Kitchen sinks
Kitchen sinks clog with grease and food debris further down than the strainer reaches. The plumber clears the stoppage and runs water to confirm the sink drains.
Drain Cleaning in Clifton
Slow sinks, backed-up tubs and drains that gurgle all get the same treatment. We find where the line is blocked and clear it, from a single fixture up to the main drain.
Call and describe which drains are slow, and the plumber works out whether it is one fixture or the line behind it.
Which drains we clear
Bath sinks, tubs and showers
A shower that pools around your ankles or a bathroom sink that gurgles has hair and soap caught in the trap or just past it. The plumber clears that out.
Laundry and floor drains
Washer standpipes and basement floor drains back up when lint and debris settle in the line below. The plumber clears the blockage there and confirms the water runs off.
The main drain line
When several fixtures slow down together, the blockage can sit further along the line. The plumber works on the main drain, where the drains of the house meet.
The sewer lateral and the owner
Between the public right-of-way and the building, Clifton’s code leaves the sewer lateral to the owner. If it blocks, the owner either cleans it at once or retains a private contractor, at the owner’s sole cost.
No permit for clearing a clog
Clearing stoppages sits on the New Jersey list of ordinary plumbing maintenance. For that kind of work the state code asks for no permit, no inspection and no notice to the enforcing agency.
Keeping drains running
Strain food scraps out of the kitchen sink, put a hair catcher over the shower drain and keep wipes out of the toilet. Those three habits keep the pipes behind the fixtures clearer.
A lateral that keeps blocking may need the sewer line repair page, and a fixture that drains badly after clearing may need repair. The home page covers the full service list.
