Mullens sits along WV-16 in Wyoming County as a small southern West Virginia coal town of about 2,353 residents. Older housing stock from the mid-20th century often features clay or cast-iron lines that collect grease, roots, and sediment, especially after heavy summer storms or when winter freezes set in.
West Virginia Drain Cleaning sends crews from the Charleston shop at 2593 Pennsylvania Ave to handle residential and light commercial drain work in Mullens. The roughly 80-mile run takes crews past Pineville and straight up WV-16, allowing morning departures for same-day response on most calls.
Customers here most often request main-line clearing after slow drains appear in kitchens and baths, plus hydro-jetting to remove years of buildup in the narrow pipes common to these older homes.

Drain Cleaning in Mullens — Local Notes
- •Many homes built between 1940 and 1960 still use clay or cast-iron laterals that crack or root-invade, requiring camera inspection before any snaking.
- •Cold winters along the Guyandotte River valley can freeze shallow lines, turning minor clogs into full blockages by morning.
- •Rural drive times from Charleston mean crews stage equipment the night before for early arrivals on WV-16.
- •No city permit is required for basic residential drain clearing, but larger excavations near the rail corridor need county coordination.
