I called in the morning and Kenny came to our house within 2 hours in blustery winds and a winter storm watch for WNY. Got all new pipes, fittings, kitchen drain and cleared the drain from the garbage disposal out with snake 15ft. We were concerned that our dishwasher was leaking but Kenny said it's most likely the pipes and the kitchen drains were the issue. After all his work the dishwasher was fine and no water was leaking from the bottom of it. I would highly recommend this company to anyone, very fast and efficient work from Kenny the Technician.

I can’t say enough about Jim Ando Plumbing! Not only are they ridiculously accommodating when it comes to response time but they’re honest in what you need and don’t need. Our technician Zach was so nice and had the patience to explain everything multiple times so I understood everything. The staff at the office was polite, kind, and the cheery person you need in the moment. From a small problem to a big problem you can definitely trust they’ll fix it the best way for you and your house!

When I called for service the girl was very polite and the explanation of the process was perfect. When the technician, Zac arrived the same day he explained what need to be done. Although I thought the price was a little high I had him complete the work. GLAD I DID!! Zac was a perfect professional. Job complete. Would without a doubt use Ando again... Nice work Zac!!

We are very satiated with Hazlett. The owner gave us an accurate quote for a retrofit of a dishwasher and the installation crew did truly superb work. Both of the crew were polite, respectful and efficient. A few weeks later we experienced a blockage in our storm sewer from our house to the street and again the crew cleared it effectively, was efficient and respectful. We highly recommend this family owner and run company !!!

Great to work with. Spoke to someone directly who was able to coordinate instead of leaving a message or being triaged to different schedulers. We had a sewer line issue on a cold and snowy day and they were able to get someone out same day. Pricing was very reasonable and comparable to what we’ve paid previously (~$280 + tax) with other companies.

The team from Hazlett Plumbing was such a pleasure to work with. From my initial contact requesting a quote right through execution of the project they were absolutely 5 star. The gentleman (Noah and Jesse) who came to my home were professional, polite and courteous throughout. The workmanship was exceptional and they left the worksite exactly as they had found it. The communication throughout was excellent and always prompt. I would most definitely recommend them to anyone needing plumbing services.

Crew came in and ran all new drain line for a cottage I am rehabbing. Ran all new pipe under floor joist and made multiple connections in an extremely tight area. As a contractor myself, I was extremely impressed with the workmanship. Price was extremely reasonable. Thanks guys! I do not generally give recommendations but it was a great job!!!

Tried to have a dishwasher installed but needed the piping under the sink fixed before they would agree to the install. I called Shawn and he got me on his schedule quickly. He showed up on time, could not have been any friendlier and easier to work with. The price was more than fair and the work he did was top notch. I highly recommend to anyone looking for plumbing services! I'll be calling him again when I need help for sure.

My bath tub had a blockage, and the water was draining slow. I called Home Serve and they sent All Pro Plumbing. I am so happy with the service I received this morning. Omar was timely, efficient, and polite. He showed me what caused the blockage in my tub drain, and what to do to prevent it. He was awesome. Thank you so much All Pro Plumbing, for the great job. I highly recommend.

Omar from All Pro Plumbing was awesome. My water lines were frozen and he came through fast, knew exactly what to do, and fixed everything with no issues. Super professional, easy to talk to, and did a great job. Fair pricing and quality work. I’d definitely call him again and recommend him to anyone needing a solid plumber.

They were wonderful. Our hot water tank stoped working on Saturday night and I called many other places but would not have been able to get anyone to our home until Tuesday or Wednesday as they were all over booked due to the weather. All Pro Plumbing tryed their best to get to out our house on Sunday evening but due to a major job with frozen pipes and no water they were unable to do so which was understandable. They said they would have someone at our house on Monday morning by 9:00 am and they did. Would highly recommend this company.

russell from animo plumbing is the guy you want for any plumbing problem. we definitely recommend animo plumbing if you need help with your pipes or drains. we were really impressed with how well they treated us as customers. after an emergency plumbing call, we saw first hand that russell is by far the best plumber we've worked with. he even teaches plumbing classes, so you know he really knows his stuff. before this, our only experience was with another local plumber, and we honestly didn't realize what good business practice was until we met russell. his way of working is really eye opening and feels refreshing. he always puts the customer first and knows exactly how long a plumbing job should take and how much it should cost. we had a sewer back up that another plumber couldn't fix—in fact, it seemed to get worse. when we called russell, he came out the same day and fixed the problem right away. with all his experience, he knew right away what to do, while the other plumber spent hours without getting anywhere. i'm now a loyal customer because of their skill and amazing customer service.

I have complete trust in Animo Plumbing. They explained everything clearly and offered recommendations based on what would work best for my situation, always keeping my budget in mind. I had all the pipes in my house replaced and got a new water heater installed, which included running a new gas line to swap out the old electric one. Even though it was a big job, Damon made sure I had running water before leaving on the first day, and everything was finished by midday the next day. They really know their stuff, respected my home, communicated well, showed up on time, and did top-quality work. They even checked back with me afterward to make sure I was happy with how everything was working.

