Drain Cleaning in Chapel Hill, NC
A backed-up sink, tub, or floor drain doesn’t fix itself, and store-bought chemicals usually just push the problem down the line. Boer Brothers clears the clog completely with professional cabling, hydro jetting, and camera inspection, and we’ve served Chapel Hill, Durham, and the Triangle since 2007.

Your Trusted Drain Cleaning Experts
When a drain slows down or backs up, the goal isn’t to make it trickle again for a week, it’s to clear the blockage completely so it stays clear. Boer Brothers cleans clogged sink, tub, shower, toilet, and floor drains across the Triangle, and we diagnose why the drain clogged so it doesn’t come right back. Hair and soap scum, kitchen grease, foreign objects, or tree roots working into an older line all get cleared differently, and we use the right tool for the cause instead of pouring in chemicals that corrode your pipes.
Boer Brothers has been a family-owned name in Chapel Hill since 2007, with a 4.9-star rating on Google across the Triangle. Eighteen years in, our licensed plumbers show up in stocked trucks, give you an upfront price before any work starts, and clean up after themselves. The price we quote is the price you pay, with no surprise add-ons and no pressure to buy a service you don’t need.
If a simple cabling clears your drain, that’s all we’ll do. If a camera shows the real problem is deeper in the line, we’ll show you the footage and walk you through your options in plain language. Either way you get a straight answer from a local team your neighbors already trust for their heating, cooling, and plumbing, backed by 365-day emergency service when a backup can’t wait.
Drain Cleaning That Fixes the Cause, Not Just the Symptom
Your drains carry wastewater away from sinks, tubs, toilets, and appliances and out to the sewer or septic system. Over time they collect hair, grease, soap scum, food waste, and mineral scale, and in older Chapel Hill and Carrboro homes, tree roots can work into aging clay or cast-iron lines through the smallest crack. Newer builds out toward Briar Chapel and Chatham Park clog for different reasons, usually grease, wipes, and settling, so the fix isn’t the same as it is for a 1960s home near the UNC campus. Homes on septic systems around Pittsboro and Hillsborough have their own quirks too, where a drain that backs up can signal the tank needs attention, not just the line. Left alone, a slow drain becomes a full backup, foul odors, and water damage to floors and fixtures.
We always match the tool to the cause: a drain cable or rooter for hair and soft blockages, high-pressure hydro jetting to scour out grease and scale, and a camera inspection when a drain keeps clogging and we need to see why. On every call we protect your floors, find the cause before we start, and leave the space as clean as we found it. You get an upfront price first, so there are no surprises when the work is done.

When to Call a Plumber for a Clogged Drain
A single slow sink is easy to ignore, but drains usually warn you before they fail completely. Call a professional when you notice water draining slowly, gurgling or bubbling from the drain, a foul or sewer-gas smell, water backing up into a sink or tub, standing water around a floor drain, or more than one fixture clogging at once. Multiple drains backing up at the same time often means the clog is in the main line, not the fixture, and that’s worth a camera look before it becomes a backup.
Older homes around Chapel Hill, Carrboro, and Hillsborough are especially prone to recurring clogs, where mature trees and decades-old clay or cast-iron lines give roots and grease an easy place to catch. Catching these signs early usually means a quick cabling instead of an emergency at the worst possible time, and regular drain maintenance heads most of it off before it starts, so ask about adding plumbing to Boer’s Maintenance Club. When you can’t wait, Boer Brothers offers 365-day emergency service.
