In these days I appreciate a company that answers the phone and communicates when they're running behind schedule for an appt. George came out, assessed what needed to be done, reasonable price agreed upon, and returned same day with his team to repair two gas fuel line leaks. They put in the extra time to get it done properly, so my gas could be turned back on by PGW. Continued blessings. Thank you

Expert Drain Cleaning in Philadelphia, PA
Drain State Plumbing & Drain Cleaning handles drain cleaning for Philadelphia homes, row houses, and multi-unit properties. We clear kitchen drains packed with grease, bathroom drains blocked by hair and soap scum, floor drains backing up from sediment, and main sewer lines slowed by root intrusion or scale. Philadelphia's housing stock creates specific drain challenges. Many homes built before 1960 still run on cast iron or clay pipes. Those older pipe interiors are rough and corroded, so grease, hair, and mineral deposits cling and build up faster than in modern lines. Philadelphia also sits on a combined sewer system, which raises the risk of basement backups during heavy rain. We use cable augers and hydro jetting to match the method to your pipe material and clog type. A camera inspection is available when a recurring backup points to a deeper structural issue. If your drains are slow, gurgling, or backing up, call Drain State Plumbing & Drain Cleaning to schedule service.

FAQ
Drain Cleaning FAQ
Common questions about drain cleaning in Philadelphia, PA.
Yes, we work in Philadelphia row homes regularly, including those with original cast iron or clay pipes. We select the right tool for your pipe material so the cleaning is effective without causing damage.
It can be, and it is a common problem in Philadelphia homes connected to the city's combined sewer system. A drain cleaning or camera inspection can confirm whether a blockage in your line is making the backup worse.
Snaking punches a hole through the clog, while hydro jetting scours the full interior of the pipe wall. For Philadelphia homes with grease buildup or hard water scale, hydro jetting clears the line more completely.
If multiple fixtures drain slowly or you hear gurgling from your toilet, the blockage is likely deeper than a plunger can reach. Chemical drain cleaners can also corrode the older cast iron pipes common in Philadelphia homes, so professional service is the safer call.
Yes, Drain State Plumbing & Drain Cleaning services multi-unit residential and commercial properties across Philadelphia. We have equipment to handle larger stack lines and main sewer laterals that serve multiple units.
Most Philadelphia homes benefit from a professional drain cleaning once a year, especially those with mature trees near sewer lines or pre-1960 pipe materials. Homes with recurring clogs may need service more frequently.