Here’s your rewritten, plumber-focused, and NY-geo-relevant review following all your requirements: --- I recently needed help with a leaking water heater at my home in Buffalo, and Animo Plumbing made the whole process smooth from start to finish. Scheduling an appointment was quick and simple, and I was kept well informed about when the plumber would arrive. Taylor did an excellent job updating me on the status, and communication was clear throughout. Damon, the technician, actually finished his previous job early and called to ask if he could come by sooner, which worked out great for me. When he arrived, Damon carefully checked out the problem, explained what was going on, and found that my pressure reducing valve (PRV) was faulty, which caused too much water pressure and damaged the pressure tank for the heater. He replaced both the PRV and the pressure tank, took pictures of the repairs, and made sure I was happy with everything before leaving. The professionalism and attention to detail were outstanding. Customer service here is truly top-notch—from the friendly office staff to the plumbers doing the hands-on work. Every step, from getting a quote to finishing the repairs, was handled quickly and professionally. Joe and Taylor, who helped with a previous job, were also very knowledgeable and respectful. I’m very pleased with how easy it was to schedule service, the prompt response, and the high-quality plumbing work. I’ll definitely rely on them for all my plumbing needs in the future.

I discovered early in the morning water soaked carpet in the basement. Upon investigation it was the gas fired water tank blew. I called Cellino almost immediately and they were able to secure an appointment that afternoon. While waiting, I spent about 3+ hours draining the remainder of a 40 gallon water heater and shop vacuuming up about 7-10 gallons of water out of the carpets. Nick (technician) contacted me around noon and arrived before 12:30 to assess the situation. He gave me an estimate including a discount to save me about $200. He spent about 3+ hours for the whole job. Since I live in old house, he struggled with getting the water heaters out/in the house. Overall, Nick did a great job and as I've come to expect from a Cellino employee, he was courteous and explained everything about the job clearly. Thanks Nick.

Gotta be honest, I was surprised how responsive they were. I’ve dealt with plumbers for 30 years. They tend to make a mess, overcharge and show up whenever they feel like it. Working with Cellino was a completely different. They reached out immediately when I requested a quote, showed up on time, were respectful and did the job fast. They quoted me a fair number for both jobs, kept me informed with the status of the special order part and did the work without issues. They noticed a maintenance problem that needed to be corrected and did that too. Just a great experience all around. I’d recommend them and will have them back again for some preventative work I need done. Very Happy

My furnace stopped working during a deep cold wave. Cellino came out the next morning and completed the repair right away. I have used them for a major ceiling plumbing repair this year and they replaced a hot water tank within 5 hours recently. Their work is really excellent and staff are always knowledgeable and friendly. I have always had a very positive experience with them.

Looking for a plumber that you can trust and depend on? Call Tony at Advanced Sewer & Drain Cleaning. Tony replaced my hot water tank and did a great job. He also spoted a small leak in a humidifier valve and was able to replace it while he was there installing the tank. Tony showed up on time and completed the job perfectly. He also did it on Saturday and there wasn’t an additional cost for it being the weekend. Tony’s pricing was more reasonable than the “other guys” who advertise on TV! Please keep Tony’s card for the next time you need plumbing!

I called Advanced Sewer cleaning after receiving multiple quotes from other companies wanting to dig and replace the entire line. I was told to call Advanced Sewer and drain before I dig to get another opinion. I'm so glad I did! Shawn did an amazing job! He was able to locate the issue (clog and tree roots) rite away. He was able to clear the entire line and the water was following like new pipes. He literally saved Christmas 🎄!!

Gideon was an absolute pleasure to work with from start to finish. Communicative, punctual, patient, and conscientious! He really walked me through all the options in great detail and didn’t rush my wife and I in the decision making process. He also was happy to coordinate his schedule with our driveway contractor to get the downspout drains repaired while the driveway was torn out. A+****+* would definitely recommend!

Highly recommend. This family owned business provided the highest level of customer service. Gideon took my initial phone call and came out to provide an estimate on a new bath install. He provided an excellent quote and communicated all that would be required at various stages of the project. Gideon and his crew were both friendly and professional. They phoned each day to let us know they were on the way, and took great care to leave the workspace neat every day. Because the house was very old, issues came up requiring changes to the original plan. Each time the team took the time to explain the issue and to provide options while also being open to hearing my thoughts and suggestions. The level of communication, professionalism and respect this entire team demonstrated was second to none. gideon’s plumbing will be my “go to” and will be the company that I recommend going forward. Thanks guys!

We used Gideon for a kitchen sink removal/installation and he was fantastic...if I could give Gideon more than 5 stars, I would. He was upfront, honest, and professional throughout our entire job. When being thrown curveballs, he communicated very well and went above and beyond at every turn. This guy is the real deal, and I'd highly recommend him!

