Bourque Mechanical is family owned & operated since 1986!Our main gaol is to be honest with the customer..Give us a call for an estimate,for service or for a question and we will be happy to help you out! Award winning.

"Bourque service representatives are always prompt, efficient, careful to clean up and knowledgeable. i just had the most wonderful experience with Bourque Mechanical My Furnace People. and Shane Flint, owner.  On a Sunday, this long term customer  sent an email inquiry about my air conditioning unit not cooling; Shane not only answered my email  on a Sunday but came in person to check on Monday.  Shane checked everything, even told me how to order the filters online and replace them myself. After inspecting the furnace and all the vents indoors, turns out  the AC unit still works - "someone " had opened the outside switch cover pulled out the throttle handle and turned it off. i would love to have taken fingerprints !!!!! Didn't need a new AC unit -- my very lucky day. Plus, Shane  is an authority on the new frontier of mini splits and an experienced installer as I look to the future technology.--"

FAQs for sewer main clearing projects in Schenectady, NY

A plumber can clear a simple sewer pipe blockage in about an hour, but tougher clogs take several hours, and major problems can stretch into a full day. Remember that the city, not the homeowner, is responsible for the main municipal line. Your plumber will inspect the pipe, explain what’s happening, and give you a realistic timeline before the work begins.

Prevention comes down to smart use and routine care. Only flush water, approved liquids, and toilet paper—never wipes, floss, or cat litter. Toss food scraps and grease in the trash, and install strainers in drains to catch hair. Regular inspections can also help spot buildup early. Staying mindful of what goes down the drain is the easiest, least-expensive way to keep your line clear.

When hiring a sewer line company, don’t just focus on the price. Make sure the contractor is licensed, insured, and has good customer reviews. Ask for references to get a better sense of their work. It’s also a plus if they have years of experience or industry awards. Carefully review the contract and check that pricing is clear and transparent.

Sewer line cleaning keeps your entire plumbing system running smoothly. When the main line is clear, drains flow freely, toilets flush better, and unpleasant odors fade. Regular cleanings also ease strain on older pipes, helping prevent leaks and backups. Think of it as a plumbing tuneup that keeps everything connected and working efficiently while extending the life of your system.
