This company has the three traits I admire most: Honesty, Competency, and Reliability. Ed and his top-notch team removed a difficult sink clog that had stumped my handyman. Pete, the employee, clearly explained his procedures step-by-step while working quickly and diligently to resolve the problem. In a short while, my sink was clog-free! Hats off to Econo-Sewer! read more

I've used there are services four times over the past few years. Fast, Reliable with reasonable prices. Trust and Econo sewer for all your plumbing issues. read more

Had a block in my upstairs sink in the bathroom. Econo Sewer was on time, actually called an half earlier to ask if they could come, and I said yes. Thomas took care of the job in a neat and orderly fashion. Very professional. I've used Econo Sewer in the past, but only with my outside sewers. Now I know they are just as good with the inside sewers. Like with anything else, once you get someone that does the job right, you use them for life. BTW very good prices, even gave me a ten percent discount. read more

This is a first class operation - honest, professional, quality service. Bathroom drain is fixed. I can't say enough about Ed Fitzgerald, the head honcho of this outfit and Sal who actually came and got the job done. We were given Econo's number by two separate persons, an actual plumber who didn't do work in our area, as well as a friend's landlord. After some additional due diligence I called Ed and this morning - a Saturday - the job was taken care of. Ed even called to ask how everything went. Prior to Econo taking this job on, we had a sub-par, so-called "pro" come to take care of clearing a kitchen drain and bathroom drain in the same apartment. He demanded $600 cash before doing the job or even assessing what needed to be done. After taking a check he did clear the kitchen drain - but he did not complete the bathroom drain job. Said we'd need to go into the wall to fix the problem and he couldn't do it as he didn't have the tools. He wouldn't be back to finish the job and wouldn't refund any money... So you can imagine how relieved we are that this plumbing issue has been resolved by the real Pros. For your sewer and drain needs, call Ed, he cares. read more

Our main sewer flooded on Sunday, June 12th, with water in our bathroom and basement. Econo Sewer sent an experienced person, Bernard, within 2 hours because this was an emergency. The sewer was cleared within 30 minutes. I thought it would cost so much more because the service was performed on a Sunday, but the charge was the same as a weekday. We have called Econo Sewer for their service for at least 30 years. I remember calling another service in the past. They gave an estimate on the phone and, upon arrival, said it would cost more because of something or other which I did not understand. I called Ecoco Sewer who fixed the flooding and charged their estimate, with no additional cost. read more

Our toilet was backed up due to our putting non-disposable wipes in the toilet. I called Econosewer and they responded immediately to my problem. A plumber came and analyzed the problem, explained what he was doing and then quickly and competently corrected the problem. He also explained how to avoid the same problem in the future. I would definitely use them again. Steve read more

Eddie spent 10 minutes on the phone explaining to me why the water can't be carried away during a high tide and then I really didn't need to have my backyard drain treated at the present time. He suggested that I put a hose in myself and and let it run for 20 minutes. I was ever so grateful for his explanation. I will be sure to call himIf I need service because he is especially familiar with the problems in Marine Park and knows the systems there intimately since the last 45 years of work. read more

We used Econo Sewer to clear a bad clog in our bathtub and sink. First of all, they were available on a Sunday, with no extra charge! Orlando came and spent almost an hour clearing what was a very bad clog between the tub and sink. There were a few, what looked like scratch marks, left on the tub surface from strenuous effort he made to get to the clog. I called Ed that same day and he asked me to send photos, which I did. He assured me they weren't really scratches and could be taken up with the proper compound.The very next day he showed up to fix the surface of the tub and did restore it to pristine condition. Customer service like that is hard to come by-he could have so easily brushed me off, he had his money and it wasn't a big job. But he stood behind his work and fixed the problem within a day. Very impressed by his professionalism and integrity. read more

