Snake first, jet when the snake quits

A slow sink, a gurgling tub, a floor drain that smells, water backing up: a Wilmington call for any of them starts with a snake. When snaking will not finish the job, the crew moves to hydro jetting. Homes, businesses and outdoor drains are all on the same truck.

Older houses are where this work earns its keep. Pipes that have been in a wall for a century collect scale and roots, and a clog there is usually a symptom of the line, not just the fixture. The drain cleaning page lists the signs to watch for.

While safe for most pipes, Drains By James is not responsible for the failure of pipes that are already broken, paper-thin due to rust, or improperly installed.

“...they have saved us a few times by unclogging drains in our turn of the century old house.”

Lined from the inside, so the yard stays put

Trenchless pipe lining starts the same way every time: a camera down the line, then hydro jetting to prepare the pipe. A resin-coated liner is inverted into the old pipe and cures into a like-new pipe inside it. There is no excavation, no landscaping to restore and no heavy machinery, and the old pipe stays where it is.

Cast iron can be restored this way, and results can last 50 years or more with proper care. For a single hole or a rust-damaged stretch, a VERSA patch repair covers just that section. One customer wrote that the crew made the four inch iron pipe from the house to the septic tank “like new,” and wished they had known about the company twenty years sooner.

The one job that falls to you: keep fixtures off while the resin cures, as the technician instructs. New customers get $500 off any pipe lining repair. The full method is on the pipe lining page.
