We contacted Mike to unclog our kitchen drain and had asked him in advance via text--two days prior to the visit--to remove his shoes before working. We have a toddler, and he would need to walk through our child's play area where our son is barefoot, so this request was made for basic cleanliness and sanitation. When he arrived, his attitude was extremely poor and unfriendly. Despite the prior request, he did not remove his shoes. When we politely reminded him, he sighed and left the house without informing anyone. The job was never completed. Throughout the interaction, we were polite and courteous, and there was no justification for his behavior. This was highly unprofessional, and I would not recommend his services. read more

I'm in town visiting family and there had been a leak in the ceiling for the longest time. Decided to search for a plumber and came across Magic Drain. Michael was quick to respond to my inquiry and visited the house to check out the problem. He was very knowledgeable and explained where the leak was coming from. He answered any questions I had and came back the following day after discussing with my family. He was quick and efficient, very respectful of the property, as well. Pricing is very reasonable too! Side note.. I found out he had previously done work at my family home because he was familiar with the downstairs bathroom. He had helped with a clog and I wouldn't have thought there was any issue to begin with because he did such a good job! Highly recommended. read more

Mike was super responsive when I requested an estimated. He came the next day to perform the repair. He thoroughly explained the work he did and raised any concerns that he had about our plumbing issue long term. He was able to provide a very reasonable price for the work. I would consider using him again. read more

I got a quick reply and someone out here same day for a clogged bathtub drain. Turned out there was ice in the P trap due to some poor insulation but he went outside in the cold and corrected it for me at no additional charge. Very reasonable price and fixed a major problem for me so I would definitely use them again! read more

Mike is fantastic! Have recommended him to everyone in the neighborhood and they're all very happy. Very reasonable prices and great communication. read more

No hard copy receipt. He said he will place it in mail box. He lives in Union. Still waiting.

I contacted Michael this third time because my kitchen faucet suddenly stopped working. One minute, I was using it and the next minute there was no water coming out. It turned out that after 13 years, the faucet had just run its course. Just like the first two times I used Magic Drain, Michael responded promptly to my Yelp message and answered any questions I had prior to scheduling an appointment. He showed up in the time frame we discussed, and he was very efficient - finishing the install in approximately one hour. My new faucet is going to take some getting used to (aesthetically, I liked the old one better, and it was solid brass), but for Michael's part, I'm satisfied with the service and would hire Magic Drain again. read more

I had a few different issues going on and needed a plumber fast. My toilet was leaking pretty bad, and the pipe connecting my outdoor hose burst! A friend recommended Mike at Magic Drain. Not only did he provide me with fast and friendly service, he went above and beyond. While he was here, he answered a few random questions I had about my kitchen sink drain and changed the pipe on my bathroom sink (my old contractor installed the wrong pipe). If I have any plumbing issues in the future, I now have a trustworthy plumber I can count on. read more

I've used Magic Drain for two jobs at my house and Mike always shows up on time . Great business and would recommend highly to anyone who has a plumbing emergency. read more

Thank you for being so kind, patient & competent while helping my elderly parents with their plumbing. Amazing.

Mike was phenomenal. I had a leak in my basement pipes that had grown worse over time, and Mike asked me to text him a few pictures of the problem. He came out the same day to assess what was necessary and told me he would contact me the next day once he had the supplies to fix it (it was later in the day when he came out for the assessment). Overall, he was prompt, communicative, and very accommodating with time. Additionally, his thought towards the project and attention to detail were heavily appreciated. And most importantly of all, his pricing was incredibly fair for his time. From this point on, Mike has definitely made a repeat customer out of me for the future. read more

Highly recommended! Mike was very communicative. I messaged him and he responded immediately. He came gave me a very reasonable quote and came over right away after a job he was working on in a nearby town. Texted me when he finished and gave me an estimate on his arrival to which he arrived early! I can't say enough good things about this guy. Call him! read more

Mike the plumber was great! Prompt service. Great communication. Reasonable price. Would call again

Very good experience with this company. I had a not so major job and had another company take my info and waited 5 days, actually I'm still waiting. Found magic drain and Mike C. The guy responded really quick and accommodated my schedule perfectly. Got the job done in almost no time at all, price was as quoted and zero issues. read more

Mike was not only prompt? He was a few min.s early. He got right to work and once started he working, he was engaging and friendly. Pricing was fair & he was very direct about it,which I greatly appreciated. Just an overall nice young man with a great work ethic. read more

Went above and beyond to clear a clog in our main line. Fair pricing and would Def recommend !

