Drain & Sewer cleaning services | Plumbing Services in New York, NY 11691

First, turn off the disposal and the circuit breaker for safety. Never put your hand down the drain. For a simple jam, you can try using an Allen wrench in the hex hole at the bottom of the unit to manually turn the blades and dislodge the obstruction. If that doesn't work, or if you hear a humming noise, the motor may be seized. This is a common issue in New York homes. Our technicians can quickly repair or replace the disposal, ensuring it's properly installed to handle your household's needs and prevent future backups.

Signs of a sewer backup in your New York home include multiple drains gurgling or draining slowly, water backing up in showers or tubs when you flush, and unpleasant sewage odors. These problems are often caused by tree root intrusion, pipe corrosion, or blockages in the city's older sewer lines. Our repair process starts with a video camera inspection to pinpoint the exact issue. Depending on the problem, we may perform a high-pressure hydro-jetting to clear the line, repair a damaged section, or recommend a trenchless pipe lining solution, which minimizes disruption to your property.

Store-bought cleaners often only create a small hole through a clog and can damage your pipes over time, especially in older New York buildings. A persistent slow drain usually indicates a deeper, partial blockage or buildup of grease and debris further down the line. Our approach is to professionally snake the drain to break up the clog or use hydro-jetting to scour the pipe walls completely clean. We can then inspect the line and, if necessary, repair any damaged sections causing the recurring issue, providing a long-term solution rather than a temporary fix.
