Just a few hours ago I had this company come to my residence to clear a backed up sewer line. After checking they asked if i had a bucket available to catch the flow, I offered my shop vac to used. They denied it. Once they finish they rushed out while letting me know I need to get a professional to come clean up after. The mess was raw sewage that they let shoot out of the pipe onto the basement floor. They made no attempt to catch it or clean it up. i am not struggling to find someone to help clean up this huge mess they left I would never recommend this company to anyone read more

George and Jay showed up on time the day I called and opened the toilet in 5 minutes. They cleaned up beautifully and asked a reasonable price. They were recommended by my regular plumber who was not available that day. Would definitely call them again. read more

If I could give this business a NEGATIVE star rating I would! Spoke to GEORGE FROM Macaulay Sewer service on 06/05/2026. Asked about their availability on a clogged drain issue; He advised me his availability and I let him know I would call him back later in the afternoon on the same day to confirm the appointment/service. (meaning if I would have chosen to use them!) I did not get to call back the same day. The next morning someone knocks on my door and it's someone from his business explaining "my boss sent me for a clogged drain". I was shocked & replied "I'm sorry but I do not need your services; & that I NEVER EVEN CONFIRMED with your boss to come out for the service call." The guy said ok; and that was it. Well 13 days later I received a BILL and am being charged for service that I NEVER requested/USED; all this guy GEORGE could respond over the phone is that "he didn't "recall our phone call", and played the amnesia card. He Demanded the only way out of this ordeal is to PAY HIM! Why would I pay you sir???; I didn't confirm any appointments with you, you sent someone to my house by your own doing. And not even considering that you're a business owner would you decide to handle this the right way-other than to try and SCAM me out of my money BECAUSE YOU MADE A MISTAKE!?! Stay far away from these people. They'll take your inquiry as a LEGAL BINDING CONTRACT! read more

I called George for a clog we had in our school and he was here within the hour and cleared our clog ! Just a great person and gets the job done ! Thank you George and crew for helping us get our problem fixed read more

Always is able to come the same day and has always been prepared to fix whatever clog we have. Also cleans up any sewage residual!

George is a stand up guy. Showed up with his buddy in his truck in less than three hours of call the same day. Spent more than an hour snaking the black junk of the the kitchen sink. Have me 30 warranty. So far so good :) read more

Our landscaper managed to run over our sewer clean out valve and break it clean off, which led to backup in our yard. When we noticed it, I reached out to George. Within 90 minutes (on a Sunday morning) he was at our house. He cleaned out our lines and quickly replaced the clean out pipe with a much larger, more noticeable one. Couldn't have been faster and more professional. If you are in central NJ and are having any sewer/plumbing issues, I recommend you call him. Work will get done super fast at a fair price. read more

Used him almost a year and a half ago when I first purchased my home built in the 50s. We knew it was a problem drain from the home inspection so after attempting all the solutions and unsuccessfully snaking it ourselves we called the pros. The drain would be good for a day or 2 then right back to being clogged again. It took him 3 times coming back to 100% fix the problem, but when he finally figured it out we haven't had an issue since. And when I called him the 2nd and 3rd time he was punctual and was just as nice as the first time he came over and got paid. Wouldn't hesitate to call again. Very nice and professional, I just realized that after all this time I never left a review and he deserved it. read more

A1 Service !!! These guys come in a really take care of business. I have used them before and never had a platform other than word of mouth to really share my experience. Today my upstairs bathroom sink was backing up into my downstairs bathroom sink so basically they came in and found the correct pipeline . When they opened up the line all I heard was the loudest gush! Now some companies would have used those sound effects to describe something horrible and expensive but he didn't . These guys were not afraid to get their hands dirty to get the job done. The pricing was extremely fair in my opinion . They provided me with service within a couple of hours of my initial call, They had great attitude and made everything easy breazy . I will gladly call next time I am in a Jam. read more

Macaulay Sewer Service Inc - The best in Town and Out - Plumbing Near Me - Middlesex, New Jersey

After a full day Saturday cooking for the week - the kitchen was in high gear. So was the garbage disposal. We were cleaning up Sat PM and all three sinks in the kitchen stopped working. We never had a clog before and I guess we were due and it was a real show stopper (multiple doses of OTC drain cleaner didn't budge the water. Sunday AM, calling plumbers from Basking Ridge Mom's FB page - one returned my call. Kip from Thomas Plumbing called me back and gave me George Macaulay's number (Kip Thomas does not do snaking/rooting). I called and he picked up right away and said he'd be here in an hour and half. Spot on he was here, explained exactly what he was doing and cleared the clog and cleaned up after himself - (basement was cleaner when he left). We tested the sinks and he left - instructing me on the dangers of garbage disposals. Extremely reasonable - especially on a Sunday! He was done in just about an hour - clean up and all. I highly recommend G.A. Macaulay Sewer and Drain Cleaning Services - George and his son were professional, courteous, respectful, efficient and very effective. read more

