Rob was wonderful to work with! We had him check our water heater, and repair a leaky old tub faucet for us. Service was professional and personable. Our faucet was repaired quickly and efficiently. I will definitely be calling Drain Wizard when our water pump heater will need to be replaced. He also gave us a lot of great advice and showed how knowledgable he is about the setups in these old houses on our side of town.

I highly recommend Drain Wizard to anyone who needs a great plumber! Recently we had an emergency: our sewer main got clogged, the toilet overflowed and the basement was flooded with sewer water. We discovered the problem at 3 am. I called Drain Wizard and they came right away. They got rid of the clog and immediately arranged for the remediation company to drain water from our basement, remove the damaged flooring and clean everything up. Most importantly, they identified the source of the problem (the collapsed house trap and old corroded cast iron pipes) and fixed it. The team is very knowledgeable and professional. They are very responsive and very easy to work with, the invoicing and payment is straightforward and the prices are fair and reasonable. It was a pleasure working with them, I cannot recommend them enough!

Awesome service! Great to work with and professional. We had been having issues with our pressure regulator and various other valves after moving in. Went through a couple plumbers before finding Drain Wizard Plumbing. Thanks to them it is finally fixed right and we aren’t stressed about it! Definitely going to them first in the future.

I called at 8:00 AM with a septic emergency, and Tim and his son Tray were at my house by 9:00 AM. They were professional, honest, and incredibly efficient. They explained everything clearly and handled the situation quickly. In a stressful moment, they were calm and reliable. I truly appreciated their responsiveness and integrity. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone needing septic or sewer service.

Excellent Service – Highly Recommend! I had a major plumbing issue with 2 out of 3 bathrooms backed up. I contacted CT Sewer Rooter & Drain and spoke with Tim. The very next day, his son Tre came out and handled the job with professionalism and care. They worked hard, were respectful, and got the job done right. The service was fast, affordable (yes—Tim gave me a discount!), and they were super friendly throughout the whole process. I’m 100% confident they’ll take great care of anyone who calls. If you’re looking for reliable and honest plumbers, I highly recommend Tim and Tre!

Mike and John came to our home for an emergency situation and unclogged and descaled our main pipe. Their pricing was so fair and the quality of work was amazing. Would highly recommend this company and will be saving their card for future plumbing needs.

These guys came out in the middle of the night and I'm talking 11: 30 PM/12:00 AM, to help us with a leaking washing machine. They got the job done fast, my dog got a ton of love and attention, and they were completely reasonable for an emergency call. Everything is working perfectly! I'm truly grateful.

I noticed the upstairs shower was leaking into the lower level of the house around 8pm one night.. Of course, I freak out. Who can I call at 8pm!!?!? So im googling 24 hour plumbers in my area and notice daffodil. I had called them a few months ago to unclog a kitchen drain. I remember them being super nice. So I call. Its past 8pm at this point, The office person picks right up and scheduled me for the next morning! I thought for sure id have to wait a day or two since it wasnt an emergency! Nope! They got me in the very next morning!!!! The plumber, Mike, got to my house in the time window the office game me. He was the nicest man. We actually had a lot of fun chatting while he was at my house. He was personable and understanding. He identified where the leak was coming from and gave me multiple options and price points for the services that would need to be done. He was able to do it all that same day! This guy is a LEGEND!!!!! Cutting dry wall, removing corroded pipes from the 1970s, replacing all the shower fixtures and even swept up the dust with a broom for me!!! Seriously, what plumber even does that!? 🤣❤️ It was the least emotionally invasive plumber experience ive ever had. It just felt like I had a long time family friend helping out upstairs! 20/10! 100% recommend! Mike is THE BEST! the price for everything was extremely reasonable as well! Ill honestly only ever call Daffodil from now on!

So appreciative of the prompt above and beyond care and service we received from Mike M and Daffodil Plumbing associates. We live out of state and were trying to assist a family member in CT who had no water for several days due to frozen pipes. This coincided with a huge winter snow storm and sub-zero temperatures where outdoor work was required. Starting with my initial inquiry everyone I spoke with listened well and were very kind and understanding of our situation. They set clear expectations on when the technicians would arrive and we were notified when they were on route. Mike M was very knowledgeable and after locating the problem area he provided us different options on how best to fix it. He was very patient and spent time explaining all of it to us via phone and photos and also to our family member. He was quite empathetic of our distance situation and really seemed to care. You can’t train that! The best plumbing experience we’ve ever had! If you want 5 star plumbing service, call them! Thanks again from NH Mike!

