Dave Riley is the absolute best drain service. He is affordable, honest, and funny once you get to know him. I had to use him a lot before we had our drain fixed and he always worked me in as soon as he could. I never waited more than 3 days even if he had a full schedule. Dave is a great and nice guy and most everyone I know recommends him. The only ones who don't are those who do not know of him. Wonderful man and great service.

A rental main septic line was backed up. Carnahan's snaked the line from inside the house all the way to the septic tank and left. There was no improvement and they came back the next day to snake from the septic tank all the way into the house and left. He provided a 25% discounted rate for the second snaking. Sill no improvement so we brought in another vendor. They snaked the line and were unable to get all the way through. A camera showed a root ball blocking most of the pipe as well as a significant blockage 2/3 of the way from the septic line. The line was hydrojetted and the hydro cleared the root ball (about the size of a softball) but was unable to get past the second blockage. The line was dug up and an 18" section of 4" clay pipe was found to be mostly full with cement (leaving about 1 3/4" opening in the clay pipe). It's possibly an artifact of how snaking is done, but I'm surprised the snaking was considered successful and made it past the blockage. I'm leaving 2 stars - 1 for quick response (same day of call), and one more star for being polite when I called to provide this feedback. For a quick fix, Carnahan Drain Cleaning might work for you. But in my case they were unable to fix the problem, assumed twice it was fixed, and I was charged twice despite there being no way it could have been fixed.

Great example of what drain opening contractors should be. Very knowledgeable, and a great price with abilities that include cameras/ toilet replacement and more. Don't get bamboozled by the first google search on drain openers wanting to charge you big $$$$ and finance you. This company is the one you want to do the work the right way for the right price the first time.

I had a nightmare clog in my drain that was backing up both my kitchen and laundry room, leaving us without use of either for days. I called two different plumbers: the first one came out but we're still waiting on their quote days later, and the second quoted me an expensive price for major, disruptive repairs. I was dreading the hassle and expense.Then Aaron showed up, and wow—what a difference! He had that magic touch and unclogged everything in literally minutes. No mess, no destruction, just quick, efficient work that got everything flowing perfectly again. On top of that, he was super friendly, explained everything clearly, and made the whole process stress-free.If you're dealing with drain issues, skip the delays and big quotes—call Aaron instead. You won't regret it! 5 stars all the way!

Good dude, good work, good advice, good price, would recommend again, 5 Stars Has given me direction to fix an issue myself and saved me money. Called again for a job where a sink and dog bath need to be hooked in to the water and drain system of my home. The drain connection from the sink before had to be lowered in order to be able to properly drain from the new unit. Showed up on time, did the job as promised for a good price

David completed a job that another plumber refused to attempt. It involved using a jackhammer with a whole bunch of skill, experience, and creativity. His quote was the final price which is extremely unusual. David carefully explained what he was doing and even gave us options. We chose the one he thought was the best, because it made the most sense. We highly recommend David for any plumbing job no matter how large or small. He is the best!

I spoke with Kyle and the plumber who worked with him. My basement drain was clogged. They worked until they got it unclogged. They were courteous and explained the process before they started. They kept me informed of the progress as they went along. I was very impressed. I would certainly recommend Drip & Drain to family and friends.

I've spoken with Kyle a few times after moving into our new house - each time he's been courteous and helpful. Most recently he came out to review a wet spot in our subfloor. He quickly diagnosed the problem as a poor caulking job from a different plumber who installed a new bath/shower combo, and recommended we replace the caulk. He was happy to do the work himself, but explained that this was an easy fix for almost anyone, and recommended the materials we need to buy to do the work ourselves. Kyle will be the first person I call when I need an honest opinion on any plumbing questions I have in the future.

Zaine was amazing! He explained what was wrong with my furnace in a way I would understand and so super nice! Timing was amazing and Zaine was at my house within 2 hours of me calling in to get a service on a Saturday! He did not have the part on hand to fix my furnace but he was able to get it working until he returned on Monday with the replacement part and installed it in less than 5 mins. Thank you so much again!

It was Saturday and I scheduled an appointment online for a Monday. I got a call a few minutes later saying they actually had an opening today. Zaine was here in about an hour from that phone call and he had us all fixed up in about a half hour. VERY impressed with the service, efficiency and expertise of this company. Oh and the price was affordable! Well done APEX

I was very impressed with the technician, Eli, that came out. He explained things very well and was super attentive and knowledgeable. He was able to get things fixed quickly. I was also very happy with the speed at which I could get an appointment. The pricing was very expensive compared to others. The repair cost more than a new water tank/heater, so that was kind of surprising.

We recently had our entire basement plumbing redone (everything except the main drain), and I cannot say enough good things about Glasmeier Plumbing. The scope of work was extensive, and they handled everything thoroughly and professionally. From the very first phone call, everyone was kind and responsive. Mary, the receptionist, made the entire process easy to understand and ensured we were scheduled for the very next day. That level of communication and efficiency meant a lot, especially given how much work needed to be done. Gabe and Dominique handled the job, and they were outstanding. They were professional, honest, and took the time to answer all of my questions. They clearly explained the process, were transparent throughout, and did an amazing job. The quality of their work truly speaks for itself. If this is how Glasmeier continues to operate, I will be a customer for as long as they’re in business. I would recommend them to my friends and family in a heartbeat. I’m incredibly grateful for this company — they treated me more than fairly, and I am very impressed. Thank you, Glasmeier Plumbing!

Glasmeier has been very responsive and helpful, especially Ryan! He took his time to fully address our issue at hand and cover some more very helpful information otherwise. Dusty was also super helpful in resolving the issue we had with our kitchen drain. We will be happy to call them again when needed. Most certainly recommend Glasmeier!

