Drainage Service in Yonkers NY - Fast, Reliable Drain Solutions

Pro Boyz Plumber at Work

When your kitchen sink backs up at 9pm on a Tuesday or your basement drain overflows during a storm, you need drainage service in Yonkers NY that actually shows up. We've been fixing drain problems across Getty Square, Nodine Hill, Park Hill and every neighborhood in between for over 15 years. Our trucks are already in your area.
​
Here's the thing about drainage problems in Yonkers - they don't wait for business hours. That clogged drain you ignored last week? It's gonna back up right when you have company over or your doing laundry before work. We get calls every single day from homeowners who tried the store-bought drain cleaner first, and now they've got a bigger mess and wasted $30.

Emergency Drain Service

Drain emergencies don't wait for business hours. When sewage is backing up or your basement is flooding, you need help now. We offer 24/7 emergency drainage service in Yonkers for situations that can't wait.


What counts as an emergency?

  • Sewage backing up into your house

  • Multiple drains backing up at once

  • No drains working at all

  • Flooding from a drain backup

 

We charge more for emergency after-hours service, but when you need it, you need it. We'll get someone to you as fast as possible, clear the immediate problem, and make sure your back in working order.

Drain Cleaning and Unclogging

Your drains move hundreds of gallons of water every single day. Hair, grease, soap scum, food particles - it all builds up slow until one day nothing goes down. We do drain cleaning the right way, not just pushing the clog further down the line where it becomes your problem again next month.


Our drain cleaning service starts with figuring out what's actually blocking your drain. Sometimes its a simple hairball. Other times its tree roots that grew into your sewer line or old cast iron pipes that are corroding from the inside. We use professional equipment that clears the blockage completely and we show you exactly what we found.


Most drain cleaning jobs in Yonkers take 30-60 minutes. We clear the line, test it to make sure water flows right, and clean up any mess. No hidden fees, no upselling you stuff you dont need.

Clogged Drain Repair

Some clogs are more than just blockages - they're signs that your drain line itself is damaged. When we do clogged drain repair, we're fixing the actual pipe problem, not just clearing out whats stuck inside.


Common problems we fix:

  • Cracked or collapsed pipes

  • Pipes that settled and created a belly where waste collects

  • Connections that came apart

  • Pipes crushed by tree roots

​

We see alot of clogged drain repair calls in older Yonkers neighborhoods where the cast iron pipes from the 1940s-60s are finally giving out. The good news is we can usually fix just the damaged section without tearing up your whole yard or basement.

Sewer Line Cleaning and Repair

Your main sewer line is the biggest drain in your house - everything from every sink, toilet, shower and washer goes through it. When it backs up, you've got a serious problem. Sewer line cleaning and repair is what we do more than almost anything else.


Signs you need sewer line service:

  • Multiple drains backing up at once

  • Sewage smell in your yard or basement

  • Gurgling sounds from drains or toilets

  • Sewage backing up into your basement floor drain or lowest fixture

​

We handle sewer line cleaning for roots, grease buildup, collapsed sections - whatever the problem is. If your sewer line needs repair, we'll explain all your options from spot repairs to full replacement. Most sewer work in Yonkers happens same-day or next-day once we know what the problem is.

Main Line Cleaning

Main line cleaning is what you need when the clog is in your main sewer line between your house and the street. This is different from cleaning a sink drain or toilet - we're talking about the 4-6 inch pipe that handles all your waste water.


We use heavy duty equipment for main line work. Our cables can reach 100+ feet and power through roots, grease and whatever else is blocking the flow. For Yonkers homes built before 1980, main line cleaning usually needs to happen every 2-3 years as preventive maintainence because those older lines collect buildup.


After we clear your main line, we'll tell you honestly if its gonna be a recurring problem or if this should last you several years. Some customers need annual cleanings, others go 5+ years with no issues.

Hydro Jetting

Hydro jetting is like power washing for your pipes. We use high-pressure water (up to 4000 PSI) to blast away years of grease, scale and buildup from your drain lines. This is the most thorough drain cleaning you can get.


When do you need hydro jetting instead of regular drain cleaning?

  • Restaurants or homes with heavy grease buildup

  • Recurring clogs that keep coming back

  • Old pipes with decades of buildup

  • Before doing a camera inspection to see the pipe clearly

  • Preventive cleaning for commercial properties

 

Hydro jetting costs more than cable cleaning but it clears your pipes completely. We can remove grease coating, mineral scale, even some tree roots. Your drains will flow like they did when the house was new.

 

We do alot of hydro jetting work for Yonkers restaurants and multi-family buildings where grease buildup is constant. Its also perfect for older homes in Dunwoodie or Homefield where the pipes haven't been cleaned in 20+ years.

Kitchen Drain Cleaning

Kitchen drains take more abuse than any other drain in your house. Grease, food scraps, coffee grounds - even with a garbage disposal, stuff builds up in the pipes. Kitchen drain cleaning is one of our most common calls.


The worst thing people do to their kitchen drains? Pour grease down them. Even if you run hot water after, that grease cools and sticks to your pipes. After months of this, you've got a solid plug of grease blocking everything.


We clear kitchen drains fast, usually in under an hour. We'll also tell you what we found and how to prevent the same clog from happening again. Simple changes like putting grease in a can instead of the sink can save you hundreds in future plumbing bills.

