Quick answer: Yes. Fullerton Plumbing works with landlords, property managers and condo associations across Connecticut on drain cleaning and plumbing, from single triple deckers to large apartment buildings. We clear stacks and mains, fix unit plumbing, coordinate access with tenants, and give you an upfront quote and camera footage. We answer 24/7 for tenant emergencies.
Multifamily buildings put a lot of people on the same pipes. In a three family triple decker or a 40 unit apartment building, the kitchen and bathroom drains from each floor feed shared stacks that run down to one main in the basement. When something goes wrong in that main, it shows up in the lowest unit first, often as water rising in a first floor tub or a basement floor drain. Fullerton Plumbing works with landlords, property managers, condo associations and building owners across Connecticut on drain cleaning and plumbing, from single triple deckers to larger apartment complexes.
We clear kitchen stacks, bathroom stacks, building mains and sewer laterals, and handle the plumbing calls that come with rental property: leaking fixtures, running toilets, water heater problems, burst or frozen pipes and sump pumps. We can meet a tenant at the unit, document what we found with camera footage, and report back to you with a clear explanation and an upfront quote before work starts. We are open 24/7, so a midnight tenant call gets answered.

How it works
Our Property Management and Multifamily Process
Take the Call
Whether the call comes from you or a tenant, we get the address, the unit and the symptoms, then dispatch the nearest available technician. We coordinate access with you or your on site contact and keep you posted as the visit goes.
Find the Shared Line
We figure out whether the clog is in one unit's branch, a shared stack or the building main. That matters for who is affected and for cost. In older buildings we look for basement cleanouts first so we reach the blockage without opening a unit.
Clear and Camera
We clear the line with a cable machine or hydro jetter, then run a sewer camera through stacks and mains. You get the footage and a plain explanation of cause, whether that is grease, wipes, scale, roots or a broken section.
Report and Plan
You get a short report with what we did and what we saw. If a stack or lateral keeps failing, we suggest a preventive jetting schedule or a repair with an upfront quote, so you can budget instead of reacting to the next tenant call.

Why Connecticut Multifamily Buildings Need Drain Care
Connecticut has a large stock of older multifamily housing. Three family triple deckers line the streets in Hartford, New Haven, Waterbury, Bridgeport, New Britain, Meriden and Norwich, many built in the early 1900s for mill and factory workers. Most still have cast iron stacks running through all three floors and clay or cast iron laterals to the street. Cast iron scales up inside, kitchen stacks collect grease from three households, and clay joints let in roots from street trees. Brick apartment blocks and garden style complexes from the postwar decades have their own aging pipe.
In most Connecticut towns the owner is responsible for the lateral from the building to the town main, so a failing lateral is your cost. Older parts of Hartford, New Haven and Bridgeport have combined sewers, so heavy rain can push water back into basement drains, and a backwater valve can help. Cold winters bring frozen pipes in vacant units and unheated basements.
Pricing
What Affects the Cost of Multifamily Plumbing and Drain Work
Cost depends on where the problem sits and how many units it touches. A clog in one unit's sink branch is simpler than a blocked kitchen stack serving three floors or a building main with roots. Access matters: a basement cleanout is easier than opening a wall or pulling a toilet. Hydro jetting, camera inspection, and night or holiday calls also factor in. We look at the problem first and give you an upfront quote before any work starts.

FAQ
Property Management and Multifamily Questions, Answered
Yes. Fullerton Plumbing works with landlords, property managers and condo associations across Connecticut on drain cleaning and plumbing, from single triple deckers to large apartment buildings. We clear stacks and mains, fix unit plumbing, coordinate access with tenants, and give you an upfront quote and camera footage. We answer 24/7 for tenant emergencies.
Water rises in the first floor or basement fixtures because they are the lowest point on the shared stack or building main. When the main is blocked, drain water from the second and third floors has nowhere to go and comes up the lowest opening. Clearing and jetting the main, then a camera inspection, fixes the cause.
Yes. Tell us who to contact for access and we coordinate directly with your tenant or super. We explain the work to you before it starts with an upfront quote, then send you a summary of what we found and fixed, including sewer camera footage when we inspect the line.
Many Connecticut apartment buildings jet kitchen stacks and the building main once or twice a year, more often if grease or wipes cause repeat calls. Older cast iron stacks scale up faster. After a first cleaning and camera inspection, we suggest an interval based on unit count, tenant habits and pipe condition.
In most Connecticut towns the property owner is responsible for the sewer lateral from the building to the town main, so the landlord typically pays for lateral repairs. Damage in the public main itself belongs to the local sewer authority. A camera inspection shows where the problem sits so the right party handles it.
