About us

Meet the Business Owner: In 1973 I helped out a friend to operate a Roto-Rooter in the greater Albany area. As the year progressed, I learned how much I enjoyed the challenge of diagnosing and solving customer's problems. I became a service technician for Roto-Rooter in 1974, then opened a Roto-Rooter franchise in Berkshire County, MA in 1979. In 1982 I then moved to Rensselaer County, NY to operate a 2nd franchise in the Troy and surrounding areas. In 1989 I took over the Roto-Rooter operation in Nashville, TN. But I realized how much I missed the Northeast, so I decided to move back in 1991 to NY and Drain-Away Sewer & Drain Service was opened. History: Established in 1991. With experience dating back to 1974, Richard J. Blanchard opened Drain-Away Sewer & Drain Service in 1991. Through dedication and hard work, the business has grown to service both residential & commercial customers. Drain-Away's highest priority is fast and quality service thanks to our expert technicians and courteous office staff. SPECIALTIES: We specialize in sewer and drain cleaning for both residential and commercial customers, as well as plumbing repairs, video inspecting, water jetting, excavating, internal commercial grease tanks and sewer line repairs. Contact us to discuss your plumbing and drain needs. Albany NY area; 438-9646 Troy NY area; 274-0065 Schenectady NY area; 355-9755 Amsterdam NY area; 843-0515

OUTSTANDING.....
Description of Work: My garbage disposal sounded like a 10 wheeler truck and not one bit of water contained in both kitchen sinks would drain out, I had to pail it out and dump it into my guest bathroom practically 2 hours at length. I made a mess, I called my regular plumber, M&B Plumbing who recommended Rich of Drain Away.....may I also add this happened on Saturday night beginning of the Columbus Day weekend. I called Rich of Drain Away and he was at my door Sunday 2pm. TOTALLY UNHEARD OF IN TODAY'S BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT. He and his assistant checked every pipe line first in the basement and within literally 2-5 mins. he detected that I had a plumbing blockage. He snaked it, reseated the gaskets on the pipes and I was fixed and ready to go. His pricing was well below your big box plumbing companies and put frankly, it was a Holiday weekend, emergency situation and a Sunday,...he could've taken big time advantage of me. No, all he was concerned about was I needed help and he was more than happy to help. Where did this angel with a plunger come from. Well, no hesitation on my part to recommend him and most definitely I'll be a longtime client.
