From a sluggish shower drain to a completely backed-up sewer line — we diagnose the cause and clear it permanently. Same-day service available.
A slow kitchen drain is a grease problem. Multiple drains backing up simultaneously is a main sewer line problem. Water coming out of the tub when you flush the toilet is a critical emergency. Triad Plumbing Pro diagnoses which situation you're actually in before we quote — because treating a sewer line backup like a simple drain clog wastes your money and leaves the real problem in place.
High Point's older neighborhoods — Emerywood, Sherwood Forest, downtown-adjacent homes along Main Street and Kivett Drive — have sewer laterals that may be original cast iron or clay tile from the 1940s–1960s. Root intrusion from the city's mature oak and sweet gum canopy is a primary driver of recurring drain problems in these areas. We carry both cable snakes and hydro jetting equipment on every truck.
📞 Call Now — 336-422-7560We ask which drains are affected, whether multiple drains are involved, and whether there's sewage odor. This tells us whether it's a local clog or a main line issue before we arrive.
We inspect the affected drains and may run a camera down the main line to confirm the blockage type and location before recommending a method.
Single fixture clogs: cable snake. Recurring grease clogs, root intrusion, or main line issues: hydro jetting at 3,000–4,000 PSI for a truly clean pipe.
We run water to confirm full flow is restored, then walk you through what caused the clog and how to prevent recurrence.

For recurring clogs or main line issues, we run a camera before recommending treatment. You see exactly what we see.
Our trucks carry full hydro jetting equipment — the only method that actually cleans the pipe walls, not just punches a hole through the clog.
If your pipe needs camera inspection before jetting (old cast iron), we'll tell you. We don't jet fragile pipes — we give you the right solution for your situation.
Had the same kitchen drain clogging every few months. Other plumbers just snaked it. Triad ran a camera, found a grease buildup 40 feet in, and hydro jetted it. Hasn't clogged once since.
Sewage was backing up into our Emerywood home's basement floor drain. They came out same day, found root intrusion in the cast iron lateral, and cleared it with the jet. Explained exactly what happened and what to watch for. Excellent.
Simple shower drain clog — they came out, cleared it in 20 minutes, and didn't try to sell me anything extra. Honest, fast, fair price. That's all you want.
Recurring clogs — especially in the same drain within 30 days — almost always indicate either root intrusion in the main line or a structural issue (pipe belly or crack) that a standard snake can't fix. We recommend a sewer camera inspection to see exactly what's happening. Hydro jetting plus camera confirmation is the permanent solution for most recurring drain problems.
We don't recommend them for anything beyond a hair clog at the trap. Chemical cleaners don't clear grease buildup further in the line, don't address root intrusion, and the lye/sulfuric acid formulations degrade pipe joint material over time. They also create a hazardous chemical environment for the plumber who has to work on your drain afterward.
A cable snake punches through a blockage but leaves residue on pipe walls. Hydro jetting (3,000–4,000 PSI water) fully emulsifies grease, cuts root hairs, and leaves pipe walls clean — resulting in significantly longer time before recurrence. Jetting costs more upfront but saves money for homes with recurring grease or root problems.
In most cases, yes. Cable snaking and hydro jetting both work through the existing cleanout access without excavation. Excavation is only needed if the pipe has collapsed or if a camera inspection reveals structural damage requiring section replacement.
If only one fixture is affected, it's almost certainly a local clog. If multiple drains are running slow simultaneously, if water backs up in the tub when you flush the toilet, or if sewage is coming up through floor drains — that's a main line issue and should be treated as an emergency.
