Drain & Sewer

Trenchless Sewer Repair in South Carolina

Q: The drain company cleared my clog but said I need a $6,000 pipe lining. Do I really?

Camera inspection footage is the only way to evaluate this claim — demand to watch the video or receive a copy. Pipe lining (CIPP) is legitimate for cracked or root-infiltrated pipes but is frequently oversold after a routine clearing job. Get a second opinion with their own camera inspection before committing to a major repair.

Q: Tree roots keep coming back into my sewer line every year. What's the permanent fix?

Annual hydrojetting removes roots but doesn't stop regrowth. Permanent solutions include: pipe lining (CIPP — seals the cracks roots enter through), pipe bursting (replaces the old pipe without trenching), or full pipe replacement. Which option depends on your pipe material and damage severity — a camera inspection will show you exactly what you're working with.

Q: I was quoted $95 for drain clearing and billed $750 when they were done. Is this legal?

This is a common complaint — advertised specials often apply only to simple cases and companies add charges for every complication. Legally, they must get your approval before performing work that exceeds the estimate. If you weren't told about additional charges before the work was done, you may be able to dispute the overcharge with your credit card or in small claims court.

Q: What's the difference between drain snaking and hydrojetting?

Snaking (mechanical augering) physically breaks through a clog but leaves buildup on pipe walls. Hydrojetting uses high-pressure water to completely clean pipe walls — far more thorough and effective for grease buildup, scale, and root debris. Hydrojetting costs more ($350–$600 vs. $100–$300 for snaking) but provides longer-lasting results and is required before pipe lining.

Q: My kitchen drain clogs constantly even after being cleared. What's causing it?

Recurring kitchen drain clogs almost always mean grease buildup on pipe walls — snaking clears the immediate blockage but leaves a narrowed pipe that re-clogs quickly. Hydrojetting cleans the entire interior. Long-term: avoid pouring grease down the drain, use a drain strainer, and run hot water for 30 seconds after dish soap goes down.

Common questions

Frequently asked questions in SC

My drain has been slow for weeks and just backed up into my basement. How urgent is this?

Very urgent. A complete sewer backup can mean sewage flooding your home — a biohazard that costs thousands to remediate. Call a plumber for same-day emergency drain clearing. While waiting, stop using all drains in the house (sinks, toilets, showers) to prevent worsening the backup. Any fixtures lower than the main sewer line are at highest risk.

The drain company cleared my clog but said I need a $6,000 pipe lining. Do I really?

Tree roots keep coming back into my sewer line every year. What's the permanent fix?

I was quoted $95 for drain clearing and billed $750 when they were done. Is this legal?