Our toilet (we only have one) suddenly became clogged and overflowed, an emergency situation for obvious reasons; we contacted our regular plumber, Robert Sessa, but he was working in Staten Island all day today and couldn't make it. However, he immediately recommended Econo and gave us their phone number -- which turned out to be an excellent recommendation. We called Econo, explained our situation, and they showed up here in less than two hours, just as they stated on the phone. Ed and his assistant Larry were friendly, courteous, and professional, wearing masks and showing badges indicating they were fully vaccinated against Covid-19. They fixed the clog quickly and efficiently, and gave us some helpful advice about how to avoid such clogs in the future. Total charge, including tax, was less than $100 -- amazing for such top-notch emergency service. Now we're glad to have two go-to plumbing services, Econo and Sessa -- both great, both highly recommended! read more

We've had a chronic problem with our sewer line out to the street, both in recent heavy rains and just sometimes when the washing machine drains. Another sewer service came and did a really cursory job of snaking and then hydrojetting and a quick camera inspection, from which they would not give me a video. (Always stipulate up front you want a video of the inspection.) When the problem recurred I wanted to try someone new, and my regular plumber suggested Econo Sewer. I'm so glad he did. Ed and Daniel turned up next day as agreed (a Sunday) and worked the problem until it was really solved - jetting, inspection, jetting, inspection, etc., using different jet heads to address specific problems. Ed sent me the video showing final condition right away and even called me up later to describe what he's seeing in it on further study. Really trying to solve our problem. AND - charging about half what the other guys charged. I am super impressed with these guys. read more

I had a blocked kitchen drain pipe that I spent an entire Saturday snaking myself to no avail. I was pulling up some nasty gunk, but I just couldn't get it all out. So when I woke up on Sunday with a stiff back, I threw in the towel and called these guys upon a reco from Plumber Mike in Park Slope. Econo Sewer are the real deal when it comes to clearing drains. They finished up a job in Manhattan and two pros, Ray and Mike, were at my house within an hour of my calling. They quickly checked out the situation, pulled in the big equipment and within 30 mins they had completely cleared my kitchen drain, and knocked out a slow upstairs shower drain, to boot! Fast, friendly, and super reasonable- esp. for coming out so quick on a Sunday. Oh, and the 90-day guarantee and taking credit cards on the spot, was a major plus in my book, too. I will definitely use them again if I ever have an issue with other drains. Done. read more

Ed was awesome. Timely, efficient, and clean. I called him last night after spending my entire Saturday waiting for another company that didn't show. I stressed that timeliness was an issue for me, and he promised that I would be his first appointment at 9am. This morning he called at 9am, saying the truck was on it's way, and by 9:30am he was unclogging my bathtub drain. I paid by credit card, and he emailed me a receipt to give to my landlord. Not only that, he cleaned up everything and made sure not to leave my bathroom a mess. I am quickly learning that a good plumber is hard to find. Econo Sewer is definitely a great service that I would recommend to anyone. read more

Eddie did an excellent job. Our basement flooded and we needed qualified help quickly. Eddie was there within an hour and fixed the problem professionally. He's also a very nice guy. read more

We called at 2:30pm on a Monday and Ed got a plumber to us by 5:30pm that day. The plumber, Daniel, was kind and informative when explaining to us what was going on in our pipes after the video exam, and worked diligently to clear them with the water jet cleaning. We can't recommend Econo Sewer enough, especially Daniel for his expert service. read more

Could not recommend more. The owner Ed is professional and a great guy. I Recently had heart operation and have been told to be very careful with Covid. Ed talked me through how to clean my main line via FaceTime since no one could enter the house. He would not accept payment. Please reward and use this company. read more

Econo sewer wasn't the first company I called for my clogged bathtub drain, but they will definitely be the next. I first called the RR giant and had a miserable experience. After giving me an appointment time, they twice called to push it back, never showed an hour and a half after they said the technician was on the way, and gave me a song and dance about if and when he would show up. Down the drain with them I cancelled. Next day, I called Econo Sewer, got an appointment for that afternoon, and the technician showed up when they said he would. The serviceman, Levi, was pleasant to work with, understood our concerns, promptly fixed the drain, and cleaned up when he finished. Perfect. I highly recommend Econo Sewer. read more

I had a blocked sewer line on a recent Sunday. They came within two hours as promised and fixed everything. The service person was neat, respectful, knowledgable, efficient and really funny. I will not hesitate to call Econo again. read more

Eddie was able to fit us into the schedule very quickly and was able to diagnose the problem within minutes. Very friendly and helpful.

