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!

I really appreciate the excellent service and would definitely recommend him to anyone in need of plumbing help!

I recently had the pleasure of working with Eugene from H&A Plumbing, and I can confidently say he’s now my go-to plumber. I first contacted him on a Friday afternoon, and he returned my call within the hour. He scheduled an appointment for the following day and confirmed there would be no charge for the estimate. He also assured me he could complete the job the same day. On Saturday morning, Eugene called around 10 AM to let me know he was available earlier than planned and asked if it was convenient to come by in 30 minutes. True to his word, he arrived promptly at 10:30 AM. Eugene was incredibly pleasant and professional from the start. He carefully inspected the leaking drain pipe and explained in detail how he planned to fix the issue. His estimate was fair and transparent. He also noted that if additional work was required once the old pipes were opened, there would be an extra charge—and he provided a clear quote for that as well. Eugene was meticulous and gentle while removing the old pipes, taking great care not to damage any surrounding joints. His measurements and cuts for the replacement pipes were precise, and he completed the repair within 90 minutes. He left the workspace spotless, with no mess to clean up, and everything is now functioning perfectly with no leaks. I highly recommend Eugene for any plumbing needs. His professionalism, honesty, and skill are unmatched—and I’ll definitely be calling him for any future work.

I called this company for a few things. The first thing was my Jacuzzi had a leak and wanted to know what was the problem. When I called Eugene he gave me a quick appointment for the next day, but did not tell me that if he comes, I have to pay him no matter how. My major problem was my Jacuzzi and that’s what I called him but on the side, I told him One offmy toilet was clogged. I just wanted a suggestion, but when he walked in instead of dealing with my Jacuzzi right away, he unclogged the toilet within a minute. Then he looked at the Jacuzzi And told me there is a leak which I already know, but he said he cannot diagnose it. Because it is complicated. He wanted to leave right away without diagnosing it and asked me to pay him $150 for unclogging the toilet when I told him, you did not ask me anything before doing the job and the price is high for me, then he told me That it cost him money when he travels somewhere which he did not tell me before coming in. Then I asked him to negotiate the price but he does not wanna listen. He just want $150 no matter how. The next day I called a different plumber who came in and within five minutes That Plumber diagnosed the problem. it was actually the leak from the wall because the wall was not sealed properly.. I do not really understand how these people gets 4.9 Star review. I called him by looking at his review, but it is very misleading. I think this is how he makes money.

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

Spencer has served as my plumber of first choice for years. Spencer is the absolute best. Not just in terms if customer service but also when it comes to technical knowledge. Since we live in an older house, we have known him more closely than I would have liked. However, I am confident that he can handle any plumbing problem. Last time he came with a partner; I forgot his name. But he looked great.

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.

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 Brooklyn, New York

Brooklyn’s plumbing infrastructure is as diverse and complex as the borough itself, ranging from the historic brownstones of Brooklyn Heights to the modern industrial conversions in Bushwick. With a mix of pre-war clay pipes and high-pressure modern systems, a clogged drain here isn't just a nuisance—it’s a potential emergency that can impact multiple floors and neighboring units. Finding a plumber who can navigate BQE traffic and arrive with the right equipment is the biggest hurdle for local residents.

Our service eliminates the guesswork of finding a reliable technician in Kings County. We maintain a curated network of 15 certified plumbers across the borough, filtering them instantly by your specific zip code. Most importantly, we don't just give you a list; we proactively call these professionals to confirm they are available to solve your drain issue today. Whether you are dealing with a backed-up sink in Williamsburg or a main line issue in Bay Ridge, we ensure you only connect with pros who are ready to work right now.

Common Drain Issues in Brooklyn, New York

Historic Brownstone Pipe Decay: Many homes in neighborhoods like Bed-Stuy and Park Slope still utilize original cast iron or even clay sewer lines. Over the decades, these pipes develop internal corrosion and scale that catch hair and debris, leading to frequent, stubborn clogs that standard plunger methods cannot resolve.

Root Intrusion in Leafy Neighborhoods: In tree-lined areas like Ditmas Park or Clinton Hill, massive root systems are constantly seeking moisture. These roots can penetrate small cracks in aging underground pipes, creating dense blockages that cause total sewage backups and require professional hydro-jetting or mechanical snaking.

High-Density Vertical Stack Issues: In Brooklyn’s many walk-ups and apartment buildings, a clog in one unit often signals a problem in the building's main vertical stack. Fats, oils, and grease (FOG) from multiple kitchens often congeal in these lines, leading to back-ups in lower-level apartments that require immediate professional intervention.

Combined Sewer Overflow Impact: During heavy New York City rainstorms, Brooklyn’s combined sewer system can become overwhelmed. This pressure can cause backflow into basement drains, especially in lower-lying areas like Gowanus or Red Hook, requiring specialized backflow prevention and deep drain cleaning to restore sanitary conditions.

Seasonal Drain Maintenance Tips for Brooklyn, New York

Winter Freeze Prevention: Brooklyn winters can be harsh on exposed plumbing. Ensure your basement and crawl space pipes are properly insulated, and keep a slow drip in faucets during deep freezes to prevent the ice dams that lead to pipe bursts and clogs.

Spring Rain Readiness: With the heavy NYC spring rains, ensure your basement floor drains are clear of debris. It is also the best time to have a professional camera inspection to ensure no winter shifting has cracked your main sewer line.

Summer Humidity Control: High humidity in the New York summer can accelerate the growth of organic slime and mold inside drains. Monthly treatments with enzymatic cleaners can keep your kitchen and bathroom drains smelling fresh and flowing freely during the dog days of August.

Autumn Leaf Management: Before the leaves finish falling in Prospect Park, clear all outdoor area drains and gutters. Brooklyn’s street trees drop significant debris that can easily wash into your home’s exterior drainage points, leading to basement flooding during late-fall storms.

Average Drain Cleaning Costs in Brooklyn, New York

$225-$675

The cost for drain cleaning in Brooklyn typically depends on the accessibility of the clog and the equipment required. Simple snaking for a localized clog is on the lower end, while main sewer line clearing or hydro-jetting in older buildings typically ranges higher due to labor and equipment intensity.
