Drain and Plumbing Problems We See in New Haven County
Shared Drains in Triple Deckers
In a New Haven, Waterbury or Meriden triple decker, three kitchens and three bathrooms drain into one stack and one building drain. A clog low in the line backs up the first floor first. We clear the main line and camera it so the landlord sees the cause.
Restaurant Grease Lines
New Haven has a dense restaurant scene, and kitchen grease cools and hardens inside drain lines. We hydro jet grease lines and kitchen drains, clear floor drains, and help food service owners plan regular cleaning so backups do not shut the kitchen down during service.
Storm Backups in Combined Sewer Areas
In older parts of New Haven, heavy rain can overload the combined sewer and push water up through basement floor drains. We clear the lateral, check it with a camera for roots or sags, and explain how a backwater valve can protect the basement.
Wet Basements in the Valleys
Homes along the Naugatuck and Quinnipiac rivers deal with high spring water tables. Sump pumps run hard in March and April, and a failed pump means a flooded basement. We repair and replace sump pumps and clear clogged discharge lines.
Serving All of New Haven County
New Haven County covers the city of New Haven, the Naugatuck Valley and the shoreline east to Madison, and we clear drains in every part of it. We work in New Haven around Yale, Wooster Square and downtown, where dense restaurant kitchens and old apartment buildings keep drain lines busy. We serve Waterbury, the Brass City on the Naugatuck River, and Meriden, the Silver City on the Quinnipiac, both full of triple deckers and older mill era housing. We also work in Hamden, West Haven, East Haven, North Haven, Wallingford and Cheshire, in the valley towns of Naugatuck, Ansonia, Derby and Seymour, and along the shore in Branford, Guilford and Madison. Homeowners, landlords and restaurant owners call us for drain cleaning, sewer camera inspections and plumbing repair. We give an upfront quote before any work starts and clean up after the job.
Plumbing Conditions in New Haven County
Drain conditions in New Haven County follow the age of the housing. Triple deckers in New Haven, Waterbury and Meriden often have cast iron stacks that scale and crack, plus clay laterals that let in roots from street trees. In New Haven, Hamden, East Haven and Woodbridge, the Greater New Haven Water Pollution Control Authority runs the public sewer, but the lateral from your house to the main is generally the owner's responsibility. Older parts of New Haven have combined sewers, so heavy storms can push water back toward low basement drains. The shoreline adds coastal flooding on Long Island Sound, and the Naugatuck and Quinnipiac valleys bring high spring water tables and wet basements. Multi unit buildings share one building drain, so a single clog can back up every apartment at once. We camera the line so landlords know exactly what failed.
New Haven County Drain and Plumbing Questions

Yes. Triple deckers share one building drain, so a main line clog usually backs up the first floor or basement first. We clear the line with a drain machine or jetter from the cleanout, then camera it to find roots, scale or a broken section. Landlords get the footage so they can decide on next steps.
Yes. We hydro jet kitchen grease lines, clear floor drains and handle backups in restaurants around downtown New Haven, Wooster Square and across the county. Connecticut has a statewide fats, oils and grease program for food service, so regular line cleaning helps. We can work around your hours, including late nights after close.
Yes. We clear drains and handle plumbing along the New Haven County shoreline, including Branford, Guilford and Madison. Shoreline homes deal with coastal flooding during storms, older cottages with aging pipes, and in some areas septic systems. We clear the drains and repair sump pumps, but we do not pump septic tanks.
Stop running water in the house first, including the washing machine and dishwasher, so you do not add to the backup. Then call (518) 776-7838. We are open 24 hours a day and dispatch the nearest available technician. We give you an upfront quote, clear the line, and show you the camera view of what caused it.
