Your Somers Point Drain Cleaners — Since 1993

Somers Point sits right on the bay at the foot of the bridges — and we cover the whole city, from the Parkway to the bay. Part mainland, part waterfront, and all of it hard on drains: older homes on aged cast iron and clay, tree roots working into the lines, a high water table down by the water, and the busy Bay Avenue bar-and-restaurant scene putting commercial kitchens to the test. We’ve been clearing Somers Point drains since 1993, and we know what’s under this town before we open anything up. Need it handled today? We offer same-day service — call us and we’ll get you on the schedule.

Whether it’s a single slow sink, a line full of roots, or a main backing up out to the street, we find it and clear it. If something’s going on down the line, we camera it, show you what we’re looking at, and lay out your options — repair or replace, your call. Straight answers, honest price.

What We Clear in Somers Point

If it drains, we clear it — main sewer lines from the house out to the street, whole-house backups, toilets, sinks, tubs and showers, washing machine drains, slop sinks, and floor drains, plus roof and storm drains.

We handle any blockage down the line — grease, sludge, roots, you name it — with the right tool for the job: cable and snake drain cleaning, hydro jetting, sewer video inspection and location service, and full root removal.

  • Hydro Jetting — The Fix That Lasts

    A cable machine punches a hole through the clog, but the grease, sludge, and roots are still coating the pipe wall — so it comes right back. Jetting scours the whole line: high-pressure water blasts the pipe back to bare wall, roots and buildup and all. On Somers Point’s older lines — and the grease-heavy restaurant kitchens down on the bay — it’s usually what finally makes the clog quit for good. Residential and light commercial.

  • Cast-Iron Descaling — Next-Level Clearing

    Old cast iron gives you trouble as it ages — the inside wall rusts and scales over, turning rough and jagged. A smooth pipe lets waste slide right through, but that rough, corroded surface snags grease, paper, and debris, so it catches and builds until the line clogs. We run chain knockers, a specialty descaling machine that knocks the hardened rust and scale off the wall and brings it back to smooth, bare metal, then hydro jet it to flush it all out. That’s the difference between clearing a cast-iron line and restoring it — and on Somers Point’s old cast iron in the historic section, it brings a dead line back to full flow.

Roots: Somers Point’s #1 Clog

Old pipe and mature trees are a bad combination. Roots find the smallest crack or loose joint in a cast-iron or clay line, work their way in, and grow into a root ball that fills the pipe and catches everything coming down the drain. It’s the number-one reason Somers Point lines back up. We cut them out, jet the line clean, and — where roots keep coming back — video it to find the way in and tell you how to stop it for good.

We Know Somers Point, Section by Section

We cover the whole city, from the Parkway to the bay, and the trouble shifts from one part of town to the next:

  • Bay Avenue & the Waterfront — The heart of Somers Point’s bar-and-restaurant scene down by the bay. Busy commercial kitchens are brutal on a drain line — grease and heavy volume pack a line fast, and a backed-up kitchen means a closed kitchen. We handle the restaurants down here, and we know the clock’s running.
  • Historic Somers Point — The old town section, with some of the oldest homes and oldest pipe in the area — aged cast iron and clay that’s been in the ground for generations.
  • The Golf Course Area — Over by Greate Bay and the golf course you’ve got a mix — bigger-lot homes with long sewer runs, plus large condominium complexes. The homes give roots more pipe to invade; the complexes bring shared lines and slab construction. Either way, we video the run to find the trouble fast.
  • The Bike Path Area — Established residential along the Shore Road corridor, older homes on aging lines, plenty of mature trees, and roots working into the joints.
  • The Route 9 / New Road Area — The main corridor through town, a mix of older homes and light commercial, all on aging lines that take a lot of use.
  • Condo Complexes & Slab Construction — A lot of Somers Point’s condos and multi-unit complexes are built on concrete slab, with the drain lines cast right into the slab and no crawl space to get under them. On top of that, units often share stacks and lines, so one clog can back up more than one place. When the sandy ground settles, those slab lines sag and belly, water sits, and it clogs — and you can’t just drop underneath to find it. We run a sewer video and locate the exact spot and depth under the slab, so we know right where the trouble is before anybody opens a floor. And it’s not just the old cast iron — if the home’s newer, it’s on ABS or PVC, and that plastic isn’t bulletproof either: over time the glued joints crack and the line can sag, fault, and collapse, especially on slab where the ground settles under a pipe nobody can reach. We work with homeowners, associations, and property managers to get it handled fast.

We Work With Somers Point’s Water & Sewer Department

Thirty-plus years down here means we know the people, not just the pipes. We’ve got a good working relationship with Somers Point’s water and sewer department and public works crew — so when a backup runs from your line out to the city’s, we know who to call and how to get it handled. We talk their language. No guesswork, no finger-pointing, no runaround. We work together to get your drains flowing again.

Got an Old Curb or Yard Trap?

Some older Somers Point homes still have an old trap out at the curb or in the yard — a U-shaped fitting from back when plumbing was done different. Down here they’re always outside. That trap is a magnet for clogs and often has no reason to still be there. When we run into one and it makes sense to pull it, we remove it so your line quits backing up at the same spot every time.

Why Somers Point Drains Clog

It comes down to age, roots, and ground. A lot of these lines are old cast iron and clay that roots love to invade. The high water table down by the bay seeps into any cracked joint, and the sandy soil shifts and settles, pulling lines out of pitch so water sits and sludge builds — and under the slab condos, that same settling sags the line where you can’t get to it. Add the restaurant grease load on the waterfront and decades of use, and these drains take a beating. We’re not guessing — over 30 years on these lines means we know how the pipe failed and how to fix it.

Sometimes a Clog Is a Broken Pipe

Now and then the video shows the real trouble isn’t a clog at all — it’s a root-split, cracked, or collapsed line, common on old cast iron and clay with roots in it. When that’s the case, we can often fix it from the inside with no-dig trenchless lining, no trench through your yard. That’s a job of its own, and we’ve got a whole page on it.
