No. Backwell is a commercial site-work contractor, not a plumbing drain cleaner. We do not snake sewers or clear sink backups. If the problem needs excavation, grading, catch basins, asphalt, or concrete restoration, that is our lane.

Local soils, local stormwater rules, local crew.
Auburn sits at the north end of Owasco Lake in Cayuga County, on a landscape shaped by retreating Laurentide ice. The dominant soils across the city's commercial corridors are Honeoye silt loam on upland till, with bands of Lima and Kendaia silt loams following low-relief swales. Closer to the Owasco Outlet and along the lakeshore, fine-textured Canandaigua silty clay loam and occasional Palmyra gravelly loam appear where post-glacial deltas built out.
Drainage considerations in Auburn are driven by that Owasco Outlet corridor, the Owasco Inlet valley to the south, and several small tributaries that cross the city grid before emptying into Seneca River drainage. Site work here often involves managing seasonal high water tables on the flatter clay-loam parcels, trenching through cobbly till on the uplands toward Route 5 and the NYS Thruway corridor, and engineering stormwater controls that meet both municipal MS4 standards and Finger Lakes watershed protection rules. Rock is generally shallow only on the higher drumlin crests.
Equipment crews mobilize across Onondaga, Oswego, Oneida, Madison, Cayuga, Seneca, Wayne, and Cortland counties.
