Happy Clients
AJ was so kind and did a great job clearing a kitchen sink clog and replacing my garbage disposal. I’m a single mom and had my youngest kid home with me during the appointment. It’s so important to me that I’m comfortable with any service person that’s in my home. He explained everything he was doing, was polite, and chatted with me about wanting an island in his kitchen and how much he wants to go to Disney for Halloween. It was a great experience with ARC!

Drain Cleaning Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between drain cleaning and drain clearing?
Drain clearing restores flow by removing the immediate blockage. Drain cleaning is the broader term homeowners commonly use for professional clog removal and may involve addressing buildup inside the pipe. ARC Plumbing evaluates the location and likely cause of the clog before recommending the appropriate method.
How do I know if I have a clogged drain or a main sewer-line blockage?
A single slow sink, shower, or tub usually indicates a clog in that fixture’s drain line. When several fixtures back up at the same time—or flushing a toilet causes water to rise in a shower or tub—the blockage may be in the main sewer line. Stop using water and contact a plumber if sewage is entering the home.
How much does professional drain cleaning cost in Raleigh?
The cost depends on the location and severity of the blockage, the accessibility of the drain, and whether the problem involves an individual fixture or the main drain line. ARC Plumbing provides a free in-home evaluation and explains the flat-rate price before any approved work begins.
Can chemical drain cleaners damage my pipes?
Chemical drain cleaners can generate heat, damage certain piping materials, and create a safety hazard for anyone working on the drain afterward. They also may open only a small passage through the clog without removing its underlying cause. For recurring, completely blocked, or multiple clogged drains, professional diagnosis is the safer choice.
