Our specialized knowledge ensures even tough blockages are cleared not just promptly but properly. Although these tend to be recurring issues without maintenance, the last thing we’d want is to hear that you have an emergency weeks later. As a small business, our goal is to make money just like anyone else but what truly makes us unique in relation to other sewer or drain “specialists” in Bergen County is our methods of troubleshooting. With experience comes knowledge. We don’t understand why some of our competitors do things like ‘recommend replacement of an entire sewer line’ when such a thing in most cases is completely unnecessary. We love helping educating our customer base and working to maintain 100% industry standard protocols.
In terms of most common method of choice for successful sewer clog eliminations, our go-to service would happen to be hydro jetting. While a snake or an auger are highly effective tools for things like toilet clogs, sinks and smaller drains, attempting to use them on your main sewer line wouldn’t be the smartest choice. Time is of the essence and so is efficiency. Those tools can be powerful blunt instruments for exactly what they’re intended to be effective with. Clean-outs in your sewer line most often require far more power.
Hydro jetting, also known as ‘sewer jetting’ or ‘water jetting’, propels a stream of water at speeds capable of reaching up to 5000 PSI. It slices through any accumulations such as tree roots, grease, and sludge with ease. It also happens to pack an eco-friendly punch because we’re not using any type of harmful chemicals which could find their way into the earth. Between the length of main-sewer lines and the type of clogs we have seen, we are always successful obliterating sewer sludge, grime and tree roots with our jetting equipment.
The benefits of jet blasting go beyond merely removing severe clogs. You can think of our solution as a complete 360 degree clean-out and wash of your pipes. The high-velocity jets work in tandem to scrub clean the interior surfaces of pipes eradicating all remnants and buildup unreachable through other methods. Depending on the situation, we could also be talking about years upon years of things like invasive root growth, sediment buildup and slime.
Water jetting acts as a restoration for your sewer line allowing it to function with 100% of the smooth flow it had on day one. With specialized nozzle heads crafted to address different kinds or levels of blockages, Certified Sewer and Drain’s technicians devise their strategy ensuring that each unique issue within your sewage line is efficiently handled. Effective cleaning methods like high PSI jetting can help you save money by avoiding the damage being too far gone thus being responsible for a potentially costly replacement.
When you encounter persistent sluggish drainage or detect foul odors emanating from your pipes, this usually points to a blocked drain on par with sewer line complications. If these symptoms persist despite the use of household remedies like plungers, it’s an unmistakable sign that you need the help of professional drain cleaning services. Stay alert for additional warning signs such as peculiar gurgling sounds and the sudden emergence of pests, which often indicate a hidden clog within your plumbing system.
Disregarding these warnings may escalate into more serious issues like foul-smelling odors in your living spaces or unexpected pools of water around fixtures and appliances. Repeated instances where toilets frequently clog or overflow serve as an urgent call for professional intervention. If you are experiencing any of these issues then you’ve come to the right place. Call us immediately so we can fix the problem and give you perspective on why it occurred.
If you are going crazy trying every ‘Do It Yourself’ method that exists such as usage of chemicals or boiling hot water to flush a toilet and get rid of other drainage issues, this is a tell tale sign that you’ve got a serious clog that requires an experienced expert for repair. More often than not, what exists is a significant obstruction that can’t be cleared through household methods. We have decades of experience clearing just about any type of drain clog that exists.
Addressing drain clogs effectively involves the proper utilization of specialized tools and mastery in deploying them for drain unclogging. Our staff of professional drain blockage eliminators come equipped with an array of equipment, including highly reliable drain snakes and high-powered augers. It’s rare that we need to be more aggressive for smaller blockages but as we mentioned above, you can count on us 100% to arrive prepared with every tool and solution at your disposal.
