About Main Line Clog Clearing

When every drain is slow, the problem is in the main line.

If several drains are slow or you hear gurgling when you run the washer, the main line may be blocked. Roots, grease, scale and collapsed or bellied sections are common causes.

We clear the line, and when needed we bring in camera inspection from our sister company Prodigy Sewer & Drain to see what is going on.
