Not every plumber works the same way, and the difference shows up fast when something goes wrong at your property. We are a locally owned plumbing team with licensed plumbers on every job, handling code-compliant work for homeowners, landlords, property managers, and commercial clients throughout Wayne and the broader Passaic County area.
We built this business here, and we back every job we do. That means the person who answers your call knows the streets, the housing stock, and the kinds of plumbing issues that come up in this area. When we show up at your door, we come prepared with the right tools and a clear plan for the work ahead.
Starting a plumbing business in 2023 was a deliberate choice. The founders saw a real gap: too many local customers were getting inconsistent service, vague pricing, and plumbers who treated Wayne like just another stop on a long route. We wanted to do better, and that commitment drives how we work on every single job. We are a local plumber homeowners rely on, and we take that seriously.
We show up ready to get to work.
From a single shutoff valve to a whole-home repipe, we have seen it all, and we are equipped to handle the full range of residential and commercial plumbing needs. Below is a breakdown of the core services we provide.
We back this work with a workmanship guarantee on every plumbing job. If something is not right, we make it right.
We're ready to get your drains running again.
Scheduling a plumber should not be a hassle. Here is what to expect when you call us.
That is the whole process. Straightforward, professional, and focused on getting your plumbing back in order.
Getting your plumbing problem handled starts with a quick call. Whether you own a single-family home in Wayne or manage a portfolio of rental properties across Passaic County, we are set up to help you.
For homeowners, that means everything from a dripping faucet to a full bathroom remodel, kitchen plumbing installation, and emergency repairs that come up without warning. We handle the everyday work and the urgent calls with the same level of care.
For landlords, property managers, and commercial clients, we understand that downtime costs money and that tenants and customers expect problems to be resolved quickly. We work around your schedule, communicate clearly throughout the job, and complete code-compliant plumbing repair and installation that holds up over time. Whether you need a plumber for a rental property, a multi-unit building, or a commercial space, we have the experience to handle it.
We also support new construction plumbing and remodel work, so if you are planning a bathroom addition, a kitchen renovation, or a larger build-out, we can be part of the project from the rough-in stage through final fixture installation.
Call us and the rest is on our team.
Good plumbing work isn't complicated, it's just done right, and getting it done right starts with actually being available when you need help. Plumbing emergencies do not follow a schedule, and we do not either.
Same-day plumbing service is available for urgent repairs throughout Wayne and the surrounding area. When you call with a burst pipe, a major leak, a sewer backup, or no hot water, you reach a real local person who knows the area and can get a licensed plumber to your property without delay.
Our emergency plumbing response covers:
Experienced plumbers. Code-compliant work. Professional service.
When something goes wrong at your property, you should not have to wait until Monday morning to get it fixed. Call us any time.
One of the most common complaints we hear from customers is that they had no idea what the final bill would look like until it was already done. We work differently. Before any work begins, we give you a clear quote that covers what needs to be done and what it will cost. If the scope changes once we are into the job, we tell you before we proceed, not after.
Affordable plumbing service does not mean cutting corners on materials or skipping steps that matter. It means doing the job correctly the first time so you are not calling us back for the same problem two weeks later. We explain the work in plain language, answer your questions, and make sure you understand exactly what you are getting.
You will also know your arrival window before we show up. We confirm the time, we communicate if anything shifts, and we treat your schedule with the same respect we would want for our own.
Affordable rates. Flexible timing. Sound pipes.

Wayne is our home base, and Passaic County is the wider territory we know well. We regularly serve customers in Clifton, Paterson, Totowa, Little Falls, Pompton Lakes, and Woodland Park, along with the neighborhoods and communities in between.
The area has a mix of older homes with cast-iron drain stacks and aging supply lines, newer construction with its own set of demands, and everything in between. That range of housing stock means our team has worked through a wide variety of plumbing situations, from lead service line replacement and frozen pipe repair in the colder months to sump pump and basement drainage work that keeps properties protected year-round.
Knowing the area matters. It shapes how we approach a job, what problems we look for, and how quickly we can respond when you need us.
We started this business in 2023 because we saw a real gap in the local market. Too many Wayne homeowners and local businesses were getting inconsistent service, vague pricing, and plumbers who treated the area like just another stop on a long route. We wanted to offer something better, and that commitment drives how we approach every job.
We are a small, locally owned operation, and that means every job matters to us personally. The people who answer your call and show up at your door are part of the same local team, not a distant office dispatching strangers. When you reach us, you reach someone who is genuinely invested in getting the job done right.
We know Wayne well, including the older residential neighborhoods with aging galvanized supply lines, cast-iron drain stacks, and clay sewer pipes that have been in the ground for decades. That local knowledge shapes how we approach a job and what problems we look for before they become bigger issues. Knowing the area is part of doing the work well here.
