How to Choose a Drain and Sewer Company in New Jersey

8 questions to ask before you hire

1. Do you answer 24/7? Sewer backups don't wait for business hours.
2. Are you bonded and insured? Ask for proof, especially for excavation work.
3. Will you show me the problem? A good company uses a sewer camera and shows you the video.
4. What are my options? You should hear more than one: cleaning, repair, lining or replacement.
5. What's the price before you start? Get the scope and price agreed before work begins.
6. Do you have the right equipment? Cable machines, a hydro-jetter, a camera and line locator mean the job gets done in one visit.
7. Are you local? A local, family-run company knows the pipe types and conditions in your town.
8. What do recent reviews say? Read Google reviews for mentions of honesty, response time and cleanup.

Red flags

• Pushing full replacement without a camera inspection
• Prices that change after work starts
• No physical address or local phone number
• Pressure to decide on the spot for non-emergency work
