I called Chuck from Drain King via the number on this website, early on a Sunday morning: it was likely his home number and not the work number as the poor guy sounded sleepy yet he was pleasant and still professional at 715am. The appt was set for Tuesday about 12, he called early and said he was on his way, which was appreciated. We have dogs (cocker spaniels) so I put them behind a gate and when they arrived, the dogs were going crazy, barking and wanting the attention, Chuck and his assistant took it in stride even when the gate came down and the dogs got out, jumping and yipping. He even walked them to the door to let them out and they followed him right outside. The guys got to work and it was not an easy clog (the washer drains into the kitchen sink piping and when it clogs, the sink backs up filling with water) but they kept working until it cleared. They did a double check, cleaned up and left quickly, which I appreciated as I was working from home. Professional yet friendly, efficient and definitely patient. The price was right as well. I will definitely hire them again as the drain problem happens a few times a year.

I have used Drain King a few times and Chuck the owner is always great! Quick response, great work, great pricing! He and his son did a great job cleaning up (it was a messy job). I was very happy, as always, with their work!!

Chuck LaSala was recommended to me to repair 2 leaks in my basement. I called him right away and scheduled an appt for a couple of days later. To my surprise, he called me a day earlier and said he could run by to see the work I needed done. Sure enough, as promised he was here within the 20 minute window and got right to work. Fortunately he was able to get the work done that very day. He and his son are real professionals, efficient, great communicators. I feel I got a good price, and liked that they wasted no time getting the work done. In their van they had all the parts they needed to complete the job. I was so pleased with the work done by Chuck and his son that I called a friend of mine to recommend Drain King to him. If I ever need a plumber again, Chuck LaSala will be the person I'll call because I know he'll get the job done.

It was a great experience from the first time Chuck came to my house. His speedy response to my first call made a very difficult time that much easier. He ran a camera through the sewer pipe underground on a Friday morning and saw the problem. By that afternoon I had all my utility companies there steaking out where their lines were. And by Monday morning there was a crew here tearing up my sidewalk to fix this problem. They were very professional and everything was completed by early afternoon! I would highly recommend Chuck from Drain King if you ever have a plumbing problem.

HVAC maintenance man said I needed the condensation drain where my furnace, humidifier, and water heater go cleaned. I found Drain King here. They responded immediately to my messages, and within 2 hours of my request they arrived! They had the work done in around 30 minutes. They were friendly and courteous. Such a relief to get this done so quickly!

Chuck was very responsive and when he arrived, educated us on the problem and the process. As new home owners, you get scared contractors will take advantage of you. Chuck was super patient and made sure we understood everything. I would definitely hire him again!

We had a problem with water seeping into our basement at the front of the house where the basement wall meets the floor. After a lot of investigation, I determined that the French drain must be plugged because very little water was getting to the sump pump even after a lot of rain (the existing sump pump is located at the back of the house). Chuck and his son (also named Chuck) came and looked at the problem and explained that snaking the French drain would not work because the soft flexible drain pipe had probably collapsed (unfortunately, few people use hard rigid PVC pipe for French drains). As Chuck explained, digging up the French drain would be extremely expensive. Therefore, Chuck suggested a second sump system (basin and sump pump) be added near where water was detected. He provided an estimate for this work before we scheduled the work. For the most part, I was happy with the work that Chuck and his son did. My only complaint is related to the concrete repair work around the new sump basin; the concrete used is a much courser grade of concrete than that used for the basement floor so it will never look very good.

Very well. Chuck LaSala and his son arrived when promised and did a thorough and quick assessment of the work that needed to be done. I asked for and received an estimate up front and they quickly got to work. I loved the family business and I loved that father and son came together and worked together seamlessly. All of our problems were fixed and we are very pleased with the results. We finally have a plumber who is responsive, effective, professional, and well worth the money. We are hoping not to have any further issues, but if we do, we know who we will be calling!
Description of Work: We had a leaky toilet, backed up shower, and a sink that did not drain properly, all in the master bedroom. It was a laundry list of problems and we had guests coming in for the weekend.

Chuck was incredibly responsive and was able to get out to my rental property within a couple of days of me getting in touch. We talked on the phone and he let me know that replacement was the only option that made sense after he ran a camera through the line, so I gave the go ahead to move ahead with the work after getting his estimate on the cost. The work was completed as expected and chuck was even nice enough to meet me halfway between his house and mine to get the payment from me. He also took the time to answer any questions I had and provided rough estimates for some additional work that may be required down the line.
Description of Work: Older rowhouse in Trenton needed to have the main sewer line replaced before it collapsed. Called chuck because I had another quote in hand which ended up being thousands more than I ended up paying him.

We had a small part of the job that needed to be done the following week, since the part was not on the truck. We agreed on a time the following week; we had plans for most of the day. When we tried to confirm later in the week, we were told an emergency had come up and no idea when we would be served that day. We could not stay. When we tried to make contact via text message that we were available two weeks later, we did not receive a reply. While I realize the final part of the job was very small, we were disappointed that no communication was made back to us.
Description of Work: Needed toilet fix that was performed professionally and on time. Needed powder room sink drain fixed; that was not completed.
