Max Flo Sewer and Drain has been handling residential and commercial plumbing work in Jefferson Valley since 1996. That is 30 years of showing up on time, doing the job right, and standing behind the work when it is done. We serve homeowners, landlords, property managers, and small business owners across Westchester County, and we have built this business one job at a time in the communities we actually live in. Our reputation in this town is the only one we have. Same-day service. Upfront pricing. Licensed plumbers.
We plumb homes and businesses every day, and we are good at it. From a routine drain cleaning to a full sewer line replacement, we handle the complete range of residential and commercial plumbing work. If something is leaking, clogged, broken, or wearing out, we can take care of it. Here is a look at what we do.
A slow or blocked drain is more than an inconvenience. Left alone, it can back up into your home or business and cause real damage. We clear clogged sinks, shower and bathtub drains, floor drains, and main drains using drain snaking and hydro jetting. Whether the problem is in a kitchen drain, a bathroom, or the main line running out of the building, we find it and clear it.
Water leaks are not always obvious. Some show up as a wet spot on the ceiling or a damp wall. Others stay hidden inside the structure and cause damage for months before anyone notices. We locate both visible and hidden leaks, repair the pipe or water line, and get the water back where it belongs. Westchester County has a lot of older housing stock, and we have plenty of experience working on the kinds of pipes that come with older homes.
No hot water is one of those problems that cannot wait. We repair and replace tank and tankless water heaters, and we respond quickly when the call is urgent. Whether you need a repair to get your existing unit running again or a full replacement with a new model, we will walk you through the options and get it handled. We keep your home dry and your water flowing.
A running toilet wastes water and adds to your bill. A dripping faucet does the same. We repair and replace toilets, faucets, sinks, showers, and bathtubs. If you are updating fixtures in a bathroom or kitchen, we handle the installation. If something is broken, we fix it or swap it out cleanly.
A sewer backup is one of the more urgent plumbing problems a property owner can face. We clear main sewer lines, diagnose backups, and use video camera inspection to see exactly what is going on inside the pipe. Where a line needs repair or replacement, we discuss the options with you before any work begins. Trenchless pipe lining is available in situations where it is the right fit. Code-compliant plumbing on every job, from a simple cleaning to a full sewer line replacement.
Beyond the core services above, we also handle:
Reach out and a plumber will follow up.
Here is what most people get wrong about their plumbing: they wait. A small drip becomes a burst pipe. A slow drain becomes a full backup. We are available around the clock, including weekends and holidays, because plumbing emergencies do not follow a schedule. Burst pipes, frozen pipes, major leaks, and no-hot-water calls are exactly the situations we are set up to handle fast. Work performed by licensed plumbers, every time, whether it is a Tuesday afternoon or two in the morning on a holiday weekend.
Property managers especially appreciate knowing they have a plumber they can reach after hours. When a tenant calls about a burst pipe or a flooded bathroom, you need someone who picks up and gets there. We do.
We pull the permit. We plumb it to code. We stand behind it.
From a single shutoff valve to a whole-home repipe, we have seen it all. We work on single-family homes, multi-family buildings, older properties with aging pipe systems, and commercial spaces. Westchester County has a wide mix of housing stock, from newer construction to homes built decades ago with galvanized steel or cast-iron plumbing that has reached the end of its useful life. We know how to work on all of it.
For property managers and commercial clients, we understand that a plumbing problem is also a business problem. Tenants need hot water. Bathrooms need to function. We work efficiently, communicate clearly, and get the job done with as little disruption as possible. This is the kind of plumbing work neighbors pass along by word of mouth, and we have earned that reputation over 30 years of showing up and doing the job right.
Give us a ring and we will take it from there.
Your time matters, so we keep the plumbing job on schedule, and we keep the pricing honest. One of the most common concerns homeowners and property managers have before calling a plumber is not knowing what the work will cost. We address that directly. Before any work begins, we tell you what we see, what it will take to fix it, and what the price will be. No-pressure estimates, priced up front.
