"We called Drain RX, on a Sunday, after noticing our basement was flooded and seemed to be coming from the toilet bowl (thank you toddlers lol). Victor called us back, came soon after, and diagnosed the problem. He had us fixed up and back on track in no time!! Super professional and we can not thank him enough!!"
"Great! John, the owner was super helpful and nice on the phone. Eased all our concerns. The crew, Phil and Tim, showed up right on time and were able to locate the service caps in the lawn in 10 minutes. They showed me clearly how full the tanks were and clearly explained the problem and the solution. The prices quoted were very fair and there were no surprises. It took around 90 minutes. The job was all done outdoors and when they left you would never know it was done. Very neat and professional. The odors, etc we had were gone and we noticed the drains all flowing more freely. Exactly as they said. So glad we had this done before it became a serious and ugly problem inside the house. We highly recommend Priority Cesspool Sewer and Drain. Thank you!"
"I hired Quick Drain for my slow draining tubs. Sal contacted me and I was able to schedule an appointment right away. He was professional and neatly clean up upon finishing the work."
"Barbara Barnagat is an excellent plumber and I highly recommend her. Very knowledgeable, conscientious, pleasant, efficient and cleaned up everything in the basement very nicely when she was finished. I would absolutely use her services again. She’s a lovely person, too."
"Chris came to my house to clear a clogged kitchen drain. He was masked and wore gloves and kept the appropriate social distance. When he arrived I asked if he could also replace a sink drain assembly, which he said he would do. That assembly turned out to be a problem since the old parts were frozen.. Chris took a great deal of care and with significant effort removed and replaced the assemble and then proceeded to clear the drain. Chris then cleaned up the entire area. Chris was professional and courteous. I would definitely would recommend Chris and AAA Dependable Cespool Sewer and Drains."
"Chris is very responsive to the needs of the customer. After speaking with him on the phone about a problem with my clogged drain, he was at my house in less than 24 hours and quickly resolved the drain issue. Excellent business man."

"I had an amazing experience with All Island Sewer & Drain! They came right to my salon suite in Commack to clear a clog caused by hair buildup, and from start to finish the service was top tier. Dominic, the owner, was incredibly accommodating, easy to communicate with, and made the whole process stress free. He was not only quick and efficient, but also took the time to educate me on what caused the issue and how to prevent it moving forward, which I really appreciated as a business owner. They didn’t just clear the clog and leave , they also performed a camera inspection of the line to make sure everything was completely clear and running properly. That extra step gave me so much peace of mind. Professional, knowledgeable, friendly, and truly reliable. Customer service was a 10/10. I highly recommend All Island Sewer & Drain to anyone in need of honest, high-quality work!"
On average, a plumber will take 30 minutes to two hours to clear a clogged drain. If the clog is located close to the drain or an access point and isn’t severe, the project will take about half an hour. If the clog is deep within your plumbing system or is a severe blockage, it can take two or more hours to remove the clog. For this reason, main line clogs tend to take longer, usually between two and three hours.
If your drain doesn’t have metal crosshairs or crossbars, you should use a tub drain extractor. These tools create a grip on the drain so you can turn it using a 1/2-inch ratchet drive, drain key, or wrench. Your drain may not have crosshairs if it's old and broken.
The P-trap (or S-trap in older homes) under your shower is designed to prevent sewer gas from coming back up, so you shouldn’t normally experience foul odors coming from your shower drain. If you do, the vent stack that introduces air into your plumbing system may be clogged, or you may have a more severe sewer main blockage. In either case, hire a plumber to fix the issue for you.
Simple blockages can be cleared using household plungers or manual snakes, provided no severe plumbing issues exist.
Bleach isn’t likely to help unclog a sewer line. Bleach isn’t useful in this situation because it won’t dissolve the grime and debris in the clog. Instead, you want to use ingredients that will have a chemical reaction to clear out the buildup, like vinegar or salt and baking soda.