Bathroom Drain Cleaning

Bathroom drains clog from hair, soap scum and toothpaste buildup. If you've got long hair in the house, your shower drain probably needs bathroom drain cleaning every 1-2 years minimum. That slow drain you've been ignoring will eventually turn into standing water that won't go down at all.


We clean all bathroom drains:

  • Shower and tub drains

  • Bathroom sink pop-up drains

  • Floor drains in older Yonkers homes

 

Bathroom drain clogs are usually pretty simple to fix. The clog is typically within 5-10 feet of the drain opening. We can clear it, remove the hair clog, and get you back to normal quickly. We also install drain screens that catch hair before it goes down - costs $10 and saves you $200 later.

Floor Drain Cleaning

Floor drains in your basement or garage don't get used much, but when they back up during heavy rain, you've got a flooded basement. Floor drain cleaning is something most Yonkers homeowners forget about until there's a problem.


Floor drains connect to your sewer line or sometimes to a sump pump system. They can get clogged with dirt, debris, or roots growing in from outside. We see alot of floor drain problems in Park Hill and Ludlow where older homes have floor drains that haven't been serviced in decades.


After we clear your floor drain, we test it with a bucket of water to make sure its flowing right. We'll also check if you need a backwater valve to prevent sewage from backing up through the floor drain during heavy storms.

Storm Drain Cleaning

Storm drains handle rainwater from your gutters and property. When they clog up, you get flooding around your foundation, standing water in your driveway, or water damage to your basement. Storm drain cleaning keeps water flowing away from your house like its supposed to.


In Yonkers, we get calls for storm drain work every spring after leaves and debris from winter clog everything up. We also see problems after big storms when branches and dirt wash into the drains.


We clear storm drains and make sure they're draining to the right place - either to the street, a dry well, or wherever your property drainage is designed to go. Some older Yonkers homes have storm drains connected to the sewer line, which is against code now and can cause backups.

Sewer Pipe Camera Inspection

You can't fix what you can't see. Sewer pipe camera inspection lets us look inside your drain lines with a waterproof camera to see exactly what's going on. This is how we find cracks, roots, blockages and collapsed sections without digging up your yard.


When do you need a camera inspection?

  • Recurring drain problems that keep coming back

  • Before buying a house (see what your getting)

  • After clearing a tough clog (find out why it happened)

  • Planning a bathroom or kitchen addition (check if your sewer line can handle more load)

  • Older home with original drain lines

 

The camera shows us everything - pipe material, condition, diameter, and the exact location of any problems. We record the video so you can see it too. No guessing, no unnecessary digging. We know exactly what needs fixing and where it is.

Root Removal

Tree roots grow into sewer lines looking for water and nutrients. Once there in, they spread and create massive clogs. Root removal is a specialized service that requires the right equipment and experience to do properly.

​

Signs you have roots in your sewer line:

  • Clogs that keep returning every few months

  • Slow drains throughout the house

  • Gurgling sounds from toilets

  • House built before 1980 with clay or cast iron sewer pipes

 

We use root cutting equipment that slices through roots and clears them from your pipe. For serious root problems, we also offer root treatment that prevents regrowth for 1-2 years. Some customers need annual root removal, while others can go longer between services depending on how aggressive the tree roots are.

​

The biggest root problems we see in Yonkers are from willow trees, maple trees and those big old oaks in neighborhoods like Crestwood and Lawrence Park West. Beautiful trees but terrible for your sewer line.

Q&A

Why Drainage Problems Happen in Yonkers Homes?

Yonkers has some of the oldest housing stock in Westchester County. Alot of homes in Getty Square, Nodine Hill and Park Hill were built in the early 1900s with clay pipes or early cast iron. These systems are past their life expectancy, and we replace sections every single week.


The hills in Yonkers also create drainage challenges. Homes on slopes in areas like Homefield deal with water pressure issues and faster pipe corrosion. The freeze-thaw cycles every winter don't help either - pipes expand and contract, joints separate, and small cracks turn into big leaks.


We also see unique drainage issues based on what part of Yonkers your in. Homes near the Hudson deal with high water tables. Properties in northwest Yonkers have more tree root problems. Each neighborhood has its own common issues after doing this work for 15+ years.

How to Prevent Future Drain Problems?

Here's what 15 years of fixing drains in Yonkers has taught us - most clogs are preventable.


Don't put grease down kitchen drains. Ever. Put it in a can and throw it away. Use drain screens in your showers to catch hair. Don't flush anything except toilet paper - no wipes, even the ones that say flushable.


Get your main sewer line cleaned every 2-3 years if you have an older home. Its way cheaper than dealing with sewage backups. If you have trees near your sewer line, consider annual root treatment.


Watch for warning signs - slow drains, gurgling sounds, sewage smells. These are your pipes telling you theres a problem before it becomes an emergency. Call us when you notice these signs, not after sewage backs up into your basement.

What to Expect When You Call?

When your drain is backing up, you want answers fast. Here's how we work:


You call, we ask a few questions about what's happening. Where is the backup? Is it affecting multiple drains? When did it start? This helps us know what equipment to bring and how quickly you need service.


We give you a timeframe for arrival - usually same-day for emergencies, next-day for non-urgent work. Our plumber shows up, assesses the problem, and gives you options with upfront pricing before starting any work.


Most drain cleaning happens the same visit. Repairs might take longer depending on whats needed. We clean up our work area, test everything to make sure its working right, and show you what we did.
