We were having a problem with a clogged drain and Evan from southern trust home services came out to our house on a Saturday to work on it. They didn’t even charge us extra for coming on a Saturday. He was extremely nice and professional and had the drain fixed within an hour of coming by for a very reasonable price. Our family would 100% recommend southern trust for all our plumbing needs and Evan was great!

We have used Southern Trust Home three times in the past year and each time we have been very satisfied with their personnel and their work. Alex was the technician we had today for a plumbing issue. He not only solved our issue rapidly but also was very helpful with several recommendations about improving our systems. Each time we use Southern Trust Home we again are grateful we have them taking care of our home.

The only company willing to come and assess our electrical issue during the winter weather even though the issue was unrelated to the weather. Dana was early and efficient. He explained everything he was doing during the diagnostic as well as the issues and fixes. He went the extra mile to call their HVAC guy to troubleshoot our system over the phone since it would not come back on when the power was restored. Got us scheduled for that to be fixed as well. Excellent work! Thanks Southern Trust!

Blake provided a house drain line inspection and subsequent needed pipe jetting to remove pipe buildup that was causing occasional water backups. This young man was excellent to work with and I thoroughly enjoyed spending the afternoon with him. As well as knowing his job, he was very personable and we had some great conversations. A very professional organization to work with

This is my first experience hiring a team from Wisler & I am very happy. The initial technician took great care to cover all my current & possible future needs then focus on my most pressing… a new water heater. I was offered multiple options & was able to choose the one which fit my budget, timeframe of service, & scope of work. The service technicians arrived on time as scheduled & communications were timely as well. The 2 man team preformed their tasks keeping me updated as the project went along. Every person I’ve had contact with during this service has been very friendly & knowledgeable, taking time to explain when I had questions. I can rest easier knowing my new water heater & pipe system is up to date, and code!

A huge thank you to the Wisler team (and especially Blake) for outstanding work. We ended up having a serious issue that needed immediate attention and he and the Wisler team were able to help us get it resolved so quickly. And he was patient, knowledgeable and not at all trying to upsell anything which is really appreciated. Truly excellent customer service!

I can’t recommend this company enough! Andi and Alexander were absolutely amazing. They came out to inspect my mother’s fuse panel and uncovered several serious issues we would never have known about. Most notably, they discovered a second fuse panel hidden in the crawl space—dangerously mounted in front of a gas line and water pipe. It was a major fire hazard waiting to happen. Andi took the time to thoroughly explain the situation and even showed us video footage of the problem. The very next day, both Andi and Alexander returned and spent hours rebuilding a safer, more stable mount and installing a new fuse box. They relocated it away from the gas and water lines and replaced the outdated glass fuses with a modern, safer system. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and dedication to safety were outstanding. They clearly explained the process and pricing before starting the work, ensuring we understood everything. Both were incredibly friendly and went above and beyond to make sure the job was done right. Thanks to them, a major hazard was identified and resolved. I’m truly grateful for their hard work and highly recommend this company—especially Andi and Alexander!

Update: I'm taking a star off because I had to call them after work was done to relay that registration of the surge protector was no longer required per the company, contrary to what I was told. The issue is not that registration is no longer required, the issue is that when I called they evidently have a virtual answering service now, and I had to wade through many questions and still was not able to speak to a real person. For what one pays for service from Ostrom, we shouldn't have to deal with a virtual customer service rep, only to get nowhere. I left a number for someone to call me, and no one has called back. Suggest you hire someone to answer the phone, as it used to be. I hired Ostrom to change a 2-prong outlet and wiring that my washing machine had been plugged into (via a cheap adapter as the washing machine has a 3-prong cord) by the previous owner. Dan was terrific. He determined that the wire gauge was incorrect for a washing machine, so he installed not only a GFI outlet, but also a new wire to the electric panel. He also (with the assistance of his helper, Edie) installed a whole-house surge protector on my panel. Dan is meticulous. He is a perfectionist, in a good way. And such a very pleasant gentleman. Dan is very knowledgeable. When I need electrical work done again, I will be requesting Dan. Ostrom is a bit pricey, but with the caliber employee such as Dan, it is worth the cost. You know you are getting the job done right.

I highly recommend Townside and their technician Chase R for any repairs or installations, we actually had both with a low water pressure issue and an installation of a hot water pump. Chase was very knowledgeable, efficient, and professional. Each time I spoke with someone on the phone, they were very nice (especially Christy, she was wonderful). Townside is the best as far as staying updated on code laws and as well as prices. Check them out and request Chase for your plumber :) He is fantastic!!!!

