I recommend Smiley Drain to friends, families and neighbors. Not only did they give good service with good values, the team is very professional, on time, knowledgeable and their work ethics is exceptional. When I say the team, it starts from the lady who answers your phone call to the team who came to do the work on site. And if you have any questions and concerns before and after the job is done, they are there for you every step of the way to explain to you. I want to thank Mike, nick and the rest of the team for doing a great job on our outside sewer repair on our property.

Mike was my sewer drain plumber and he came out the first time to unclog 2 toilets and also recommended getting two new toilets. He explained everything very well and gave us prices and suggestions for new toilets so we were very prepared. He did a great job putting in our new toilet and did an excellent job - we also appreciate the plumber at the office calling us to see if he could come earlier then planned. And we will use him in the future.

We were having work done on a pipe in our basement by Lesco Plumbing(Marco & Mike). I told them that we also had a clogged drain in our upstairs bathroom. They told us we should use Smiley as it would cost less to unclog the drain. The technician from Lesco called Smiley for us and had someone to our house in less than 30 minutes. Stan was excellent and worked quickly. He coordinated with the other guys and worked out the best way for us to pay. We would use them in the future, and like Lesco, we love how they give us a picture of who is coming to the house and some background on them. As a mom at home with her young son, it makes me feel safer and secure knowing who is coming into our home.

Smiley Drain Cleaning did an amazing job for me last week. Stan and Michael came to my home to clear a stubborn kitchen drain clog, they were professional, calm and trustworthy. I highly recommend!

Carolyn Sebastian

12:58 03 Oct 22

I called Smiley Drains to inspect my main sewer line based on the recommendation received from my neighbor and the positives reviews online. Stan was very informative and answered all of my questions while he was scoping the sewer line with the camera. Luckily he found no issues and said the line was in excellent condition. He replaced the old screw in plug with a lead plug that was just tapped in place. The plug doesn’t look very secure because it’s not screwed in like the old one, but what do I know, I’m not a plumber. He assured me that it will hold in place, I hope so. I highly recommend Smiley Drains

So far so good. We had our whole house replumbed. I liked that the quote included details by room. Plumber forewarned us that many holes would be made in the drywall to reach covered pipes. All the work was completed within a day, which minimized disruption since we work from home lately. Now we just need to make our house not so holy. :)

19:02 04 Aug 22

Nick and Stan are pros! They came today and unclogged two drains within a hour. One outdoor and one in the garage. They also ran the camera to ensure it’s cleaned up. Now I can sit back and relax. I’d recommend them!

Mitch Dizon

17:13 06 Jul 22

Absolutely fantastic service! Cannot rate this company highly enough. Juan came at 8 am (same day) and cleaned out the blockage super quickly. He also cleaned the sewage that had come up and was able to give me some helpful tips for caring for my plumbing.UPDATE: Unfortunately, our sewer drain problems came back a few days later. Luckily for us, Juan was able to come back out to save the day! Not only was he able to get here quick, just like the first time, but he also was able to clean up the blockage free due to their 30 day guarantee! While here, I mentioned I wanted to get a jet cleaning of the sewer lines at some point, and he let me know he had the equipment on hand and could do it at that moment and for a reasonable price! Only a few minutes later, and he had wrapped up cleaning everything out, and definitely left me with a smile and a clean drain!

Smiley Drain Cleaning did such an amazing job a year ago for us, we called them back for additional services and specifically asked for Michael. Hands down, Michael is the best - professional, calm natured, and trustworthy.Also important to note is that no one asked me to write this review. I’m not getting a discount or a kickback. I just felt they were that good to write a glowing review. Smiley Drain is the gold standard with respect to service and quality with everything related to drain and sewer clogs.

I am not going to use anyone else in the future if I need services. Thank you Smiley Drain and Juan!