Work is performed by licensed plumbers on every job, residential or commercial, and we hold ourselves to code-compliant practices across the board. We are also a small operation, which means we are personally accountable for the quality of what we deliver. We built this business here, and we back every job we do.
We start by listening. When you call, we ask the right questions to understand what you are dealing with, give you a clear picture of what the work involves and what it will cost, and confirm an arrival window before we show up. We explain the work in plain language, answer your questions, and make sure you are satisfied before we leave.
We opened in 2023, which puts us at three years of serving homeowners, landlords, and businesses across Wayne and Passaic County. In that time, we have built a track record based on straightforward service, honest pricing, and plumbing work that holds up. We are proud of what we have built here and plan to keep at it.
LO Drain Cleaning is Wayne's locally owned plumbing team, ready to handle everything from a clogged drain to a full repiping job. We offer same-day plumbing service for urgent needs, 24/7 emergency response, and clear, upfront pricing on every job. Licensed plumbers handle the work, and we stand behind every job we complete.

We handle the full range of residential and commercial plumbing work in Wayne and throughout Passaic County. Whether you need a drain cleared today or a whole-home repipe planned out, our licensed plumbers show up prepared and give you straight pricing before any work begins. The table below covers what we do, who each service is built for, and a few things worth knowing before you call.
| Type of Job | What It Covers | Typical Situations | Good to Know |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sewer and Main Line Service | main line clearing and rooter, camera inspection, hydro jetting, backflow and cleanout access | properties with recurring drain backups or slow drains throughout the home | When multiple fixtures back up at once, the problem is almost always in the main line, not the individual drain. |
| Faucet and Fixture Installation | faucet replacement and repair, sink and fixture installation, shutoff valve work, supply line connection | homeowners upgrading fixtures or dealing with a dripping or leaking faucet | We install what you supply or help you choose the right fixture for the application. |
| Whole-Home Repiping | galvanized steel pipe replacement, copper and PEX installation, full supply line replacement, pressure and flow restoration | older Wayne homes with corroded galvanized pipes, discolored water, or persistent low pressure | Many homes in this area were built with galvanized supply lines that have a limited service life. We walk you through the full scope and cost before work begins. |
| Garbage Disposal Service | disposal repair and reset, full unit replacement, drain connection and testing | kitchen sink drainage problems tied to a failing or jammed disposal | A disposal that hums but does not spin usually needs a reset or a jam cleared, not a replacement. |
| Sewer Line Replacement | camera inspection and diagnosis, root intrusion clearing, damaged section repair, full line replacement including trenchless options | properties with aging clay or cast-iron sewer lines, recurring backups, or a collapsed section | Trenchless repair is available where the layout allows, reducing disruption to your yard. We stay focused on the line from the house to the connection point. |
| Sump Pump and Basement Drainage | sump pump installation and repair, floor drain service, discharge line work, basement drainage assessment | Wayne homeowners with below-grade basements at risk of flooding during wet seasons | A sump pump that fails during a nor'easter can mean significant water damage. We install and service the pump, the drain, and the lines connected to them. |
| Leak Detection and Repair | hidden pipe and water line leaks, ceiling and wall leak tracing, supply line repair, pressure-based diagnostics | anyone noticing water stains, damp walls, or unexplained water bills | Low water pressure is often the first sign of a hidden leak. We locate the source before we open anything up. |
| Emergency Plumbing | burst pipe response, major leak control, no-hot-water calls, after-hours and weekend service | any situation where waiting until the next business day would cause serious damage | Shut off the main water supply if a pipe has burst, then call us. Same-day service is available for urgent situations. |
| Water Heater Repair and ReplacementMost Popular | tank and tankless water heater repair, full unit replacement, sizing for home or light commercial use, code-compliant installation | households or businesses with no hot water or an aging unit | We diagnose before recommending replacement. If a repair will restore reliable performance, we say so. |
| Water Pressure and Shutoff Valve Repair | whole-home pressure diagnostics, pressure regulator service, shutoff valve repair and replacement, main valve assessment | homeowners with low pressure throughout the house or a valve that will not close fully | A failing pressure regulator is a common cause of low pressure in older homes and is a straightforward repair. |
| Drain Cleaning and Clog Removal | kitchen and bathroom sink drains, shower and bathtub drains, floor drains and main drain, hydro jetting and rooter service | homeowners or tenants with slow or backed-up drains | Recurring clogs often point to a deeper blockage or root intrusion in the main line. We clear the drain and tell you what we find. |
| Toilet Repair and Installation | running or leaking toilet repair, flush mechanism replacement, full toilet installation, wax ring and supply line service | homeowners dealing with a running toilet, a weak flush, or a unit that needs replacing | A running toilet can waste a significant amount of water before it becomes obvious. Early repair saves money. |
How do I know if my water heater needs to be repaired or replaced?
