Drain & Sewer Service
in Park Slope

Park Slope runs uphill from Fourth Avenue to Prospect Park, and almost everything between is 19th-century brownstone and limestone row house.

What’s under Park Slope

The housing stock decides the problem

Three- and four-story rows built between the 1880s and 1910s, most still on their original house traps and clay laterals, many now split into duplexes with a garden-level apartment at the lowest point of the drainage system.

What we get called for here

The garden apartment is the first to know

In a Slope row house, the garden-level unit sits below the house trap. When that trap blocks — and after a century of grease and roots, it does — the tenant down there gets the backup before anyone upstairs notices a thing. We clear traps in these houses constantly, and the fix is technique, not force: these are brittle, hundred-year-old fittings that a careless machine will crack.

Prospect Park's trees, your clay lateral

The mature street trees that make the Slope beautiful send roots straight toward the nearest water — which is the seam in your clay sewer lateral. Root intrusion here is seasonal and predictable. A camera survey tells you whether annual cutting or a proper repair is the smarter money, and we'll show you the footage rather than just quoting a number.

Asked in Park Slope

Straight answers

Do you work on Park Slope brownstones without damaging the original plumbing?
That's most of what we do here. Pre-war house traps and clay laterals are brittle, so we use the right access point and the right machine, and we camera the line first rather than forcing a cable through it blind. If a trap is already cracked, you'll see it on video before any decision gets made.
My basement in Red Hook / Gowanus floods when it rains hard — can you fix that?
We clear the house drain and site drains so your own plumbing isn't the bottleneck, then tell you honestly whether the rest is the city's combined sewer surcharging — in which case a backwater valve, not another cleaning, is the real fix. You'll see the whole picture on camera.