Do not hesitate to call Smiley Drain Cleaning for a drainage inspection & repairs, or any of your plumbing needs. I found his company after reading the great reviews and was in serious need for immediate help. Our home had been under extensive renovations for over a year, and with a couple of weeks left before we moved in, found out out sewer line was completely blocked. After going through a different plumber, who was unable to dislodge the blockage or provide accurate information on our line, we decide to hire Smiley Drain Cleaning.Michael came out the next day to with his team and video, he provided us with a reasonable quote to install a proper clean-out for the main line in our backyard (huge plus for future needs) and have a hydro jetting professional come with better equipment for the job. Michael warned us that this may uncover a serious and costly $$$$ problem if it was a broken connection to the main line, but best case would be he can clear it with the hydro jet machine.The following Monday he was onsite to do the work and within a couple of hours, had dug the hole, replaced the pipe and was successful in clearing the blockage of roots. My family and I are able to move on with our final inspections and move in to our new home without delays. Michael saved our project, and my relief and happiness was overwhelming. I can't thank Michael and his team of professionals at Smiley Drain enough for their great work! We will continue to use them for maintenance and any future drainage needs.

Dawn Morales

Showed up on time, provided clear and precise instructions during the hydro jetting process and was able to confirm issues/clog in the line. The drain cleaning process was a breeze! I live in a residential home in Clifton, New Jersey and they were here within 2 hours! Thank You Smiley Drain Cleaning, will highly recommend your company.

Smiley Drain Cleaning had a quick response time to my call for clogged drain. Michael did a fantastic job working quickly and took the time to explain how the sewer system worked. He cleaned a clogged main sewage line and made sure it was fully working when finished. After the hydro-jetting service he even inspected the sewer line and we were totally satisfied with the service and attention to detail! Great company will use again!

Helen Black

I called for emergency service (clogged sewer line) at 6 PM and a serviceman was at my door within the hour The serviceman (Stan) was top notch and he resolved my issue quite quickly. Everyone I dealt with at Smiley was friendly and professional. Without a doubt, I give them 5 stars and would strongly recommend them to anyone. Special thanks to Stan who not only resolved my issue but was quite friendly and welcoming of my many questions. Thanks again to all at Smiley Drain Cleaning!!

Juan serviced our washing machine drain today. He was professional and left the area clean. I highly recommend Juan and Smiley Drain Cleaning.

23:41 16 May 22

Mr.Juan J. J. was a absolute delight. Very professional. Prior to starting he went over the estimate and price. As he began the job he made sure that whatever I didn’t know to move out if his way earlier , that he cleared it out in a organized way. I didn’t expect him to move anything as that really is not his job but he moved small items with care. The job then needed to be viewed in a secondary location. We went there and he patiently helped me clear out a small space so he could work. Nothing that had to be moved was large but once again I strongly felt he was going beyond the duties of the job to move anything at all. I would of cleaned out prior if I knew he needed that space I was very grateful that instead of saying no he couldn’t get access and just leave, that he did everything he could to get access. He was very friendly and wore a mask the entire time. He was able to finish the job and made sure that I saw the work was done and the tub was now draining. He was also able to show me some things that were broken and need further repair. He did not push me to use Smiley Drain. He explained to me the other services Smiley Drain offers. As a female widow, it is rare to find a contractor that really breaks things down and explains things. that alone was amazing. It was wonderful to be talked to and not talked down. I cannot wait to hire Smiley Drain for the other items that need to be fixed. Though Mr. Juan said that is not his specialty I feel good to hire Smiley Drain again because Juan showed me such excellent customer service. If you need your clogs cleared I highly recommend this company and specifically Mr. Juan. Thank you for excellent service and a working shower !!!At the end of the job. Mr. Juan cleaned up his tools and small items that were cleaned out. He contacted his office telling them I will be paying in cash and didn’t leave till i got a receipt. Once again this is amazing first class service. Thank you again.* I own a home in clifton which is a area of service for smokey drain.

I called this company to clean my drain. They did a wonderful job and solved the problem quickly. My drain lines were clogging up badly during some rainstorms. I called Smiley Drain Cleaning, and Michael quoted me a good price, then came out the same day to fix the lines. He was very knowledgeable and friendly. He actually found out that I needed the full clean out but it was done quickly, and he was honest. The hydro jetting service worked very well clearing our the main line to almost "like new" condition. I will definitely call Smiley Drain for any future plumbing or sewer cleaning needs.

