Take A Look At Our Services

Drain Cleaning
Your drains are likely to experience clogs due to grease, dirt, and other debris. These clogs can cause backups and damage your pipes, but they can also be a breeding ground for bacteria. If you notice water takes more time to drain, don’t hesitate to request our drain cleaning services in Wilmington, NC.

Hydro Jetting
We deep clean your drains using high-pressure water equipment designed for drain cleaning purposes only. We can clean both hard-to-reach and large areas at once without damaging anything else in their path. By hiring our services, you’ll ensure that we will cause no harm to your home or property during the process.

Plumbing Repair
The plumbing system in your home is not to be taken lightly. It can be a big hassle if it needs repairing, but what’s far worse? Ignoring the problem can lead to severe damage to your home and a significant increase in repair costs.

Sewer Camera Inspection
A sewer camera inspection is a non-invasive method that uses cable camera technology and special lighting techniques to image the interior of the pipes. By doing so, we can analyze the condition of the piping without excavating on your property’s lawn.

I am pretty new to the area and have not needed a plumber since moving into my house so I wasn't sure who to reach out to. I called a few different companies before calling Cape Fear Rooter. None of them answered my call or called me back. Cape Fear Rooter answered when I called and was able to get an appointment scheduled really quick. They came over and did a good job fixing the issue in my guest bathroom. They were both kind and courteous. Job well done! read less

My pool installer coordinated with these professionals to clear the clog which they successfully accomplished. They did such a great job I saved their contact information in case I needed them for any future plumbing needs. When I had a bathroom sink drain problem I tried to fix it myself. On my 3rd trip to find the right parts I happened to run into Tammy and David. They remembered me and offered to help. They did another fantastic job and will be my first call the next time I have a plumbing problem. read less

I have already notified our neighbors of their work and highly recommended them for any work they may need. I will never use another plumber as long as David and Tammy are in business. They are without question, our plumbers going forward. We couldn't be more satisfied! Thanks for a super job. ps: Their pricing was very reasonable. read less

I have a home warranty and they sent out another company that told me it was going to cost $1900.00 to fix my pipe blockage. They said there was build-up they couldn't get rid of and needed to replace 12 ft. Of pipe. My warranty did not cover that so I used original cape fear rooter. They came and fixed my problem in no time ..which was a crack in my pipe and roots had grown in it causing the blockage. They cleared the roots and fixed my problem $200.00 later. I highly recommend them! Fast, honest and friendly! read less

First of all......when you have a plumbing problem you're usually very upset. My last experience was soooo BAD! When I called The Original Cape Fear Rooter (they were chosen at random from listing in yellow pages) the lady who answered the phone had this most calming effect. She seemed very knowledgeable and reputable. Consequently, I felt as if I could trust her and the Company she represented! The Plumber was prompt and very courteous. ...fixed my toilet in record time.....also, extremely neat. Actually, my toilet was approx. 3 yrs. old and it had never worked properly....he took care of that problem! It should have been fixed properly when installed. I give The Original Cape Fear Rooter an excellent rating and I will definitely recommend them to my friends!!! read less

The guys showed up when scheduled and originally thought the thermacouple was bad. Not having the part needed, they attempted to find one only to learn it has to come from State Water Heater Company. We called State and talked to a girl in the parts department who correctly diagnosed the problem which was the igniter needed to be reset. With some State water heaters, if the vent at the bottom of the heater is clogged, it starves the heater from getting the air needed to operate and automatically shuts off the pilot light. It goes to show we can learn something new. read less

David immediately scheduled a day to come out and the work was taken care of the following Saturday morning. His knowledge and professionalism was evident as he carefully operated a front loader so as to avoid any underground utilities - and he had to dig down more than 5 feet. He repaired the sewer line and neatly cleaned up the work area before leaving. In short, if you want a professional plumber who is very knowledgeable and provides reasonable pricing, then Cape Fear Rooter is your place to go. I have already contacted David about another issue and he was just as responsive and professional as he was with the first visit. If you need a great plumber and a good person, David and Cape Fear Rooter is your answer! read less

They work super fast, and explain exactly what's going on with your problem. He charged me the exact amount he quoted me even though he did some extra things to help solve our problem. They are honest and hard-working local guys that don't pay a franchise fee, so their rates are reasonable. Their response time is unbeatable! One time I called them and they were at my house within a half hour even though I expected them the next day or in two days time. Very highly recommended! read less

I called 6 places to get quotes (on a tight budget) and was shocked at the estimates and availability (appts scheduled several days out...). I then posted a referral request on our neighborhood's Nextdoor account and was referred to Cape Fear Rooter. They quickly set-up a same day appointment, provided a call in advance of upcoming arrival, and were professional to-a-T upon arrival. They made sure the job got done right, in a timely manner, with excellent sanitation practices to respect my home, and were very affordable (from 35-45% under the other 6 companys' estimates I got....a lot of overhead I guess). They also were very friendly and didn't mind showing me things and answering questions. They also stood by their work with a guarantee. I don't plan on calling around anymore in the future. Cape Fear Rooter's shown they are the whole package on my checklist of what I look for so I now just consider them my family's plumber. Thanks again Cape Fear Rooter! read less

Why Hire Our Drain Service?
We usually don’t think about drain cleaning until there’s a problem. But when you consider that pipes that lead to your septic tank are only a few inches wide, it’s easy to see how waste can build up over time. This can cause severe problems for your plumbing system, including creating backups and clogs. Whenever you need a sink drain cleaner, trust us for the job. We have the tools and expertise to clean and inspect your entire system for trouble spots.
