Sewer & Drain Cleaning Services in Park Ridge & Across Bergen County NJ
Clogs • Backups • Root Intrusion • Camera Inspections
Slow drain today, full backup tomorrow, that’s usually how it goes. One sink starts gurgling, the tub drains like syrup, and then the toilet joins the party. That’s when you realize it’s not “just a little clog”.
Park Ridge Plumbing, Heating & Air Conditioning handles sewer and drain cleaning for homeowners in Park Ridge and across Bergen County, so you’re not stuck plunging the same drain over and over while the real problem sits deeper in the line.
We’re a licensed, insured, local team. Kitchen sinks, main sewer lines, basement drains, if it carries wastewater out of your house, we deal with it. You tell us what’s happening; we show up with the tools to actually clear it, not just push the problem down the line.
Drain Cleaning Services
Most clogs don’t happen all at once. Grease builds up, hair collects, soap scum sticks to the inside of pipes, and then one day the water just stops going down. Chemical drain cleaners usually just burn a hole through the soft part of the clog and ignore the rest, which is why the problem comes right back.
We clear drains the right way. That can mean snaking the line, using professional-grade equipment, and actually removing the buildup instead of just poking at it. We handle everything from that one annoying bathroom sink to multiple drains backing up at once.
Common drains we clear:
- Kitchen sinks with grease and food buildup.
- Bathroom sinks and tubs full of hair and soap scum.
- Showers that turn into mini swimming pools.
- Toilets that clog repeatedly or won’t flush properly.
- Floor and laundry drains in basements or utility rooms.
If you’re reaching for the plunger more than you’re comfortable admitting, that’s usually the point where it’s easier (and safer) to call us.

Sewer Line Cleaning & Repair Services
When multiple drains in the house start acting up at the same time, it’s often not a simple sink clog, it’s something going on in the main sewer line. That’s where the “slow drains” turn into “sewage backing up where it absolutely should not be”.
We deal with all that less-than-glamorous stuff: tree roots pushing into the line, sagging or broken sections, heavy buildup inside older pipes, and mystery blockages that don’t show up until the basement drain starts overflowing.
For tougher or recurring issues, we can use sewer camera inspections to actually see what’s going on inside the pipe instead of guessing. That helps us figure out whether you just need a good cleaning, spot repair, or something more involved.
We’re not shy about telling you the truth here. If it’s a simple fix, we’ll say that. If the line is failing and you’re headed for repeated backups, we’ll walk you through your options so you’re not dealing with the same mess every few months.
Preventive Drain & Sewer Maintenance
Most people only think about their drains when something’s already wrong. That’s normal. But if you’ve had repeat clogs or sewer backups, it might be worth getting ahead of things instead of waiting for the next surprise.
We can set up periodic cleanings or do a one-time, more thorough clearing of problem lines to reduce the chance of future backups. We might also make small recommendations, like simple changes in what goes down certain drains to help keep things flowing longer. Nothing complicated, just realistic habits that match how people actually live.
Signs You Need Sewer or Drain Help (Soon)
You don’t need sewage on the floor to know something’s off. A lot of sewer and drain issues start with little warnings. Ignoring them usually just makes the eventual fix more urgent and expensive.
You should reach out if you’re noticing:
- More than one drain running slow at the same time.
- Gurgling sounds from toilets or drains when other fixtures are used.
- Water backing up into tubs, showers, or floor drains.
- Recurring clogs in the same drain, even after using a snake or cleaner.
- Bad odors coming from drains or in the basement.
- Wet spots or unexplained patches in the yard over where the sewer line runs.
If you feel like there is something wrong, you’re probably right.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What’s the difference between a simple clog and a sewer line problem?
If it’s just one sink or one fixture giving you trouble, it’s often a localized clog. When multiple drains are slow or backing up, especially lower-level fixtures like basement drains or first-floor tubs, that usually points to a main sewer line issue. Gurgling toilets and backups when you run other fixtures are big red flags too.
Are store-bought drain cleaners okay to use?
They might work for a light, surface-level clog, but they’re hard on your pipes and don’t actually clean the line. They can damage older plumbing, push the clog deeper, and make it harder (and messier) for us to fix later. If you’ve used them a couple times and the problem keeps coming back, it’s definitely time to stop pouring stuff in and call someone.
How do you know what’s causing the sewer issue?
For basic clogs, we can usually tell by how the system behaves and what we pull out. For deeper or recurring problems, we often use a sewer camera to inspect the inside of the line. That lets us see roots, breaks, heavy buildup, or foreign objects instead of guessing, and then we can recommend the right fix based on what’s actually there.
Can you prevent sewer and drain problems from happening again?
Nothing is 100%, but yes, you can reduce the chances a lot. Regular drain and sewer cleaning, watching what goes into your drains (especially grease, wipes, and “flushable” products), and tackling early signs instead of waiting for help. If your home has a history of root intrusion or older pipes, periodic maintenance cleanings can make a big difference.