We may be known for being speedy but we never ever let time compromise your drain problem. We will spend time working hard and monitoring the existing clog until we have 100% flow again to make sure the entire blockage is gone for good. Most drain clogs in smaller settings can be the result of a buildup of things like hair, soap, chemicals, food and other materials. In most cases, being equipped with an industrial snake and auger is more than enough. For serious situations, we can blast away any size clog with our jetting equipment.

Certified Sewer and Drain also has extensive experience working in the food and beverage industry. To be more specific: we’re talking about restaurants, food manufacturing, food production, food storage and kitchens of all sizes. We do service multi-location - franchise based restaurants. Regarding food establishments and especially kitchens, grease can become a very large, troubling and real problem; quickly. The way we mitigate that is by providing routine grease trap cleaning and floor drain cleaning.

We meet plenty of customers or clients that can’t quite comprehend how a sewer-line or drain can become so terribly clogged, it puts a pause on everything. Our team love to provide sewer video camera inspections because it’s truly eye opening. The equipment we use allows us access into any pipe or line. The high definition full color video feed we’re able to generate provides instant clarification as to why a clog or blockage exists.
Our sewer camera inspections include:
The inspections we provide our customers with are capable of exposing common signs of obstructions, damage, and discerning both the position and connections within your sewer network. Although these inspections are unable to detect leaks, they offer crucial verification of other concerns such as fissures, encroachment from tree roots or misalignment in pipes. Pinpoint accuracy in diagnosing these troubles is vital when it comes to developing targeted solutions for existing issues with the lines.
Tree roots can stealthily invade your sewer line and create significant clogs. Most property owners don’t realize that this literally happens all the time! Issues arise because most aren’t willing to be proactive until there’s a problem. Dealing with tree root intrusions in main sewer lines is effortless for us but we do feel for our customers. Most of these jobs end up being emergency calls. Certified Sewer and Drain uses various tactics to tackle this problem, such as applying foaming root killers and carefully utilizing rock salt. These strategies are specifically aimed at the intrusive roots while preserving both the condition of your drain line and the tree’s wellbeing.
While you can attempt to tackle this issue yourself and it is an option, typically we would advise you to defer to a skilled rooting company or rooter clearance expert. It may seem simple but there’s a wealth of knowledge we’ve gained over the decades to proficiently eradicating roots in a main sewer line. In addition, the equipment Certified Sewer and Drain or other experienced professionals use is industrial grade and built solely to blast away pesky but difficult root growth. They don’t make equipment like this available at your local home improvement store just due to the sheer amount of pressure.
Household chemicals sold on the consumer market are only capable of doing so much. Most of the time, they can inhibit new growths but if you were able to see what we see through pipeline inspection equipment, you’d see that those treatments are more of a bandaid. All we’re trying to do is simply the process for you by completely erasing any visible evidence of tree root growth and avoid further damage such as cracks, holes or fissures in your pipelines. It’s this type of damage that will result in something like a replacement line becoming a reality. Mother Nature and her tree roots never stop growing so it’s important that you stay vigilant and proactive on an annual basis. Keeping your pipelines free of these disruptive elements could save you a small fortune in the near future.
To ensure your sewer system remains operational without any major blockage, it’s essential that you hire an expert company to provide a camera based inspection and go from there. If we find evidence of roots pushing through, it’s our job to eliminate them to protect your pipe line. Certified Sewer and Drain offers comprehensive maintenance services solely for the upkeep of sewer lines. Implementing preventative strategies like conducting annual video inspections to see what kind of condition your pipes are in is a great place to start. Jetting and washing away anything found which can cause trouble for you later would be a logical next step. Following this routine will not only protect your sewer lines, you’ll be barricading your wallet too!
On average, you should aim to adopt a schedule to clean your sewer lines every 18 to 22 months for the desired effect. This is a fantastic routine that can truly prolong the life of your piping and protect your plumbing and drainage systems. If you are worried because you have been experiencing recurring complications related to sewer back-ups and drainage issues, allow us to conduct an on-site HD camera inspection. We know what we’re looking for, what we’re looking at and how to convert a ‘recurring’ issue into an arbitrary 18 to 22 month inspection plan. Our video equipment has the potential to reveal deep-seated issues such as improperly running sewage pipes, holes, degrading materials, and much more. You will be present for the entire inspection so we can explain as we travel through the pipe exactly what you’re seeing and why it’s there.
