Drain Cleaning Wilson

A plunger is the right first tool to try on most clogs, and it works particularly well on toilet blockages. Chemical drain cleaners can sometimes help with minor clogs, but they can also damage older pipes and don’t address the root cause. If the clog is recurring or affecting multiple fixtures, it’s time to call Prostar.

For most households, annual drain maintenance is a reasonable preventative measure. Homes with older plumbing, heavy usage, or a history of recurring clogs may benefit from more frequent service. Prostar can make a recommendation based on what we find during a visit.

A recurring clog usually means the blockage isn’t being fully cleared or that there’s buildup further down the line that surface clearing doesn’t reach. It can also indicate a more significant issue like a partial pipe collapse or tree root intrusion. A camera inspection is the fastest way to know for certain.

The method matters. Mechanical snaking is safe for virtually all pipe materials. Hydro-jetting is highly effective but requires confirming the pipes are in a condition to handle it. Prostar assesses your plumbing before choosing a method to make sure we’re not creating a new problem while solving the existing one.

Drain cleaning typically addresses the branch pipes that serve individual fixtures throughout your home. A sewer line cleaning addresses the main line that carries all of that wastewater out to the municipal system. Both services are sometimes needed together when problems are widespread.

Cost varies based on which drain is involved and how significant the blockage is. A simple bathroom drain clearing is much less involved than a main sewer line cleaning. Prostar gives you a clear price before any work starts so you know what to expect.
