Highly recommend John and Tyler!! My drain couldn’t be cleared with standard methods. Their expertise solved the problem quickly and neatly. John was very informative regarding how I can conduct periodic maintenance to help the system stay clear on the future.

This is a WORLD CLASS company. I have never worked with a company or people that display such care and consideration for their customers like AAA Advanced Plumbing & Drain Cleaning. The main sewer line in my brand new home was backing up just 2.5 months after moving in. After getting canceled on twice by Roto-Rooter, I finally reached out to Advanced Drain. That first night, Novey and Tyler showed up — extremely professional, on time, and 100% focused on listening to me. Their goal was to fix the issue, and they were willing to spend whatever time was needed. Unfortunately, the problem was much bigger than expected, and after 4 hours they needed to return with a larger machine. The next day, Jim, a 33-year veteran, showed up. On time, professional, and the hardest working person I have ever met. When I was ready to give up, he looked at me and said, "patience and persistence." Sure enough, after 5 hours in freezing cold and snow, Jim got through the blockage. But he didn't stop there — he insisted on coming back the next day to run a camera through the line to identify the root cause. Jim's care, knowledge, and refusal to quit until we had answers is candidly not something you see much of anymore. All of this outstanding front-line service was wrapped together by an unparalleled customer service experience, led by Jamie. She was my first call, and what a warm, professional and genuinely caring person she is. She became a friend — calling me regularly with updates on timing, next steps, and everything in between. If I were to rank every Google review I've ever written, Advanced Drain would sit firmly at #1. I can't say enough good things about them. Thank you to Jamie, Jim, Novey, and Tyler — you are all exceptional.

Glad I found Stanley’s Plumbing to service my finished basement clogged sewer issue. Chris replied quickly and came out the same evening to address my emergency. He worked on the sewer trap until he got the blockage resolved which was no easy task. He had the proper equipment to handle this job. Great service, smooth communication and kept this messy job and the area he was working in as clean and contained as possible. Will use his services in the future and highly recommend them.

Chris and Stan were awesome. We discovered our hot water heater was leaking, and they were able to come immediately to replace it with our desired model and specs. They were thorough and efficient with their work and then handled the permit application with our township. Our inspector even commented on the soldering work Stan did. Overall they made what could have been a headache-inducing situation into a low stress solve. Definitely recommend and would use them again if the need arises.

Amazing service. I had a clogged kitchen sink before and another company came and fixed it and left a huge puddle. Rooter Express came this time around and not only did they fixed it in 10 minutes..they also fixed an issue that was there from the last time. The technicians were very knowledgeable and friendly. If you need fast and efficient work, Rooter Express are the ones for the job.

I had a great experience with Rooter Express. They responded quickly, showed up on time, and were extremely professional. The technician, Frankie, explained everything clearly and made sure the job was done right. My drains are running perfectly now, and they even cleaned up afterward, which I really appreciated. Reliable, fair pricing, and excellent customer service. I would highly recommend them to anyone who needs sewer or drain cleaning!

The kitchen sink backed up suddenly while doing regular dishes. The plumber inspected the drain line, explained what caused the blockage and cleared it completely. They also checked nearby pipes to make sure nothing else was affected. The sink has been draining smoothly ever since.

The bathtub overflow leaked during long baths, causing minor water stains on the tiles. The plumbing team replaced the internal gasket, tested the system thoroughly and ensured no leaks remained. They were extremely professional, friendly and careful with our home. The tub now fills safely and we feel completely reassured knowing the problem is resolved.

Great Plumbing Company and Great Service. Fabian the owner is direct and fair with pricing. I got my kitchen sick and sewer snaked, which were both done by Austin and Harrison. They were extremely knowledgeable, clean and professional. I would highly recommend them for your plumbing needs as service and work they do is great. Thank you Angler Plumbing.

If you need a professional, honest, and straightforward plumbing company, don't waste anymore time and effort, just call Fabian at Angler. His response was the quickest and the easiest. The two fantastic technicians, Austin and Darrell, showed up earlier than the schedule time and was very efficient with the installation of my brand new water heater tank today. They completed the entire process under the time they had told me it would take. The whole place was kept very neat and clean from start to finish. I have dealt with many plumbers in the past, but I can honestly say that they don't come close to this company's standard and reputation. I have to and must recommend Angler for all my family, friends, co-workers and neighbors from now on for any and all future plumbing needs and issues. Thank you so much and do not go anywhere!!!!!!

Fabian is the best. We’ve had a bunch of problems with our steam heat radiators for years and have had different plumbers come to look at them and do work with no real fix. My husband left a message for Angler on a Saturday night and Fabian called back the next morning. He was able to squeeze in a visit to our home on Monday morning and we’re so thankful he came. He was so knowledgeable and straight to the point, no BS. I could immediately tell that he really knew his stuff. He was able to complete the work we needed the same day, and my radiators are the most quiet they’ve been in years and seem to be working so much better now. I wish we had found him years ago, but I’m so glad we can use him going forward. Thank you!!!