I spoke to the Owner of the company on the phone about a plumbing problem over the phone. He was very honest and gave me options about the blockage. He was the first plumbing company that whole heartedly gave me advice over the phone. All the other 10 companies I called wanted to give me pay for a consultation when their worker comes to my house (crazy!!). I don't need someone to come over my house to tell me that I have a blockage, I already know that. So Econo Sewer gets 10 stars from me. read more

Can't speak for their service because 20 minutes after my appointment time, no one had shown up. I called and they wanted me to wait another 20 minutes. I told them when I made the appointment that I do not live at the property and that if they were going to be delayed to please text me. I don't like rushing to my property only to wait at least 40 minutes. I called another company. I don't think it's good business to make a customer wait without telling them. read more

this company's terrible. they were supposed to come to my apartment today to fix 2 drains, and never showed. they never bothered to call me about it, either. i had to call ed and ask what happened, and he said he was too busy to submit my building's insurance forms. so i guess he decided not to show up. or call. seriously, who runs a business like that? i asked for an appointment next week cos hey, drains need to be fixed. he was completely noncommittal and said to call on monday. really?! no thanks. i certainly would never rely on this company for a plumbing emergency. read more

Three weeks after putting down a laminate floor in the basement we found water on and under it. We called Econo Sewer and within a couple of hours a plumber showed up. He knew immediately that the problem was caused by a clog in a pipe near the main pipe leading to the city sewer system. He had to cut a hole in the wall panel and the sheetrock to fix the problem. He worked really fast and only charged $75. The floor was ruined but things could have been a lot worse. read more

I seriously could not give these guys a worse review. We have a tub that won't drain, we call our landlord who tells us to be at our apartment between 3-5 pm. My husband leaves work EARLY and these jokers never show up. We call our landlord who says, "Oh, well they said they were there at 5 pm and you guys weren't home." Really? We were home, waiting for them, with our phones handy. Our landlord calls back and tells us they will be there the next day at 7. Sure enough, 7 pm rolls around... no sign of these guys. I got a call at 9 pm and the person I spoke to LIES and claims that he called at 7 and that we didn't pick up. When I told him that this wasn't possible and that I didn't appreciate his dishonesty he said, "Well I don't like your tone and I see no reason for us to do business together." Bottom line, these guys are inconsiderate, irresponsible and dishonest. I would never let them into my home and trust them to fix anything. read more

Completely honest and affordable. This is my second time using Econo-Sewer, after having a very good first experience with Ed. We called on Christmas Holiday weekend where Ed immediately picked up, promising to come to the house next day, on a SUNDAY, day before Xmas eve. That Ed provided rapid expert service on a holiday schedule, and at no extra charge, made me want to give 10 stars here. We were extremely happy and grateful to have the second toilet working again for our overnight guests arriving from out of town to celebrate with us.. These guys are terrific. Very professional, neat and courteous. and Ed- if you happen to read this- YOU THE MAN! thank you once again. i hug you. read more

Had a pipe clogged. Called these guys after reading several positive reviews. They send out a plummer who as very helpful and fixed the issue in no time. Answered all my question and was very pleasant. Came on-time, and was very professional. Their work is affordable and guaranteed which was important to me. read more

My backyard drain was clog and water was coming into my basement. Econo show up on time clear out my backyard drain for a very reasonable price. read more

Thank you Bernard and Larry (#52 and 26, if I'm not wrong). Both of you have been our Santa on the eve of Christmas. We can't thank you enough not only for you great service but for your jovial and amicable nature. Our restaurant drain was clogged and after hearing despairing answers from all the companies, they came to our rescue. Cleared the problem in about an hour. It was a lot of work but they did it all without complaining. Definitely calling them back when we will have any sewage problems in future. read more