Karen Ramos

17:13 10 May 22

Our kitchen sink drain was badly clogged so we called Smiley Drain Cleaning and they were able to send someone out within a couple hours. Mike was an excellent plumber, very professional, and didn't give up on the tough clog until he had fixed it, even though it meant taking apart the pipes a few times. Saved us from having to drill into the concrete! Would definitely recommend this company for hydro-jetting services to anyone that needs drain repairs!

Mike was extremely responsive and managed to get a van out despite the short notice. Stan managed to diagnose the issue with a root in the sewer line and remediated using a jetter within an hour. He showed us the issue and the healthy sewer line post remediation using a camera. While others pitched for an expensive sewer line replacement, Stan took the initiative to resolve an otherwise healthy sewer line with minimal intrusion, overhead, and cost. Would definitely have them in my contacts for any future plumbing needs!

Cleared a sewer line blockage in order to run a camera into the line to determine the location of the actual cause of the blockage and what would be required to correct the problem.Excellent Service. Mike and his helper were true professionals. They called in advance as the said they would. They arrived within in the time frame that was quoted. (I live in Clifton) I was able to ask questions about the work before they started work and they explained what they were doing and more importantly why they were doing it. This made me feel very comfortable with the work they were doing, which help me understand the situation better. Once the blockage had been removed, they showed us the camera images so we could actually see what the problem they were referring to and better understand what was needed to correct the problem. Michael provided a detailed invoice of the problem and what would be required to fix the problem. The office is forwarding a pdf of the images from the camera for our files, which will be needed for the repairs. If you have plumbing issues, I highly recommend Smiley Drain Cleaning! Great company!

Showed up promptly, clearly explained how he would do the job, completed very efficiently, checked and validated no leaks in my presence and cleaned the place leaving it as good as he found it.

Within one hour of a frantic phone call, two friendly Smiley Drain Cleaning techs were at my door. Not only did they quickly and IMMACULATELY solve my very gross problem, they made sure I was informed of all options, starting from the least expensive to the potentially more expensive solutions. They were confident they could resolve the issue using the more price friendly manner, but I decided to choose the hydro-jetting service. Within minutes, clog was gone, they actually cleaned my toilet with antiseptic cleaning solution, and were on their way. My drains are flowing freely and they seem to be much faster than before! Which is great.The techs were outstanding, professional, friendly, and immaculate. Will most definitely use this service again and highly recommend!

On Sunday, we suddenly had a clogged drain and an overflowing shower stall with water running into a bedroom. Smiley responded within 10 minutes to my phone call and then had a technician out to us in less than an hour. Stan was excellent, knowledgeable, efficient, professional, and calm. He took care of the problem and got a very clogged main drain that ran out from the house cleared quickly! He solved the problem! He also was honest, and did not take advantage of us when we asked about another pipe. He checked the water flow and said it was fine. Stan was the man! Thank you! And thank you to Mike who quickly sent Stan our way.

Our old house had drainage problems in the bathtub and kitchen sink. Juan came and unclog as much as he could. He said I had a plumbing problem and needed to replace a trap and the main pipe. He took the photos and send them to Lesco Plumbing. I got the estimates and they (Juan from Smiley and Jon from Lesco) came and got the job done. They are very professional. Smiley Drain and Lesco Plumbing work together. It was very CONVENIENT for me to hire them and get the job done.

From the moment I picked up the phone to when our technician left the house I had a wonderful experience with Smiley.

I called Lesco to replace my water softener. Within one day, there were at my house to give me an estimate. I accepted the estimate and the water softener and whole-house filter were installed the next day. I was very pleased with the professionalism, courtesy and speed of the service. I will call on Lesco again for my plumbing needs.

Thomas and Stan came to unclog my main sewer pipe that was blocked by tree roots. They were very thorough and showed me exactly where the issue was and explained how they were going to fix it. After the job, they showed me everything was clear and explained what my next steps are to prevent the tree roots from happening in the future. I appreciate their transparency, professionalism, and efficiency. I will definitely use Smiley Drain Cleaning in the future!