If something unexpected comes up during the job, we stop and talk to you before moving forward. You will never open an invoice and find charges you did not agree to. We think that is the only fair way to do business, and it is how we have operated since the beginning.
One ring and we are on the way.
We started this business in Jefferson Valley in 1996. What began as a small local operation has grown into one of the most recognized plumbing names in this part of Westchester County, not through advertising alone, but through the kind of consistent, reliable work that keeps customers calling back and telling their neighbors. Three decades of that adds up.
We know the neighborhoods. We know the housing stock. We know which older streets are still running on original galvanized pipes and which subdivisions had their water lines replaced a few years back. That local knowledge matters when a plumber shows up at your door. It means less guesswork and faster answers.
We serve Jefferson Valley and the surrounding communities throughout Westchester County, including Yorktown Heights, Shrub Oak, Mohegan Lake, Cortlandt Manor, Croton-on-Hudson, Peekskill, and Ossining.

Every job is priced upfront, performed by licensed plumbers, and built to code. The table below covers what we do, who each service fits best, and a few practical things worth knowing before you call.
| Plumbing Service | What It Covers | Best For | Good to Know |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sump Pump & Basement Drainage |
| Westchester County homeowners with wet basements, a failing pump, or a pump that runs constantly | A pump that runs but cannot keep up is often undersized or has a blocked discharge line. We check both. |
| Sewer & Main Line Service |
| Properties with slow drains throughout the house or recurring main line backups | Camera inspection lets us see exactly what is in the line before recommending any repair approach. |
| Leak Detection & Repair |
| Anyone with unexplained water damage, high water bills, or a leak they cannot locate | We locate the source before any repair work begins so the fix addresses the actual problem. |
| Emergency Plumbing |
| Any situation where water is actively damaging the property or a critical system has failed | Shut off the main supply first, then call us. We respond quickly and arrive ready to make the repair. |
| Faucet & Fixture Installation |
| Homeowners upgrading fixtures or dealing with persistent drips and leaks at the faucet | We handle the full installation including supply connections, not just the swap of the visible fixture. |
| Toilet Repair & Installation |
| Homeowners dealing with a constantly running, leaking, or non-flushing toilet | A running toilet can waste hundreds of gallons a day. Most repairs are straightforward and fast. |
| Garbage Disposal Service |
| Homeowners with a disposal that hums but does not spin, leaks at the base, or has stopped working entirely | We check the drain connection at the same time to make sure the new unit does not inherit an existing clog. |
| Water Heater Repair & Replacement |
| Homeowners with no hot water, inconsistent temperatures, or an aging unit past its service life | We diagnose before recommending replacement. If repair makes sense, that is what we quote. |
| Whole-Home Repiping |
| Owners of older Westchester County homes with corroded galvanized pipe, chronic low pressure, or rust-tinged water | Patching one section of badly corroded pipe shifts the problem to the next weak spot. A repipe solves it once. |
| Sewer Line Replacement |
| Properties with aging clay or cast-iron sewer laterals showing root intrusion, joint separation, or repeated backups | We pull the permit and plumb to code. Work does not begin until you have seen the camera footage and agreed to the plan. |
| Water Pressure & Shutoff Valve Repair |
| Homeowners with low pressure throughout the home or a shutoff valve that will not close fully | Low pressure can signal a corroded pipe system in older homes. We assess the full picture. |
| Drain Cleaning & Clog Removal |
| Homeowners, landlords, and commercial accounts with slow or backed-up drains | A drain that clogs repeatedly may need a camera inspection to find the root cause, not just another clearing. |
| Cast-Iron Drain Stack Replacement |
| Owners of mid-century or older homes where the interior vertical drain system has corroded or cracked | A failing stack affects every fixture in the home. Replacement restores drainage throughout and is permitted work. |
How do we know if a water heater needs to be replaced or just repaired?
We diagnose the unit when we arrive. A failed heating element, a faulty thermostat, or sediment buildup are often repairable. If the tank itself is corroded, if the unit is past its expected service life, or if repair costs approach what a new unit would cost, we walk you through the replacement options and let you decide. We do not push replacement when a repair is the right answer.
