Backed up, stopped up, or just slow?

These are the ways Wake Forest homeowners describe it when they ring. Which one it is tells us a lot before anybody gets in the van.

  • The whole house is backed up. Two or more fixtures failing at once points at the main line, not the fixture you happen to be standing at. That is a cable or a jetter job, and we camera it first so the price is based on what is actually in the pipe.
  • It is stopped up and holding water. One sink, one tub, one toilet, and everything else draining fine. That is a local clog, usually within a few feet of the fixture.
  • The sinks are slow draining. Nothing has stopped yet, which is the cheapest moment to deal with it. Slow is a clog that has not finished forming.
  • It gurgles or bubbles when I flush. Air finding its way past a partial blockage, or a venting problem. Worth saying on the phone because it changes what the technician brings.
  • I snaked it and it came back. Very common, and it is information rather than a failure. A snake that clears a line for a day or two usually means roots, grease or a break further down that a cable punches through without removing.

Tell us which of those it is when you call. The difference between one slow sink and a whole house backed up decides whether this is a cable, an auger or the jetter.

Why Wake Forest homeowners call White’s

  • The right tool, not the biggest one. Most clogs are a cable job, and we’ll tell you so. Hydro jetting is for grease and scale that bring a clog back.
  • We own the jetter. No waiting on a subcontractor when a line needs scouring.
  • A local shop. We’re is in Youngsville, not a call center an hour away.
  • Plumbing and electrical in one company. A sewage or sump pump that won’t run is one visit, not two contractors.
  • $50 off any plumbing repair, or 10% off for veterans and active duty military. See specials.

Drain cleaning questions

How much does drain cleaning cost in Wake Forest?

It depends on where the clog is and which tool it takes. A clog near one fixture costs less than a main line backup or a jetting job. Call (919) 435-0736 for an estimate. Ask about $50 off any plumbing repair.

Do you offer 24-hour drain cleaning?

Yes. Our emergency line at (919) 316-0025 runs 24/7 for backups and sewage coming into the house.

Is it one clogged drain or the main line?

If one fixture is slow and the rest drain normally, the clog is in that fixture. If several drains slow down together, or a downstairs tub fills when you run water upstairs, it is the main line. Tell us which when you call.

Why does my drain keep clogging in the same spot?

Usually roots at an open joint, a sagging section or a pipe narrowed by scale. Another cleaning only buys time. The fix is jetting the line or sewer line repair, and badly scaled galvanized pipe may need repiping.

What areas do you serve besides Wake Forest?

Youngsville, Rolesville, Franklinton, Louisburg, Bunn, Zebulon, Wendell, Knightdale and north Raleigh.

My husband snaked it and it drained fine for a day. Why did it come back?

That is one of the most common calls we take, and it is useful information rather than a wasted effort. A cable can punch a hole through roots, grease or a soft blockage and restore flow without removing what caused it, so the line closes up again within days. When a snake keeps buying a day or two, the honest next step is a camera to see what is down there, then jetting to take the walls of the pipe back to clean.

Do you snake it or jet it?

Whichever the blockage calls for. Most household clogs are a cable job and nothing more. Grease, roots and lines that keep closing up want hydro jetting, which scours the pipe wall instead of boring through the middle. We own the jetter rather than subcontracting it, so that choice is made on what the camera shows and not on what is available that day.
