What's going on with your drain?
Pick what you're seeing. Each page explains the cause, what to do right now and what it costs.
- Sewer backupA sewer backup means the main line between your building and the street is blocked, so wastewater comes up through the lowest drains.
- Main line clogWhen more than one fixture is slow or backing up at the same time, the clog is in the main line that every drain shares, not in any one sink or toilet.
- Floor drain backing upWater coming up through a basement floor drain usually means the main sewer line is blocked.
- Slow or gurgling drainsGurgling means air is being pushed or pulled through water in the trap, usually because a line downstream is partly blocked or the vent isn't letting air in.
- Sewer smellA sewer smell usually comes from a dry trap, a clogged house trap, a partly blocked main or a problem in the vent.
- Tree roots in the sewer lineRoots from street and yard trees grow into joints and cracks in older clay and cast iron sewer lines, then catch paper and grease until the line blocks.
- Recurring clogsIf a drain clogs again weeks after it was cleared, the clog was opened but the cause is still in the pipe: grease, scale, roots or a sag.

Built for NYC buildings
Prewar co-op kitchen stacks, brownstone house traps, Queens basements and Staten Island tree roots each clog differently. We plan around building access, supers and freight elevators on the first call so the technician arrives ready.
We clear, clean and inspect. When the camera shows a broken line, you get the footage and a referral to an NYC master plumber. Why we work this way.
