Need a plumber in Glenside for a clogged drain?
A Glenside plumber call for a clog starts with the fixture: toilets get a closet auger, tubs and lavs get a small cable once the stopper is out, and kitchen and floor drains get a larger cable. If more than one fixture is backing up, we go to the main instead. We work in homes and in the shops and restaurants around Easton Road and Keswick Avenue.
Glenside straddles Cheltenham and Abington Townships, with Easton Road and Keswick Avenue at its center and Limekiln Pike running through it. From Huntingdon Pike it is a straight run across Abington.
Our Glenside work is a mix of house calls and business calls. At home it is toilets, tub drains and kitchen sinks. On the commercial side it is customer restrooms, prep sinks and kitchen lines that cannot wait until Monday, which is why our phones are answered around the clock. Our commercial plumbing page covers that side in more detail. Either way, we tell you what caused the clog so you know whether it is likely to return.
Clogs at home and behind the counter
A toilet clog and a kitchen line clog need different tools. A closet auger protects the porcelain while it clears the trapway; a sink line needs a cable that can reach through the wall to the stack. Using the wrong one is how bowls get scratched and drain fittings get cracked.
Restaurants and cafes add grease to the mix. When a kitchen line slows despite regular cleaning, the grease trap is usually full or undersized. We clear the line, check the trap and tell you plainly if it needs a larger interceptor.
Plumbing jobs we handle in Glenside
Here is what Glenside homes and businesses call us for.
Drain Cleaning
Tub, lav and kitchen clogs are cleared at the fixture with a cable sized to the line.
Toilet Repair
Toilets that clog often, run between flushes or rock on the floor are fixed with the right parts.
Commercial Plumbing
Customer restrooms, mop sinks and water heaters in Glenside storefronts are serviced around business hours.
Grease Trap Installation
Restaurant kitchens with slow lines get traps cleaned, repaired or replaced with a properly sized unit.
Faucet Repair
Dripping kitchen and bath faucets get a new cartridge, or a full replacement if the body is worn.
Sewer Camera Inspection
Repeat clogs that cabling cannot explain get a camera run to see what is in the line.
A partial obstruction in the trapway, like a small toy or a hardened mass, catches paper on every flush. Weak-flushing older toilets cause it too. We auger the bowl, and if the obstruction will not come free, we pull the toilet and clear it from below.
Yes. We schedule commercial work around your hours, including late nights and early mornings. If a line backs up during service, call at any time and we will talk through what to shut down first.
A small hand snake through a tub or sink drain is fine for most owners. Stop if you hit resistance you cannot pass or if water starts coming up elsewhere, because that means the clog is in a shared line. Forcing it can crack old pipe or a fitting.
Yes. Glenside crosses the township line and we cover both sides. When a job needs a permit, it goes to whichever township the address is in.
