Work was done in a satisfactory and professional manner. Only negative was that in the midst of job, fee was raised $1,500 because position of sewer line was redirected so as not to harm neighbor's lawn.

We at Drain King, Inc. have been serving the home owners of New Jersey since 1997 with quality drain cleaning and fixture replacement services. As a Family owned and operated business, customer service and satisfaction has always been our number one priority. Our Moto has been "we clean your drains, not your wallet".

"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."

"Very fast reply and prompt service. Knowledgeable about heat pump water heaters and insulation cost reasonable compared to other quotes. Punctual and quick install. The only problems were that they did not bring a long enough hose for a condensate pump and left the pump hook up in a partially finished state, said they would return to fix but have not contacted me to do so. Also they said I would need to make another appointment to return to remove the old gas pipe that went to my old heater instead of just taking it at the time."

"If I could, I would give this horrible service provider a 0.0! I scheduled a plumbing appointment on a call, which was confirmed via multiple texts the day prior to the appt. Then had an employee go to the location during the 4 hour window they specified and wait for the plumber. On the day of the appt, 1 hour into the time window someone calls and says, sorry we’re not going to go because we only do residential plumbing. This was a surprise, as it was communicated to them that this was a business when I had set up the appt. So, I decided to speak with a manager. After spending over an hour of being bounced around from one dept to another, asking for a manager, they never connected me to one and their dispatcher had the audacity to say “sorry for your inconvenience, but you’ll just have to find someone else.” WOW! The hoops they make you jump through and the rudeness is not worth the hassle. I would definitely recommend you find a different plumbing pro for your project!"

"Alpine installed my Trane heating and air conditioning system 18 years ago. At that time, I decided to purchase a service contract that would allow me to receive 2x a year cleaning and inspection. It was the best investment I could have made! Today their technician Troy came to conduct the preseason service on my air conditioner. My appointment was for 10am and Troy arrived promptly at 10am! During the course of the inspection, Troy discovered that the dual run capacitor was leaking oil. He showed me the part and suggested that it could be a problem down the road. Since the system is 18 years old, I wasn't surprised that there might be a worn part that would need to be replaced. Luckily, he had the part on hand and was able to do the repair right away. Because I had the service contract, I received a discount on the parts and labor which was greatly appreciated. I'm so glad that I called Alpine all those years ago. I highly recommend them for your heating and cooling needs!"

FAQs for sewer line repair projects in Bedminster, NJ

The average cost to snake your main sewer line is around $250 for a simple snake. Most sewer line specialists charge between $45 and $200 per hour for main sewer line snaking, so the time involved plays a major role. The price you’ll pay will depend on the severity of the clog, the item causing the backup, how long it takes to remove the item, and more. A more severe issue that requires unclogging a main sewer line will cost $3,100 on average.

Yes, most states require plumbers to be licensed, and for good reason. Hiring an unlicensed plumber could lead to poor quality work, costly future expenses, and potential code violations.

As you browse our pro listings, take note of the “Angi Approved” badge. Angi Approved businesses meet our standards for certification which include:

The owner, principal, or relevant manager passed a criminal background check
Required to have applicable state and local licenses
Maintain an average star rating of 3.0 or better on our network, if they have at least one review
Paying to advertise their services
Meeting any other eligibility criteria required by Angi

Keep in mind licensing is different from certifications. A license is a legal requirement to operate a business, while certifications are voluntary.

You should not attempt to snake your sewer yourself. Accessing and snaking your sewer requires heavy-duty equipment, and while renting is possible, misusing it can damage your sewer main and leave you with very expensive repair costs, not to mention potential environmental issues and severe water damage. Accessing your sewer also exposes you to hazardous sewer gasses, and failing to seal the sewer properly after work can be very dangerous. It’s always best to hire a professional sewer cleaner near you to handle this type of work.

The average cost to unclog a drain is around $200, with prices ranging between $110 and $800, depending on the type of drain and the extent of the clog. Hiring a professional to snake the toilet or sink will usually cost between $110 and $275, a bathtub or shower typically costs around $225, and a main line clog can cost between $100 and $800 based on the severity of the clog and how far beyond the access point the clog sits. Since the labor involved varies, most plumbers will charge an hourly rate for drain cleaning.
