Drain Cleaning in Greenburgh & Hartsdale: what to know

Greenburgh calls are typically aging copper and valves, sump and ejector pumps in finished basements, and main line clogs under mature trees. Hartsdale's co-op buildings need coordinated riser work.

The local housing stock

Unincorporated Greenburgh, including Hartsdale and Edgemont, is mostly postwar colonials, split-levels and ranches with hot water baseboard or forced air, plus the large concentration of co-ops around the Hartsdale train station.

Co-op, condo and apartment buildings

In Greenburgh & Hartsdale's apartment buildings, a leak in one unit is often caused by a riser or fixture in the unit above. We coordinate access between units and with building management, and we schedule riser shutdowns so they disrupt as few residents as possible.

Homes with furnaces and ductwork

Newer homes in Greenburgh & Hartsdale have fewer old-pipe problems but plenty of fixture, valve and drain calls, along with sump pumps, ejector pumps for basement bathrooms, and frozen hose bibs in winter.

Are chemical drain cleaners safe?

We do not recommend them. They can damage older pipes and are a hazard to anyone who then opens the drain. Enzyme cleaners are fine for maintenance.

Why does my main line keep clogging?

In older neighborhoods, tree roots entering clay or cast iron joints are the most common cause, followed by sagging (bellied) pipe and grease. A camera inspection tells you which.
