Who we are

TotalDrainCleaning is a city-first drain team obsessed with reliability. We blend national resources with local street smarts to keep Cortland, NY buildings free of surprise clogs.

Residential drain care

Sinks, tubs, showers, laundry stacks, and main lines cleared with pipe-safe snaking and jetting. We guard tile, stone, and wood, use floor runners, and tidy as we work.

Commercial uptime

Your guests notice great service, not the drain work behind the scenes.

HD cameras trace every bend and branch, revealing scale, roots, construction debris, or collapsed segments.

We start with your symptoms, building rules, and timing constraints. Doorman? Freight elevator? Quiet hours? We adapt.

2) Inspect

Camera visuals reveal the exact clog location, composition, and risk to neighbors.

3) Clean

Thorough cleaning restores full diameter and prevents rebound clogs.

4) Prove

We show before-and-after footage, run flow tests, and confirm odor removal.

City strategy in motion

Construction dust defense

New builds and renovations send fine dust into drains. We pre-flush, filter, and jet lines after construction milestones, preventing cement-like buildup.

Grease and coffee control

A predictable program beats late-night emergencies.

High-rise harmony

Stacked units share drain stacks. We use cameras to map exact branch tie-ins, then clean from cleanouts without disturbing neighbors.

Storm surge readiness

Heavy Cortland, NY rain can overwhelm city systems. We inspect sump discharge, backwater valves, and area drains before storms.

City FAQ

How often should I clean drains in a city unit?

Annual camera checks and cleanings keep most city units safe. Busy kitchens, rentals, or pet-heavy homes benefit from semiannual visits.

Can you work around tight schedules?

Clear expectations, clear drains.

Do you handle odor complaints?

Odors come from dry traps, biofilm, vent issues, or partial clogs. We hydrate traps, clean biofilm with safe agents, and verify vent health with cameras.

Is hydro-jetting safe for my pipes?

We match pressure and nozzle type to pipe age and material, protecting the line while restoring full diameter.

Do you provide documentation for boards?

Absolutely. You receive video links, photos, and clear notes you can forward to boards, supers, and insurance.

Can you help renters and hosts?

Yes. We coordinate with landlords, offer turnkey odor fixes, and schedule service between guest stays.

City playbook for unstoppable flow

Daily rhythms

Quick discipline today prevents midnight plumbing calls tomorrow.

Business rituals

We supply checklists that match your hours and team size so the routine sticks.

Eco-smart choices

Choose enzyme-based maintenance over harsh chemicals. It is safer for pipes, pets, and people in tight city spaces.

Emergency calm

If water backs up, pause water use, avoid chemical drain cleaners, and call us. We guide you through safe steps while a crew drives over.

Deep-dive city insights

Dealing with older buildings

Historic Cortland, NY buildings often combine original cast iron with newer PVC tie-ins. We soften jetting pressure, stage cleaning in passes, and document every fragility.

Managing high occupancy

Dorms, co-living spaces, and hotels push drains hard. We time preventive jetting before peak seasons and add enzyme dosing to slow buildup.

Protecting luxury finishes

Marble, hardwood, and designer fixtures need gentle handling. We use padded mats, low-profile tools, and sealed containment to shield your finishes.

Extended guidance for city peace of mind

Vent health

Clogged vents mimic drain clogs. We camera-check vents, clear nests, and confirm airflow so fixtures drain silently.

Shared responsibility

In multi-unit buildings, one bad habit can affect everyone. We provide simple posters and digital tips boards can share with residents.

Data-backed maintenance

Predictable care saves money and reviews.

Travel-proof drains

Small moves keep odors away and prevent surprises when you unlock the door.

Long-form city assurance

From first call to flowing drains

Before we leave, we sweep, wipe, and restore the room so it feels untouchedexcept the drains now move like new.

The prevention mindset

We believe prevention is a partnership: you handle simple daily habits, we handle the heavy lifting, and together we eliminate surprise plumbing emergencies.