Sometimes, clogged drains prove immune to the effects of chemical cleaners. To combat these stubborn blockages, we’ll typically bring in a snake or auger to unclog your drain. Our expert services, including professional drain unclogging, guarantee complete eradication of usual suspects including hair strands, soap remnants and particularly tenacious blends such as grease, fats and oils from a variety of drain types.
Although it’s widely recognized that certain cleaners—like acidic agents for disintegrating hair or alkaline substances like lye for cutting through grease—are effective against specific kinds of blockages, the skillset offered by the team at Certified Sewer and Drain extends beyond merely selecting an appropriate cleaner. We adopt a comprehensive strategy which addresses every element involved in your plumbing system ensuring not only immediate relief but also long-term functionality free from obstructions.
Expertise is a certainty working with Certified Sewer and Drain.

When it comes to tree roots—a common problem, especially for older houses with less resilient plumbing systems—a certified sewer and drain plumber has both knowledge and equipment necessary to help put a stop to future damage and provide you with guidelines on keeping your main sewer line clean for years to come. Root intrusion is the leading reason people have to fork out bundles of money for comprehensive or sewer line replacement. The most bothersome thing which we try to explain to all of our customers is that it’s entirely preventable with inspections and possible hydro jetting services every 18–22 months.

Our services such as hydro jetting give us a 100% success rate when it comes to clearing any kind of sewer, pipe or drain blockage. Neither size, density, or clogged material is a factor. Jetting is crucial in emergencies. Just imagine the most powerful blasts of water operated and controlled by our team laser-targeted directly through your pipeline. The jet streams of water are so powerful, they’ll work to dislodge debris from even the toughest obstructions ensuring that your pipes are thoroughly cleansed. To guarantee complete removal of clogs, we usually utilize sewer video camera equipment and scoping tools. This is the best way to provide peace of mind on our customer’s end as well as our own that the job was a huge success and the problem is now kaput!
When it comes to sewer line unclogging or drain cleaning in New Jersey, the costs can vary based on several factors, including the complexity and severity of the blockage. Sewer line issues are often more challenging to address because they can involve much tougher obstructions, require a bit more insight into where the damage is coming from and what’s causing it. Most of the time, we’re hired to do rooting work. Tree roots will always grow underground directly into and through sewer lines. When this occurs and the piping hasn’t been inspected for years, customers are shocked at how much can grow and penetrate. Combine this with debris or waste and you’ve got bigger problems at hand. For difficult, serious blockages we’ll always recommend a sewer TV camera inspection so we’re all on the same page in terms of finding out what is causing all of the trouble. So additional fees do apply when inspection and analysis are required for your project.
On the other hand, drain cleaning and unclogging services are generally more straightforward and can be less expensive compared to sewer line issues. Drain clogs often occur in kitchens, bathrooms, and laundry rooms due to the accumulation of grease, hair, soap scum, and other debris. These blockages are typically easier to access and resolve using methods such as drain snaking or chemical drain cleaners. Professional plumbers might also use augers or plumbing snakes to break up and remove the clog. While less complex than sewer line unclogging, drain cleaning still requires professional assessment to ensure that the clog is fully cleared and to prevent future issues. Regular maintenance and timely intervention can help keep costs manageable by addressing minor clogs before they escalate into more serious problems.
Understanding the differences between sewer line unclogging and drain cleaning services helps homeowners in New Jersey make informed decisions when facing plumbing issues. Both services are crucial for maintaining a healthy and functional plumbing system, but they involve different levels of complexity and expertise. By recognizing these distinctions, residents can better anticipate the potential costs and choose the most appropriate and effective solutions for their specific needs.