Needed a new water heater, and on the same day I called Daffodil, they did an estimate, removed the old water heater, and replaced it with a new one! I wish had contacted these guys sooner for all my previous plumbing needs, top notch!

Jason is a life-saver. We had a main-line clog on Christmas Day that caused a backup and leak down into our basement. Jason showed up within 15 minutes, and quickly determined that the sewer line had collapsed right outside of our foundation. He was back a day later with an excavator and quickly resolved the issue within a few hours, for a reasonable price. Not only did he do an excellent job with the work needed to replace the line, he took great care to leave the landscaping in a better state than it was before he came. We can't thank Jason enough for his quick help, open communication and professionalism. Will be going to him for all plumbing issues in the future without question.

Call the Plumber was exceptional from start to finish. They responded immediately to our call on a Saturday morning, and Sean arrived at our door within an hour. Sean was friendly, knowledgeable, and took the time to explain each step before proceeding. We felt completely confident in his expertise throughout the entire process. The pricing was very reasonable as well. I highly recommend Call the Plumber and will absolutely use them again. Thank you for being there when we needed help!

We are new to Connecticut and are happy to have found Augie/Mr. Rooter. He was easy to communicate with, answered all our questions, and gave us a fair price. We had him hook us up to the town sewer and crush our septic tank. His crew was professional and they got the work done in 1 1/2 days. We thought we would have been left with a mess in our yard but even our neighbors mentioned how nicely they cleaned up after themselves. We highly recommend!

If you have a plumbing emergency, do not hesitate to call these guys. We came home from work one day last month to find we had no water. After talking and working with a few people over a couple weeks, we called Augie at Mr. Rooter. He spent time on the phone with us (on a Sunday) and came out to our house on 2 separate occasions (one time during a snow storm). Augie and his crew were extremely professional, kind, and efficient. He assessed the situation and did what needed to be done to get our water back. It was a tricky situation but they handled it!!! Honestly, after 16 days of no water, I call him our hero. I would highly, highly recommend this company 100 times over. They genuinely want to help their customers, and are very reasonable. -Meg and Barry

Stop Searching. Call Mr. Rooter of Fairfield County. If you’re dealing with a plumbing emergency and debating who to call—end the search now. Mr. Rooter is the team you want, and Augie and Joe are the reason why. During the worst of the Connecticut deep freeze, they responded fast to a frozen-pipe emergency for my tenants. This wasn’t a quick patch job. They spent two full days methodically diagnosing the issue, opening walls where necessary, and fixing it the right way. They also clearly explained long-term solutions so it doesn’t happen again. The pricing was more than fair—and here’s the part that should make you pick up the phone: they handled another major plumbing issue during the same visit that I had been quoted $6,000 for elsewhere, and it was included in the service. No upsell. No pressure. Just honest work. What truly sets them apart is reliability and care. I called the office Sunday night after hours in the middle of the freeze and received a personal call back. Even though they were booked, they were willing to come out that night if it became critical. That level of commitment is rare. I’ve worked with Mr. Rooter of Fairfield County for years, and the service is always elite. At this point, it feels less like calling a plumbing company and more like calling trusted friends who happen to be absolute experts. If you want fast response, real solutions, fair pricing, and peace of mind—stop looking and call Mr. Rooter of Fairfield County.

The moment the two workers came to my house from the ATeam Plumming and drain they were excellent they introduce themselves.

They worked right through very professional knew what they were doing. We recommend this place highly it was just a great job. Everything was neat. They were very neat. They were just just very polite and professional, and I have my hot water and I’m so happy and it was before Christmas and it was a crush and the whole team at this company from the person who answered the phone for the first time to the owner to the workers have been wonderful.

5 stars – Exceptional Service from Aiden – Highly Recommend A-Team Plumbing & HVAC! I recently dealt with a frozen pipe at my home in Guilford that burst and caused significant water damage—stressful situation, but A-Team Plumbing & HVAC made it so much better. Aiden arrived quickly and handled everything with outstanding professionalism, politeness, and respect for my property and family. Even though he’s young, Aiden’s maturity, attention to detail, and work ethic blew me away. He thoroughly assessed the damage, explained every step clearly (no confusing jargon), kept me updated throughout, answered all my questions patiently, and ensured the repairs were done efficiently to prevent any future issues. He was genuinely caring and focused on minimizing disruption. Thanks to Aiden’s skill and dedication, the job was completed smoothly and to a high standard. This reflects extremely well on Manny Galarza and the entire A-Team crew. If you’re in the Guilford, Branford, or North Branford area and need reliable plumbing (especially for emergencies), these guys are top-notch—honest, prompt, and truly customer-focused. Huge thanks to Aiden—you did an amazing job! I’ll be calling A-Team again and recommending them to everyone. 🚰

