Emergency Drain Cleaning in Norristown, PA
Sewage in the basement, a toilet overflowing at midnight, a restaurant drain backing up during dinner. We answer 24 hours a day and dispatch the nearest available technician in Norristown.
Quick answer: Yes. Fullerton Plumbing is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including nights, weekends and holidays. When you call about a drain emergency in Norristown, we dispatch the nearest available technician. You get an upfront quote before any work starts, the same as a daytime call, and we clean up when the drain is clear.
Drain emergencies in Norristown tend to show up at the worst times: a holiday when the house is full, a storm night when the basement floor drain starts pushing water up, or a Friday dinner rush at a Main Street restaurant. When sewage or dirty water is coming up into the home, it cannot wait until Monday. We answer the phone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including nights, weekends and holidays, and dispatch the nearest available technician with a drain machine, a jetter and a camera on the truck. On arrival, the first goal is to stop the backup and get water flowing out of the house again. If the backup is at a business, we work to get your kitchen or restrooms usable again as quickly and cleanly as possible.
In many Norristown rowhomes and twins, the lowest drain is the basement floor drain or laundry tub, so that is where a main line backup shows up first. Before we arrive, stop running water anywhere in the house: no flushing, no washer, no dishwasher. Keep children and pets away from standing water. Once we clear the line, we explain what caused it, whether it was roots, grease, wipes or a pipe problem, and show you on camera when the cause needs it. You get an upfront quote before we start, even at 2 in the morning, and we clean up the work area when the drain is clear. If roots or a damaged section caused the backup, we explain the options so it does not happen again during the next storm.
Local tip: If sewage is backing up into your Norristown basement, stop all water use first, then call (518) 776-7838. Every flush and every faucet adds to the water coming up the floor drain. If the water is near outlets, appliances or the electrical panel, stay out of it until it is safe.
When You Need Emergency Drain Cleaning
- Sewage is coming up through a basement floor drain, tub or toilet.
- Your only toilet is clogged and will not clear with a plunger.
- Every drain in the house is backed up at the same time.
- A kitchen or restaurant drain is overflowing during use.
- Water from a backed up drain is spreading across a finished floor.
How we handle it
- Call and Triage. When you call, we ask a few quick questions: which drains are backed up, whether there is sewage, and where your cleanout is.
- Assess and Quote. On arrival, the technician checks the fixtures, finds the access point and figures out whether it is a branch line or main line clog.
- Clear the Clog. We clear the line with the right machine for the job, a drum machine for a sink or tub line, a sectional cable machine for the main sewer line, or a hydro jetter for grease and heavy buildup.
- Check and Clean Up. If the clog was in the main line or keeps returning, we recommend a camera inspection to find the cause.

Sewage or dirty water coming up from a floor drain, tub or toilet, a toilet that overflows every flush, every drain in the house backing up at once, or a clog that leaves you with no working toilet. For Norristown businesses, any backup that stops a kitchen or restroom from operating is an emergency worth a call right away.
Stop using all water in the building. Do not flush, run the washer or dishwasher. Keep people and pets away from any backed up water, which may contain sewage. Move valuables off the basement floor if it is safe. If you know where the main cleanout is, keep the area around it clear so the technician can get to it quickly.
Yes. We handle commercial emergency drain cleaning for Norristown restaurants, bars and food businesses after hours. We clear the backed up line with a drain machine or jetter, depending on whether the blockage is a plug or heavy grease, and can recommend a maintenance schedule so it does not happen again during service.
