What we do

Honest, thorough Basement Plumbing

Your basement is where the whole house drains to, which is why it is where you find out something is wrong. A floor drain that backs up is almost never a floor-drain problem — it is the main line, and it is the lowest opening in the house, so that is where it appears first. We camera the main to find the real cause rather than clearing the symptom and leaving you to call again after the next heavy rain.

We also handle the rest of what lives down there: sump pump replacement and testing, laundry tub and washer connections, condensate lines, and rough-ins for a basement bathroom — which is the one job where drain height matters most, because below-grade fixtures may need a sewage ejector or an up-flush system rather than a gravity drain. We will tell you which your basement needs before you commit to a layout.

Basement Plumbing FAQs

Because the floor drain is the lowest opening on your system, so a restricted or overloaded main line shows there first. The cause is upstream — roots, a bellied section, grease, or municipal surcharge. A camera inspection tells you which, and that determines whether you need a clearing, a repair, or a backflow solution.
Running constantly, cycling on and off rapidly, unusual noise, visible rust, or being more than about seven years old. Testing it takes a few minutes and is worth doing before spring, not during it.
Usually yes, but how depends on whether the drain can run to the main by gravity. If it cannot, you need an ejector pit or an up-flush system. We check the drain height first so your layout is based on what is actually possible.
