Johnny Drain's Sewer & Drain Cleaning

Patrick C.

I had a semi plumbing emergency and Johnny Drain came by in a few hours. I originally though the issue was a partial blockage to the city sewer but apparently it was a full blockage.

We thought a simple rooter would do the job but it didn't work. We had to bring in the hydrojet which also didn't solve the problem. After 5 hours of rooting and hydrojetting, Johnny Drain finally got the issue resolved.

He even checked with my neighbors and also took a look in the street sewers to double check that the problem was localized to me (which it was).

Johnny's very straight forward and works as an honest man. I'm fairly positive any other plumber would have given up after a couple of hours but Johnny Drain was quite persistent. I'll be sure to use him and recommend him going forward. He charged what I believe was a very reasonable rate.

We had a sewer back up in our basement toilet. After calling a well known local plumbing service that charged us and basically did nothing, we called Johnny Drain. Wish we had done that first. He was punctual and professional. He had the job done quickly and easily. I would highly recommend him. I have already given his number to my plumber to refer him to other clients.

Johnny came to the rescue when no one else would! My toilet was clogged and overflowing and after waiting over 3 hours for help from my management company, I called up Johnny (based on reviews on Yelp). He was here within the hour and had the issue resolved in about 45 minutes. He was polite, and efficient. He provided me with a receipt and a business card. Would definitely call him again!

The one drawback is he doesn't take credit cards and prefers cash.

Thanks Yelpers! Thanks Johnny! Called for a slow drain on a Saturday, Johnny said he would be here in a half hour (he does not charge extra for Saturdays.) He showed up in 25 minutes and spent about 10 minutes snaking on the drain. He also gave me plumbing maintenance tips for the whole apartment and taught me a little bit about my pipes. My drain works better than it did when it was first installed! All for a reasonable rate too!

CALL THIS MAN!! I was extremely pleased with John in every aspect one could be pleased. He is an excellent plumber and a wonderful human being. I know I sound effusive but understand that he came to do work at my Mom's, who is terminally ill, and how important it is for the vibe to stay calm and positive. John's energy was professional and low-key. He talked and joked with her and made her laugh. What more could you ask for?
His work was expedient and clean. He explained everything he was doing and did repairs above the initial call that I was glad to pay him for. He did not speed through the job nor was he constantly on his phone, like other contractors I've worked with. I'm so glad I found him because now there is no question about who to call for any plumbing issues. - Lois Queens, NY

I had a sewer problem that didn't seem to respond to a friend's mini-roto, so I decided to call up a plumber first thing the following morning. Johnny Drain was the first plumber I contacted, and I'm glad for that. He showed up prepared for what we later found to be an extremely tough blockage. He was professional about the whole process and walked me through the whole process, explaining simply what he was doing. After 2 hours trying to tackle the problem, he had to resort to his high pressure water jet. The whole time though, he was calm and believed that we didn't need to do something as drastic as excavate to replace piping, assuring us that we just needed to give the jet a chance to clear what was admittedly years of neglectful grease collection.

For the amount of work he had to endure to clear our blockage, he charged us a generous fee and included a replacement cap. I definitely recommend this highly-skilled professional. He offers 24hr service and comes prepared for business. Just a note for your reference, while I don't know if he accepts credit card/check, he does prefer to to be paid in cash. I was still provided a receipt.

my tub has been causing me a huge headache with a clogged drainage that no one seemed to be able to fix completely. Upon my friend's suggestion (which was a link to this page on yelp), I decided to give it a try after reading reviews here. (i was still a little skeptical about the internet reviews though)
He came on time as promised, studied my tub, and a few minutes later, my tub was completely declogged with water going down like niagara falls!
I asked him for a receipt and he gave me one with his company head logo on it, and offered three month warranty (i think it depends on the type of service, so ask him about his policy). I give him full five stars because he well deserves them! =)

Our basement kitchen drain was clogged and we called Johnny Drain based on the good reviews here on Yelp. I rarely see good reviews for plumbing. Johnny came in about hour as he said he would on the phone. He was able to unclog in minutes. Excellent professional service!!! Gave me tips on how to keep the drain clean. I highly recommend Johnny!!! We are definitely going to pass his name to family and friends.

Johnny was Professional and friendly! Came to the rescue quickly and cleared the drain to the main sewer with ease. Removed all the tree roots clogging up the drain causing it to back up. I would recommend him to family and friends.

Johnny came to the rescue when no one else would! He is trust worthy and honest. The prices he quoted me were reasonable and the work he did was above par. I will call Johnny every time I need a plumber. The world needs more honest local businesses like Johnny Drain.
