Drain and Sewer Cleaning in Essex County
Quick answer: Older sections of Newark use a combined sewer, so storm water and sewage share the same pipes. During heavy rain those pipes fill fast, and any buildup in your own lateral narrows the path even more. We clear the main line and floor drain, then run a camera so you can see whether roots, grease or a sag are adding to the problem.

Serving All of Essex County
Essex County packs a lot of variety into a small map, and our drain team works every corner of it. In Newark we handle triple deckers, storefronts and apartment buildings in the Ironbound, the North Ward and Forest Hill. East Orange, Irvington and Orange bring dense blocks of older multifamily housing. Up the hill, Montclair, Glen Ridge, Maplewood and South Orange are full of early 1900s homes with original drain lines. West of the Watchung ridge, Livingston, West Orange, Millburn, Caldwell and Verona have larger postwar houses and long sewer laterals. Bloomfield, Nutley and Belleville sit in between with a mix of capes and two family homes. Commercial kitchens, schools and offices along Bloomfield Avenue and Springfield Avenue call us for scheduled service. Day or night, call us or request service online.
Drain Conditions in Essex County
Newark has a combined sewer system in its older sections, where storm water and sewage share the same pipes, so heavy rain can push water back toward basement drains. Wastewater from Newark and most surrounding towns is treated by the Passaic Valley Sewerage Commission, while parts of the western suburbs connect to the Joint Meeting of Essex and Union Counties. Homes built before 1950 in Montclair, Maplewood and the Oranges often still have clay tile laterals and cast iron inside the house, and both collect scale and roots over time. Large sycamores and maples line many streets. In most towns the homeowner owns the lateral from the house to the street connection, so a camera inspection is the smart first step when a backup keeps coming back.

Yes. Many early 1900s houses in these towns still have original cast iron stacks and clay tile laterals. Cast iron builds up scale that narrows the pipe, and clay joints let roots in. We use cable machines and hydro jetting matched to the condition of the pipe, and we show you the camera view before and after.
We do this often. Shared stacks in older multifamily buildings clog from grease and wipes, and one bad line can affect several units. Our crew clears the stack, the building main and individual unit drains, and we can set up a maintenance schedule for owners and managers. You get an upfront quote before work starts.
Most Essex County towns send wastewater to the Passaic Valley Sewerage Commission plant in Newark, and some western towns connect to the Joint Meeting of Essex and Union Counties. Those agencies handle the treatment side. The lateral from your house to the street is usually the owner"s responsibility in most towns, and that is the line we clean.