These guys are the best! Had a big blockage in my kitchen sink line that didn't clear on the first try, so they tried a variety of methods until the job was done. We even had to deal with a burst pipe, but they soldiered on and kept at it until the job was done. They were professional, on-time, and committed to the job and my satisfaction. I'd recommend them without reservation. read more

Sunday morning woke up to a kitchen sink that wouldn't drain. "Ed" was referred to me by a friend. Called him up and within 30 minutes his guy was here and snaking out the drain. Pleasant, neat, respectful, and good at what he does. read more

Very disappointed with professionalism, called for service and was told they were sending someone over, I waited two hours and no one ever showed up. I called back and never reached anyone, left messages and no response. Not the way to do business. read more

Beware of this company. My Bathtub wasn't going down due to buildup of hair over the years. These 2 rookies that came in had no business doing plumbing work. They broke my pipes and water was gushing everywhere. They claim the pipes were old. They used this big snake and forced it. Before they do a job they make you sign this paper that they are not responsible of any damage. So I had to sign the paper in order to get the tub working. Scam artists to the max. Avoid. read more

Used them for a drain snake and they were crazy expensive and didn't really solve the issue. Definitely had no confidence in their knowledge... read more

Faced with a clogged main sewer line and a flooding basement, was referred to Econo Sewer by Petri Plumbing (the weather had them backlogged). Called and got an immediate response, they took down my info and gave me a window later in the afternoon when their tech could show. Econo called me back in a half hour saying that their tech could show earlier. The guy got there, asked me if I knew what the fee was, which I didn't and he told me the flat fee for the job which was less expensive than I thought. He was very courteous and took care of the problem immediately. Excellent Job!!! I can't say enough about this level of service. read more

Service was respectful, straightforward and I trusted the evaluation. I was surprised at the cost which was $1400 for a video camera exploration of an internal drainage pipe and the sewer pipe and flushing the sewer line to clean it. I don't know if this is just what it costs these days for this type of service. read more

I had a blockage in my sewer line on Saturday, 5/4/13. I called Roto-Rooter at about 11:15 pm. They said they'll send someone within 2 hours to provide a free estimate. The dispatchers indicated they couldn't give me an estimate until the plumber checks the pipes. In 3 minutes they called to let me know they can't come until 8am - 10am on Sunday, 5/5/13. Thank God for that pause in time! I checked Yelp for reviews on Roto-Rooter and they were horrible. I discovered that Econo-Sewer had consistently good reviews. I called Econo-Sewer at 8:35am and received a call back from Ed who said someone should arrive by 10:30am. By 10:23am Mike arrived. He checked two traps, cleared the pipe going in and out the house and was done before 11:30am. He reinstalled the basement tub drain stopper that I took off on Saturday. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS COMPANY!!!! They are no nonsense with reasonable prices. read more

charged me 280.00 to rout my sewer line thought this was expensive cleaned my sewer n wallet out normally pay 170.00 n they were here much longer sorry Charlie. read more

This is a good service. I used them to clear a clogged main sewer line that others weren't able to get done. They used heavy jetters to accomplish this. Their pricing was much more than your average sewer cleaner but they did get the job done. They showed up on time and were professional. read more

Failed to show up after receiving a time and quote. Call another company to service.

This service is unreliable. I contact this company at approx. 9:45 am on 10/21/2016.. I get a call back from the Plumber at 11:30pm asking me if I needed the service. I stated yes! The plumber asked me to make sure i needed his services because he didn't want me to "waste his time". Can you believe this? The Plumber said he will be at my house within an1 hour. Since the Plumber did not arrived , I called him back at approx. 1:00 pm the Plumber said his boss sent him to another job. The Plumber did not give me a call to say this to me.Please contact me before using this company. They are so unreliable! If I could give Econo Sewer and Drain Services no star I would. I will file a complaint with the BBB and NYS and NYC Consumer Affairs agencies. you've been warn! read more

they cleaned the drains well, but left a big mess, one time flooding my floor. their price skyrocketed
