Drain backing up right now? Stop running water anywhere in the building, including the washer and dishwasher, then call. If several drains are backing up at once, the problem is usually the main line.
What is going on at your Royal Oak property?
Several drains backing up
Toilets, tubs and floor drains backing up together points at the main sewer line, not one fixture.
The same clog keeps coming back
Grease, scale or roots left on the pipe walls. A camera shows which one, and jetting clears it.
Water at the floor drain
Dirty water means the sanitary line. Clean water in heavy rain points at the sump or drain tile.
Sewer smell in the basement
A dry trap, a cracked line or a venting problem. We track down which.
Leak, burst or frozen pipe
Shut off the main valve if you can, then call. We answer any hour.
No hot water
Tank or tankless, we repair or replace the water heater.
