"They showed up on time, and did great work. The drain was a mess from previous owners as you can see. They were neat and professional and cleaned up after themselves. I will use these guys again definitely as I assume we’re going to have problems in other areas after seeing what was in the pipe. "

We practice the best plumbing techniques in the industry, and we service all of NE NC and the Albemarle Region. So when you're looking for the best plumbing contractors in our beautiful rural community to fix your well pump, or your toilet overflows, or you have a clogged drain line, or water heater goes out our plumbers can be sent to your family’s home very quickly, no matter where you live in NE North Carolina. Plumbing is much more than just pipes in your bathroom or kitchen. It’s one of the most complicated systems in your home.

"I have nothing but good things to say about their business. I want to give a great big thank you for helping me in an emergency situation with my septic issue. They fit me in their very busy schedule on the same day I called panicking about what I had going on. Once the tank was pumped, there were other issues that needed immediate attention and were taken care of right then. I was worried about the cost, and ended up with a very reasonable invoice for all the immediate service I received. I would highly recommend Forbes Plumbing & Septic if you want excellent customer and plumbing services at a reasonable rate!"

Sewer Cleaning questions, answered by experts

Some flushable wipes companies say they are designed to disintegrate within a few hours to a few days after being flushed. These wipes allegedly use materials that are more water-soluble than traditional wipes. However, many experts have raised concerns that even so-called "flushable" wipes do not break down as easily as claimed and can contribute to clogs and blockages in sewer systems.

To prevent plumbing and sewer problems, avoid flushing wipes, even those labeled as flushable. Instead, dispose of them in the trash. This can help prevent costly plumbing issues and reduce the strain on wastewater treatment systems.

In most areas, drain cleaning professionals don’t technically need a license, as they aren’t altering your plumbing system in any way. However, we recommend hiring a drain cleaning professional with a plumbing license and certification. Certified plumbers are more likely to provide professional solutions to drain clogs without damaging your system. They’ll also have the diagnostic tools and experience necessary to remove the clog entirely rather than providing a temporary solution, as a handyperson might. Use Angi’s state licensing tool to check your plumber’s professional licenses before hiring.

Simple blockages can be cleared using household plungers or manual snakes, provided no severe plumbing issues exist.

The average cost to snake your main sewer line is around $250 for a simple snake. Most sewer line specialists charge between $45 and $200 per hour for main sewer line snaking, so the time involved plays a major role. The price you’ll pay will depend on the severity of the clog, the item causing the backup, how long it takes to remove the item, and more. A more severe issue that requires unclogging a main sewer line will cost $3,100 on average.

Unlike regular cleanings, snaking your sewer line should be done as needed. There’s no reason to snake your sewer line if you don’t have any noticeable issues, like slow drainage or plugged drains. You can add it to your regular sewer cleaning checklist as a prevention method (on the same 18- to 22-month schedule), but it’s not always necessary.
