Rep e-mailed me telling me they were unable to service residents of Staten Island, NY, at the time, when the service request was made. They were looking to expand into said territory in the future. Responses were prompt and professional. Would consider using them in the future.

I had a clogged up kitchen sink and drano didn't work. So I called up the company on a Saturday afternoon and a plumber was dispatched in approx. 2-3 hours. Upon inspection, the plumber determined that the drain had to be snaked. After the first pass, it was partially successful, so a second pass had to be snaked. After the second pass (approx. 30 feet of snaking), it was completely successful, and the drain iis completely unclogged. I've also asked if it was possible to replace a rubber/plastic washer for the (1) p-trap's clean out plug and (2) strainer and tail piece; but the plumber said that they don't have the parts. I would have paid extra for the additional service, but their services was only for drain clearing. On the whole, their service took almost an hour, and I was very happy for the fair price ($49.95+tax) and quick service. I should also add that the plumber was polite and cordial. If all you need is clearing a drain, then this company "is" for you! If you need additional plumbing services unrelated to drain cleaning and unclogging, then this company is NOT for you.

They will not do any work until you sign a completely unintelligible disclaimer that starts with "Know all men by these paresents, that I ... residing at ... in consideration of the sum of One Dollar, lawfulf money of the Unites States to me in hand paid by $49,94 SEWER OR DRAIN INC, and of other valuable considerations, the receipt whereof....' You get the idea. I asked the guy what it meant and he said I had to sign it or he could not do any work. When I asked again, he picked up his tools and was ready to leave. Since the work needed to be done and he assured me that he was not going to charge me more than 56.14 (49.95 plus tax) I signed. He worked for aobut half an hour. The drain was better but not completely unclogged. He made some excuses about the drain not having a trap and when I asked him to check the basement he refused. He said I needed to call "a plumber". Considering the awful disclaimer, and the general shady feeling of the operation, I paid him with a check (there is no way that I was going to give them my credit card number) and was glad to see them go. Basically, buyer beware. I won't be calling them again.

The service was top rate. The plumber snaked two toliets, but was only able to clear one that way. He removed the toliet very carefully so as to create as little mess and disruption as possible. He was able to extract the foreign object (a roll of dental floss - don't ask) and reattached the toliet. He explained the price throughout the process and was super courtious. The only flaw in the service was promptness, though the work was so well done and at a decent price that we would definitely use again.
Description of Work: Snaked one drain and pulled toliet off to remove foreign object.

Called when I got home from work, approx. 6PM. Was told that someone would be at my apt. w/in an hour, which they were. Serviceman came up, took a look at the sink, went back to get the snake, snaked out the drain pipe and was done in about 15 minutes. I live in an apt. and don't have a lot of experience w/plumbers and prefer not to deal w/the property's maintenance staff. I belief they would've charged me the same $50 to snake the drain and my experience would've been less pleasant. Company did what needed to be done, at what I believe was a reasonable price. He even attempted to clean up after himself, which was more than most contractors would do. I finished up, but it wasn't as bad as it could've been

Although they were a no-show on the first appointment, we rescheduled and the job he did was excellent and very reasonably priced. He knew immediately that the slow draining shower was a separate problem from the washing machine problem. While he was there, I asked him to snake the main (which hadn't been done in over 10 years). He charged $49.95 to disconnect the washing machine hose, clear the slop sink drain, reattach all. He charged another $49.95 to clear the shower drain. He charged $100 to snake the main. For less than $200, all my plumbing problems were fixed in less than an hour. He was courteous. He was knowledgable. He didn't leave a mess when he was done.
Description of Work: Shower was draining slowly. Washer was backing up into bathroom sink and laundry room sink when it drained.

Last night one of my tenants called to say there was water in the basement. When I got there I saw that there was 3-4 inches of water covering much of the basement and it was apparent that the sewer had backed up. I called the $49.95 drain clearing company, I was a bit skeptical but what the heck, it was 50 bucks. They arrived about an hour after I called and cleared the drain for the agreed $50. While the guy was there I had him snake out another drain as a preventive measure for another $50. He offered up a 10% discount coupon since I got the other drain done. They also will now do both drains yearly as a preventive measure for $50 total and will come back to clear any blockages for 3 months at no charge. I've used others before but they were less professional and more expensive than these guys. I'm impressed with the service they offer.

They did a pretty good job on my drains. They were able to get it unclogged at the time, however, I am now starting to experience the same problem again. I do think that they are a good company but I do not think I would hire them for any major project, only small minor clogs.

The reason why I started to use them is because I had seen their truck around town so I went to Angie's List and saw their great reviews. When they say they only charge $49 per drain, they charge just that. I had received another estimate on getting our drain cleaned and they wanted to charge me at least two to three hundred dollars to this where this company only charged me $49. They did an excellent job and I have since referred them to my sister and she is now using them as well.

At first the young lady answering the phone did not seem interested. She told me someone would arrive shortly. When I called a second time I was given an appointment for the next day. I was given the name of the serviceman and told that he would call me before he arrived. The appointment was for 10 am. Serviceman did not arrive until 3 pm. Aside from that everything else was fine. The serviceman quickly took care of the problem. He asked to go to the basement where he cleaned out the main line. He was very courteous, professional and efficient. He had a bucket to catch the water. He did clean up the obvious mess. Days later I noticed some of the dirty drain water ran down the back of my washing machine but that was my fault. Had he warned me that it could be messy I should have put down drop cloths to protect the washing machine and the floor. I just had to mop the floor and wipe down the washing machine. Overall it was very good service.

I woke to sludge in the basement sink (along with a flood on the floor). They came in the evening (over an hour later than I'd expected), but stayed until the job was done. Peter worked hard and managed to remove many roots. Now the sink works better than it has in a while.

I explained, as best I could, that I needed 2 gutter drain pipes, one of which was 8-10 feet above ground to be snaked. They said no problem. At our first appointment, they did not show up. I called 45 minutes after the agreed time, and they said they had one of their vehicles stuck. We made appointment for another day. The man showed up and said he was looking for a ''Pea Trap'' for the pipe to clean. I don't even know what that is. I offered a ladder to go up and clean the pipe, and he refused to do the work, saying he would not climb a ladder.
