotte homes, we recommend professional drain cleaning every 1-2 years as preventive maintenance. Homes with older plumbing, large trees near sewer lines, or frequent clog issues may benefit from annual cleaning. Regular maintenance prevents emergency backups and extends the life of your pipes.

Yes. ArtFix Plumbing provides 24/7 emergency drain cleaning throughout the Charlotte metro area. If you have a completely blocked drain, sewage backup, or flooding situation, call 980-405-4186 and we will dispatch a plumber to you within 30-45 minutes.
