3 weeks agoRR Plumbing Roto-Rooter
280 Meredith Ave, Staten Island, NY 10314, USA
(718) 485-7269Angel was extremely professional. He arrived within two hours of calling this service and calmly explained what he was doing (unclogging our main sewer line) and why he was doing it. He also threw in some lubricant, cleaned up after himself, and checked several times that everything was working before leaving. It was over $800 for about 2 hours of work, but worth it for the quick arrival time and service.
1 month agoSecond time im using roto router fabulous quick and efficient work. He came on coldest night of year i called and problem fixed cleared drains. I placed call 9pm and guy was here in one hour. Worked hard and efficiently. I highly recommend using Roto Rooter. They also give you a guarantee.
1 month agoHoward Fraser (Tech#7906) from Roto Rooter was exceptional! He was professional, punctual, and precise in his evaluation and analysis of the issue that had stumped several other plumbers. His expertise and attention to detail were impressive. I highly recommend Howard for any future plumbing needs - he's a true expert in his field!
9 months agoRR Plumbing Roto-Rooter
557 17th St Ste A, Brooklyn, NY 11215, USA
(718) 485-0207Walter and Jamal came to our home and not only they cleared a blocked pipe they pinpointed where it was blocked worked tirelessly to clear the blockage and checked the traps and helped our home impeccably. They did their jobs outstanding and by the way, true story, they also SAVED/helped a tiny bloody nose bare footed boy in pajamas who accidentally got out of his house on the coldest day and almost got hit by a car! They are HEROES!!! They are ANGELS!!! I highly recommend using this service they have reliable dependable honest employees.
2 months agoOur condo board were told there would be a follow-up visit to insert a camera in the 2-inch kitchen line to check for clogs after snaking out the lower-level line. However instead I was contacted by phone by an aggressive technician who informed me that they do not perform this work and do not use camera's for 2-inch lines. We were charged $800 for just 30 minutes of work to clear a kitchen sink line, which seems excessive. When we inquired about the camera involvement in the cost, we were told yes, and that they would return to perform the camera inspection. I expect transparency and service from a reputable company when told what we are paying for.
3 weeks agoI highly recommend Mike for any plumbing or hydro-jetting needs. He was professional, knowledgeable, and quick to diagnose the issue. Mike used the jetter to clear a clog that others couldn’t fix, and he explained everything clearly throughout the process. He arrived on time, worked efficiently, and the pricing was very fair. I’m extremely satisfied with the results and will definitely call Mike again for any future plumbing work.
3 months agoRoyal Rooter and Drain Cleaning LLC
74 Jefferson Ave, Lodi, NJ 07644, USA
(973) 666-7466DESART was truly amazing. We had a great experience with the drain cleaning service tonight. We had an emergency tonight, Desart arrived promptly, with less than an hour, was very helpful of the situation, and took the time to clearly explain what was going on and how everything worked which we really appreciated. He was very mindful of the work area, paid close attention to explaining to us what’s going on, and made sure everything was cleaned up before he left. His professionalism and attention to detail really stood out. We will definitely be calling him again for any future needs. Highly recommended!
1 month agoHad a problem with kitchen drain which 2 plumbers went back and forth on and couldnt solve. Called Ervis on a weekend. Within an hour emmanuel was at our house. He quickly identified what the issue was and fixed. He was neat and knowledgable and answered all my questions patiently. He explained in layman terms all the things and also the solution. He patiently went over everything multiple times on how to prevent the issue ensuring we understand. Highly recommend!
1 month agoMy mom's house has had issues with the basement pipes (sewer pipes) for years, on and off - house is old, pipes old, tree roots, etc. This past Tuesday the basement had some flooding (again) with sewage (ugh!) - and of course it happened late in the evening. I reached out to my good neighbor right away to see who he could recommend and without hesitation he said to call Royal Rooter and Drain Cleaning. He said they fixed his pipes with similar issues and he was very happy with them and their work. After hanging up with my neighbor I immediately called their number and Ervis picked up (again well after normal working hours). I explained my emergency issue and he said he would have someone there within the hour, which he did!! God bless him!! Desart showed up; he is such a doll and made me feel everything was going to work out, they would fix it. As he worked at cleaning the pipe backup, he showed me the camera footage and remarked that one pipe was ready to collapse and needed to be replaced (as well as all of the tree roots cleaned out). I knew this wasn't a sales pitch; I knew pipe replacement was something we would have to do at some point (and probably should have done years earlier). What was different with this company than others is Desart said it was just one section, not all the pipes, and they could excavate and fix in one day. Others in the past, namely Roto Rooter, had said our entire system had to be replaced front and back and it would be at least 30K. Desart said that was far from the truth - it was just one small section of pipe in the backyard (which he deduced from his sensor equipment when we walked the yard). When he quoted me the price, I actually felt relief - it was very reasonable and was also all inclusive of excavation, pipe replacement, and hydro jet water cleaning to remove all the tree roots. They could come a day later, too, and do it all in one shot, which they did. They were so kind and so respectful and did everything they said they would. I am extremely grateful for having worked with them - I have finally found a company that does good, honest work and one I can trust - I 100% recommend them!
