What we fix
A slow drain is annoying. A fully backed-up main line is a disaster. We clear both, and everything in between, for homes across Wilkes-Barre and the Wyoming Valley. Kitchen sinks, bathroom drains, tubs, floor drains, and main sewer lines: our Master Plumbers have the tools and the experience to get things flowing again.
Most clogs aren't a mystery. Kitchen drains fill with grease and food. Bathroom drains clog with hair and soap. And older NEPA homes with mature trees often have roots working their way into the sewer line. We don't just punch a hole through the clog and leave. We clear the line properly so it stays clear.
If a clog keeps coming back, that's a sign of a bigger problem, and we'll find it instead of selling you the same fix over and over. And when a main line backs up on a weekend, we answer the phone. 24/7, because a backed-up sewer isn't something that waits until Monday.
Straight answers
Frequently asked questions
Why does my drain keep clogging?
A clog that keeps coming back usually means the real problem hasn't been cleared, whether that's built-up grease, a partial blockage further down the line, or roots in the sewer. We find and fix the underlying cause instead of just clearing the surface clog.
Can tree roots really get into my sewer line?
Yes, and it's common in older neighborhoods with mature trees. Roots find tiny cracks or joints in the line and grow toward the water. We can clear them and talk through options to keep them from coming back.
Do you offer emergency drain service?
We do. A backed-up main line or sewer can't wait, so we answer the phone 24/7, 365 days a year for plumbing emergencies throughout the Wyoming Valley.
Are chemical drain cleaners safe to use?
We generally recommend against them. Store-bought chemical cleaners can damage older pipes and often don't fully clear the clog. Professional snaking or cabling is safer for your plumbing and far more effective.
