Union mixes older homes on original cast iron and clay laterals with newer construction on PVC — two completely different drain systems that fail in completely different ways. Our technicians identify what's underground before choosing a machine, because the right method for scale-choked iron is the wrong one for a bellied PVC run.
CAUTION: Water backing up in more than one fixture? That's a main line — stop ALL water use immediately, including flushes, and call 973-355-0890. We answer 24/7.

Union Township is quintessential 1940s–50s New Jersey: the capes, colonials and split-levels of Battle Hill, Putnam Ridge, Washington Park and the blocks around Union Center went up fast in the postwar boom, and their plumbing is now deep into its seventh decade. The pattern our cameras find is consistent — original cast iron scaled toward half-diameter, clay laterals whose joints have loosened under three generations of settling, and the township's fully matured shade trees exploiting every gap, making roots and recurring clogs the local signatures. The honest response is cause-removal, not symptom-renting: descaling for the iron, root management timed to regrowth for the clay, and camera footage that shows you which before a price is discussed.
When a Union lateral is genuinely past cleaning, the township's classic quarter-acre lots offer every repair path at sane cost. Spot repairs open one precisely located section of lawn for isolated failures. Lining and pipe bursting rescue the lines under driveways, walkways and the mature landscaping that makes these blocks what they are — no-dig methods that matter enormously when the alternative is losing a fifty-year-old maple to a trench. Full replacement, when the footage says so, is quoted flat with township permits handled. Every path priced side by side, every recommendation justified on video, and financing available when the answer is the big one.
Union's commercial drainage runs two very different corridors. Union Center — Stuyvesant Avenue's restaurants, bakeries and storefronts — is classic main-street work: grease lines maintained off-hours, small-commercial drains kept flowing, documentation for the inspection file. Route 22 is another animal entirely: one of the state's busiest retail strips, whose restaurants, big-box plazas and service businesses run high-volume systems where downtime is measured in lost customers. Our commercial crews service both corridors on schedules built around business hours, with maintenance plans for the operations that would rather plan a jetting than survive an emergency.
When people in Union search for sewer cleaning, they usually mean the main line — the buried main lateral that carries every drain in the house out to the Union County sewer or septic. That is exactly the work we do most.
The tell-tale sign you need sewer cleaning rather than a simple drain snaking is multiple fixtures failing together: sink, tub and toilet all sluggish, or sewage surfacing at the lowest drain in the Union home. Those symptoms point straight at the main line.
Our Union sewer-cleaning trucks carry root-rated cable heads and high-pressure jetters both, because scale-choked cast iron and a root-filled clay lateral need different tools. We flow-test the line before we leave, and on recurring backups we scope the pipe on camera so you know the real condition.
Grease is the other repeat offender on Union sewer lines: it cools, hardens and narrows the pipe until the main backs up. A cable pierces it; hydro jetting actually removes it, which is why jetted lines stay clear far longer.
From a single stubborn main-line clog to a Union sewer lateral that needs regular jetting, we handle it flat-rate, same-day, and guaranteed — call 973-355-0890 and speak to a real technician.

Our nearest Union County crew is dispatched 24/7 and typically reaches Union in 45–75 minutes. Active backups jump the queue — call 973-355-0890 and a technician is rolling within minutes.
Constantly — it's the #1 cause of main line blockages we see in Union County. Mature trees find every joint in older clay laterals. Root cutting restores flow same-day, and a camera shows how compromised the pipe actually is.
Always. We clear every Union drain mechanically — cables and hydro jetting — which actually removes blockages instead of dissolving your pipes' lifespan along with (maybe) some of the clog.
Every Union job gets a flat-rate quote before work begins — the exact number depends on the fixture, access, severity and your location. Describe the clog on one call and you'll have your price in minutes; you only pay when the clog is gone.
That vintage runs scaled cast iron and root-found clay. A camera inspection shows which you have; descaling, root management or lining then removes the cause instead of re-treating the symptom every few months.
Usually — lining rebuilds the pipe from inside, pipe bursting replaces it through two small pits, and spot repairs open only a located section. The camera survey determines which your line qualifies for.
Yes — both corridors, off-hours, with flat rates and documented visits: grease lines and storefront drains in the Center, high-volume retail and restaurant systems along Route 22.
