Michelle Ferron

For years we have been plagued with slow drains and an intermittent blocked sewer pipe. We have had Roto rooter out in the past and they ran a snake into the drain and opened it up. Unfortunately the drains started slowing again and the sewer blocked again. When I called Drain Medic I spoke with Raphael and explained our situation. He was very familiar with our problem and recommended clearing the main line with a water jet. He explained the snake that Roto rooter ran in the past breaks a hole through the center but doesn’t clear all the soft blockage in the pipe. Raphael told us when he could come and arrived exactly when he said he would. He explained what he could do to unclog the main line and open the drain completely to allow unobstructed sewer flow. He was easy to talk to and fascinating to observe. It’s good peace of mind to know the job was done right. Everything is moving through the line now as it should. NO MORE SLOW DRAINS. Thank you very much Raphael.

He came to snake my kitchen sink. He checked the pipes. Drained dishwasher when finished. Ran water for a bit. Gave me some information no others had before on products and maintenance. Was very thorough and personable. Really enjoyed speaking with him then prior plumbers. Rates were good rather then others who jacked their rates up just to snake a sink. I definitely recommend them too anyone!

Bernie was prompt, professional, and very polite. It turned out my plumbing issue was not related to a clogged drain, but he called back twice to see how we made out. It was such a nice gesture by him. I highly recommend Bernie.

Bernie came to try and unclog my basement utility sink drain. He snaked the line 75 feet. He discovered it drains into a dry well and wasn't clogged... Just that the well won't accept any more water. Most plumbers would charge you a base fee just coming to look at it and the labor. Despite his best efforts, Bernie couldn't help me, so he said no charge. A quality professional.

Bernie came out the morning after we called to remove an obstruction from our main sewer line. The whole process was prompt, professional, informative and reasonably priced. We will be calling him for any future drain needs!

I've used Joe The Plumber several different times now and always have been very happy with them. They have always been able to come out quicker than they originally said. Which was quick to begin with anyway. The guys have always been polite and extremely clean. They explain everything in detail and make sure it's clear what the issue is and what needs to be done.

Jason checked our sump pump to ensure it was working properly. We knew from neighbors that after a huge snow melt in a previous winter that our basement flooded. As a precaution, we wanted to ensure that our pump was operational. He clearly explained how it works. He tested it and made a minor adjustment. He also suggested we obtain a water alarm for our pump and water heater. He was very professional.

Trying to find a trusted team to work on my recently purchased home was very stressful and consisted of a lot of digging on public reviews. Plumbums caught my eye so I decided to give them a call when I had a new leak from the pressure relief valve on my boiler. I called in and spoke to Susan who was so incredibly kind and helpful. I explained my concerns and she told me she would discuss with Jim (the owner) and get back to me. Within only a couple hours, they called me back to schedule an appointment only a few days later. I had gone into the appointment expecting the worst, a full boiler replacement, being in my future. Jim was on time and also very kind and easy to speak to. I explained my concerns and he took his time examining my 30-year-old system. He had no problems explaining how the system operated and even advised that I have more life in the boiler than I expected! I felt no pressure during the entire experience and didn't feel like I was being upsold or charged for something I didn't need (even though I thought I would!). Jim and Plumbums have definitely been added to my list of go-to companies for any plumbing or heating services I'll need in the future. I'm already planning on a return visit for a water filtration system and more down the road! 5 stars across the board, no questions.

Excellent experience overall - from the quotation process, scheduling and installation. A clear scope of work was provided for my hot water heater replacement. Zach was very professional, punctual and friendly - he answered all of my questions. He also ensured that the work area was left clean and neat. This was my first time using Plumbums and I will not hesitate to call them again as the need arises. I highly recommend them.

Brett & his team were great! I got connected with him late on a Sunday (it also happened to be Father's day) after coming home to our septic system randomly backing up on us. He was incredibly friendly on the phone, and able to schedule something for the following morning. His team was at our door early the next day, and were quick to find the source of the problem, fix it, & clean up. I would highly recommend Brett for any blocks, leaks, or cleanings you might need!

I recently secured Scott’s services to redo my downstairs bathroom. I had a water leak and needed immediate service which Scott did promptly. He reached out to me every step of the way to let me select my accessories and installed everything I wanted where I wanted it. He made suggestions every step of the way and made very practical suggestions throughout the process. He was timely, efficient and exceptionally neat and tidy. I would recommend this plumber without any reservations if you are interested in a new look to your bathroom.

5 stars isn’t enough to describe the service Scott from Colony Plumbing provided. He returned our call in less than 24 hrs and came by to look at our work and give an estimate . He was able to complete the work that day. The price was extremely reasonable for what we needed done. His work is pristine. He brings many years of experience and you can see that in the quality of his work. So glad we had Scott help us out today.