These guys are the best. I had a very slow drain in my master bathtub because my wife's hair wasn't being caught in the strainer. Called him in the evening and the next afternoon, he was here on time! They Removed the drain and cleaned the hair. Quick and clean. Also, recommended something to help solve the hair catch problem. He considered it a courtesy service and simply said, "when you have a real problem, call us". WOW! This is officially my plumber for life now, no doubt about it. read more

I never write many reviews. However, with the many 5 star reviews, you can tell that Macaulay Sewer Service is wonderful and I wanted to add to this Yelp Review. We have called upon George a few times with sewer back ups. He is punctual and friendly. Prices are reasonable. Then man and his workers know what they are doing! "Macaulay Lets It Flow!" read more

These guys were great. Our kitchen sink was totally clogged. The first plumber we had could not remove the clog and told me that the entire drainage pipe in the basement would have to be replaced! Mcaulay came the same day I called, got right to work, took care of the clog and left everything nice and clean. And all for a very fair price. read more

My review is long overdue. We called him for service 6 months ago. Our bathroom downstairs is overflowing. 2 years ago we called Roto rooter & they're the worse. George was excellent! We called him up & after 3-4 hours he came. The price that was charged to us is pretty reasonable. He is a very honest guy too! He is highly recommended! read more

I had two sinks backing up on a Friday and called several places for someone to come out. No one could come before Monday. When I called Macaulay Sewer, they said they would see me in about an hour. George and Jared showed up and got both my drains running again, repaired another problem and even cleaned up after themselves! The cost was reasonable and I even got a 30-day guarantee that the drain would remain clear. I don't think I'll need it but it is nice to know they stand behind their work. I definitely recommend these guys. read more

We had a problem with our washing machine draining..every time we set the water load to 3/4 or full it would overflow onto the basement floor. I called Macaulay Sewer at 9:45 PM and received a call back the first thing in the AM. Macaulay scheduled me for that afternoon. George, the owner, arrived in a professional manner and went right to work on the problem. Within an hour he had the drain cleared and running freely. Besides that the price was a SUPER deal! I can not say enough about the quick and professional service that I experienced with George. I will highly recommend him to anyone with a clogged drain or sewer. THUMBS UP! read more

My sewer line was backing up into my basement and Macaulay Sewer Service came within 15 mins on a Friday evening. They were so knowledgeable and friendly and were able to fix the problem in no time. The price was very reasonable. If you have any sewer or drain problems don't hesitate to call them! I highly recommend them!! read more

George is "the man." A frozen sump pump drain left me with a flooded basement. We called these guys and they showed up pretty quickly. While we were busy cleaning up the mess, George and his helper were trying to break thru the blockage, cut through the pvc pipe for better access, even brought in the power snaking cable with cutting tip. But after about an hour he figured it wasn't going to give, he said he wasn't going to be able to break thru the ice (we could feel the cutting tip was cold), so he advised that I just wait it out until it thawed. He packed up and left (he installed a rubber coupler where he had cut the pvc), and did not charge me ANYTHING because he could not fix the problem. Wow... like another reviewer wrote, that's good old service that you really don't see much anymore. I would call him for the next job I have, no question. Honest and trustworthy, gave me a great impression. In my opinion I'd say that you can be assured that George will do a great job for a fair price. I've learned that George does not do all sorts of plumbing work, I believe he is limited to drain clearing. Too bad because I'd have him over all the time! read more

I don't write reviews. But, this guy earned it. We had a clogged drainage pipe that leads to the public sewer. Macaulay came and snaked it, which worked for about 2 weeks. The second time out, he said, don't worry about any additional payment, they were there to make sure the job got done. A second snaking yielded more roots and a second clog. Great. Not 3 weeks later, yet another clog, this time in a different place. Not only were Macaulay there in under 2hrs...he said it was related to the first call they made and wouldn't accept a check. That's old fashioned service, and I'd highly recommend them to anybody in a similar situation. read more

We had a new washing machine installed and it started backing up the first time we used it. I called Macaulay Sewer, George answered the phone and was able to come and fix it for me that day. He is extremely knowledgeable and provides great service! I can not say enough about George and his son and will continue to recommend their business. read more

I only rated one star since 0 stars wasn't an option. I had this company come to clear a blocked sewer line the day before Thanksgiving. They came that night and used a snake that came in sections and had to be assembled while the line was being cleared. The problem was the whole section had to be removed from the line before it could be disconnected. The result being the crap was flying everywhere and we had to call a professional cleaning service to clean it up. The invoice stated there was a 30 day guarantee. When the line backed up a week later, I called at 6pm and was told he would come tomorrow. Apparently sewage filling the 1st floor tub wasn't an emergency. When I said my tenants couldn't go all night and the next morning without being able to flush their toilets or take a shower he told me to "tell your tenants to stop plugging the line and show some respect. And if I have to come out again I'm going to charge you." I called Roto-Rooter, who came out that night and cleared the line (without making a mess) and the line has been fine for 3+ weeks now. I can only assume the line wasn't fully cleared to begin with. Don't call them for a sewer backup! read more