After getting the run around from a few other plumbers, Mike answered right away, asked me to text details as he was driving and had two other jobs to complete first. He showed up very quickly two hours later and resolved all my issues in one visit. He was able to diagnose and resolve a drain issue in my garage with a sump pump and he replaced my ancient leaking laundry sink with a new one. I'm very grateful for his prompt and thorough help! read more

Mike , is the best,he is professional, reliable and reasonable . I have recomme ded his service's to friends and family .

I used Magic Drain on two separate occasions. Mike came for a free estimate each time. He is very knowledgeable and pointed out defects of plumbing for the house. He suggested the most cost effective method of making the repairs. First job was 4/20/2020, I was expecting a delivery of a fridge which required a shutoff valve to be installed on the water line. Mike gave an estimate and completed the job same day. Mike also educated me on where the line attaches to and where the main shutoff is in case there are future issues. Second job was 8/26/2020, my kitchen drain was clogged/slow. He gave a quick estimate and completed it next day. He was careful to catch any water and brought a mat to prevent any damage or skills. Highly recommended! He also runs a junk removal company I've used recently. read more

I used Magic Drain for a major clog in my toilet. Unfortunately my 2 yr old unloaded a box of crayons and tried to unsuccessfully flush it. This resulted in the toilet to overflow. It was late Friday evening and I reached out to a number of vendors via Yelp. Mike from Magic Drain responded within moments. Fortunately the water receded and thought it would be best to have Mike stop by the following morning. He did a great job. He had to remove the toilet and dig out all of the crayons. Was a tedious job but Mike was thorough. He fixed the issue. I also asked if he could remove my garbage disposal while he was here and he did. Sounds easy but it involved repiping. Mike had all the parts he needed and got that job done as well. I would not only recommend Mike going forward, but I will certainly be a repeating customer. He is very professional, prompt, and does great work. A strong recommend!!! read more

We found a small leak in the basement ceiling. We called Mike and he came over right away, was extremely helpful and professional read more

Mike first came out to investigate our 1926 bathtub drain issues approximately 2 months ago. He tested many things and found a solution that ended in referral for replacement, while still improving the situation in the interim. We called him out again this past weekend with backup symptoms and he went beyond our our expectations with his troubleshooting, and also reconstructed the discharge in our main kitchen sink for a fair price and kept all charges within the quote. He is professional, punctual, and a great person to work with at a fair price. Highly recommended! read more

This guy is the real deal. He was on time, got the job done and stated his prices clearly. The work is thorough and quality. From now on, Mike will definitely be my first call when I need a plumber. read more

I reached out via Yelp about a small leak, and Mike replied right away and was able to come out within 2 hrs to take a look. His price was fair, and I hired him to do the work. The job turned out to be a little more complicated than either of us figured, but he persevered through it and completed the job perfectly. While we were working, he noticed and mentioned a gas smell in my boiler room; when I had it checked out by the gas company, it turned out he was right! I'm not sure I would have figured that out myself, and it could have turned into a serious problem! Great guy, and throughout the job looked out for my best interest to make sure I was happy. Wholeheartedly recommend! read more

Called them to fix a dipping faucet which I explained wasn't a rush. Mike requested I text photos and came over the same day. He was both friendly and professional and didn't cost me arm and a leg. The issue was fixed and repairs explained thoroughly. He even texted to follow up with me a few weeks later regarding another side conversation we had. Wouldn't hesitate to call him again. read more

Very responsive; honest and good work. Has helped us fix many drain and piping issues. I've never felt like I've had the rug pulled out from under me. read more

Guys don't look any further for your plumbing leaks. Mike knows the stuff snd does a perfect job... read more

My sump pump failed, Mike came within hours and was able to replace it. He was extremely knowledgeable and answered all of my questions. His price came to be exactly what he quoted over the phone, would highly recommend. read more

Super knowledgeable, professional, and responsive. Showed up and got to the root cause of our flooding in minutes. Highly recommend Magic Drain. read more

This company was amazing. I really appreciated my experience with them. They came out and were very knowledgeable and took time to walk me thru everything. I was very impressed. I would 1000% would use them again. read more

I had an emergency sewer water coming out from downstairs bathroom. Mike came right away after calling him Monday 8:30am. it was a stubborn clog that took him a few hours to unclog. Mike did an exceptional job to address this emergency (likely caused him to be late to his other scheduled appointments) I would highly recommend Mike, I have other major pipe issues I am waiting for when he has the time to come out and repair. Highly recommend him! He will be my plumber moving forward! read more

