About Drain Team Albany
Drain Team Albany is a local drain and sewer cleaning specialist serving Albany and the greater Capital District. We focus on one thing and do it well: keeping water moving — for homes and businesses alike.
No guesswork and no shortcuts. We diagnose the real cause of a clog, clear it the right way, and tell you honestly how to keep it from coming back. That's how we've earned our customers' trust.
Meet the founder
Dave Dingley started Drain Team Albany in 2020, but his time in the trades goes back much further. His early work was electrical — wiring boiler controls — and by 2002 he had moved fully into plumbing, where clearing drains and sewers became the work he was best at.
Years of running a plumbing company as its General Manager showed him what separates a fix that holds from one that fails in a month. That lesson is the whole Drain Team approach: track down what's actually causing the backup, clear it properly, and tell you straight how to keep it clear.
"I firmly believe the plumber protects the health of the nation."
The crew is four people today — kept small on purpose so that standard never slips on a job. Off the clock, Dave fly-fishes, paints in oils, and has four published books to his name; the same attention to craft, in a different medium.
