EXCELLENT Based on 101 reviews Posted on Linda NTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Rich is, hands down, the guy you want for all your plumbing needs. I had a sewer back up and my toilet wasn't working right. I called him up and got same day service. He was very prompt and had excellent communication with me on exactly when he would arrive . He answered all of my questions and was very thorough taking his time to do what needed to be done the right way. He spent 2 1/2 hours at my house and determined it wasn't my problem...... it was my communities problem. (Mind you, 2 days earlier, my community told me the maintenance team had checked it out and that it was my problem!) Here's the best part about Rich (well, actually there are many) He saw my communities maintanance crew coming down the road and he stopped them. He told them I was having a problem and that it indeed WAS NOT on my end, that it was on their end! This guy actually waited for the maintance crew to go get their tool to take off manhole covers and helped them, up the road, to see roughly about where the clog was. He didn't charge me anything and wouldn't accept anything. He didn't even charge my community after helping them find the problem that they couldn't find days earlier! If that's not a great, honest, straight forward, stand up guy I don't know what is. I will refer him to every single person I know as the best plumber around. I live in Pocono Summit.Posted on Ed BTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a great experience with Rich.

Common Drain and Sewer Issues We Handle
Slow and Clogged Drains
Slow drains and recurring clogs are often signs of buildup, partial blockages, or issues further down the line. We inspect kitchen, bathroom, laundry, and main drains to identify the cause and clear it properly.
This service is appropriate when drains back up, drain slowly, or clog repeatedly.
Broken or Damaged Drain Pipes
Cracked, collapsed, or offset drain pipes can cause frequent backups, odors, or drainage problems. We inspect drain lines to determine whether repair or replacement is needed and explain the findings clearly so you understand your options.


Septic and Drain Camera Inspections
Camera inspections allow us to see inside drain and septic lines to locate blockages, damage, or structural issues. This service is often used for troubleshooting ongoing problems or confirming the condition of a system.
Main Sewer Line Clogs and Backups
Main sewer line problems can affect multiple fixtures at once and often require a more thorough inspection. We evaluate the condition of the line and clear blockages caused by roots, buildup, or damaged pipe sections.
Camera inspections are used when necessary to locate the issue accurately.
Drain Cleaning & Clogged Drain FAQs
What causes a drain to clog?
What causes a drain to clog?
Most drain clogs are caused by buildup over time. In kitchens, grease and food particles are common issues. In bathrooms, hair, soap residue, and hygiene products are usually the problem. Main line clogs can also be caused by tree roots or collapsed pipes.
How do I know if I have a main sewer line clog?
How do I know if I have a main sewer line clog?
Signs of a main line issue include:
– Multiple drains backing up at the same time
– Gurgling sounds from toilets or sinks
– Water backing up into tubs or showers
– Sewage odors in the home
If more than one fixture is affected, it’s usually not just a single drain.
Can I use chemical drain cleaners?
Can I use chemical drain cleaners?
Over-the-counter drain cleaners can sometimes provide temporary relief, but they often damage pipes over time and rarely fix the root cause. In many cases, they just push the blockage further down the line.
Do you offer camera inspections?
Do you offer camera inspections?
Yes. Sewer camera inspections allow us to see exactly what is happening inside your drain or sewer line. This helps identify root intrusion, pipe damage, or recurring blockage causes without unnecessary digging.
What should I do if my drain keeps clogging?
What should I do if my drain keeps clogging?
Recurring clogs often indicate buildup deep in the line, root intrusion, or pipe damage. A professional clearing combined with a camera inspection is usually the best way to identify the long-term solution.
When should I call a professional for drain cleaning?
When should I call a professional for drain cleaning?
If your sink, shower, or toilet is draining slowly, making gurgling sounds, or backing up completely, it’s time to call a professional. Store-bought solutions may offer temporary relief, but recurring clogs usually mean there is buildup, root intrusion, or a deeper issue in the line. Early drain cleaning can prevent larger sewer line problems and costly repairs.