My bathtub drain was clogged on a Sunday morning no less. Mike responded within minutes and was at my house within the hour. His price was substantially less than several other plumbers. He did not leave until problem was resolved completely and did not charge a penny more. His work is thorough, neat and worth recommending! read more

I gotta call this guy Magic Mike b/c he not only was superb at diagnosing and snaking the drain but was professional, quick, and thorough. There is not much else to say except he knows what he is doing and does it well. I highly recommend. read more

The other reviews almost seemed too good to be true, but I took a chance and gave Magic Drain a call and I'm happy I did. We had a leaky toilet with a busted shut-off valve so had to shut off water to the whole house, leaving us without access to the shower, the other toilets, the dishwasher, and the sinks. Within about 90 minutes of our initial call, everything was repaired and the price was exactly what I had been quoted over the phone. read more

You can't ask for a better more professional plumber. I have had Mike do two jobs at my house. One was a drain clearing and another was to install a water line. He was super responsive and professional and does great work. He was able to come at short notice and his prices were incredibly reasonable. I would 100% recommend Magic Drain for any of your plumbing needs. read more

I never write reviews, but I was honestly so happy with the service I decided to leave a note. We had problem with our toilet running for awhile and had other plumbers came by to repair it. The repairs lasted a couple of months and it would break again. The last one said we needed to replace the toilet. Magic Drain came by and found a leak that was causing the issue. It was affordable and he stated that there was no need to change the toilet and if it broke again they would see why they're fix wasn't long lasting. It was great to finally find someone who could diagnose the issue and give a cost effective option. read more

The past few months have seen a backlog of Yelp reviews accumulate, but yesterday's complete satisfaction with Mike and Magic Drain has moved it to the front of the line. I write very few five-star Yelp reviews and have seen few as deserving as this. THE BACK-STORY Roughly sixty years ago an inept homeowner repair moved our kitchen sink 26" from the main waste line vertical. The horizontal pipe installed to connect these pieces was installed with zero pitch and multiple 45 degree bends. Needless to say, this travesty has been a problem for at least the past 33 years we've owned the house. Every six to ten months I've had to disassemble the drain and snake the horizontal pipe as far as I could. Returning from a business trip on Thursday, I found the sink drain almost completely clogged. Four days of various combinations of snaking and commercial drain cleaners only seemed to be making the problem worse. ENTER MAGIC DRAIN Magic Drain's Yelp reviews are so good that I only made one call. Mike answered the phone himself, provided reasonable estimates for drain cleaning and not only assured that he would be onsite the same day, but offered me a choice of time. As arranged, he arrived promptly at 4:00 and didn't waste a minute of the 2 1/2 hours he was at our home. He cleaned-up after himself and checked-and-rechecked each step of his work. Not surprisingly, the horizontal drain, connecting pieces and a significant portion of the vertical drain were compacted from years of snaking and accumulated sludge. Avoiding the need to open a wall, a small and inconspicuous area behind our kitchen cabinets was easily repaired after Mike left. This approach wasn't the easiest for Mike, but demonstrated his deep concern for customer satisfaction. The job was definitely done right, and at a very reasonable price. Magic Drain is highly recommended! read more

It started w/ a slow leak, which one day turned into a deluge, destroying sheet rock & seriously damaging my newly renovated finished basement bathroom. I reached out to Mike at Magic Drain b/c of the plethora of rave reviews. He lived up to every last one of those 5-stars. Not only did he thoroughly analyze the cause of leak by methodically ruling out potential sources, he thoroughly confirmed his suspicions before repairing offending pipe. He told me what need to be done in advance & provided a fair estimate. He did the work immediately, in an efficient but careful way. Not only is Mike a great plumber, but he's one heck of a nice guy. Who else rushes out to your home to fix a leak at MY earliest convenience??? I had a lecture until 1:30pm & Mike was at my home working by 1:45pm. I'll not only call Magic Drain again, but have already referred Mike to anyone w/ plumbing woes. read more

Timely, masked, honest, did what he said he'd do.

Had a clog in my bathroom that was causing a backup into my shower. My condo building suggested a plumber who took over 24hrs to come take a look, they over complicated the issue and wanted to charge an exorbitant amount of money. Called Magic Drain to get a 2nd opinion, Mike was here within 20 minutes on a Saturday night, snaked the shower and had the issue resolved in an hour and for a much more fair price. Would definitely use again. read more
