Johnny Drain's Sewer & Drain Cleaning

Reina B.

Absolutely honest, professional and patient. While I didn't actually employ Johnny, he spent several minutes on the phone with me explaining why my new gas stove wasn't working. He certainly didn't have to share his knowledge with me and he certainly could've scheduled an appointment and charged for a visit or extra stuff. But he was candid and sweet and suggested a handyman could do the job of opening the line.

His openness made me write this review and if I ever really need a plumber, Johnny is who I'll call.

I called Johnny and he came out ASAP. He did a great job and even helped me clean up the mess and with the price!! Hopefully I don't have to call him again but if I do Johnny will be the one I call. Thanks Johnny!

Instead of Eek! I thinks not, I went with Meh. I've experienced better which is two star. Reason is out of fairness since I didn't get to experience the quality of his work, but I'll speak from the customer service stand point.

My 2nd floor bathroom sink had a very stubborn clog that I couldn't clear. My neighbor suggested trying the $49.95 service folks but their Yelp reviews didn't instill any confidence in them. Searched for a local plumber and found Johnny Drain. Seeing the 4 star reviews lead me to give him a try. Checked his website for services and more information and it was pretty repetitive. Click on a specific service and the same information is shared amongst all of them, nothing in detail to that specific service. Oh well, not everybody is great and making websites so I call the number. Phone rings for a bit and then goes to voicemail. I leave a detailed message and a text message also as suggested via his voicemail. 24hrs pass and no response or call back. My better half calls the next day also leaving a detailed voice message and still no call back. 2 days later we buckled down and tackled the clog and finally...finally cleared it.

This review is not in regards to the quality of service.

Are they still in business?

Belated review, but I had great service from Johnny a couple of months back, with a stubborn clogged drain that defied the garden variety home depot power-drill attachment snakes. Johnny came over with a van loaded with the big guns, and dialed about 20 feet down till he cleared the obstruction. He wasn't the cheapest -- or the most expensive, but he charged what seemed like a fair price, and got the job done. Also, a true NYC character, just like in the old days. Highly recommend.

Called Johnny in the middle of the night, gave me a very fair estimate and drove out to my house in 30 minutes. Job took longer than estimated but did not charge me extra. Even gave me some citric cleaner to allow me to clean up the mess. This is my go to plumber from now on, very well appreciated the service Johnny. You are the man!

This review is long overdue! As a new home owner with little experience in house maintenance, I had a huge back up. After calling many plumbers with no response, Johnny called back and came over within a few hours. He was so patience in figuring out the issues, came up with a solution and got the job done so fast and for a reasonable price. He is the go-to guy for plumbing problems.

So I'll start by saying, if you need a plumber, call Johnny Drain! My bathtub had been clogged for days and anytime I ran water into the sink, it would back up into the tub. Based on his reviews inn yelp I called Johnny Drain. I made an appointment for 7pm. He arrived exactly at 7 took a look at the sink and tub went to his truck to get the needed tools and within 15 minutes of arriving, had the bathtub and sink unclogged and running freely. Johnny Drain was punctual, personable, efficient, reasonably priced and fixed my bathtub in no time.

2nd time calling the King of Drains in Queens. Called 6:10pm, left a message and he called back at 6:30.. by 6:50 he was at my front door. This time it wasn't baby wipes.. it was grease clogging up my main line and it was backing up into the shower/toilet in the basement.... Johnny snaked the main.. 15 minutes.. tested another 10 minutes.. all clear.. in and out 25 minutes! If you own a house.. you better save this guys number. THANK YOU JOHNNY!! You saved me again!

I tried to have Johnny come out to install the shutoff valve today, and because of the previous 3 star review he came out here and then declined the work.

Perhaps 4/5 stars would have been a better initial rating, but 3/5 is perfectly accurate given that he was willing to waste not only his own but also my time to come tell me that the reason he didn't call me back 5 months ago was that something had come up. OK.

Fast, affordable, great work, great guy!! I would recommend him to friends and family.
