Why do drains back up so often in Fresh Meadows homes?

Many Fresh Meadows properties are connected to aging combined sewer systems that handle both stormwater and household waste in the same lines. During heavy rain, these systems can become overwhelmed, pushing water back into basement drains. Older cast iron pipes inside pre-war buildings also corrode and collect buildup over time, making drain clogs a frequent problem. Roto-Rooter's experienced plumbing technicians can clean and inspect your drains to keep things flowing properly. Call 718-210-1499 to schedule service.

How can I tell if my older Fresh Meadows home has failing cast iron pipes?
