The price list

These are flat rates for work performed during standard hours. The price is agreed before we start, and it doesn’t move unless the job turns out to be a different job — in which case you see the camera footage first.

Drain & stoppage clearing

The everyday calls — one fixture, one line, cleared and tested before we leave.

Toilet bowl$415
Slop sink line$415
Basin / kitchen sink line$425
Bath tub / shower stall line$435
Window well drain$434
Floor drain$440

Kitchen / bath tub stack line$460
Sewer branch line stoppage$465

Diagnostics & heavy clearing

When a snake isn't the answer — seeing inside the line, or scouring it back to full diameter.

Camera inspection — footage is yours to keep$600
Water jetting — half day$1,050
Water jetting — full day$1,630

Access, pumping & related work

Sometimes the line can't be reached without opening something first, or the water has to come out before anything else can happen.

Pumping water — each additional hour$355
Remove / reset toilet$325
Remove / reset sink or plumbing$296
Drill plug trap$296

No-access service charge — if we can't reach the line$337
Nights, weekends, holidays

After-hours, printed honestly

We answer the phone around the clock, and work outside standard hours costs more — every drain company in this city charges for it, most just don’t say so until the invoice. Ours is added to the flat rate above:

After 4:00 PM, Monday – Friday+$325
Saturday+$330
Sunday & holidays+$350
Additional after-hours labor — may apply on long or complex jobs$370/hr
You’ll be told on the phone which rate applies to your job — including the surcharge — before a truck is dispatched. Nobody finds out at the door.
  • Prices above are flat rates for work performed during standard service hours.

  • Additional charges may apply for no-access situations, specialty equipment, or site conditions that make the work harder.

Questions about the bill

How much does it cost to clear a clogged drain in NYC?
At NY Sewer and Drain, most single-fixture clearings are flat-rated between $415 and $465 during standard hours — a toilet bowl is $415, a kitchen sink line $425, a floor drain $440, a sewer branch line $465. Hydro jetting is $1,050 for a half day and $1,630 for a full day, and a camera inspection is $600. Work outside Monday–Friday 8:00 AM–4:00 PM adds a surcharge of $325 to $350 depending on the day.
Is the price really flat, or does it change once you're here?
The listed price is the price for that job during standard hours. It changes only if the job turns out to be a different job — for example, we arrive for a sink line and the camera shows the main is blocked. In that case we stop, show you the footage, and quote the new work before touching anything. You are never billed for a surprise.
What does it cost at 2 AM or on a Sunday?
The flat rate for the work, plus an after-hours surcharge: $325 after 4:00 PM on weekdays, $330 on Saturdays, and $350 on Sundays and holidays. Long or complex after-hours jobs may also carry an additional labor charge of $370 per hour. We tell you which applies on the phone, before we dispatch.
Why do you publish prices when nobody else does?
Because the alternative is asking you to invite a stranger into a flooding basement without knowing what it costs. Publishing the list means you can compare us honestly, and it means our techs can't invent a number at the door.
What if you can't reach the line?
If access can't be made — a buried cleanout, a sealed trap, a line we physically can't get to — there's a no-access service charge of $337 for the trip and the diagnosis. We'll always tell you what would be needed to get access.

Sewage doesn’t keep
business hours. Neither do we.

Nights, weekends, holidays — the emergency line rings a dispatcher, not a voicemail.