This was the 2nd time I’ve called Frank’s (different issue). I mention this because other plumbing companies I’ve used didn’t get return business from me. Now I know who to call. Frank’s has plenty of 5 star reviews but deserves another one. The customer service is top notch for what I’d consider a large company. The techs, particularly Kevin, but also Seth and Aiden, were so kind and respectful. Great personalities too! (Renee was awesome too in taking my calls while I was spiraling). They all went above and beyond with their service and ensured my nearly 70 year old drains were working and never threw in the towel on these tough jobs. Kevin is outstanding and I’m just so beyond grateful for all of his help and hard work. I’m very happy with the service I received and will be using them again. Hopefully for upgrades and not problems. Thank you Kevin, Seth and Aiden!

I cannot recommend Frank's Mr. Plumber enough! After our usual plumber wasn't available for an urgent plumbing issue, I reached out to Frank's this afternoon. The assistant/dispatcher treated our situation with urgency and sent a tech out immediately. Our tech, Joel, was extremely polite, professional, and did an excellent job. He had boot covers on and used drop cloths to ensure our home was left spotless after going in and out in the snow a few times. He fixed our main line issue and a couple of hours later, we have two working bathrooms again! 🥳 The service was also much more affordable than what I was expecting. Frank's may be our new go-to!

Called due to some drain blockages and was helped out by Joel. He was super friendly and kind and was extremely clear with pricing and communication. He did a fantastic job and I could not be more pleased with the service he provided. Highly recommend giving them a call, and if the rest of the team are as great as Joel, you'll be in good hands.

Professional Drain Cleaning in Buffalo

Buffalo's unique charm comes with its share of plumbing challenges, from the historic homes of Elmwood Village to the bustling neighborhoods of South Buffalo. When a drain backs up in the Queen City, you don't have time to call around to multiple shops only to find they are booked or out of your service area. That’s where we step in. Our service takes the guesswork out of finding help by scanning our network of certified Buffalo plumbers. We filter by your exact zip code and proactively call the technicians to ensure they have the tools and availability to solve your issue right now. Whether you're dealing with a simple kitchen clog or a complex sewer line backup, we ensure the right Buffalo professional is ready to head your way. By the time you speak with a pro, we've already confirmed they can service your specific part of Erie County today. No more waiting on hold or leaving voicemails for plumbers who are across the Skyway when you need them at your door immediately.

Common Drain Issues in Buffalo

Buffalo's older housing stock often features vitrified clay pipes that are highly susceptible to cracking and infiltration by the roots of our city's mature maple and oak trees.

The intense Western New York winters cause significant ground shifts. This constant freezing and thawing cycle can lead to pipe contraction and unexpected blockages in your main sewer line.

Local kitchens, especially during the cold Buffalo months, often struggle with grease buildup. Fats and oils solidify much faster in cold pipes, creating stubborn 'fatbergs' that require professional equipment to clear.

Heavy snowfall and rapid spring thaws frequently overwhelm local storm drains and basement floor drains. Without professional high-pressure hydro-jetting, these drains can easily back up and lead to basement flooding during 'Thaw Season'.

Seasonal Drain Maintenance Tips for Buffalo

Before the first Lake Erie freeze, ensure your outdoor spigots are drained and shut off to prevent back-pressure that can cause your indoor drain lines to sluggishly respond.

In the fall, keep your gutters and area drains clear of fallen leaves to prevent organic debris from washing into your sewer line during Buffalo's heavy autumn rainstorms.

During the spring thaw, check your basement floor drain for any signs of standing water to ensure your main line can handle the increased groundwater runoff typical of Erie County.

Before hosting a big Bills game or holiday dinner, avoid putting starchy foods like potato peels or fibrous celery down the disposal, as these are the leading causes of kitchen sink emergencies in Buffalo.

Average Drain Cleaning Costs in Buffalo

$150-$475

Pricing for Buffalo drain cleaning typically depends on the severity of the clog, the location of the blockage (secondary line vs. main sewer line), and whether emergency 24-hour service is required.

Frequently Asked Questions about Drain Cleaning in Buffalo

How quickly can I get a plumber to my home in Buffalo?

We verify availability in real-time. Because we call Buffalo plumbers based on your specific zip code, we can often find a technician who can be at your door within a few hours, even on weekends.

Are the plumbers in your network familiar with Buffalo's older sewer systems?

Yes, we only work with certified Buffalo plumbers who understand the complexities of the city's historic infrastructure, including clay pipes, lead bends, and common tree root issues found in Western NY.

Do you provide services in the surrounding Buffalo suburbs?

Absolutely. Our zip code filtering covers the entire Buffalo metropolitan area, including Amherst, Cheektowaga, West Seneca, and Orchard Park.

Is there an extra charge for emergency drain cleaning in Buffalo?

While we don't set the final price, many Buffalo plumbing companies charge a premium for after-hours or emergency service. We confirm their current availability and status before connecting you so there are no surprises.

What is the most common cause of clogged drains in Western New York?

In Buffalo, the primary culprits are usually tree root intrusion in aging pipes and grease solidification caused by the extreme cold temperatures during our long winters.