We had a clogged drain pipe and called for service. The representative that answered my phone call was very helpful and gave me a time window that the tech would be there. Stan showed up right on time and was able to unclog the drain. Stan was very professional and made sure everything was clean when he was finished.

I recently moved into my new house and had a large number of tree roots clogging up the pipes going into the sewers. Thomas and Juan arrived on time and did an AMAZING job clearing out the roots with a hydro jet flush. And way faster than I thought imaginable. I would definitely recommend their services to anyone in the area. Thank you, Tom & Juan!

I had a stoppage in my main sewer line, causing sewage to back up into my garage, and Smiley was able to come out earlier than I expected, which was great. Thomas came out first and fixed the clog quickly and professionally. He also ran a camera to confirm I needed a water jet cleaning. Smiley was able to schedule another appointment right away the next day. When Thomas and Johnathan came back the next day, they jetted the sewer line and solved the issue for good! They were both very friendly, explained the entire process very thoroughly, showed me my options and ultimately fixed everything at a very reasonable price. I highly recommend Smiley Drain if you have any plumbing needs!

First time customers of Smiley Drain and we couldn't be more pleased. Our technician Tom Tufaro deserves recognition for being the absolute best service technician we've ever had the pleasure of working with. He is friendly, courtesy, professional and expertly zeroed in on an almost undetectable blockage. After giving a detailed explanation of the remedy, he quoted us a very fair price and immediately got to work. We highly recommend Smiley Drain for their prompt response, attention to detail and the courtesy of following Covid-19 protocol. Our thanks, appreciation and gratitude go out to Tom.Best regards

I live in West Orange and needed a good drain cleaning company to unclog my main sewer drain. We have been noticing that are drains weren't flowing as they should. But sadly this morning we woke up to none of our dreams working. The toilets would not flush, the kitchen sinks would not drain, the shower and bathtub did not work. I knew I had an emergency service so after doing some research online and searching for drain cleaning near me I came across Smiley Drain.They had excellent reviews and I could tell that the clients seem genuinely happy. So after a quick phone call I had a technician out later on same day. Michael was our plumber and he was knowledgeable friendly and professional. After doing a video inspection I discovered we had tree roots growing in our sewer. Thankfully their trucks are stocked up and had a rooter machine that would cut the tree roots in clear my drain. I am also having this company come out later on next week and use the hydro jetting machine just as an extra precaution. I highly recommend this company if you have any type of clogged pipes they are the best!

We have been having problems with our drains for quite some time inside our home and West Orange, New Jersey. One day is all just stopped! I knew I needed them plumber or drain technician out ASAP. I read many reviews from all the drain cleaning companies near me and around the surrounding areas and I was really impressed with Smiley drains reviews. I called them and they came out the same day because it was an emergency. The technician Michael was a pleasure to be around kept my home clean and used covid safety precautions. Which I'm grateful for because I have a older parent that lives in our home.He was out in about 45 minutes and our drains were cleared in flowing perfectly. Everyone that I communicated with at this company was a pleasure to be around and always looking for a way to help. I recommend the hydro jetting Services because that's what I used and I can tell you for a fact it's amazing! We highly recommend the team here and we will be referring our family and friends anyone that has sewer or drain clogs or issues.

I previously called a different Rooter company and they were not able to clear the line. Smiley Drain knew exactly what to do and they are very professional and knowledgeable.

Very quick, courteous and accommodating. Right from the start, the phone call was informative and to the point. Was able to send someone same day for service. Alex came out and explained what might be the problem. I had to take apart some of my retaining wall to access the leader drain and he helped me do that even though that wasn’t part of the scope. He helped with dismantling the leader, and we found the clog was actually right there and not the drain. So he said because he didn’t have to get the big hydro jet and inspection camera out, it would be a regular simple drain clog price. Happy to work with Alex and this company. Price would have been on the high side if my drain would have been clogged but they have the knowledge, experience and tools to get it done and their digital system made things much easier and more efficient too. I would use them in the future.

Alex from Smiley Drain Came and unclogged our shower. He said it would be 20 to 30 minutes but he did it in like 15. Very quick and efficient and had some good tips for how to prevent clogs in the future. Would definitely recommend using Smiley Drain !

