The technician was great. He was not going to stop until he determined the reason for the clog. Snaking the toilet was not successful. He removed the toilet from the base and then he cleaned the area once he completed the job. Fantastic! I have worked with Balkan before. They are 5 stars.

I was so pleased with the satisfactory work that was done at my home. It was a 2 man job and Glenn and Matt worked well together to resolve my problem. I believe you sent me 2 of your best workers. They were knowledgeable and professional, and they made sure they left the job site cleaned up. I am a very satisfied customer!!

Very professional service provided by this company and Ive been through a few plumbers unfortunately. I called in on a Sunday and they gave me a window from 1pm - 5pm, with a link that tracked the plumber when he was on the way and a picture of them as well for additional verification (amazing) Brian showed up around 2pm and got right to work and solved the issue not long after. The prices are extremely fair and I received a receipt for the services before he even left detailing what was done. The reviews dont lie for this company, would recommend a 1000 times to anyone looking for reliable, professional plumbers.

Balkan replaced my sewer and my water line this Winter. They were hardworking, although they explained almost nothing. At the end, the job was very well done, including clean-up. I would definitely hire them again in the future.

A truly great service. I used many sewer cleaning companies but I always go back to Balkan. Dont bother those 49.99$ companies. Go with the pros!!

I have used Balkan twice recently and was very very happy with them. I have never been so pleased with any repair company like I have with Balkan . they have highly professional employees. People now days do a half fast job, take your money and run , but not Balkan . Balkan employees are the best sewer and drain professionals that I have encountered in a long time. i had the pleasure of meeting David whom repaired my shower head and installed a new one in a blink of an eye. David was very polite and professional. i highly recommend Balkan Sewer and Drain Service and other plumbing needs.

I called another company that fixed my problem but the issue resurfaced in 2 days. Called them back to address but got the worst run around for about 4 days. Looked up reviews before calling the next company and stumbled on this company. I was blessed to get George, a true gentleman that clearly cares about his work, ethics and the people he serves. Very hard these days to get people that keep their word and give you the honest truth. I highly recommend George and Balkan if they have more Georges. The guy is golden, a rare breed. Thank you George for being so professional and courteous unlike what Ive recently experienced with another company. Much success to you! Thanks again! God bless!

Review 19 (2019-03-11 - Rating: 5)
I called Balkan Sewer & Drain Cleaning because I had a clogged sewer line in a 6 Family building in Long Island City. They sent Chris the next day and although it was an extremely stubborn grease clog- the grease had hardened into a brick! -, he was persistent and kept at it until he cleared the entire line - which was about 50 feet inside the house and another 20 feet from the main trap inside the house to the main sewer line in the street. Chris was extremely pleasant and professional throughout his visit. . . . due to this very positive first experience with Balkan, I contacted them again when I had a clogged sewer line in a single family rental property. This time they sent George, who brought a lot of experience to the job. He was able to unclog the interior sewer line relatively quickly - which was clogged due to the tenants throwing baby wipes and paper towels down the toilet, but then the tenant pointed out that the exterior drain located immediately behind the house was also clogged. It took George an extra hour to clear that drain of the mud and gravel that had collected there. George is always prepared for any kind of situation. He will not leave the job-site until the sewer line is cleared and functional. He comes with all of the equipment needed to do the job on the first visit - he even had back-up equipment on his truck just in case something unexpected occurs - that is Experience at Work. You can be assured when George answers the call, the job will always get done! Do not hesitate to call Balkan when you need a credible, qualified, honest company to take care of your sewer and drain issues. I would not call anyone else!

This review is written for Balkan the company but it is really about the amazing technician GEORGE who came to the rescue when we had trouble identifying where the trap was in our basement when it had been tiled over by the previous contractors. Without George’s expert analysis and professionalism I don’t know what we would have done. His passion and willingness to troubleshoot with us made the entire experience an actual joy (and I can’t believe I am writing that considering the sewage that was coming into our basement!)I felt like we got the problem but more importantly George gave me an education about the plumbing in my property and I have always said that a day without learning something new is a wasted day. Hats off to you George and I will be recommending you to other landlords in my network and if I have a sewer problem in any other property Balkan is on Speed dial and I will be requesting George. Cheerio m8!

Oh yeah, these guys are awesome. Honest, guaranteed work, no worst case scenarios, no bull. Especially George, a plumbing genius, master of his craft. He stayed till the job was done and had a great sense of humor throughout. He was patient, diligent and broke down what he was doing in a way that actually educated us about our home. A pleasure indeed.