My well pump went out on Friday night. Wisler was fast to schedule a technician to come troubleshoot my problem. Myca was very good at explaining everything to me. When he came the next day to replace my well pump, he was excellent at keeping me informed of little issues that occured from the the cold and probably previous service techs. He had the pump installed quick, explained everything they had done, and made sure that it was working properly before they left. This is what customer is about. Thank you so much Myca and Wisler. I highly recommend them to anyone and I will definitely use them again in the future.

Josh was extremely professional, thorough and honest. Wasn't a major project but something I rather had a professional conduct, inwhich Josh did amazingly with the end result I was looking for on this particular call. He further looked at some unrelated call issues and made recommendations for the future. I highly recommend Josh as I did inquire how I would be able to get him specifically for any future calls

Ron’s maintenance visit this morning was to install a part for our furnace that had been ordered after a service inspection a few weeks ago. Just as before Ron was very courteous and professional. He installed the part in a timely manner and had our furnace up and operating quickly. I’d highly recommend Ron and Wisler for anyone who needs to maintain and/or repair their HVAC systems or plumbing needs. They’re completely competent, professional and trustworthy.

Within 30 mins of calling Layman’s, Kevin came out in the snow & ice to help us with our lack of water pressure. He quickly determined the issue and went to town working to fix it. I was working at home due to the weather and he was very quiet, courteous, and professional. Everything was clean, no mess, and working perfectly when he left. This was our first time using Layman’s Contracting and we will definitely use them for any future needs!

Evan provided a through quote for the project. The project was to fully replace Quest plumbing throughout the house. Evan was helpful with recommending features I would not have known to ask for. Kevin and Jacob were very professional. They worked clean and each evening left me with access to water in one portion of the house. I am pleased with the job and highly recommend Layman’s Contracting for any home projects.

Exceptional customer service !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So I had recently left a poor review on my service as I felt it was way overpriced. But, the owner took time to call me and explain the price points for certain tasks and even insisted on refunding the job as they strive for customer satisfaction. I'm very impressed by the owner taking time and talking me through it and especially not being defensive on any level. Professional and polite to say the least. I had originally posted that this company is overpriced and will take advantage of people. "Open mouth, insert foot". I'm so impressed with the way Wisler handled this situation that I absolutely will use them for any future home needs. In hindsight, I think it's also beneficial for customers to research the average cost of a job prior to initiating a service request. I highly recommend this company. They care about their service and overall customer satisfaction. Thank you!!!!!

We recently found ourselves in a very unpleasant situation--needing a new sewer line less than a week before an ice storm. Luckily, we found Crafty Fox, who were wonderful. They were communicative, prompt, efficient, fair, and easy to deal with. They are even planning to come back when the weather is better to help make sure our yard is as close to the way it was before they had to dig it up as possible. We will definitely be using them in the future.

We had a job from hell that required our floor be jack hammered up and a sewer line be replaced. It got stretched out due to foundation problems and also inclement weather (yay winter) and had me pulling my hair out of my head. Isaiah and the team at Crafty Fox Plumbing worked with the foundation guys to come up with a path forward and when Crafty Fox completed their portion of the job they left the area set up and better then it was when they started. Communication never broke down during the pauses due to weather and they always got right back to me when I had a question. And when the job was completed it came in right at what they said there were no hidden fees or extra charges. I couldn't be happier and will definitely be using Crafty Fox Plumbing for our upcoming renos. Thanks guys!

Great professional service! Larry and Tyler know what they are doing. They quickly assessed my iron water situation and recommended the best options available. Nikki in the office was great with communication and scheduling and promptly scheduled the service for a time that worked with me. They were very respectful of my property and knocked the job out in less than a day. Full upgrade to my 1994 water heater and treatment system...now I can drink my water again! 10/10 recommend.

I cannot say enough good about Star City, their technicians, their craftsmanship, customer service and their prices. We have used them a half dozen times in the past several months and have been extremely pleased. They are very punctual and show up when they say they are. We have always used Matt, Brock or Isaiah and request them when we have work done. These guys are exceptional and go above and beyond to assure you are satisfied. Anytime I have called, Matt has been quick to respond for leaks, estimates, scheduling ect and is very thorough at explaining what needs to be done and why and in the event something unforeseen crops up he consults with you and resolves the issue. You will be doing yourself a disservice if you do not call these guys when you have plumbing needs. I don’t often take the time to give reviews but these guys deserve a positive review. Thank you Matt, Brock, Isaiah and Star City for another job well done!!