I had a kitchen drain that was clogged. Tried snaking for 50 feet and did not help. Reached out to Smiley and they recommended Hydro jetting. They sent an estimate which was the market price. The front desk was responsive and easy to set up an appointment. The technician Darren came on time and reacted quickly . As the charge increases every 15 min after the 1st hour, the technician was quick enough to fix the issue within the first hour. He took necessary precaution to ensure the place is left clean inspite if so much grease that came out. He sprayed extra cleaning solution and cleaned the cabinets. The clog was removed. Extremely happy with the service.

I called Smiley to snake out a clogged leader drain in the front of my house. They sent Darren who was very professional and discussed the job with me. Darren suggested using a power jet instead of a metal snake. What he said to me made total sense. While jetting the line, Darren noticed that an adjoining leader drain was backing up. Darren worked on that line too without raising his price. I really appreciate the work Smiley did, and Darren was knowledgeable and did a great job. I would highly recommend Smiley Drain Cleaning for any clogged drains you may have.

Smiley drain is a great company to deal with. They are responsive, professional and on time! The two technicians dispatched, explained everything they were doing as they went and did it with a pleasant and friendly demeanor ( not always the case in the service industry) They worked tirelessly and it was a huge job as the underground wastelines were not only clogged but broken and sunken into the ground 😩I highly recommend this company with absolutely no reservations and if you’re lucky enough to get Darren as your tech , that’s an added bonus!

We had our main sewer line clogged and backing up badly. I called Smiley and they came out the same day within 2 hours! Darren came and explained everything thoroughly. He ran a camera with the hydro jet system down the main sewer line and cleared out all the blockages. Furthermore, he cleaned up after he was done and asked if I had any questions at all. I definitely recommend Smiley Drain and Darren!

Been having an issue with Main Drain backup for 2 years now since moving into home. Had it unclogged 4-5 times. After getting what seemed to be the run around with other companies, tried Smiley Drain. Mike came by to hear me out and recommended the Jet so two engineers came by to clear the drain problem. Issue was cleared within the hour, however they required more time and would come back to do a thorough clean of the drain and inspection with camera. Darren came back and finished the process of jetting the remainder of the grime out of the line into the sewer. During the course of the inspection, he re-examined a dip in the pipe that was found and suggested two solutions to correct this type of problem. He will follow-up with Mike who will reach out. Overall I feel that everyone including Darren was honest, professional and feel that I was well taken care of. Response time was very good and wish I did not waist my time looking elsewhere first. Prices are very reasonable and Guarantee is a plus.Highly recommended. Thanks Smiley Drain

My basement bathroom was completely backed up so I got on line and started to research plumbers and Smiley Drain was highly recommended. I figured I’d give them a shot. I filled out the online form and sure enough they contacted me and set up my appointment between 2-4PM. Sure enough their technician Darren Olech came at 3 and was very friendly and explained to me everything that was going on. He was very professional used all the protective equipment needed and explained step by step what the issue was and MOST IMPORTANTLY FIXES THE PROBLEM! Great job Darren and thanks again for coming through in the clutch. I highly recommend Smiley Drain plumbing and really want to give all props to Darren. You guys have a great technician over there.

Smiley Drain was a good bet. I had a backed up sewer line and was in a complete panic. They quickly diagnosed the issue (roots in line) and went right to work. I was sure this was going to break the bank but I was wrong. They Hydro Jetted the line and sent down a camera to be sure the issue was resolved. My line line cleared and I was back in business. Best of all, I didn't flush my savings down the drain. I totally recommend these guys.

DARREN was the plumber assigned to assist us with the unclogging of our drain. When a simple snaking was not effective, he suggested another option of having the line blown out. He did that successfully and cleared the line. He was friendly, efficient, and polite. He was knowledgeable and competent.

Susan Bell

18:10 05 Mar 20

I am incredibly happy with Smiley Drain! I can’t express my gratitude and appreciation enough for the professional and courteous service provided. The toilet clogged again 2 days after unclogging.
