Drain Cleaning
We offer a comprehensive range of drain cleaning solutions tailored to meet the needs of homeowners.
Custom Solutions
Mechanical Cleaning (Snaking)
We use flexible, high-quality drain snakes to physically break apart or retrieve clogs from kitchen sinks, bathroom drains, and showers. Our snakes are designed to navigate through various pipe bends without causing damage.
Hydro-Jetting
Chemical Cleaners
Maintenance & Support
Preventative Maintenance
We recommend monthly enzyme maintenance, which uses bacteria and enzymes to digest organic buildup and helps keep your drains clear and flowing between service visits.
Professional Service
Beyond products, we provide expert drain cleaning. Our technicians assess the issue and apply the most effective method, starting with the least invasive to protect your plumbing system.
Customer Education
We believe in helping homeowners prevent clogs through simple maintenance tips, including what not to flush or pour down the drain to keep everything running smoothly.
PlumbX has cleared drains in homes across Charleston, Mount Pleasant, James Island, and the wider Lowcountry, where old cast iron, tree roots, and pluff-mud settling all show up in local drain lines. We snake kitchen, shower, and main lines, hydro-jet when a line needs a full cleaning, and show you simple habits that keep clogs from coming back. Running a restaurant or facility instead? See our commercial drain cleaning page.
Kitchen sink, shower, or main line – what is the difference?
Kitchen clogs are usually grease and food buildup, shower clogs are hair and soap scum, and a main line clog backs up more than one fixture at once. If several drains are slow or gurgling together, it is the main line and needs attention right away.
What should I never flush or pour down the drain?
No grease or cooking oil, no coffee grounds, no “flushable” wipes, no paper towels, and no feminine or hygiene products. Those are the four things we pull out of Charleston home lines most often.
When is hydro-jetting needed instead of snaking?
Snaking punches through a clog; hydro-jetting scours the full pipe wall. If a line clogs repeatedly, has heavy grease or scale, or a camera shows buildup along the whole run, hydro-jetting is the fix.
