What's the house doing?

Tap the closest match. You'll get the likely cause, how we'd treat it, and where to go next.

SYMPTOM
Slow or clogged drain
LIKELY CAUSE
Hair, soap, grease or "flushable" wipes building up in the line.
TREATMENT
We find where the clog sits, then clear it with a cable machine or hydro jetting. Free re-rod within 30 days.
NEXT STEP
Skip the chemical cleaner. It can corrode your pipes.
Treatment plan

Three steps. No surprises.

  1. 1

    Describe the symptom

    Call or text (908) 873-6686, any hour. Tell us what you're seeing. If it's an emergency, we'll walk you to the shut-off valve while we're on the way.

  2. 2

    Diagnosis on site

    We look at it ourselves, explain it in plain English, and hand you a written flat-rate price. You decide. We don't charge by the hour or for travel time.

  3. 3

    Treatment + guarantee

    We fix it, clean up, and back the parts and labor we supply for one year. If the job runs long, the price doesn't change.

Second opinions

What patients say

I couldn't be happier with the service I received from Michael and Robert. Robert came out for the initial estimate and was friendly, honest, and fair from the very beginning.

Michael did an excellent job installing our new toilet and even caught another issue that could have become a bigger problem. He explained everything clearly, got my approval, and fixed it right away.

The best part was how clean everything was when he finished. The bathroom looked perfect, and you would never know work had been done there. Great service, great communication, and great craftsmanship. Highly recommended!

Had backup and they came out in half hour on a Sunday and got the blockage resolved. They cleaned up after themselves. Very very professional people. Would recommend Plumbing Doctor to anyone

Richard Focarile · Google

Mike & Rob, very professional masters of their work from all the experience. Honest gentlemen even provided some helpful preventative information and stuff to upgrade in the future with some of my plumbing. Clean work didn’t track dirt in and out the house as most service guys can do. 5/5 Stars isn’t enough should be 10/10 Stars. I highly recommend this company. I look forward to utilizing their services again in the future.

Mike is awesome, knowledgeable, thorough and friendly! Overall great and expedient experience!

A note from the owner

Meet Mike Holt

I believe you should pay a fair price for better-than-average plumbing. That's the whole idea behind Plumbing Doctor.

I've been in this trade for more than 20 years, and I served 8 years in the military, putting the country's interest ahead of my own. I bring that same habit into your house: the job comes first, and it gets done right.

I'm a husband and the proud father of a young son. I live and work here in New Jersey, and I know it isn't easy to run a business in this state. I'm here anyway, because this is home. Thank you for the chance. I won't let you down.
