Homes and businesses. Different jobs, same crew.
For your home
A slow drain is a warning; a backed-up one is an emergency. We find where the line is blocked, clear it with the right machine for that pipe, and run water until it drains the way it should.
- Kitchen and bathroom. Kitchen sinks and disposals cleared of grease and food buildup.
- Laundry and basement. Laundry standpipes and utility sinks.
- Main line. Main line snaked from the cleanout to the street.
For your business
A blocked line in a business costs more than the repair: closed tables, tenants without a working sink, an office that has to send people home. We book around your hours, clear the line, and tell you what will keep it clear.
- Restaurants and kitchens. Grease-laden kitchen lines cleared back to the main.
- Apartments and property managers. Shared stacks and branch lines between units.
- Offices and retail. Restroom lines and break-room sinks.
Full descaling
Old cast iron? Clean it back to the pipe.
Old cast iron drains do not usually clog from one thing. Over decades, scale and rust build up on the inside wall until a 4 inch pipe drains like a 2 inch one, and everything catches on the rough surface. Descaling grinds that layer away so the pipe drains at full width again.
-
Look first
Camera inspection to see how much scale there is and where. An honest answer if the pipe is too far gone to save. A written price before anything starts.
-
Descale
Chain and descaling heads sized to the pipe. Scale, rust and tuberculation ground back to the pipe wall. Branch lines and the main, as needed.
-
Prove it
A second camera pass after descaling. Before and after footage you can keep. Flow tested at every fixture we worked on.

Read the reviewsThis professional team showed up when they promised, did a neat and clean job, and best of all the sewer is flowing again.
My drain was clogged in my bathroom sink and was coming up with black stuff. Dave came out right away and cleared the problem.
They answered every question, explained the pricing for the work done and removed the old parts. You don’t find many companies that are this honest and reliable.

Albany first. About 50 miles out.

Common questions
Quick answers.
How much does drain cleaning cost in Albany?
Manual clearing of a single drain starts at $75, a toilet auger at $299, a branch line at $349 and a main line or sewer at $449. A drain cleaning service call starts at $350. We tell you the service call cost on the phone, and the job price is written down for your approval before any work starts.
How fast can you come out for a clogged drain?
The phone is answered around the clock, and most clogs in Albany and the nearby towns are seen the same day. If sewage is backing up, say so on the call and it goes to the front of the line.
Do you clean drains for homes and businesses?
Both. Residential work covers kitchen, bathroom, tub, shower, laundry and main line drains. Commercial work covers restaurant grease lines, apartment stacks shared between units, and office and retail restrooms.
What is the difference between drain descaling and a regular drain cleaning?
A regular cleaning clears the blockage so water flows again. Descaling goes further on old cast iron drains: it grinds away the scale and rust that have built up on the inside wall over decades, so the pipe drains at its full width and stops catching debris. If drains in an older house keep clogging a few months after each cleaning, descaling is usually the fix.
Which towns do you cover?
Albany and anywhere within about 50 miles of our Averill Park shop, including Troy, Schenectady, Saratoga Springs, Clifton Park, Colonie, East Greenbush, Latham, Guilderland and Niskayuna.
