Gene's Plumbing handles drain cleaning across Norfolk and the surrounding area — licensed, insured and available for emergencies.
Kitchen lines clog with grease, bathroom lines with hair and soap, and main lines with roots. The Norfolk drain gets cleared with whichever machine actually suits it, cable or hydro jet.
Every house handles drain cleaning a little differently depending on its age, and Norfolk has plenty of both old and new. The fitting, the pipe material and the way the last plumber left it all change what the right repair is.
That is why the Norfolk truck carries parts for more than one era of plumbing. The drain cleaning job gets finished on the first visit wherever it can be, because a second trip costs you a day and costs us the trust.
The order we work in, and why.
A plumber asks the questions on the phone that narrow it down, so the right parts and the right machine are already on the truck when it arrives.
A gauge goes on the system, a camera goes down the line, or the meter gets checked with everything off — whichever actually answers the question. Nobody quotes a repair on a guess.
If there is a cheaper option that will actually hold, you hear about it. If the cheap option is a patch that fails in six months, you hear that too.
Before the truck goes you see it working — the drain running, the pressure holding, the pit cycling — not just a thumbs up from the driveway.

Real reviews from real service calls.
"Water heater let go on a Sunday morning and flooded half the basement. Had someone here inside two hours, new tank in by afternoon, and he hauled the old one off. Price was what he said on the phone."
"Shower valve had been dripping for years and two other plumbers said the whole wall had to come out. These folks changed the cartridge and the valve body through the existing opening."
"Tankless unit was throwing an error code every other shower. Descaled it, replaced a sensor, walked me through the yearly flush so I can do it myself."
