Drain Cleaning in Union County, NJ
Elizabeth multifamily homes, Westfield colonials and Plainfield Victorians all lean on old sewer lines. Our drain techs clear Union County backups any hour of the day.
Drain and Sewer Cleaning in Union County
Quick answer: Older sections of Elizabeth use a combined sewer, so rain and sewage travel together, and big storms can overload the system. Any clog in your own lateral makes backups more likely. We clear the floor drain and main line and run a camera so you can see what is narrowing the pipe.

Serving All of Union County
Union County is small on the map and full of older, close set neighborhoods, and our crew knows them well. In Elizabeth we work in two and three family homes, apartment buildings and the busy shops along Elizabeth Avenue and Broad Street. Union Township, Linden and Roselle have dense blocks of capes and colonials from the 1920s through the 1950s. Plainfield is known for large Victorian homes in its historic districts. Westfield, Cranford, Summit, New Providence and Scotch Plains have tree lined streets of older single family homes. Rahway, Hillside, Kenilworth and Springfield mix residential blocks with warehouses and offices near the Parkway and Route 22. Commercial kitchens and industrial sites call us for grease traps and floor drains. Call us or request service online and get an upfront quote first.
Drain Conditions in Union County
Elizabeth has a combined sewer system in its older sections, where rain and sewage share the same pipes, and heavy storms can push water back toward basement drains. Wastewater in Union County goes to several agencies. The Joint Meeting of Essex and Union Counties serves many towns, the Rahway Valley Sewerage Authority serves others to the west and south, and part of Elizabeth sends flow to the Passaic Valley Sewerage Commission. Much of the housing predates 1950, so clay tile laterals and cast iron are common. Westfield, Cranford and Summit have big old trees whose roots find every joint. Cranford and other towns along the Rahway River have a history of flooding, which leaves silt in floor drains. A camera inspection gets to the real cause fast.
