Drain & Sewer built for Delmar homes

The family-run crew that serves Delmar and Slingerlands works out of Nassau, NY (Rensselaer County) and has covered the Capital Region since 2006.

More about Delmar
Two details save a second visit: tell the dispatcher whether more than one fixture is affected, and whether the trouble began after any work in the house. A damaged vent or a drain line disturbed during a renovation can look like a clog, and the technician will want to rule those out before running a cable.

Delmar
Opened the house trap at a Delmar home after a floor drain backed up, cleared roots from the main, and found a low spot in the line over a stretch of about twenty feet on camera; an estimate to dig up and replace the main drain followed.
Delmar
Looked into a repeating upstairs sink clog and a gurgling toilet at a Delmar home: the house trap was clear, but a piece of the cast-iron roof vent had been knocked off by a fallen tree, so a camera look at the vent was suggested after the sink line was cleared.
Delmar
Cleared a main-line backup at a Delmar home by opening the house trap, which held a large mass of paper towels, then jetting the waste line and sending the camera through it; the owner was advised to keep paper towels and wipes out of the toilet.

Questions we hear
FAQs about drain & sewer in Delmar
Straight answers from the team that does the work. Still unsure? Call and a real dispatcher picks up.
That is us. In Delmar the crew clears sinks, tubs, toilets, floor drains and main lines, choosing between a cable, a jetter and a camera after looking at the trap and vent. Call Monday to Friday, 7:30am to 6pm, or book online. Same-day service is offered within business hours when the schedule allows.
A house trap is a U-shaped fitting on the main drain close to the foundation, found in some homes. It catches debris, so it is among the first places we open on a backup. On one Delmar call it held a large wad of paper towels; the line was jetted, the waste pipe was videoed and the owner was advised to keep paper towels out of the toilet.
Either can do it, which is why the technician checks both. A clog makes water back up, while a blocked vent makes drains gulp and slow without a solid stoppage. On one visit a vent had been broken off by a fallen tree and the house trap was clear, so the next step was a camera look at the vent.
Yes. The camera runs through a cleanout or an opened trap and sends a live picture to the technician’s monitor. It shows roots, cracks, bellies and collapsed sections, which is what decides between another cleaning and a repair. See sewer camera inspection for the visit.
Cost varies with the drain, the length of line involved and whether a camera is needed, so the quote follows the diagnosis and is written down before any work. The drain cleaning cost guide explains what raises or lowers it.
A cable or jetter that cannot get through, soil or plant material coming back up the drain, and a sink that backs up again within days all suggest a broken or collapsed section. A camera confirms it. The sewer line warning signs article walks through the rest.
Yes. Wipes sold as flushable, paper towels and rags do not break down the way toilet paper does, and they can lodge at a trap or a bend. The usual fix is to clear the line and keep them out of the toilet, which spares a cast-iron line repeat jetting.
The next step is a camera, to see whether a collapsed section or a bellied run is stopping the tool. If the line has failed, sewer line repair replaces the damaged length, and the trenchless versus excavation article compares the two ways of doing it.
Same-day service is offered within business hours when the schedule allows. Ring first thing for a backup, and remember that Saturday and Sunday the office is closed and nobody is sent overnight. Until the visit, stay off the affected fixtures so the line does not overflow.
Pick someone who looks at the trap and vent before quoting, writes the price down and shows you the camera footage. The customer reviews help you compare us with anyone else you are considering.
