Common Drain and Plumbing Problems in New London
Clogged Mains in Multifamily Homes
Two family and three family homes on New London's hills share one main line. When it plugs, the lowest unit floods first. We clear the main, run the camera and show the owner what caused it and what condition the pipe is in.
Clogged Drain RepairCamera Inspections on Old Laterals
Laterals under New London's steep, narrow streets can be a century old. A sewer camera shows roots, cracks, offsets or collapsed sections, so you know whether the line needs cleaning, a spot repair or more.
Sewer Camera InspectionDowntown Restaurant Drains
Restaurants on and around Bank Street send grease into kitchen lines that run through old buildings. We clear and jet those lines and can set up a maintenance schedule so a busy night does not end with a backed up sink.
Commercial Drain CleaningStorm Season Sump Pumps
Coastal flooding and high groundwater near the waterfront keep sump pumps working hard. We test the pump and float, clear the pit and check the discharge line, and replace the pump if it is not up to the job.

Old Port City Pipes and Shoreline Water
Many New London buildings are well over a century old. Inside, cast iron drains and stacks carry decades of scale. Outside, clay and cast iron laterals run under steep, narrow streets to the city main, and the property owner is generally responsible for that lateral. In older multifamily houses, several kitchens and bathrooms share one main line, so a single blockage can back up the lowest unit. Downtown buildings with ground floor restaurants add grease to the mix. Cleaning the line clears the immediate problem, and a camera inspection shows whether the pipe has cracks, offsets or roots that need attention.
Low lying areas near the waterfront and Ocean Beach take the brunt of nor'easters and coastal storm surge. Groundwater rises, basements get wet, and sump pumps run nonstop. A clogged floor drain or a pump that fails during a storm turns a damp basement into a flooded one. Salt air is also hard on exposed metal piping and fittings in shoreline homes. In winter, wind off the Sound makes exterior walls cold, and pipes in kitchens and bathrooms on those walls freeze. Insulating them and keeping cabinet doors open on the coldest nights helps.
Drain and Plumbing Help in New London, Any Hour
New London is one of the oldest port cities in Connecticut, sitting where the Thames River meets Long Island Sound. That history comes with old buildings and old pipes. Fullerton Plumbing and Drain Cleaning answers 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and dispatches the nearest available technician with a drain machine, a hydro jetter and a sewer camera. We clear the drain first, run the camera so you can see the line live, and give you an upfront quote before any repair starts. We have been in business 7 years and we are fully insured.
The city is compact and dense. Downtown has brick commercial buildings, restaurants and apartments over shops. The hills above the river hold older single family homes, two families and three families on small lots. Toward Ocean Beach and the shoreline, homes face salt air and storm flooding. The Coast Guard Academy and Connecticut College bring students and staff, and the Groton submarine base across the river keeps rentals busy. We work for homeowners, landlords and businesses alike, drain first and the rest of the plumbing after.

Scaled cast iron and aging clay laterals top the list. Cast iron builds rough deposits that catch grease and paper, and clay joints let in roots and shift over time. The result is slow drains that turn into backups. Cleaning plus a camera inspection tells you whether the pipe is sound.
Yes. Hydro jetting clears grease and buildup from the pipe walls, not just a hole through the clog. We can work before or after service hours, show you the line on camera and set up a regular schedule so the kitchen keeps draining through the busy season.
