Brooklyn Sewer Cleaning

Drains and sewers cleared fast, the cause found on camera, and the fix done right. 24/7 for backups.

Quick answer

Sewer cleaning clears the main line between your building and the city sewer. In Brooklyn we cut roots, jet out grease and scale, service the house trap, and camera-inspect the line afterward so you know whether it needs repair. Sewage backing up into a basement is an emergency we answer 24/7. For lines that keep clogging, our hydro jetting is guaranteed for 45 days.

Brooklyn Sewer Cleaning: FAQ

What causes main sewer backups in Brooklyn?

Tree roots in clay laterals, grease, collapsed sections and clogged house traps are the most common causes in older Brooklyn buildings.

What is a house trap?

A U-shaped fitting on the main line near the front wall of many NYC buildings. It clogs easily and is a frequent source of backups.

Do I need sewer replacement or just cleaning?

A camera inspection after cleaning tells you. If the line is broken or bellied, cleaning only buys time.
