"Jimmy was amazing. My boyfriend and I were in a serious bind when water started leaking into our kitchen from the bathroom upstairs after we just moved in. I called a handful of other plumbers who wanted to charge us an estimate to come, wanted me to send pictures for an estimate or quoted an exorbitant amount without a clear plan due to the complexity of our issue. I was starting to get really worried until I called Titan. Jimmy was professional, personable and fairly priced. He came that night and determined a plan for a permanent fix. The next day he rerouted all the pipes and corrected the issue in no time. We are so grateful we found him!"

"Joe contacted me right away after my service request. He was able to fit me in the same day for a stubborn clogged sink drain. He was responsive, prompt, and professional and fixed the issue quickly. The price was also reasonable compared to other companies. I would definitely recommend Drain Logics, and would use them again in the future."

"Great experience. Although this was not an emergency situation, we needed the work done quickly. Ralph couldn't have been any nicer or more competent. He answered my phone call right away, and within 24 hours all the problems were fixed. He came out with Peter, and they both worked hard, evaluated the problems and took pride in doing a good job. A third man came out to snake out a drain blockage. They were here for more than a couple of hours, and charged a very reasonable price (labor plus parts) for a few different fixes. Very satisfied. Would use again."

Customers say: Quick response

"Our house main sewer line had backed up at the clean out plug area just before the main emptied to the street sewer system. Mark Scala promptly came to our house this Saturday morning and had cleared the clog at the main trap. I selected Scala Sewer & Drain because of the reviews here on "Home Advisor" and I was impressed as everyone else. Having just come in from a long flight the night before, Mark was very courteous , professional and indicated he'd be right over within the hour. From the time Mark arrived our drain was cleared within the hour. Considering the task at hand, the area was cleaned and disinfected with bleach with little or no debris left behind. I highly recommend Mark Scala and his family owned business. Outstanding service. Thank you again, Mark."

"We had an emergency plumbing issue at our home that began on a Saturday evening while extended family was staying with us. We did not know where to begin. I called several plumbers on Yelp and no one was interested in coming out to a home at 7pm on a Saturday night until I stumbled upon Ignacio at IG Sewer and Drain Cleaning Services. He was at our home within an hour of my frantic call. He located our issue which was larger in scope than we expected. He had video that showed our pipesâ clog and he spent several hours at our home that evening trying to clear the clog! To our great relief, we got the all clear in a few hours and the toilets were again allowed to flush and sink drains opened. Ignacio was polite, courteous and respectful of our home as evidenced by his meticulous work and immaculate clean up post clog resolution ( this included removing a toilet !) He appreciated us using his company and we appreciated his desire to help a family in an emergency situation on a Saturday night. He saved our weekend from sheer catastrophe. His pricing was very fair considering our emergency situation. Since that time, we have used IG services to replace faucets in our bathrooms and kitchen. He is our go to guy and I hope, if you read this review, that you would also consider using IG plumbing service for your plumbing needs. Ignacio is honest, a solid diagnostician and willing to perform emergency calls that few other plumbers are willing to do. We will be faithful customers moving forward. Thank you Ignacio!"

"George responded right away via Angie?s text and then a phone call. Came out the next day to attempt to snake two clogged tubs on second floor of a side-by-side two family home, connected to one sewer line.. Clog was more severe than expected. Came back next day with partner to find pipe where they join but it was behind kitchen cabinet of both homes. Decided to bypass existing line and run new lines from each tub, join them and then drop a sngle pipe to the basement and reconnect to near the main drain. George and his team were professional and communicated in a timely manner. Cleaned up and covered opening with plastic and suggested not to close wall for a week and inspect for any leaks. No leaks so far. Closing walls this weekend. Offered us a great price and an unbeatable 12 month payment plan. Thank you George and team."

"Cory and his team (Don) were professional from beginning to end and no task was too much. My initial call was about just installing an outlet and running ethernet cable to 2 rooms. But while talking he said he would hang up the tv as well as long as I had a bracket, which was amazing! I really thought I was going to have to do that myself or find a handyman for such a small project. Needless to say it took them less than an hour to install the outlet and hang the tv. The ethernet cable seemed to be more of a challenge due to my homes older construction but they made it work and I am absolutely thrilled with the final product. (It was also pouring that day and Cory was down in our crawl space which required him to be outside for short periods of time without complaint) Would definitely hire them again!"

"I recently had plumbing work done and had the pleasure of working with Gashi. He was incredibly kind, respectful, and thoughtful throughout the entire process. Although the project turned out to be more extensive and needed to be escalated, Gashi handled his part with great professionalism and care. He took the time to explain things clearly and made sure everything was left tidy. I truly appreciated his friendly attitude and attention to detail. Highly recommend Gashi for anyone looking for reliable and considerate plumbing service."

FAQs for drain clog or blockage clearing projects in Ridgewood, NJ

Snaking a simple clog near a tub, toilet, or sink often takes about five minutes. Deeper blockages along the main line can stretch the job to a few hours because the pro must feed extra cable and may need a camera to confirm the pipe is clear. Either way, specialized tools help pros work quickly and keep your drains running for the long haul.

Aggressive snaking can scratch pipes, push debris deeper, or even crack older lines. That risk is low with an experienced plumber who matches the cable size to the pipe and eases the snake through bends instead of forcing it. If you’re unsure of your technique—or your pipes are already fragile—calling a licensed pro is the safest, and often cheapest, move.

Start with simple barriers: mesh screens on every tub, shower, and sink keep hair, food bits, and jewelry out of the pipes. Skip harsh chemicals; a monthly flush with hot (not boiling) water clears light buildup without damaging plastic lines. Finally, practice smart disposal—no grease, wipes, or kitty litter down the drain—and schedule routine cleanings if you have older plumbing.

Roto‑Rooter typically charges a flat $160 to $450 for standard snaking, which may include a quick sewer inspection and basic clean‑out. Exact pricing depends on the clog’s location and complexity. Repairs or part replacements fall outside that flat fee, so ask for a line‑item estimate if your tech spots broken pipe sections or recommends additional work.

Most liquid cleaners rely on caustic chemicals that eat through hair and grime—but they also erode metal and even some plastics over time. Repeated use strips protective pipe coatings and can leave you with leaks or premature failures. If hot water or a plunger doesn’t help, call a plumber for mechanical removal instead of pouring more chemicals down the line.
