Drain King Testimonials

I hired another plumber initially - from "100 years in business" company - to clean the building sewer (in between building and cityline). The guy came with a short "snake" (just 90ft long while need 150+ft for my house) and didn't hit anything even within this distance, my problem repeated again next day. Had to make another attempt and hired Drain King - worked fine this time to my satisfaction (first clog was in less that 90ft distance) and for less money.

Drain King was at my house within minutes and did a fantastic job. While onsite, I asked them to assess my water heater, which I already knew was going. They gave me a great price on a replacement, answered all my questions, and did the job quickly and efficiently. When I asked them about some other concerns about my plumbing, they were honest and told me what I should be looking for for various issues. Highly recommended.

They returned our call quickly, and scheduled an appointment. They arrived on time, and called to let us know they were on the way. Problem was solved, and the price was reasonable. We'll use them again!

Chuck from Drain King was right on time - he even called to let me know he was a few minutes from the house. Very courteous - took care of my clogged drain - doubled check to make sure it was OK - he answered all my questions and I'm definitely calling him back for several other plumbing projects I have. Excellent job!

Replaced a broken sewer drain pipe that had been crushed/broken by tree roots. I called Chuck on Monday, he was able to come and check out the problem within a couple of hours. After trying to snake out the drain, Chuck described the problem as a probable broken drain pipe. He made some calls and confirmed that they would be able to do the repair on the very next morning. Chuck kept me informed about their arrival. Tuesday morning it was raining hard, but he said that if it cleared up they would be coming. As soon as the rain slowed down, he called to let me know they were on their way. When they arrived for the work, Chuck detailed what they were going to do. As the work progressed he described what they found: an old style drain pipe that could not withstand tree roots. They replaced the old pipes and added a clean-out access pipe, and did a good job filling in the hole and leveling the yard. I am very pleased with the work Chuck and his crew did and would hire them again.

Called on weekend, owner answered and scheduled a time for early Tuesday. Even called me Monday afternoon to let me know he was in the area and could stop by a day early, but I wasn't home. | |Called 10 minutes before he arrived, assessed the job, and fixed it quickly and efficiently. Even gave me some insight on the problems other similar homes in the area have that I might face down the road - one of the benefits of hiring a local company. | |Price was fair - not as cheap as the guys that advertise specials in the papers, but the service was great and worth what was paid. I'll definitely call them again if I have more issues.

I've used Drain King in the past when they cleaned the drain. They're very responsive and got here very quick.

Our sewer lines were 60 year old cast iron pipes that were disintegrating. We had received a estimate from another company, and wanted to get a second estimate. We saw the reviews on here for Drain King, and called to get an estimate. Chuck gave me a ballpark figure over the phone, and then we scheduled an appointment for a full estimate. His estimate was 1/3 the cost of the estimate we had received. He even helped us work with his excavator to have a tree removed (at a really good price too). He was always there when he said he'd be there, and the job was done quickly, and he kept us updated every step of the way. I would definitely use him again, and will refer him to all the neighbors.

The check valve was done on day 1 and the sewer line replacement was done on day 2. Drain King arrived on time each day and finished each piece of the project each day. The amount of excavation that was needed was extensive. Drain King had explained to me that the job might take all day or it might go quick. This job took all day and they did not try to change the price or cut corners. They were very thorough which I very much appreciated.
This is a messy job, Drain King cleaned up nicely. My neighborhood has Orangeburg sewer pipe and will need to eventually be replaced. I've already had my neighbors ask me about the job and I told them I was very happy.

We needed to have our sewer pipe snaked. He was able to get out there the very next morning and snake it. When he was snaking it, we found out the pipe was to far gone which is what we were expecting since we had it cleared a few times before. He was able to make calls and get the permits and get the pipes marked to do the job the following morning. Was there at 8am as promised. Very nice and helpful along the steps of the process.

Called Drain King when I saw a water leak on the ceiling. Turns out the seal on the toilet in the bathroom above the leak had been installed improperly by another plumber. Drain King corrected the problem and there have been no further leaks. All plumbers seem to be a little on the expensive side, but he's reliable and very personable. Service is often done the same day you call, which I appreciate. The quality of the work is excellent.

Drain King is installing a new sewer in Monmouth Junction. I have never had a problem. He is very thorough. I recommend his work.

Discovered that all of the underground drainage pipes in front of our house were collapsed and water was draining into the ground and causing some water issues in the basement. As it was December, we wanted to get the job done as soon as possible before the ground froze and we had to deal with more rain or show. Drain King came out right away to give an estimate and scheduled the job the next day. They analyzed the situation and came up with a new shorter route to the storm sewer. This still involved about 60 feet of hand digging, jack hammering out some bricks and a cement footing in front of our front porch so the pipe could pass under, and replacement of cheap original pipe with schedule 40 pvc. I was nervous about replacing the masonry quickly so we wouldn't have a gaping hole in front of our door, but they were extremely helpful and searched around to find matching brick and quick drying cement so the job could be finished in one day. They did a very professional and quick job, and went the extra mile to deal with our specific needs. I recommend this company without reservation if you need any kind of underground pipe installation.

The company that was originally recommended to me never returned my call. Another company that I had used in the past was also not helpful. I had seen the Drain King trucks in the area for years, and knew they were a local company, so I thought I'd give them a try. Chuck returned my call promptly and was very helpful on the phone. He was able to come to do the work very quickly, and the job was completed right on schedule, very professionally, and very cleanly. The price seemed to be in line with what i would have expected. I would certainly recommend them.