Verify Availability Before You Call

Professional Drain Cleaning in Roanoke

Roanoke residents know that whether you're living in a historic home in Old Southwest or a newer build near Cave Spring, drain issues never happen at a convenient time. Dealing with a sluggish sink or a backed-up sewer line is stressful enough without the frustration of calling five different plumbers just to find one who is actually available in the Star City area. That’s where our service changes the game. We don’t just provide a list of local companies; we actively scan our network of certified Roanoke professionals, filter them by your specific zip code, and call them ourselves to verify they have a technician ready to go. We handle the logistical legwork so you can get your pipes flowing again without the usual headache of searching and waiting for a call back.

Common Drain Issues in Roanoke

Root Intrusion from the Blue Ridge Canopy: Roanoke's beautiful, mature trees are a hallmark of the city, but their roots are notorious for seeking out moisture in older sewer lines. This is a common culprit for slow drains and recurring backups in neighborhoods like Grandin Village and Raleigh Court.

Historic Plumbing Infrastructure: Many of Roanoke's classic homes feature original cast iron or clay pipes. Over the decades, these materials can scale, corrode, or shift, leading to stubborn blockages that require professional-grade equipment rather than a simple hardware store snake.

Hard Water Mineral Buildup: The water profile in the Roanoke Valley can lead to gradual mineral deposits within your plumbing. This 'limescale' buildup narrows the diameter of your drains over time, making them far more prone to catching hair and soap scum.

Kitchen Grease and Disposal Misuse: With a thriving local food scene and a community that loves to cook, 'fatbergs' are a frequent issue. Pouring cooking oils or starchy scraps down the drain can cause a solidify in Roanoke's cooler underground pipes, resulting in a total kitchen shutdown.

Seasonal Drain Maintenance Tips for Roanoke

Spring Thaw Inspection: As the ground thaws and spring rains hit the Roanoke Valley, check your basement drains and sump pumps to ensure they can handle the increased groundwater and prevent unexpected flooding.

Fall Leaf Maintenance: Keep your outdoor area drains and gutters clear of falling leaves. In Roanoke's heavily wooded residential areas, debris can quickly clog exterior drainage systems, leading to water pooling against your foundation.

Winter Pipe Protection: While Roanoke winters are generally moderate, we do see extreme cold snaps. Ensure your outdoor faucets are drained and hoses are disconnected to prevent pressure backups that can damage your interior drainage lines.

Holiday Prep: Before hosting guests for the holidays or the Roanoke Valley Horse Show, consider a preventative drain cleaning. Extra guests put additional strain on your system, and a backup during a celebration is a major local nightmare.

Average Drain Cleaning Costs in Roanoke

$150-$475

The cost of drain cleaning in Roanoke typically depends on the severity of the clog and the equipment required. Simple drain snaking for a single sink is on the lower end, while main sewer line clearing or hydro-jetting services fall on the higher end of the spectrum.

Frequently Asked Questions about Drain Cleaning in Roanoke

Why do my drains in Grandin Village keep backing up?

Older Roanoke neighborhoods like Grandin Village often have cast iron or clay pipes that are susceptible to tree root intrusion and internal scaling. We can find a plumber who specializes in historic Roanoke plumbing to perform a camera inspection and clear those stubborn blocks.

How fast can you find a plumber near the Berglund Center?

Our service filters by your specific Roanoke zip code, so whether you're downtown or near the airport, we call local pros immediately to find a technician who is available to assist you today.

Is 24-hour drain cleaning available in Roanoke?

Yes! We specifically check for 24-hour emergency availability when we call Roanoke plumbers on your behalf, ensuring you get help for middle-of-the-night backups or weekend emergencies.

What is the most common cause of clogged drains in the Roanoke Valley?

The combination of aging infrastructure and the heavy tree canopy leads to frequent root intrusions in sewer lines throughout the city. Mineral buildup from the local water supply is also a contributing factor for many residents.

Do Roanoke plumbers use hydro-jetting for tough clogs?

Yes, many of the certified professionals in our network offer hydro-jetting. This high-pressure water treatment is perfect for clearing out the heavy grease and mineral buildup common in Virginia homes.
