A slow drain here and there is easy to ignore. But when multiple drains are backing up, you’re hearing gurgling from pipes you’ve never thought about, or sewage odors are showing up inside your home or yard, something deeper is going on. Prostar Services provides professional sewer cleaning and hydro-jetting services throughout Wilson and the surrounding area. We’ll find out exactly what’s happening and clear it the right way.
Book OnlineBoth services clear sewer line blockages, but they’re not the same thing and they’re not right for every situation. Here’s a simple way to think about it.
Standard sewer cleaning is likely the right call if:
Hydro-jetting is the better option if:
Not sure which applies to your situation? That’s what the camera inspection is for. We look at the line first and let the findings guide what we do next.
Professional sewer cleaning removes the buildup, debris, and blockages that slow down or stop your sewer line from doing its job. Most homes in the Wilson area benefit from a professional sewer cleaning every 18 to 24 months. If you have a lot of trees near your sewer line, a larger household, or a history of backups, more frequent cleaning makes sense. Regular cleanings also give us the chance to spot developing problems before they turn into something more serious.
Camera inspection first. We run a small camera through your sewer line before we touch anything. That shows us exactly where the blockage is, how far down it sits, and what it’s made of — whether that’s grease buildup, tree roots, sediment, or something else entirely.
We pick the right method for the job. What we find on camera determines how we clean. For most blockages, hydro-jetting is the right call. For tougher obstructions like roots, we may use a mechanical auger first. We’ll walk you through what we’re doing and why before we start.
We verify before we leave. Once the line is clear, we run the camera through again to confirm it. You’ll know the job is done right, not just done.

Hydro-jetting is the most thorough way to clean a sewer line. It uses a high-pressure stream of water directed through the pipe to blast through buildup and flush it out completely, including grease, mineral deposits, sediment, and in many cases tree root intrusions. Unlike snaking, which punches a hole through a clog, hydro-jetting cleans the full interior of the pipe. The result is a line that doesn’t just flow again but flows the way it should. It’s also environmentally safe since it uses nothing but water and pressure. Our plumbers control the direction and pressure throughout the process, which means no risk of damage to your pipes.
The most effective thing you can do is schedule a professional sewer cleaning every 18 to 24 months. Regular cleanings keep buildup from accumulating to the point where it causes a problem, and they give us a chance to catch any developing issues before they turn into something bigger. Beyond that, avoid putting grease, oils, or fibrous materials down your drains. Keep an eye on trees and large shrubs near your sewer line, since roots are one of the most common causes of sewer problems in the Wilson area. If you’re not sure where your line runs, we can map it during a camera inspection.
Every 18 to 24 months is a reasonable baseline for most homes. If your household is hard on the plumbing system, you have a lot of trees near your sewer line, or you’ve had recurring backups in the past, annual cleaning may make more sense. We can take a look and give you a recommendation based on what we find.
Snaking uses a mechanical auger to break through or pull out a clog. It works well for simple, localized blockages. Hydro-jetting goes further by cleaning the full interior of the pipe with high-pressure water, removing not just the blockage but the buildup along pipe walls that leads to future clogs. For recurring problems or lines that haven’t been cleaned in a while, hydro-jetting is almost always the better option.
Yes, for pipes in good condition. We always run a camera inspection before hydro-jetting to assess the state of your line. If a pipe is already significantly deteriorated or damaged, we’ll tell you before we proceed and talk through your options. We won’t hydro-jet a line that isn’t a good candidate for it.
It can cut through and flush out a significant amount of root intrusion. For lighter root infiltration, hydro-jetting alone is often sufficient. For more extensive root growth, we may use a mechanical auger first before hydro-jetting cleans the rest. If roots have caused structural damage to the pipe itself, that’s a separate conversation about repair or replacement.
Store-bought cleaners are designed for small clogs close to the fixture, not blockages deeper in the sewer system. They can also be hard on older pipes over time. For anything affecting the main line, professional cleaning is the more effective and safer approach.
Most appointments, including the camera inspection beforehand, wrap up within a few hours. More significant blockages or longer line runs may take additional time. We’ll give you a better estimate once we’ve had a look at your specific situation.
A clogged or slow sewer line isn’t something that tends to resolve on its own. Prostar Services will get a camera in the line, tell you exactly what’s happening, and clear it completely.
