Kitchen sinks
Grease, food scraps and soap build up in a kitchen drain until water leaves slowly or not at all. The stoppage is cleared from the sink out along the drain line.
Drain Cleaning in Jersey City
When the kitchen sink takes a minute to empty, the tub leaves standing water or a drain starts to gurgle, something is narrowing the line. We arrange drain cleaning for kitchens, baths, laundry and main lines.
It helps to know whether one fixture or several are affected, since a single slow sink and a house-wide slowdown start in different places.
Drains we clear
Bathroom sinks, tubs and showers
Hair wound around the stopper and soap film inside the pipe narrow a bathroom drain bit by bit. Cleaning it out lets the tub or basin empty properly again.
Laundry and floor drains
If the washer’s standpipe overflows or the basement floor drain bubbles up, a blockage sits somewhere down its own branch, and clearing that branch gets it draining again.
The main line
Trouble at several fixtures together, or water rising at the lowest drain in the building, suggests the blockage is in the main line itself. Where a two-family house shares a waste stack, the symptoms can appear on more than one floor.
No permit for clearing a clog
A drain cleaning visit stays outside the permit system. The state construction code puts the clearing of stoppages under ordinary maintenance, which requires no permit, inspection or notice to the enforcing agency.
Keeping drains running
A mesh strainer in the kitchen and bathroom drains catches hair and food scraps before they reach the line. Cooking grease should go in the trash, since it hardens as it cools and lines the pipe.
Drains that clog again soon after clearing may point to sewer line repair, and a fixture that still will not drain afterward may need fixture repair. For the full list of our work, start from the home page.