I would really like to thank Scott for your professionalism and for David and his crew going above and beyond the call of duty. I know it was no easy feat what they accomplished in 3 days. Being in this business for as many years as I have, it was refreshing and surprising to have a contractor show up on time; deliver the service that they promised; and actually clean up after themselves each day. You sir, have a customer for life. We will certainly be contacting you for all the bldgs in our portfolio. Thanks again for saving this building's 'butts'... all the Pun intended! Work performed - replacement of main sewer line.

Main Man Water Main & Sewer is the man! They did an excellent job replacing our lead pipes with copper. They were super quick & efficient and got the job done in a half day (as opposed to full day). They even went above & beyond by fixing one of our faucets due to an extremely dirty filter. Would definitely hire again for any future repairs. Highly recommended! AAA+++

I have had to deal with two other water/sewer utility contractors and Main Man was far better than them in terms of responsiveness, professionalism and quality of work. I am an engineer/architect so I have some experience with this kind of work. David Reyes, the crew chief, in particular deserves praise for being a professional with real pride in his work. Twenty-fours hours after he first visited our site two different water line breaks had been identified and repaired 100%. I highly recommend them.

My husband and I needed a plumber to track down and repair a second-floor shower leak that was dripping into the family room below. After searching online and reading reviews, we chose a local plumbing service. Eric and Johnathan came out promptly and took the time to carefully inspect the plumbing, find the source of the leak, and fix it the right way. While they were here, they also replaced an older shower door, a toilet, and some worn vanity faucets. Eric and Johnathan were excellent to work with. They arrived on time, explained each step of the repair in simple terms, and made sure we understood the plumbing work being done. They were thorough, professional, and respectful of our home, and they cleaned up everything when the job was complete. The pricing was fair, and the quality of the plumbing repair and fixture installation was outstanding. My husband and I are extremely happy with the service and would gladly recommend them for leak repair, bathroom plumbing, and fixture replacement.

Angelo was so wonderful helping me with a leak under my kitchen sink, very recently. He also assisted me back in 2019 with my basement when it backed up, which was a total nightmare,. Angelo is a kind warm person which makes it even more pleasant to have to deal with the struggles of difficult house issues. I’m grateful to him for going to far extremes in helping me deal with issues in my home. Thank you so much!

Discovered two shower piping leaks at 12pm and before 2pm (same day) Angelo/ crew completed the job. Superb work, professional and very knowledgeable. I appreciated him taking time to explain everything before starting the job. Very fair pricing and have him on speed dial for any future plumbing issues. Highly recommended

Angelo did an excellent job fixing a leak in the sink in our laundry room. He had to redo the piping (and fix the height of the sink cabinet), and the quality of his work was truly impressive. Everything was done carefully and with great attention to detail. His pricing was fair, he was very professional, and he took the time to explain what he was doing while offering helpful recommendations. Communication was fast and easy from the start, and the service was completed in a couple of hours. I highly recommend Angelo if you need plumbing work done.

Consider it Done Plumbing is amazing with skilled, effective, top-notch professionals. Clear communication, compassionate, patient, and knowledgeable in a field so often foreign to many of us. They fixed my NYC family bathroom, shower, and drainage with total confidence, efficacy and positive energy. I would recommend them to anyone with plumbing, water heater or draining issues. I certainly will come back to them should any future issues arise. They're the best.

Incredibly professional and killer operations. I called and spoke to a lovely human (Jerry) and then filled out a form and booked an appt the following morning at 8 AM. Chris and Iggy text me when they were on their way, they were on time and professional! I had an issue where the pipe under my kitchen sink was too low. I have a slide drawer, not cabinet doors so stuff under the sink kept bumping into the pipes which eventually ended up knocking it off, causing a leak. They replaced the pipes and raised the problem pipe so now everything fits and the drawer shuts seamlessly! Thank you guys so much!!

