Drain Cleaning in Herkimer, NY


Clear drains are critical to a well-functioning plumbing system. Grasshopper Heating & Cooling offers professional drain cleaning in Herkimer, NY, ensuring your pipes remain clear and free of inconvenient and damaging clogs. 

Whether dealing with a stubborn kitchen sink clog or a major sewer backup, we have the tools to eliminate the blockage so water can flow freely again. Don’t waste time and money and do more damage to your plumbing with chemical drain cleaners, and call us at (518) 545-3271 for fast, expert assistance that addresses the issue correctly the first time. 

How We Approach Drain Cleaning

When you call Grasshopper Heating & Cooling about drain cleaning in Herkimer, NY, we thoroughly inspect the pipes (using cameras in some cases) to determine the location and extent of the clog. Depending on what our professional plumbers find, we’ll use one of several approaches to drain cleaning to fix the problem:

  • Manual snaking. Using a hand tool, we send an auger down the drain and manually maneuver it to break up whatever’s clogging the pipe so it can continue down to the sewer. 
  • Motorized snaking. A motorized snake works the same way but has more power to break up larger or more stubborn clogs. 
  • Hydro jetting. Plumbers use a powerful stream of pressurized water to clear major obstructions like tree roots blocking the sewer line. Hydrojetting can remove built-up debris from the pipe walls as well as prevent clogs from forming. 

Whatever method we use for drain cleaning in Herkimer, NY, you can be assured that we’ll take the utmost care to eliminate whatever’s causing your plumbing issues without causing additional damage. Call us first when you need help clearing any drain, including sinks, tubs, toilets, vent and sewer drains, and garbage disposals. 

When To Schedule Drain Cleaning   

Although many people only call us for drain cleaning in Herkimer, NY, when they have a backup and need immediate assistance, we also provide preventative drain cleaning as part of our maintenance plumbing services. The best way to deal with a clog is to prevent it from happening in the first place, and your plumbing will often show signs that it needs attention before you discover a clogged drain. 

We strongly recommend scheduling drain cleaning in Herkimer, NY, for:

  • Slower-than-usual drains 
  • Unpleasant odors coming from drains 
  • Gurgling sounds or bubbling water from drains when you flush the toilet or let the water out of the sink 
  • Clogs in more than one drain 
  • Insects or other pests near the drain 
  • Water leaks, especially under the toilet 

Although you can usually clear minor clogs using a plunger, if the problem is ongoing or you need to use the plunger every time you flush, you need help from a professional plumber. 

You should also call a plumber for assistance immediately if your sewer line is clogged and sewage is backing up into your home. Sewage is a significant health risk that requires immediate attention. 

Keep Your Home’s Plumbing in Good Condition 

Many homes in Herkimer have older plumbing systems, making preventative maintenance a priority. We recommend an annual plumbing inspection to check the condition of your pipes and catch any issues early on before they become expensive repairs. If our evaluation reveals that drain cleaning is in order, our experts will use the most advanced equipment and methods to clean the pipes and eliminate inconvenient blockages thoroughly. 

We can also recommend solutions to help prevent plumbing issues like clogged drains, such as:

  • Installing hair catchers to keep debris from going down the shower drain
  • Not allowing grease or oils to go down the kitchen sink
  • Only flushing toilet paper and waste down the toilet, and nothing else 
  • Cleaning your drains with a baking soda and vinegar mixture every few weeks

“He installed our new unit a little over a year ago. He is professional, courteous and very knowledgeable – and willing to answer lots of questions from this engineer. Today he came back to trouble shoot an issue we were having, had it resolved in no time, and waived the diagnostic fee. Highly recommend.”
