A slow or clogged drain is a daily annoyance that can turn into a bigger problem.

We don't just punch a hole through the clog; we clear the line properly so it stays clear.
Plumbing Considerations in Manhattan
Manhattan buildings present unique plumbing challenges: older walk-ups with aging galvanized and cast-iron lines, high-rise buildings with pressure-reducing valves and shared water heaters, and tight spaces that make access difficult. We're experienced navigating these conditions to get repairs done efficiently.

Drain Cleaning in Manhattan — FAQs
What's the difference between snaking and hydro jetting?
Snaking uses a rotating cable to break through a clog. Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water to scour the entire inside of the pipe, removing grease, scale, and buildup along the walls. Jetting is more thorough for recurring or stubborn clogs.
Why does the same drain keep clogging?
Recurring clogs often mean there's buildup along the pipe walls, a partial obstruction like roots, or a sag in the line. A camera inspection can identify the underlying cause so it's fixed for good.
