NEW HAVEN PLUMBING SERVICE
Drain cleaning in New Haven, CT
Sinks, tubs, toilets and main lines, cleared by licensed local plumbers across New Haven, West Haven and Hamden.
Updated September 2026 · New Haven, CT
One slow drain is usually a local clog: hair in the tub, grease in the kitchen sink. Several drains backing up at once, especially the lowest ones in the house, usually means the main line is blocked.
Either way, call and we'll clear it.

Signs you need drain cleaning
- Water draining slowly or standing in a sink or tub
- Gurgling sounds from drains or toilets
- Bad smells coming up from drains
- Water backing up into a tub when the toilet flushes
- Several drains slow at the same time
What to do right now
- Stop using the drain that's clogged, and stop running water elsewhere if several are backing up.
- Skip the chemical drain cleaners. They're hard on old pipes and dangerous for the plumber who comes after.
- Try a plunger on a single sink or toilet clog.
- If water comes up through a floor drain, stop using water in the whole house.
- Call us if the plunger doesn't do it.
What it costs
Clearing a single sink, tub, shower or toilet clog usually runs about $100 to $275 in New Haven. Main line clearing typically costs more, around $150 to $500 depending on the line and access.

Questions we hear a lot
Why does my drain keep clogging?
Repeat clogs usually mean something in the line: a buildup of grease, a sag in the pipe, or roots in the sewer lateral. A camera inspection shows what's causing it.
Is a clogged drain an emergency?
One slow sink can wait until morning. Sewage backing up into the house, or your only toilet clogged, is worth an emergency call.
