Bathroom drains
Hair and soap build up in tub, shower and basin drains and slow them down. The plumber pulls the blockage out or breaks it up, and cleans the trap if it is part of the trouble.
Drain Cleaning in New Rochelle
A sink that drains slowly or a tub that holds its water has something stuck in the pipe. We clear drains in New Rochelle homes, from a single fixture up to the main line.
The plumber finds where the stoppage sits, clears it with a cable or a water jetter and runs water to confirm the line is open again.
Drains we clear
Kitchen sinks
Cooled grease turns to a waxy lining inside the pipe under a kitchen sink, and scraps catch on it. The plumber opens the line with a cable or a jetter until the basin empties without a pause.
Laundry and floor drains
A washer that spills over or a basement floor drain that rises is clearing a line that is shared with other fixtures, so the plumber works from the drain outward.
Main line stoppages
When several fixtures slow down together, the blockage is farther along, in the house drain or the building sewer. A camera shows what is in the way.
Where a minor repair ends
In the city’s code, opening pipes or drains and fixing leaks in drains, traps or cocks are minor repairs. Work that disturbs connections to soil, supply, waste or vent pipes is not.
Clearing a blocked drain is the first kind of job, and a plumber will tell you if the problem turns out to be the second.
Caps on the main trap
The city asks owners to keep the sanitary caps at the main trap on and secure, which keeps sewer gas out and is also the law. A loose cap is something a plumber can look at during a drain visit.
Frequently asked questions
Can a loose cap on the house trap cause a sewer smell?
It can. The city tells owners to keep the sanitary caps at the main trap on and secure to keep sewer gas out, so a loose cap is worth checking when a smell shows up.
Pipe damage that a camera turns up is a sewer repair matter, and a dripping trap is fixture repair. See the homepage for the rest of the services.
