Last week, our team at Philadelphia Plumbing Experts responded to an emergency drain issue at a multifamily property in University City. Residents were experiencing slow-draining tubs, gurgling toilets, and an unpleasant sewer odor throughout the building. Upon inspection, we discovered a main line blockage caused by accumulated grease and foreign materials. Using high-pressure hydro jetting equipment, we cleared the blockage efficiently — restoring normal drainage and preventing potential pipe bursts.
We see similar drain cleaning emergencies across Logan, North Philly, and West Philadelphia, especially in older homes with cast iron piping. These systems are prone to rust buildup and scale over time, making regular maintenance essential. Whether it’s a clogged kitchen sink or a complex sewer backup, our licensed plumbers use camera inspections and advanced tools to diagnose and solve the issue on the spot.
Beyond emergency drain cleaning, we also specialize in pipe repair and full repiping. Leaky or corroded pipes can lead to water damage, mold, and even higher water bills. Our crew is trained to work within Philadelphia’s residential plumbing codes and always obtains the proper permits when needed. Learn more about city plumbing permits here.
