Almost everyone deals with a clogged drain eventually. The kitchen sink that empties slower each week, the shower that leaves you standing in water, the bathroom sink that finally stops draining altogether — these are the everyday plumbing headaches we clear all the time.
The difference is in how we do it. We don't just push the clog down the line and leave. We clear the drain properly and, when it's a repeat problem, help you understand what's actually causing it so it doesn't come right back.
Signs your drain needs cleaning
Drains usually warn you before they quit completely. Call while it's still a nuisance and it's a quick, inexpensive fix.
- Water backs up or drains slowly in a sink, tub, or shower
- A gurgling sound when the drain empties
- A bad smell rising from the drain
- You've been reaching for the plunger over and over
- Fruit flies or drain flies near a sink you rarely use
What causes clogged drains
In the kitchen it's almost always grease, oils, and food scraps that cool and harden on the pipe walls. In the bathroom it's hair and soap scum knitting together into a plug. Over the years these narrow the pipe until a single bad day finishes the job.
In older Westchester homes there's often a third factor: original cast-iron drain pipe with a rough, corroded interior that grabs and holds everything passing through. That's why some homes seem to clog no matter how careful the household is.
What to do before you call
You can try a plunger and a little hot water, but skip the chemical drain cleaner — it rarely clears a real blockage and can damage older pipes. If more than one drain is slow at the same time, stop and call us; that points to the main line, and store-bought fixes won't touch it.
How we clear your drain
We match the tool to the clog. A motorized cable machine handles most routine blockages quickly. For years of grease and scale, high-pressure water jetting scours the pipe back to full diameter. And when a drain keeps clogging for no obvious reason, a camera down the line shows us whether roots or a damaged pipe are behind it.
Being mindful of what goes down the drain, along with the EPA's everyday water-saving habits keeps your lines flowing longer between cleanings.
When to call a pro
If a clog comes back within days, if several fixtures are affected at once, or if you ever see sewage backing up into a tub or floor drain, that's beyond a plunger. Those are signs of a deeper problem, and clearing it correctly the first time saves you money and mess.
Frequently asked questions
How much does drain cleaning cost?
It depends on where the clog is and how stubborn it is, but we always give you upfront pricing after we've looked at the problem — you'll know the number before we start.
Why does my drain keep clogging?
Repeat clogs usually mean buildup along the pipe walls, tree roots in the line, or an aging pipe with a rough interior. A camera inspection tells us which, so we can actually solve it.
Are chemical drain cleaners safe to use first?
We don't recommend them. They often fail to clear the real blockage and can corrode older pipes and harm seals. Mechanical clearing is safer and more effective.
Can you clear a main line clog?
Yes. When several fixtures back up at once it's usually the main line, and we have the cable and jetting equipment to clear it, plus a camera to confirm the cause.
Do you offer same-day drain cleaning?
We offer same-day service whenever our schedule allows, and we treat active backups as a priority.
For a line packed with years of grease and scale, ask us about a deeper hydro jetting cleaning that scours the pipe back to full size.
