What Our Customers Say
Real reviews from homeowners across Long Island
“Sewage started backing up into our downstairs bathroom at 11 PM on a Thursday. Called the emergency line and someone actually answered, not a recording. Plumber arrived in under an hour. Found a collapsed section of old clay pipe in the front yard. Got everything flowing again that night and scheduled the repair for the next morning.”
Robert Simmons
Bay Shore
“We have used Snake the Drain three times now for different plumbing issues. Kitchen drain, then a toilet, and most recently a sewer camera inspection. Every time they show up on time, do clean work, and charge what they quote. That kind of consistency is hard to find with contractors.”
Sandra Phillips
Huntington
“Commercial kitchen at our restaurant had chronic drain issues. Grease buildup no matter how careful the staff was. Snake the Drain did a hydro jetting service that completely scoured the pipes. Night and day difference. We now have them come quarterly for maintenance jetting.”
