What's happening?

Pick the one that sounds like your problem. You'll see what it usually means and which service fits.

Start on the left

Water or sewage coming up right now?

Skip this and call. A real person answers at any hour and will talk you through what to do while help is on the way.

What this usually means

A clog in that one line.

When only one fixture is slow, the blockage is usually close to it: hair, soap, grease or buildup in that drain.

Likely service

What this usually means

The shared line may be the problem.

When several fixtures act up together, the blockage is often further down, in the line they all drain into. A camera inspection shows what's actually in there, so nobody has to guess.

Likely service

What this usually means

Treat it as an emergency.

Backup through a floor drain, tub or toilet usually means the sewer line is blocked. It won't clear on its own, and it gets worse every time water runs.

Right now: stop running water and flushing anywhere in the building, and keep people and pets away from the water.

Likely service

What this usually means

Check one thing first.

If there's a floor drain or sink nobody uses, pour a bucket of water into it. A dried-out trap lets sewer gas through and is a common cause.

If the smell stays, something in the line needs a look: buildup, a crack or a bad connection. A camera inspection finds it.

Likely service

What this usually means

The cause is still in the pipe.

A clog that returns usually means the last fix punched a hole through the buildup instead of removing it, or there's something wrong with the pipe itself, like roots or a damaged section.

A camera shows which one it is. Hydro jetting cleans the pipe wall to wall.

Likely service

What this usually means

Grease is building in the line.

Commercial kitchens send grease down the drain every day. It hardens on the pipe walls, and snaking alone rarely keeps up.

Hydro jetting clears it. A scheduled maintenance plan keeps it from turning into a backup in the middle of service.

Likely service

What this usually means

Get ahead of the next call.

Buildings with shared lines tend to see the same problems repeat. A camera inspection shows what's going on, and scheduled maintenance keeps those lines from becoming tenant emergencies.

The right help for what's not flowing.

Drain cleaning

Clears clogged sinks, tubs, showers and floor drains so water moves again.

For: one slow or stopped drain.

Video pipe inspection

A camera goes into the line and shows what's causing the problem, so the fix is based on what's actually there.

For: repeat clogs, sewer odors, several slow drains at once.

Hydro jetting

High-pressure water scours grease, scale and buildup off the pipe walls instead of just poking a hole through the middle.

For: restaurants, grease lines, clogs that keep coming back.

Sewer line repair

Repairs for damaged or failing sewer lines, with options based on what the inspection finds.

For: backups, broken or collapsed sections, root intrusion.

Preventive maintenance

Scheduled cleaning and inspections for properties that can't afford a surprise backup.

For: restaurants, landlords and property managers.

Do you work with restaurants and property managers?

Yes. That includes emergency service when something backs up and scheduled maintenance plans for properties that need ongoing attention. See commercial service.

What's the difference between snaking and hydro jetting?

A snake breaks through a clog so water can pass. It's often the right fix for a single blocked drain.

Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water to clean the inside of the pipe, removing grease and buildup from the walls. It's better suited to grease lines and clogs that keep coming back.

Do I need a camera inspection?

Not always. It's most useful when a clog keeps returning, several drains are slow at once, there's a sewer odor, or a repair is being considered. It shows what's actually in the line before anyone decides on a fix.

What should I do while I wait?

Stop running water and flushing anywhere in the building. Keep people and pets away from any backed-up water, move valuables off the floor nearby, and clear a path to the basement or the area with the problem.

Five boroughs. One number.
