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 Ithaca, 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?

Shared stacks may need more frequent maintenance during renovation seasons.

Can you work around tight schedules?

Yes. Early morning, late night, and between-meeting windows are available. We plan the job to match elevator access and quiet hours.

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?

Safety first, then power.

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?

Happy guests and owners start with clear drains.

City playbook for unstoppable flow

Daily rhythms

Quick discipline today prevents midnight plumbing calls tomorrow.

Business rituals

Restaurants and cafs should log daily strainer checks, weekly enzyme applications, and monthly light jetting.

Eco-smart choices

We help you pick products that work with your plumbing, not against it.

Emergency calm

Preparedness reduces stress and limits damage.

Deep-dive city insights

Dealing with older buildings

Preserve the charm, modernize the flow.

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

Shared drains, shared wins.

Data-backed maintenance

We log every visit, capture footage, and track trends in your building. Patterns reveal when to schedule jetting, where to add cleanouts, and which fixtures need attention.

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

When you dial TotalDrainCleaning, a live city coordinator answers, captures your symptoms, and sets an arrival window that fits your calendar.

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.