This review is long overdue but wow, I’m so happy I came across this plumbing company. First- Mackenzie, who helped me over the phone, is an angel! So friendly, so informative, so empathetic, esp compared to the other plumbing companies I called. She actually sold me on using the company. Then Ignacio- oh my goodness, what we went through. He helped me replace the wax seal on the toilet that had previously been damaged from our contractor. Because of that damage, we had an opening into the pipe, and because of that we had been having “water bug” issues for months that we couldn’t figure out. It had been an absolute nightmare and we couldn’t figure out the source. Even two exterminators couldn’t nail it down. Then we started to smell sewage and from tons of research I figured out it could be the wax ring. So I started my search for a plumber. I won’t go into details but when Ignacio came and lifted up the toilet, it was like a portal to roach hell opened up. Apparently the disgusting water leaking out had created a nice environment for them to nest in. I cannot tell you the amount of screaming, cursing, and crying that happened as I was with him. Ignacio kept his cool thankfully, even though I’m sure he was thoroughly hating life at that moment too! We cleaned things up together, he sealed things off, and the problem has been solved!! I think I took so long to write this review bc I didn’t want to even think about what I saw that day haha. I literally told Ignacio that I loved him, THAT is how thankful I was for his help that day! And I’m STILL thankful bc the problem is gone (and that day was insane. We both wished we had a camera on us that day. It would have went viral) Professional, compassionate, and respectful from start to finish. Cannot recommend them enough.

Professional Drain Cleaning in Clifton, New Jersey

Clifton is a unique tapestry of historic neighborhoods and bustling commercial corridors, from the classic homes in Dutch Hill to the newer developments near Route 3. When a kitchen sink backups or a basement floor drain overflows in Passaic County, you don't have time to wait on hold. Our service changes the way Clifton residents handle plumbing emergencies by doing the legwork for you.

Instead of you calling down a list of names, we scan our network of local Clifton-area plumbers and filter them specifically by your zip code. We take it a step further by calling them ourselves to verify they have a technician ready to head to your property immediately. Whether you're near Clifton Commons or living in the quieter streets of Athenia, we ensure you only talk to experts who are actually available to work right now.

Common Drain Issues in Clifton, New Jersey

Many of Clifton's older residential areas feature original cast-iron piping. Over decades, these pipes develop internal scale and corrosion that snag debris, leading to frequent slow drains that simple retail cleaners can't fix.

Clifton is known for its beautiful, mature tree canopy. Unfortunately, those deep roots often seek out the moisture in underground sewer lines, causing significant blockages and even pipe collapses in older neighborhoods like Albion Place.

With our proximity to the Passaic River and the frequent heavy storms in Northern New Jersey, Clifton drainage systems often face immense pressure from sudden groundwater surges, which can cause floor drains to back up if the main line isn't perfectly clear.

The high-density living and vibrant local food scene in Clifton mean that kitchen grease and cooking oils are a primary culprit for stubborn clogs. These fats solidify in the cold NJ soil temperatures, creating 'fatbergs' that require professional hydro-jetting to remove.

Seasonal Drain Maintenance Tips for Clifton, New Jersey

Before the first New Jersey frost hits, ensure all outdoor drains and gutters are cleared of fallen leaves. Clogged exterior drains can lead to ice dams and water backing up into your Clifton basement.

During the humid Clifton summers, your air conditioning system works overtime. Have your condensate drain line checked; if it clogs with algae or dust, it can cause significant water damage inside your home.

As the ground thaws in the spring, the shifting soil in Passaic County can put stress on older pipes. Keep an eye out for soggy patches in your yard or sudden gurgling sounds in your toilets.

In the winter, avoid pouring any grease down the drain. Because the pipes under your Clifton home are surrounded by freezing soil, liquid fat will solidify almost instantly, creating a hard-to-reach blockage.

Average Drain Cleaning Costs in Clifton, New Jersey

$175-$525

The cost for drain cleaning in Clifton varies based on the severity of the blockage and the equipment required. A simple snake service for a bathroom sink is on the lower end, while main sewer line clearing or hydro-jetting to remove tree roots typically falls on the higher end of the spectrum.

Frequently Asked Questions about Drain Cleaning in Clifton, New Jersey

How quickly can a plumber reach my home in Clifton?

By using our zip code filtering and live verification, we often find a technician who can be at your Clifton door within 60 to 90 minutes. We confirm their current location and availability before we even connect you.

Do you handle emergency drain cleaning on weekends in Clifton?

Yes. Our verification service operates 24/7 because we know that Clifton plumbing emergencies don't stick to a 9-to-5 schedule. We specifically look for 'on-call' plumbers in the Clifton area who are ready to respond immediately.

Are the plumbers in your network familiar with older Clifton homes?

Absolutely. We work with certified New Jersey plumbers who have extensive experience with the specific plumbing challenges found in older Passaic County homes, including clay and cast-iron pipe maintenance.

Why shouldn't I just use a chemical drain cleaner from a local Clifton hardware store?

Chemical cleaners are often corrosive to the older pipes found in many Clifton neighborhoods. They can cause more damage than they fix. Professional mechanical cleaning or hydro-jetting is safer and provides a much longer-lasting solution.

What happens if my drain issue is caused by tree roots from a city tree?

This is a common issue in Clifton. A professional plumber will use a camera inspection to determine exactly where the blockage is. If it's on your property, they can clear it. If it's beyond the curb line, they can provide the video evidence you may need to contact the Clifton Public Works department.
