Homeowner questions
Do the drain pros work on Philadelphia rowhouses?
Yes. Rowhouses, twins and postwar suburban homes make up most of the housing here: clay tile laterals, cast iron stacks, shared party-line runs and basement cleanouts in tight spaces. Say the age of the house when you call; it tells the pro a lot about the pipe before they arrive.
How fast can someone get here?
Calls are answered 24/7, and an active backup is treated as urgent. Arrival time depends on your town and the weather, and heavy-rain nights are the busiest. Calling with the symptom and the age of the house helps get the right pro to you fastest.
Will I be sold work I do not need?
The pages here are written to help you avoid that. Ask for camera evidence before any sewer price, check the jetting-vs-snaking tool for the cheaper option, and remember that a single fixture clog needs only a single fixture fix.
I rent. Can I still get help?
Drain work is usually arranged by the property owner or manager, so talk to your landlord first. The property-manager service page explains how occupied rentals are handled.