3 weeks agoRooter Experts and Drain Cleaning
74 Bruno St, Moonachie, NJ 07074, USA
(201) 948-9427Everest and his team are best at what they do. They changed our main sewer line to PVC and did a phenomenal job. Highly recommended.
2 weeks agoGreat experience and communication. I was out of town and they were very accommodating and efficient in helping with a clogged gutter drain. I thought that was all that it was but they found that the pipe was cut too short to the house and they installed an extension pipe away from the house. I cannot recommend them enough 10/10
3 months agoA Truly Human and Professional Team When a sewer emergency suddenly appears out of the blue at your home, it’s not just a technical problem — it’s a deeply stressful, unsettling moment. What you need most is quick help and a human touch. That’s exactly what we received from Rooter Experts. Everest was incredibly efficient, dispatching a technician to our home within 30 minutes. That alone brought huge relief. But what really stood out was the professionalism and calm expertise of Bleedi, the technician. His curiosity and methodical approach made all the difference. Step by step, he ruled out possible causes until discovering that the issue had been created by PSEG’s work the previous week, which had damaged our sewer line. He began by carefully jet-cleaning the line to clear a path for the camera inspection, ensuring that the diagnosis was precise and nothing was left to guesswork. Throughout the process, he remained composed, clear, and kind — qualities that matter enormously when you’re facing a scary home emergency. Even after the repair visit, Everest stayed in touch, following up to guide us through the claim process with PSEG and checking in the next day to make sure everything was still okay. That kind of care is rare. Rooter Experts combines technical excellence with genuine humanity, and in moments of crisis, that makes all the difference. We couldn’t recommend them more highly.
4 months agoValley Sewer & Drain Cleaning
420 US-46 Suite 10, Fairfield, NJ 07004, USA
(973) 694-0024Our building had clogged drains. We contacted Valley Sewer and Drain. Sara answered the phone and was very nice and helpful. She told me they would make some scheduling adjustments and get someone to us as soon as possible. Julian showed up within 2 hours. He was fast working and we could tell he cared about his work. We discovered that we had some problems with just snaking the lines. The owner, Ali came down and together they discovered we had some sewage pipe issues. Ali is professional, extremely courteous and determined to get the job done. After snaking (multiple times), jetting, combined with getting a camera into the pipe, they fixed our problem and got our bathrooms and our business up and running. I highly recommend this business for any sewage needs. Our entire experience with Valley Sewer was excellent from start to finish.

1 month agoAngler Plumbing, Heating & Drain Cleaning LLC
598 Hickory Ave, Saddle Brook, NJ 07663, USA
(201) 822-3899Absolutely outstanding service! I got Fabian’s number from my sister, and I have to say he’s probably the most professional, friendly, and honest plumber I’ve ever worked with. He fixed our clogged pipes and also gave me a very fair quote to replace my hot water heater. Without a doubt, he’s my go-to for any plumbing needs!
4 months agoFabian 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!!!
3 weeks agoWe had Angler Plumbing replace the pump in our basement toilet, and they were fantastic from start to finish. The team was professional, friendly, and efficient. They gave us a fair price, got the job done quickly, and even cleaned up after themselves—which we really appreciated. Hopefully we won’t need plumbing work again anytime soon, but if we do, we’ll definitely be calling them back. Highly recommended!

2277 Victory Blvd, Staten Island, NY 10314, USA
(718) 448-7500I didn't initially know about PowerFlo and had 3 other plumbers come by to snake the main sewer line. PowerFlo was the 4th plumber to come by to do the job and Eddie with PowerFlo was the first and only one to fix the issue that the first 3 plumbers couldn't fix. I just wish I had called Eddie at PowerFlo first not wasting my money on the other plumbers. Thank you and we are now sticking with PowerFlo as our service provider moving forward thanks to Eddie's professionalism and speedy work.

