Basement, garage & commercial floor drain cleaning in New Jersey. Backed-up or smelly floor drains cleared and trap-tested.

The floor drain is the drain everyone forgets — until water is spreading across the basement or the garage smells like a sewer. Floor drains sit at the lowest point of your plumbing, which makes them both the first place trouble shows up and your home's last line of defense against flooding.
Drain Master NJ cleans basement floor drains, garage and driveway drains, laundry-area drains, and commercial floor drain systems across Northern New Jersey.
Water coming UP a floor drain is rarely the floor drain's fault — it's the main sewer line backing up, and the floor drain is simply the lowest opening. That's an emergency main-line call. A floor drain that won't take water DOWN — during laundry, water heater flushing, or a wet basement — is the drain itself: silted, debris-packed, or root-invaded. We diagnose which situation you have first, because they're entirely different jobs.
That sewer-gas odor usually means the trap under the drain has dried out — common in drains that rarely see water. Sometimes the fix is a bucket of water and a teaspoon of mineral oil to slow evaporation. If odor persists with a wet trap, the trap or its vent has failed, and we can scope it and tell you exactly what's going on.
Restaurant kitchens, laundromats, parking garages, warehouses and mechanical rooms all live and die by their floor drains, and health inspectors know it. We provide scheduled floor-drain and trench-drain maintenance for commercial clients across Northern NJ — jetting, degreasing, and documentation for your inspection file.
Everywhere in New Jersey — all 21 counties across North, Central and South Jersey, with local crews in each region. Popular service areas:
Your main sewer line is partially blocked. Washer discharge overwhelms the restricted line and exits at the lowest opening — the floor drain. That's a main line cleaning, and it's urgent.
Sewer gas is unpleasant and, in concentration, unhealthy. Usually it's just a dry trap — pour a gallon of water in. If odor returns quickly, call us to inspect the trap and vent.
Almost always cleaned. Cable cleaning or jetting restores the vast majority of floor drains; replacement only enters the picture with broken piping, which a camera confirms first.
Yes — driveway trench drains, garage drains, stairwell drains and area drains are all routine work, especially ahead of the spring melt season.
