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!
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.
My bathtub and two sink where draining real slow. Thw bathrub was a jacuzzi tub too. George came in, he was really nice professional. He educated me on what the problem was and how it could be prevented in the future. He did the job quickly, efficiently and he cleaned up afterwards. I am so happy and highly recommend this company and George, you will not be disappointed.
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.
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.
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.
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.
George is amazing I had a block drain for days had a previous plumber can and failed. He George came and fixed the problem in 5 mins . He is totally awesome the company better take care of this guy he is totally amazing.
Its not very often you get get exceptional service, so when you do ,you want the world to know .This is about The Technician that rendered the service George A real professional , polite well informed a master at his craft. I watched him work from assesing the problem ,to execution ,to the complete repairs .He is simply the best.
George is a true professional. He did an excellent job for me. He explained to me the science of plumbing and how it works. I would highly recommend this company to my friends and family.
My man George to the rescue. Shoes were shinning gloves were clean and a total professional. He gave me a bottle of cold water to calm my nerves while talking me through his every step. The price is high the job was well done. Thank you George.....
George came to my home because of a problem with my sewer. He exceeded my expectation from his personality to his professional knowledge of what was my problem. I was extremely happy with his service and would recommend him to my friends and family. Thank you George!!
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.
I normally don’t give reviews for repairs, but the service I received from master plumber GEORGE was so superb that I had to write about the service and how great it was .George is the best. I would recommend this company to serve you plumbing needs. Thanks again George for your service.
Awesome service! George is a pleasure to come into my home in an emergency flooding and fix the problem and my mind at ease!Friendly and professional!!! I feel so at ease to know now who I can call when this problem arises!!! Thank you! They have no idea the peace of mind I feel right now!!!S*+t happens lol, but great realiable service is needed and thats what I received today!
George provided excellent service. Once he arrived, he went straight to work and unclogged the sewer drain quickly. He even told us what to do in order to avoid the backup again. Thx George!
Highly recommend this place. The communication was superb. The service was fantastic. And Chris handled the situation with impeccable care. Very happy I chose Balkan
The guy that came from the company name was George. He had a big smile on his face and was very polite. He solved the problem I had with my shower and I cant thank him enough. I highly recommend this company.
The service was excellent. The technician was knowledgeable, friendly, and explained everything. He cured the problem, which was not as bad as I thought , and saved me some money. I recommend this company without reservation . They will be my go to guys for any plumbing problems .
We are happy with the great attention to detail George put into solving our pipe drainage problem. Hes professional and down-to-earth which is hard to come by.
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.
George came out to service my sewer line. He was professional, informative, neat, and hilarious. Thanks Balkan and George.Great job!!!
We received an amazing job from George this afternoon when it came to our sewage issues. Definitely gave Balkan Sewer and Drain Cleaning a great rep!
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 !
Balkan thanks for the service you have provided and your worker Geroge did a amazing job men everything is up and running as brand new .
George and his teammates was on time, very professional and addressed all my concerns. I am very satisfy with their service and would recommend them .
George worked v. Hard to fix the drain which was blocked by sand. Thank you v.well.I will definitely recommend u to my friends if they need ur assistance. —Mensa
On 12/24/2018 I had flood in my basement and I called few times and some customer service person took the information and said that they will call me back when they will be able to come to my house. Still now no one even call or find out is everything ok with flood.This is how they service their neighbors
The best experience of my life I run a building managementwe had a major problem with the sewer line other companies were not able to take care of it Then came an Angel George within a few hours the problem was fixed only a Master technician could resolveWhen you want Quality of Service call Balkin
Great workers and great customer service.
The best in the business. They saved me so much time and headache by diagnosing my issue while others couldnt.
They were doing some loud drilling on my street. When I asked what they were doing since I was genuinely unsure, the responses were rude and exasperated.
Great guys
A1 service no question
Dishonest, unprofessional and false advertising.

2019-03-11I 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!

2019-11-17This 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!

2018-04-28I 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!

2020-11-27George was very friendly and educated my sister on things to watch out for to avoid future problems. He was thorough and worked to make sure the job was completed to her satisfaction. He unclogged the drain in the basement, and there hasnt been another clog.George is also a veteran. Thank you for your service!

2018-09-28I 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 .

2016-04-29Sewer backed up. I was skeptical about the Google reviews, but I felt comfortable with Balkan. I called Balkan and within 20 minutes, I received a call from George. When I heard “George” I remember the review from Diane Inez. For that moment, I was so convinced to use Balkan. He came in a timely manner. I showed to him the backed up area. He was not only thorough, but also knowledgeable. He started explaining the cause and effect of how pipes run in the house. Wow! Very professional and experience person. Excellent work and highly recommended to ask for George. GEORGE IS THE BEST

2019-10-21Ive 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!

2018-06-25I would like to say THANK YOU John from Balkan for sending George the plumber to my home! George came to my home on Saturday evening 8 pm on his day off to snake sewer line in house... he explained what was going on with the plumbing and how he would fix the issueThis sewer line was never cleaned out... ever... heavy sludge etc etc in pipe....but he prevailed and won the good fight , I looked at clock and it was past 1 am... George is a very knowledgeable professional who explained everything that needed to be accomplished prior to and during the job. You have a very dedicated individual... I never had written a review before for anyone, but I had to take the time after seeing how much effort George puts into his work...This was the best experience ever and I have already recommended Balkan (George) to family and friends....George Thank you!!!! John Thank you! Balkan Thank you! I have found the Unicorn plumber...

2020-05-06Had 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.

2018-10-12I had Balkan Sewer & Drain Cleaning at my house today to fix a few items in my bathroom. George & his assistant were both professional & completely orgainized in the diagnosis & the repair. I highly recommend this company & George for your plumbing needs.
