Common Drain Problems in Hackensack
Apartment building main clogs
One shared main serving dozens of units can clog with grease, wipes and paper, causing backups in ground floor apartments. We clear the main and test units on several floors before we leave.
Main Sewer Line CleaningRoots in Fairmount clay laterals
Older homes in Fairmount often have clay laterals running under tree lined streets. Roots grow through the joints. We cut them out and camera the line to show where they entered.
Sewer Camera InspectionMain Street restaurant grease
Restaurants downtown send fats and food solids into traps and lines every day. We pump and clean grease traps and jet kitchen lines so a backup does not shut down service.
Grease Trap CleaningBasement drains after river flooding
Low areas near the Hackensack River can take on silt during heavy storms. We clear basement floor drains and the main so water drains out properly again.
Floor Drain CleaningHackensack"s older lines and riverside ground
Hackensack is one of the older cities in Bergen County, and many homes in Fairmount and near the downtown were built before 1940. Those homes often have clay laterals and cast iron stacks. Clay joints let in roots from the large shade trees on residential streets, and old cast iron collects scale that traps grease. Garden apartments and mid rise buildings from the postwar years add another layer, with shared mains carrying many units" worth of waste.
The city sits along the Hackensack River, and low areas near the river and its marshlands have seen flooding during heavy storms, including Hurricane Sandy in 2012. High water can add silt to lines and stress basement drains. Wastewater from Hackensack is treated by the Bergen County Utilities Authority. In most towns, the property owner maintains the lateral from the building to the street connection.
Drain Help in Hackensack, Any Hour
Hackensack properties range from Victorian homes in Fairmount to large apartment buildings along Prospect Avenue, so we tailor every call. In houses, our drain tech checks the basement cleanout first. In apartment buildings, we work with the super or manager to find the shared line and the affected units. Either way, you get the plan and an upfront quote before anything starts.
As the Bergen County seat, Hackensack has steady traffic around the courthouse, the hospital and Main Street, so we plan parking and access before we arrive. We carry compact gear for tight basements and jetting equipment for heavy grease. After clearing, we flush the line and offer a camera pass so you can watch the inside of the pipe with us.