Great customer service, very punctual and professional. Highly recommended

Review 23 (2017-07-30 - Rating: 5)
Called Balkan on Sat. 7/8 after a competitor seemed to be impatient and upset with having to come to my house( looked in basement bathroom and angrily gave me $540.00 quote to snake line only. All else was extra. Never looked at anything else). No worries, he wont be called back.Balkan sent Javed (professional, courteous, & pleasant) but as it was a weekend emergency call and my sewage trap was poorly obstructed he needed to call out a specialist. On Sun 7/9, George came on time, asked to see everything inside and out. Gave me quote, knocked out the job, and did so with a smile on his face.George reminds me of my childhood, where service with a smile was the way business was done.Balkan will always have a loyal customer in me. You also have my highest recommendations.

Ive had a chronic problem of drain clogs over the past year. The city has been doing work on my street where sand and other items are being pushed into my sewer and sanitary lines. Ive called several $49.95 services but none of them have been able to help clear the clogged lines. Theyve brought their snakes only to tell me something has collapsed or I need to dig up my pipes to see whats wrong, one person told me I probably have a tree root. I got tired of paying 49.95 for services that didnt work, and decided to reach out to George at Balkan. I am so glad I did. His experience and patience alone was worth every penny. He cleared my sewer drain in less than 10 minutes!! I am not kidding, 10 minutes.. all the nasty water smell was finally gone. In addition, he went above and beyond to look at my other lines to ensure they were operating smoothly. I am so happy George was able to address my clog in a professional manner. 10 stars!

Had a sewer backup which I figured was my main line so I looked around for a sewer cleaning company. I saw the $49 ads but also saw the overwhelming negative reviews for almost all of them so I looked past those companies. But after seeing the reviews for Balkan Sewer I decided to give them a call even though there wear not the cheapest.I called Balkan and schedule an appointment and was given quotes for the different type of blockages. I was given a 4 hour window and about an hour before that window expired I was called by the technician. The technician showed up and his name was George. He took about 20 mins diagnosing the problem before he told me what the problem seems to be and verify cost. He was very professional and detailed and ended up clearing up the drain in about 15 mins. I havent had a problem since. I would for sure use them again and would recommend them to anyone.

Review 27 (2017-01-27 - Rating: 5)
I had a major sewer backup in my home for a full week. I had four different plumbers/sewer companies come and attempt to snake it out, but none of them were able to do it. Someone recommended me George from Balkan Sewer. He came to my house and with his pressure machine cleared the blockage in about ten minutes. He was courteous, knowledgeable and actually knew what he was doing. I am grateful and appreciative to King George! Thank you!

Review 28 (2015-09-30 - Rating: 5)
Had a clogged sewer drain and upon calling to make a appointment, I received quick service to have a technician come to my home. I recommendation George as the technician plumber as he is very knowledgeable and knew what to do to get the job done. Went the extra mile to ensure the water flowed nice and clear to the main sewer line going out the house. Highly recommend.

Review 32 (2017-05-05 - Rating: 5)
I had the privilege of meeting George the day prior along with his apprentice. Not only did George identify, disect and diagnose my sewer blockage, he went above and beyond to share with me some of his preventative measures to consider for the future. This experinece was for the most part surreal. Not only are you working with a true professional who has mastered his craft but youre working with someone who is genuinely looking out for your best interest at the same time. Thank you very much King George. I truly appreciate your hardwork.

Extremely professional ...every crew working like a well oiled machine...they made it all happen as promised WHILE WORKING IN SNOWY CONDITIONS...followed through with everything as promised...started work next day.The competition called back the day after to set something up, wouldn’t have had water for 2 extra days if I didn’t use Balkan...instead of one night, wound up with a WAY better price as well...Would strongly recommend them !

I called them Monday about 7 pm someone called back within an hour & told me they are on the way about 2 hrs time frame. Unbelievable to find its a FREE service with suggestions but worth for me more then $2000 in saving because he gave his expertise to say all thing people will charge for it...but they didnt. Professionalism at the top of a kind. I tried to give them seven stars but its only allowed me 5 stars. Very Very happy to find them.

My husband and I had a plumbing problem. We called for service and George came to see what our issue was. He is extremely knowledgeable, friendly and the most honest we have ever encountered. We were reluctant and unsure who to call. We are so very lucky to have called the right place. He is HIGHLY recommended. Thank you George for your courtesy.

I called Home Serve and they sent a Balkan Sewer & Drain Cleaning plumber to my home to diagnose the problem and provide details. George came and provided professional advice and explain things I was unaware. George provided excellent professional information and I was satisfied. I recommend when you call Balkan, ask for GEORGE. Hes good .

Review 64 (2018-03-06 - Rating: 5)
Save the day George, the best plumber in the city. Fresh hair cut, shiney shoes George is on point. My drain was clodding up and backing up into my basement, I had stink water all over. Tried a few plumbers and all I hear is Let’s try a camera ! Or it might be this ! or it might be that! I’m sick of them all. George showed up and got right to the point, he snaked it and got the water flying through, something I wasn’t able to do. George is very skillful, a people person and he doesn’t mind explaining things to you as you work along the job. I recommend Balkan and George as the main plumber.
