Family owned, Wilmington based, and nobody on the job we didn’t hire

Drains By James is locally owned and operated, a family business that opened in 2007 and works out of 190 Main Street, Unit 6 in Wilmington. Sewer and drain cleaning, camera inspection and trenchless pipe lining are the whole trade, and the shop is open around the clock.

The person who shows up works for us. We don’t pass jobs to subcontractors, and every technician is background-checked before they come into your house, your tenant’s unit or your shop. They arrive on time and bring the tools to finish most jobs on the spot, so most jobs are done on the first visit.

Nobody leans on you to decide. You get what the camera found, the published price from our pricing page, and a straight read on whether snaking, a jet or a liner is the right fix. Customers describe that in their own words on the reviews page.