4 months agoProfessional Drain Cleaning in Newark
Newark’s mix of historic Ironbound brownstones and modern downtown high-rises creates unique plumbing challenges that require more than a store-bought snake. Whether you're dealing with a backup near Branch Brook Park or a slow sink in University Heights, finding a reliable plumber shouldn't be a guessing game. The city's aging infrastructure often puts extra pressure on residential lines, making professional maintenance a necessity rather than a luxury. Our service takes the stress out of the search by scanning our local network of certified Newark plumbers and filtering them by your exact zip code. Most importantly, we don't just give you a list; we call the pros to confirm they can handle your specific drain issue right now. This ensures you get a technician who is ready to go, saving you from the frustration of making multiple phone calls only to find everyone is booked up. From the North Ward to the South Ward, we focus on connecting you with experts who understand the specific plumbing layouts of Essex County. Whether it's a routine kitchen clog or a middle-of-the-night sewer emergency, our verification process means you get help faster, with the peace of mind that a qualified professional is already on their way.
Common Drain Issues in Newark
Aging Infrastructure: Many older homes in the North Ward and near the Ironbound feature original cast iron or even clay pipes. Over time, these materials are prone to heavy corrosion and internal scale buildup that snags debris, leading to chronic, recurring clogs that require professional hydro-jetting to clear.
Tree Root Intrusion: In leafy neighborhoods like Forest Hill and those surrounding Weequahic Park, mature tree roots are a common culprit for main sewer line blockages. These roots seek out the moisture in your pipes, creating thick mats that can cause complete sewage backups if not cleared by a professional with specialized equipment.
Combined Sewer Overflows: Newark’s combined sewer system can struggle during heavy Jersey rainstorms. This often causes pressure issues in residential basement drains, leading to slow drainage or foul odors that indicate a need for professional inspection and cleaning to prevent backflow.
High-Density Grease Buildup: In high-traffic areas of Newark where apartments and restaurants sit side-by-side, kitchen lines often face grease migration. This 'FOG' (Fats, Oils, and Grease) solidifies quickly in the cool underground pipes, creating stubborn 'fatbergs' that DIY chemicals simply cannot dissolve.
Seasonal Drain Maintenance Tips for Newark
Winter Freeze Prevention: During Newark's freezing January and February temperatures, ensure your exterior drainage points are clear of debris. Frozen clogs in outdoor lines can cause pressure to build up, leading to indoor pipe bursts.
Spring Heavy Rain Prep: Before the April showers hit Essex County, have your basement floor drains and sump pump lines checked. Newark’s heavy rains can quickly overwhelm a partially clogged drain, leading to localized basement flooding.
Fall Leaf Management: Keep your perimeter drains and street-level grates clear of falling leaves during October and November. Clogged exterior drains often lead to water pooling against your foundation, which can seep into your plumbing system.
Summer Humidity & Odors: The high humidity in Newark during July can make drain odors much more noticeable. Periodically flush infrequently used drains, like those in guest bathrooms or basement utility sinks, with cold water to ensure the P-traps remain sealed against sewer gases.
Average Drain Cleaning Costs in Newark
Prices in Newark typically range based on the severity of the blockage. A standard snake service for a single drain usually falls on the lower end, while emergency 24-hour service, main line clearing, or hydro-jetting for industrial-strength clogs will reach the higher end of the spectrum.
Frequently Asked Questions about Drain Cleaning in Newark
How quickly can I get a drain cleaner to my Newark home?
Because we filter by your specific zip code and call plumbers to confirm their current availability before connecting you, we can often find a technician who can be at your Newark property within 2 to 4 hours.
Do you cover all neighborhoods in Newark, NJ?
Yes, our network covers all of Newark, including the Ironbound, North Ward, South Ward, West Ward, and Central Ward. We filter by your specific zip code (e.g., 07105, 07104, 07107) to find the closest available pro.
Are the plumbers in your network licensed to work in New Jersey?
Absolutely. We only scan and verify certified plumbers who are licensed to operate in the state of New Jersey and are familiar with Newark's specific building codes and municipal requirements.
What if my drain clog is a midnight emergency?
Our service is designed for exactly this. We scan for 24-hour Newark plumbers and verify their 'on-call' status by phone, ensuring you don't waste time calling companies that aren't actually answering their emergency lines.
Why is my Newark basement drain backing up after it rains?
Newark's older combined sewer systems can become overwhelmed during heavy rain. If your basement drain is backing up, it likely means there is a partial clog in your main line that is preventing your home's water from exiting against the high city sewer pressure. We can find a local pro to inspect this immediately.
