Original 718 Sewer & Drain

The Original 718 Sewer & Drain has done one thing well since 2010: clearing drains and cleaning sewers across Queens and Brooklyn. This focused specialization means you're getting a team that's seen virtually every drain configuration and blockage type in the city's aging infrastructure. Victor, the most frequently mentioned technician, routinely arrives within hours of a call and spends more time on thorough cleaning than customers expect.

The pricing model is straightforward — $225 for a standard sewer cleaning, with a 30-day guarantee if the problem recurs. Reviewers consistently describe the rates as fair, which is notable in an industry where emergency drain calls often come with inflated pricing. The team carries parts on their trucks, enabling quick fixes for related issues like toilet replacements without scheduling a follow-up visit.

The limitation is clear from the name: this is a drain and sewer company, not a full-service plumber. For leaking pipes, water heater issues, or fixture installations, you'll need a different contractor. But for drain emergencies and routine sewer maintenance — which every homeowner in the older parts of Queens and Brooklyn eventually needs — 718 delivers reliable, fairly-priced service.
