Local Business Description
Drain-Away Sewer & Drain Service was founded in 1991 by Richard Blanchard, whose expertise began in 1974 as a Roto-Rooter technician. After operating franchises in Berkshire County, MA, and Rensselaer County, NY, Richard returned to the Northeast to build his own local business in Schenectady. With decades of hands-on experience, Drain-Away is a trusted, family-operated company dedicated to solving residential and commercial plumbing problems. We prioritize fast response times, clear communication, and lasting solutions, using our deep local knowledge and reliable equipment to serve the community we've been part of for generations.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does Drain-Away handle common Schenectady plumbing issues like old pipe corrosion?
We understand that many Schenectady homes have older plumbing systems prone to leaks and corrosion. Our technicians are experienced in diagnosing these specific local issues. We use methods like video camera inspections to see inside pipes without excavation, then recommend targeted repairs—whether it's a section replacement or a trenchless repair—to fix the problem effectively and prevent future issues.
What does a plumbing inspection from Drain-Away involve?
Our plumbing inspections are thorough and preventative. Using video camera technology, we visually inspect your sewer and drain lines to identify blockages, cracks, root intrusion, or corrosion. This allows us to give you a clear assessment of your system's health and recommend any necessary repairs before they turn into emergencies, saving you time and money.
What types of drain and plumbing repairs do you perform?
We handle a wide range of repairs, from clearing stubborn clogs with professional-grade water jetting to fixing broken sewer lines and repairing leaky pipes. Our approach is to find the most efficient, long-lasting solution, whether it's a simple fix or requires more extensive work like excavation for sewer line replacement. We explain all options clearly before starting any work.