Great service. Beautiful work putting in my water softener in my old house. Field stone cellar. The guys were incredibly polite, knowledgeable, and just did an amazing job. I had to leave in an emergency and thought I would come home to a TRUE MESS. I was shocked to see they picked up everything, closed all my doors, swept up all debris and even made sure my cat was still in the cellar. It was truly a pleasure to work with these nice young men. The whole process from quote to installation took less than a week and there were no surprises or oops we didn’t see this kinda stuff. The quote was the quote! Great job guys and thank you.☮️

Jen and the office staff kept me updated on the project from start to finish. The owner Eric addressed any concerns I had and handled everything in a courteous and professional manner. Ricky, the technician that led the install team for our new propane boiler system was professional, friendly, and explained the process to us at the start and kept us apprised of the progress throughout the one day install. Farmington Valley works with a broad variety of financing options, including the CT Green Bank. Can speak highly enough of the professional service they provide.

From the moment I scheduled the appointment with Rebecca, everything was smooth and professional. They were incredibly quick to dispatch Cole & his team from Ray Page Plumbing to our home in Ellington to check a water leak coming from the ceiling. Cole and his team were super friendly, thorough, and very professional. They took the time to properly assess the issue, explained what they were doing, and gave us a clear diagnosis after completing the initial work. What I really appreciated was their honesty i.e., when the scope of work turned out to be less than originally expected, they reduced the final estimate accordingly. That level of integrity is rare. Overall, a very professional and trustworthy experience. I highly recommend Ray Page Plumbing and especially Cole for anyone needing plumbing service.

Called Ray Page Plumbing for an estimate to do some work in my home. Rebecca was great to work with in scheduling that visit as needed (Thank you Rebecca!). Scott was dispatched, was on time, had a great personality, answered all of our questions with great patience (BIG thank you to Scott here!) and completed the job in a very timely manner. Ray Page Plumbing is now far and away the team I will look to for any of my plumbing needs going forward! Have already recommended their services to others! Keep up the great work!

Chris from New England Service Company was fantastic. He took his time explaining the plumbing issue and the needed repair. He was very professional and completed the work quickly and neatly. He was also able to provide quotes on some more complex work but did not pressure us to sign up for the repair immediately. We have used several plumbers over the years and Chris is by far the best.

5/31/19 - I used New England Service Company again. This time to install 3 faucets in the main and master bathrooms. Again, Dale did a fantastic job. I really like this company because they communicate with you. They called me a few days before my appointment to let me know they would be at my house a little later than expected. I also recieved a call from the Dale as well regarding the time he would at my house. Excellent customer service. I highly recommend New England Service Company. 3/24/19 - New England Service Company is a great company to work with. I accidently put a nail through a water pipe in my laundry room on Sunday 3/24/19. The company returned my call quickly. Dale came out took a look at the damaged pipe and explained to me what needed to be done. He was very personable and repaired the cracked pipe quickly and there was no mess. If you need a plumber I highly recommend the New England Service Company / Dale.

No more leaving voicemails or waiting for callbacks from busy shops—we ensure a professional is ready to head to your door in the Greater Hartford area immediately, 24 hours a day.

Common Drain Issues in Hartford

Hartford is known for its beautiful, mature trees, but those expansive root systems often find their way into older sewer lines. Invasive roots are a primary cause of slow drains and backups in residential neighborhoods like the West End, requiring professional hydro-jetting to clear safely.

Many of Hartford’s historic residences still feature original cast iron or even clay piping. Over several decades, these materials can corrode, scale, or shift, leading to persistent clogs and structural vulnerabilities that simple DIY fixes can't touch.

With Connecticut’s heavy seasonal rains, basement floor drains in Hartford homes are frequently put to the test. If these aren't cleared of debris and sediment, you risk significant water damage during a typical New England downpour or during the spring thaw.

The city’s diverse culinary scene and dense housing mean that "FOG" (Fats, Oils, and Grease) often ends up down the kitchen sink. In Hartford’s multi-family housing units, grease buildup is a leading cause of localized blockages that can impact entire building stacks if not addressed by a pro.

Seasonal Drain Maintenance Tips for Hartford

Fall: With Hartford's dense tree canopy, ensure your outdoor drains and gutters are clear of fallen leaves before the first freeze to prevent ice damming and basement backups.

Winter: Connecticut winters are brutal. Keep your indoor drains flowing and consider pipe insulation to prevent stagnant water from freezing inside pipes located near exterior walls.

Spring: As the snow melts in the Connecticut River Valley, check your basement sump pump and floor drains to ensure they can handle the increased runoff and rising water table.

Summer: Increased humidity can lead to condensation issues in your AC drain lines. Have them flushed professionally to prevent mold growth and indoor water leaks during Hartford's muggy July days.

Average Drain Cleaning Costs in Hartford

$175-$475

Pricing in Hartford varies based on the severity of the clog, the equipment required (such as motorized snakes or hydro-jetting), and whether the issue is in a small branch line or the main sewer line.

Frequently Asked Questions about Drain Cleaning in Hartford

How quickly can I get a drain cleaner to my Hartford home?

By using our zip code filtering and live verification, we often find Hartford plumbers who can arrive within 2 to 4 hours of your request, even during peak times.

Are the plumbers in your network licensed for Connecticut?

Yes, we only work with certified plumbers who are fully licensed and insured to operate within the state of Connecticut and the city of Hartford.

In this region, we see a frequent mix of tree root intrusion in older neighborhoods and heavy grease/mineral buildup in the more densely populated urban areas.