What causes a drain to keep clogging even after it has been cleared?
A drain that backs up repeatedly is usually telling you something beyond a surface blockage. It could be grease buildup deeper in the line, tree root intrusion, a joint that has shifted, or pipe that has deteriorated to the point where debris catches on the rough interior. We can run a camera to see exactly what is happening and recommend a fix that holds rather than another temporary clearing.
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 around the clock. A tankless unit heats water on demand as it flows through, which means no storage tank and no standby heat loss. Tankless units typically have a longer service life and can be a good fit for households with consistent hot water demand. We handle both types and can talk through which makes sense for your home and usage.
Same-Day and Emergency Availability
We offer same-day scheduling for routine calls and respond quickly to emergencies including burst pipes, major leaks, and no-hot-water situations. Weekend availability means you are not stuck waiting until Monday for a problem that cannot wait.
How do we find a leak that is not visible?
We start by checking the most likely sources: supply line connections, shutoff valves, and fixture fittings. For leaks that are not at an obvious point, we use pressure testing to isolate which section of pipe is losing pressure. Underground leaks can often be traced the same way. Once we know where the problem is, we explain the repair clearly before any work begins.
Do older homes in the area need to be repiped?
Not every older home needs a full repipe, but galvanized steel pipe has a finite service life, and many homes in Westchester County that were built in the mid-twentieth century or earlier are carrying pipe systems that are well past it. The signs are chronic low water pressure, water that runs rust-tinged or discolored, and leaks that keep appearing at different points in the system. When those symptoms show up together, a repipe is usually the right answer because patching one section just moves the problem to the next weak spot.
What are the signs of a sewer or main line problem?
The most common signs are slow drains in multiple fixtures at the same time, a main line that backs up repeatedly, sewage odors in the yard or near floor drains, and gurgling sounds from drains when another fixture is running. Any of those patterns is worth a call. We can run a camera to see exactly what is in the line before recommending any repair.
Upfront Quotes With No Surprise Fees
You know the cost before we pick up a wrench. If the scope changes once we are on the job, we stop and talk to you first. Nothing goes on the invoice that you did not agree to.
Is plumbing work permitted and inspected?
For jobs that require a permit under local code, we pull it. That includes sewer line replacement, repiping, and water heater installations where the code calls for it. Permitted work is inspected by the local authority, which protects you as the property owner and ensures the work meets current code. We do not skip the permit step to save time.
What causes low water pressure throughout the home?
Low pressure that affects the whole house rather than a single fixture usually points to a supply-side issue. In older homes with galvanized pipe, corrosion builds up on the inside of the pipe over decades and gradually reduces the effective diameter. A failing pressure regulator can also drop system pressure. We assess the full picture rather than guessing at the cause.
Experienced With Older and Newer Homes
We work on the full range of housing stock in this area, from mid-century homes with aging galvanized pipe and clay sewer laterals to newer construction with modern systems. The approach is the same: find the problem, explain it clearly, and fix it right.
What should we do right now if a pipe bursts?
Shut off the main water supply to the home immediately. The shutoff is typically near the water meter or where the main line enters the building. Once the water is off, call us. We respond quickly, arrive ready to make the repair, and do not leave until the problem is resolved and the pipe is holding.
How does pricing work, and will the estimate change after the plumber arrives?
We give you a price before any work begins, and that number does not change unless the scope of the work changes. If we open a wall or run a camera and find something unexpected, we stop and talk to you before going further. You will not see a charge on your invoice that you did not agree to in advance.
What causes a sump pump to fail, and how do we know ours is in trouble?
The most common signs are a pump that does not run when water enters the pit, a pump that runs constantly without keeping up, and a pump that hums but does not move water. Float switch failure, a blocked discharge line, or a unit that is simply undersized for the volume of groundwater are all common causes. We diagnose the problem and get the right unit in place before the next storm arrives.
Call (914) 556-1524 and we will talk through the job, give you honest pricing, and get you scheduled.
