**Highly Recommend!** Ever Clear Sewer and Drain provided exceptional service. They promptly came by to snake our main line and effectively resolved our clog. Their technician not only fixed the problem but also offered expert advice and options for future maintenance. Professional, knowledgeable, and efficient – couldn’t ask for more!

I 100% recommend GUS and Everclear Sewer to anyone that is having issues. Gus spent time with me on the phone on a Sunday late afternoon explaining and educating me on solutions. He then came to inspect issue and cleared the problem. He is professional, fairly priced and an overall nice person. He mentioned short term and long term solutions that I might run into in the future and how to keep my sewer line clean and flowing properly. Thank you Gus. I will definitely be calling him if any other issues come up

I had a clog in my bathroom sink and already had someone come and fix it. They broke a wall and replaced a pipe and $400 later it still wasn't working. I was desperate so I searched online and found Everclear and thank goodness I did. I read all the reviews and decided to try them. I spoke to Gus on the phone and he sounded very honest and reasonable. He came and 10 minutes later the clog was cleared with no mess. Gus was wonderful! Honest, friendly, prompt and reasonably priced! He's just gained a new customer for all future work! Highly recommend!

David came to the rescue when I called him at 10pm on a Friday night and he showed up in under an hour. He worked hard to fix a deep clog in our pipes, and even came back the follow day to ensure the job was fully done. He found a 4ft long piece of wood in our drain pipe that a contractor must've dropped in there! Unreal. David saved the day and I highly recommend him.

I have been having problems with the main sewer for years. They keep telling me that it was clear. But as you can see this was drop down the vent pipe before I owned the building. I found david by chance. He was fast heat price And worked hard and double checked his work He pull out two beer bottles out of the main. Great service. You would be lucky to get a great mechanic like him. All I could say after he pulled the 2 bottles out is. I can’t believe it. 5 stars

Last night our toilet wouldn’t stop running and then started leaking from the base — not what you want to deal with after midnight. I called Local Plumbing Company - PlumbingBO, and to my surprise, an emergency plumber in NYC was at my door within the hour. He diagnosed a damaged wax ring and replaced it right away, plus adjusted the fill valve so everything worked perfectly. The service was quick, professional, and priced fairly for late-night work. If you ever need trustworthy NYC plumbing, these guys are absolutely worth calling.

My shower suddenly lost pressure, and no matter what I tried, the water barely trickled out. I contacted Local Plumbing Company - PlumbingBO, and their plumber showed up right on schedule. He diagnosed the issue as mineral buildup in the shower valve and cleaned it out completely. The water pressure is perfect again, and he even gave me some tips on maintaining my fixtures. If you’re looking for dependable NYC plumbing, this team knows their craft and treats customers right.

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.

Or Katz did really great work-- is kind, friendly, and professional--and offered better prices than other competitors I contacted previously. I called him to unclog the shower drain (which had been problematic since I moved in two years ago and had become no longer functional over time), and now it runs perfectly. He came to fix it that same day that I called. He also fixed my toilet and installed a new seat while he was here. I think it works best to text details (name, address, and what you would like done, when you will be home) in the morning and then call so he can fit you into the schedule that day. I'm so happy with the service today and will definitely call again when the need arises. Thank you!

We’ve used No1 Sewer for sewer maintenance and snaking, and they’ve been great to work with. Katz, the owner, really knows his stuff. He’s responsive, straightforward, and makes sure the job gets done right. His team shows up on time, works efficiently, and keeps everything clean when they’re done. Pricing’s fair, and they don’t try to upsell you on unnecessary work. Overall, a reliable company we’d definitely call again.

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 Elizabeth

Dealing with a clogged drain in Elizabeth can bring your entire household to a standstill, especially given the busy pace of life in Union County. Whether you are living in a historic home near the Elmora area or a modern apartment closer to the Port, plumbing issues don't wait for a convenient time. That is why we have revolutionized how Elizabeth residents find help. Instead of you spending an hour calling every plumber in the 908 area code only to find out they are booked, we do the heavy lifting for you. Our system identifies the highest-rated technicians in your specific Elizabeth neighborhood and verifies their immediate availability. We call them first to ensure they have the tools and time to solve your drain emergency before we ever connect you, saving you time and frustration.

Common Drain Issues in Elizabeth

Many Elizabeth homes feature historic plumbing infrastructure that is more susceptible to sediment buildup and pipe deterioration. In older neighborhoods, cast iron pipes can develop scale that catches debris, leading to frequent slow drains that DIY chemicals simply cannot fix.

Tree root intrusion is a common culprit for sewer backups in the more residential, tree-lined streets of Elizabeth. Mature root systems seek out the moisture in your sewer lines, creating stubborn blockages that require professional hydro-jetting or motorized augers to clear effectively.

Being a high-density urban area, Elizabeth's multi-family dwellings often face 'community clogs' caused by grease and foreign objects entering shared lines. In these environments, a backup in one unit can quickly become a problem for the entire building if not addressed by a local expert who understands Newark-adjacent plumbing layouts.

Flash flooding and heavy North Jersey rains can overwhelm local basement floor drains. When the Elizabeth River rises or storm sewers reach capacity, residential drains often back up, requiring immediate professional attention to prevent water damage and unsanitary conditions.

Seasonal Drain Maintenance Tips for Elizabeth

Before the harsh New Jersey winter hits, ensure your outdoor drains and gutters are clear of fallen leaves. Clogged exterior drains can lead to ice dams and water backing up into your Elizabeth basement during the first big thaw.

In the spring, Elizabeth experiences significant rainfall. Check your basement sump pump and floor drains to ensure they are free of debris so they can handle the increased water table and prevent localized flooding.

During the humid Elizabeth summers, be mindful of what goes down your garbage disposal. Starchy foods like corn husks and potato peels from summer BBQs can quickly clog pipes in the heat, leading to unpleasant odors and slow drainage.

As temperatures drop in late autumn, grease and fats solidify much faster in your pipes. Avoid pouring any cooking oils down the sink, as the cooling ground temperature in Union County will cause them to harden and trap other food particles instantly.

Average Drain Cleaning Costs in Elizabeth

$175-$475

The cost for drain cleaning in Elizabeth typically ranges based on the severity of the clog and the equipment required (such as standard snaking versus high-pressure hydro-jetting). Emergency after-hours or holiday service may incur additional fees.