Age is the starting point. A tank water heater that is more than ten to twelve years old and showing problems is often a better candidate for replacement than repair. Signs like rust-colored water, a rumbling or popping sound from the tank, water pooling around the base, or inconsistent hot water all warrant a call. We diagnose the unit first and recommend repair when it makes sense. We do not push replacement when a repair will restore reliable performance.
What causes drains to clog and back up?
In kitchen drains, the most common cause is grease and food buildup that accumulates over time. In bathroom drains, it is usually hair and soap residue. When the clog is in the main line rather than a single fixture, tree root intrusion is a frequent culprit, especially in older neighborhoods where large trees have grown over decades of sewer pipe. If multiple drains in the house are slow at the same time, the problem is almost certainly in the main line.
What is the difference between a tank and a tankless water heater?
A tank water heater stores a set volume of hot water and keeps it ready at all times. A tankless unit heats water on demand as it flows through the unit, so there is no storage tank and no standby heat loss. Tankless units tend to have a longer service life and can be a good fit for households with consistent hot water demand. The right choice depends on your household size, usage patterns, and the existing gas or electrical setup. We walk you through the options and install whichever type fits your situation.
Same-Day and Emergency Availability
Urgent plumbing problems do not wait for a convenient time. Same-day service is available throughout Wayne and Passaic County, and we take after-hours and weekend calls when something cannot wait.
How are hidden leaks found and repaired?
We start with the symptoms: low water pressure, water stains on ceilings or walls, damp spots on floors, or a water meter that keeps moving when all fixtures are off. From there we use pressure testing and, where needed, additional diagnostic methods to trace the source before opening anything up. Once we confirm the location, we make a clean, targeted repair. The goal is to find the problem accurately so the repair is as minimal as possible.
How do I know if my older pipes need to be inspected or replaced?
Discolored or rust-colored water, a noticeable drop in pressure throughout the house, recurring leaks at fittings, or pipes you know are galvanized steel are all reasons to have your supply lines assessed. Many homes in Wayne and the surrounding area were built with galvanized pipe that corrodes from the inside out over time. Catching the problem before a pipe fails avoids a more disruptive repair later. We assess what you are working with and give you an honest picture of the condition.
What are the signs of a sewer or main line problem?
The clearest sign is multiple drains backing up or draining slowly at the same time. Other indicators include gurgling sounds from toilets when you run water elsewhere in the house, sewage odors near floor drains, or a main line clog that keeps coming back after clearing. In older neighborhoods with clay or cast-iron sewer lines, root intrusion and corrosion are common causes. A camera inspection of the line tells us exactly what we are dealing with.
Upfront Quotes With No Surprise Fees
We give you a clear price before any work begins, and if the scope changes mid-job, we stop and talk to you before we proceed. You know what you are paying before a wrench turns.
What does hydro jetting clear that a drain snake cannot?
A drain snake is effective at breaking through or pulling out a physical blockage. Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water to scour the interior walls of the pipe, removing grease buildup, mineral scale, and fine root strands that a snake passes through without clearing. For main lines and sewer lines with heavy buildup or recurring clogs, hydro jetting produces a cleaner result and tends to keep the line clear longer. We use the right method for the job based on what the line actually needs.
How does sump pump failure lead to basement flooding?
A sump pump collects water that accumulates in a pit below the basement floor and pumps it out through a discharge line away from the foundation. When the pump fails, whether from age, a mechanical problem, or a power outage during a storm, water that would normally be removed has nowhere to go and rises into the basement. Wayne's geography and wet Northeast winters make this a real risk for homes with below-grade basements. We install and service the pump, the pit, and the discharge line to keep the system working when it matters.
Experienced With Older and Newer Homes
We work on the full range of housing stock in this area, from century-old homes with galvanized supply lines and clay sewer pipes to newer construction with modern materials. The approach changes with the home; the standard of work does not.
Do I need to be home when the plumber arrives?
For most work, yes. A licensed plumber needs access to the affected area and, in many cases, the main shutoff and other parts of the home. If you have a property manager or another adult who can provide access and make decisions about the work, that can work as well. We confirm the arrival window before we show up so you are not waiting around without a timeframe.
How do estimates and pricing work?
When you call, we ask about the problem so we can give you an honest picture of what the work involves and what it will cost before we schedule the visit. We provide a clear quote before any work begins. If the scope changes once we are into the job, we tell you before we proceed. There are no charges added after the fact that were not discussed with you first.
When should I call a plumber instead of trying to fix it myself?
For minor issues like a slow drain that responds to a plunger or a toilet that needs a flapper replaced, a confident DIYer can often handle it. Once the problem involves supply lines, shutoff valves, water heater components, main line work, or anything behind a wall or under a floor, calling a licensed plumber is the right move. Work done incorrectly in those areas can cause water damage, code violations, or a more expensive repair down the road. If you are not sure, a quick call to describe the situation costs nothing.
Every plumbing situation is a little different, so call us at (862) 599-2239 and we will talk through what you are dealing with and give you a straight answer on what it will take to fix it.