Absolutely horrible!! Nancy was fantastic but other than that, I got hustled. Plumber came out with another gentleman, very professional, they showed me a video of how the line outside my house was "misaligned", "holding water" and "old clay pipes" and didn't clear anything. Charged me $749. to tell me that in need to replace from house to main. After a second opinion I contact Glasmeier and spoke to the owner and he offered to send crew back out. I got the same fellas and I see the same videos of nonsense and kept to all needs replaced. The plumber SHOOK MY HAND and told me he would return to flag the line yard, tell me where all roots came in and the depth on Monday. Never showed up, a man doesn't shake and break his word. Thank God they didn't, I called a real plumber and he cleaned out EVERY ROOT and didn't rip up my yard or replace anything, that weird huh??? Good to go!!! Now they did say that this will probably need to happen every year or two but the honesty means a lot!! I will be telling evry one of my buddies at the VA about this situation. The eagles club, moose lodge, elks lodge and the American legion friends about how I paid $749. and still had a back up, pay someone else about the same and I see the results. Take your business elsewhere.

I called Wheeland Plumbing after having a drain issue. Brandon came out. He was on time, very polite and professional from start to finish. He had everything needed for the job on his truck. I had no mess to clean up after he finished the job. Wheeland's have always been my first call for any plumbing problems. Highly recommended!

Absolutely love the Wheeland Team! I've worked closely with Brandon and Erica and they are both so amazing! Brandon comes to my properties on time and ready to work! He always explains in detail answers to any of the million questions I have and will continue to ask him without ever getting annoyed. Erica is always so helpful in the office. She promptly provides me with estimates and also answers any questions myself or my team may have. If she doesn't know, she'll find out. She is always on top of everything and yeah I just absolutely enjoy working with them. Actually Brandon has done such a good job at my properties that I actually haven't had to work with them as much which is bittersweet! Prices are fair and honest. 10/10 would recommend them to anyone in their service area and I feel bad for those who could use a Wheeland team in their area but don't have one!!

Wheeland Plumbing is truly top-notch — they always go above and beyond for their customers! Every interaction I’ve had with them has been professional, friendly, and efficient. A special shout-out to Dallas, who consistently goes the extra mile to make sure everything is done perfectly. He’s knowledgeable, respectful, and takes real pride in his work. It’s rare to find someone so dependable and thorough. If you’re looking for a plumbing company that you can trust and that genuinely cares about doing things right, I can’t recommend Wheeland Plumbing (and especially Dallas) enough!

Professional Drain Cleaning in Newark, Ohio

Newark, Ohio, is a community that prides itself on its rich history, from the Newark Earthworks to the historic homes surrounding the downtown square. However, whether you live in a classic Victorian near Hudson Avenue or a modern family home near Cherry Valley, plumbing issues like clogged drains don't care about your home's vintage. Finding a reliable plumber in Licking County shouldn't involve hours of leaving voicemails and waiting for callbacks.

Our service revolutionizes how Newark residents handle plumbing emergencies. We maintain a network of local, certified professionals and take the legwork out of the process for you. We don't just provide a list; we filter by your specific Newark zip code and personally call to confirm that a technician is available to solve your drain issue today. This ensures that when we connect you, you are speaking to someone ready to head to your door immediately.

Common Drain Issues in Newark, Ohio

Tree Root Intrusion: Many of Newark's established neighborhoods are famous for their mature trees. Unfortunately, those roots often seek out moisture in older clay sewer lines, causing significant blockages and backups that require professional snaking or hydro-jetting.

Hard Water Scale: Like much of Central Ohio, Newark residents often deal with hard water. Over time, mineral deposits can build up inside your pipes, narrowing the diameter and making it easier for hair, soap scum, and food particles to create a stubborn clog.

Historic Piping: In Newark's historic districts, many homes still utilize original cast iron or galvanized steel piping. These materials are prone to internal corrosion and 'flaking,' which snags debris and leads to frequent kitchen and bathroom sink backups.

Basement Drain Overload: With the heavy rains often seen in the Licking Creek area, basement floor drains are put to the test. If your main line is even slightly obstructed, heavy rainfall can cause a messy backflow of groundwater into your lower levels.

Seasonal Drain Maintenance Tips for Newark, Ohio

Spring Main Line Inspection: After the heavy Ohio winter freeze and thaw cycle, Newark's soil can shift. It's the best time to have your main sewer line inspected for cracks or root intrusions before the spring rains begin.

Summer Grease Disposal: During Newark's summer BBQ season, be extra careful with fats and oils. Pouring grease down the sink is a leading cause of clogs, as it solidifies quickly in your pipes during the humid summer months.

Fall Leaf Prevention: Before the leaves finish falling in Licking County, ensure your outdoor drains and gutter downspouts are clear. Debris buildup can lead to foundation water issues once the snow begins to melt.

Winter Pipe Insulation: To avoid the 'clogs' caused by ice, ensure any exposed pipes in your crawlspace or basement are insulated. Frozen pipes in Newark can lead to bursts that look like clogs but result in much more expensive water damage.

Average Drain Cleaning Costs in Newark, Ohio

$145-$435

The cost of drain cleaning in Newark typically depends on the location of the clog and the equipment needed. Simple sink snaking starts on the lower end, while main sewer line clearing or hydro-jetting for tree roots falls on the higher end.

Frequently Asked Questions about Drain Cleaning in Newark, Ohio

How quickly can you find a drain cleaner in Newark, OH?

Because we verify availability in real-time, we can usually find a plumber in our Newark network who can be at your property within 2 to 4 hours of your request.

Yes, we only work with certified plumbers who have the specific tools, like camera inspections and high-pressure jetting, necessary to safely clear clogs in the older cast iron and clay pipes common in Newark's historic areas.