Aiden came out to service my boiler you guys installed last February and did an outstanding job. He was punctual, professional, and clearly very knowledgeable. He took the time to thoroughly inspect the system, explain what he was doing, and answer all of my questions without rushing. What really stood out was his attention to detail and clean workmanship — everything was left spotless when he finished. It’s clear he takes pride in his work. I would absolutely recommend Aiden for any boiler service or heating needs.

Professional Drain Cleaning in New Haven

New Haven combines historic charm with the bustling energy of a major coastal city, but its plumbing systems often reflect the age of the architecture. From the historic brownstones near Yale University to the coastal homes of Morris Cove, clogged drains are a frequent headache for local residents. Our service is designed to take the guesswork out of finding a reliable plumber in the Elm City. Our unique verification process means we don't just give you a list of names; we scan our network of New Haven professionals, filter by your specific zip code, and physically call to ensure a technician is available to handle your emergency right now. Whether it’s a stubborn kitchen sink or a main line backup, we ensure the professional who arrives at your door is ready to work before you ever pick up the phone.

Common Drain Issues in New Haven

Many homes in neighborhoods like East Rock or Wooster Square feature aging cast iron or clay pipes. These materials are prone to significant scale buildup and internal corrosion over decades, leading to frequent slow drains that DIY solutions simply cannot fix.

New Haven earned its nickname as the 'Elm City' for a reason. While our mature trees are beautiful, their root systems are notorious for seeking out moisture in older sewer lines. This root intrusion causes massive blockages and can lead to structural damage if not cleared by a professional.

In coastal areas like City Point and along the harbor, sand and silt can find their way into outdoor drainage systems and basement floor drains, especially after heavy coastal storms. This sediment settles in the pipes, creating heavy blockages that require high-pressure clearing.

With a world-class local food scene, New Haven home kitchens see a lot of action. Over time, cooking fats, oils, and food debris—even from the best home-replicated apizza—can solidify in your drainage system, necessitating professional hydro-jetting to fully restore flow.

Seasonal Drain Maintenance Tips for New Haven

Winter: When temperatures drop near the Sound, standing water in poorly drained pipes can freeze and expand. Ensure your outdoor faucets are winterized and interior pipes are insulated to prevent seasonal bursts.

Spring: Heavy New England rains can easily overwhelm clogged gutters. Keep your downspouts clear of debris to prevent water from backing up and flooding your basement floor drains during April showers.

Summer: High humidity in Connecticut can accelerate mold and bacterial growth in slow-moving drains. Use natural enzymatic cleaners to keep odors at bay during the sticky July and August heat.

Fall: New Haven’s famous foliage is beautiful until it hits your drainage system. Sweep fallen leaves away from driveway grates and basement entryways to prevent them from washing into and clogging your exterior drain lines.

Average Drain Cleaning Costs in New Haven

$175-$550

Pricing in New Haven typically depends on the severity of the clog and the equipment required. A simple snake service for a single drain is on the lower end, while main sewer line clearing or hydro-jetting services fall on the higher end.

Frequently Asked Questions about Drain Cleaning in New Haven

How quickly can I get a plumber to my New Haven home?

By filtering by your specific zip code and calling ahead to verify availability, we typically find New Haven professionals who can arrive within a few hours for emergency drain issues.

Are 24-hour drain cleaning services available in New Haven?

Yes, many plumbers in the New Haven area offer 24-hour service. Our system specifically checks current availability so you don't waste time calling companies that aren't answering their phones.

What is the most common cause of clogged drains in Connecticut?

In New Haven, the combination of aging pipe infrastructure and invasive tree roots in older neighborhoods are the primary causes of serious sewer and drain blockages.

Do I need hydro-jetting for my New Haven property?

For older homes with heavy scale or years of grease buildup—common in New Haven's historic districts—hydro-jetting is often the most effective way to clear the pipe completely and prevent future clogs.

Do you serve the suburbs surrounding New Haven?

Absolutely. We filter our network across the entire Greater New Haven area to find a certified plumber who is closest to your exact location and ready to help immediately.
