Drain Cleaning and Plumbing Services in Hartford County
Quick answer: The Metropolitan District maintains the public sewer mains, but the lateral running from your house to the main is generally the property owner's responsibility. If roots, grease or a broken pipe in your lateral cause the backup, you need a drain company. We clear the line and run a camera so you can see whether the problem is on your side.

Drain and Plumbing Problems We See in Hartford County
Roots in West Hartford Laterals
West Hartford's older colonials and Tudors sit under big street trees, and clay laterals from the 1920s to 1950s have joints roots love. Slow drains and gurgling toilets come first. We cut the roots, then show you the camera footage so you can judge the pipe.
Triple Decker Main Line Backups
In Hartford, New Britain and Manchester, three units share one building drain. Grease from three kitchens and wipes from three bathrooms build up fast. We clear the main line from the cleanout, camera it, and give the owner a clear picture of the line.
Storm Water in Basement Drains
Older parts of Hartford have combined sewers. In a heavy storm, water can rise back through basement floor drains and laundry tubs. We clear the lateral, inspect it with a camera, and discuss a backwater valve if your basement keeps taking water.
Old Cast Iron Stacks
Cast iron drain stacks in older Hartford County homes rust from the inside and narrow with scale, and cracks can open along the pipe. You see slow drains on every floor or a sewer smell. We descale and camera the stack and quote any section repair.
Serving All of Hartford County
Hartford County is the center of the state, and we clear drains across its cities and suburbs. We work in Hartford, the capital, where triple deckers, brick apartment buildings and downtown offices share old sewer lines. We serve West Hartford, from West Hartford Center and Blue Back Square to streets of 1920s to 1950s colonials and Tudors. We work in New Britain, Bristol, Southington, Plainville and Berlin, in Manchester with its old Cheney mill neighborhoods, and in East Hartford, Wethersfield, Newington and Rocky Hill. North and west we cover Windsor, Bloomfield, Enfield, Simsbury, Avon, Farmington, Canton and Granby. Homeowners, landlords, offices and restaurants call us for drain cleaning, sewer camera inspections, water heater repair and emergency plumbing. We dispatch the nearest available technician, quote the job upfront, and clean up before we leave.
Plumbing Conditions in Hartford County
Much of Hartford County's sewer service runs through the Metropolitan District, the MDC, which serves Hartford, West Hartford, East Hartford, Bloomfield, Newington, Rocky Hill, Wethersfield and Windsor. Like most Connecticut systems, the lateral from your house to the main is generally the owner's responsibility. Older parts of Hartford have combined sewers, so heavy rain can push water toward low basement drains. Housing ranges from triple deckers and Victorians in Hartford and New Britain to West Hartford colonials with original cast iron and clay lines, to postwar capes and ranches in the suburbs, some with Orangeburg laterals. Mature street trees put roots into clay joints across the county. Along the Connecticut and Farmington rivers, spring thaw raises the water table and keeps sump pumps busy. A camera inspection is the fastest way to know whether a slow drain is a simple clog or a failing pipe.

Yes. Many West Hartford homes built from the 1920s to the 1950s still have original cast iron stacks and clay sewer laterals. We clear root clogs and scale, camera the line from the cleanout to the street, and show you the live view. If a section is cracked or offset, we give you an upfront quote on repair.
Yes. We are open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including holidays. When a shared building drain backs up in a triple decker, every tenant is affected, so we treat it as urgent. Call (518) 776-7838, and we dispatch the nearest available technician, quote the job upfront, and clean up when we finish.
Yes. We clear drains for offices, apartment buildings, restaurants and other businesses across Hartford County. That includes main lines, floor drains, restroom lines and kitchen grease lines. We use drain machines and hydro jetters, camera the line when needed, and can schedule work after hours so your business is not disrupted.
Spring thaw and heavy rain raise the water table along the Connecticut and Farmington river valleys, so groundwater pushes into the sump pit more often. A pump that runs constantly can wear out early. We test, repair and replace sump pumps and clear discharge lines so water leaves the house instead of cycling back.
