About Drain Wizard Plumbing
A family-owned Connecticut plumbing contractor built on professionalism, honesty, and workmanship that lasts.
Drain Wizard Plumbing was founded on a simple idea: Connecticut homeowners and businesses deserve a plumbing contractor they can trust — one that shows up on time, quotes the price before starting, and leaves the job cleaner than they found it.
We're a family-owned, P1-licensed plumbing contractor based in Hamden, serving Greater New Haven and surrounding communities. For 8+ years we've built our reputation the same way every day — one honest job at a time.
You'll notice the difference the moment we arrive. Clean truck. Uniformed technicians. Real diagnostic work before any quote. Upfront, flat-rate pricing so there are no surprises. And workmanship that stands up to the CT inspector — and to time.
At Drain Wizard Plumbing, we believe every customer deserves honest recommendations, upfront pricing, and workmanship that lasts. Whether it's a simple repair, a major plumbing project, or emergency water damage restoration, our goal is to earn your trust through professionalism, clear communication, and quality work on every job.
