Max Flo Sewer and Drain has been the go-to plumbing contractor for Jefferson Valley homeowners and businesses since 1996. We serve Jefferson Valley and the surrounding Westchester County communities with same-day availability, upfront pricing, and work performed by licensed plumbers. Whether you need a fast fix or a full installation, we show up ready to work. Same-day service. Upfront pricing. Licensed plumbers. Give us a ring and we'll take it from there.
We plumb homes and businesses every day, and we're good at it. From drain cleaning and clog removal to full fixture installation, leak detection and repair, water heater service, toilet and faucet repair, garbage disposals, sewer and main line service, and shutoff valve replacement, we handle the everyday plumbing work that keeps a property running. Residential customers, landlords, property managers, and commercial accounts all get the same attention and the same code-compliant plumbing on every job.
A slow drain, a dripping faucet, a water heater that stopped producing hot water, a shutoff valve that won't close all the way. These are the calls we take every day, and we come prepared to diagnose and fix the problem on the first visit. Work performed by licensed plumbers means the job is done right and built to last. We keep your home dry and your water flowing.
Here's what most people get wrong about their plumbing: a slow drain is not a minor inconvenience. Left alone, a partial clog becomes a full backup, and a full backup can mean water on the floor, damaged finishes, and a much bigger repair bill. We clear bathroom drains, kitchen drains, floor drains, and main sewer drains using drain snaking for standard clogs and hydro jetting for stubborn buildup, grease, and root intrusion that a snake cannot fully clear.
We work on residential and commercial drain systems. A restaurant kitchen drain, an office building floor drain, a homeowner's backed-up bathroom. The approach is the same: find the blockage, clear it completely, and leave the line flowing. This is the kind of plumbing work neighbors pass along by word of mouth, and we take that seriously. Reach out and a plumber will follow up.
Your time matters, so we keep the plumbing job on schedule, and that goes double for a no-hot-water call. We repair and replace tank water heaters and tankless water heater systems. When we arrive on a water heater call, we diagnose the problem first: a failed heating element, a corroded anode rod, a faulty thermostat, sediment buildup, or a unit that has simply reached the end of its service life. If repair is the right answer, we repair it. If replacement makes more sense, we walk you through the options and the cost before any work begins.
Tankless water heater installation is a popular upgrade for homeowners who want on-demand hot water and a longer equipment lifespan. We handle the full installation, including the supply line connections and any venting adjustments on the plumbing side. No-pressure estimates, priced up front, so you know what you're getting into before we pick up a wrench. One ring and we're on the way.
From a single shutoff valve to a whole-home repipe, we've seen it all, and that includes leaks in places that aren't obvious until the damage is already done. When you call us on a leak, we locate the source first. That might mean checking supply lines, inspecting pipe connections behind walls, or tracing an underground leak using pressure testing. Once we know where the problem is, we explain the repair clearly and get to work.
Burst pipe calls are emergencies, and we treat them that way. A burst pipe in a Jefferson Valley home during a cold snap can push a significant amount of water into walls and floors in a short time. We respond quickly, shut off the source, and make a code-compliant repair that holds. Underground leak detection, pipe leak repair, and burst pipe emergency response are all part of what we do. We pull the permit when the job calls for it, and we do not cut corners on the repair. Code-compliant plumbing on every job is not a slogan. It is how we work.
Jefferson Valley and the surrounding Westchester County communities sit on some of the oldest housing stock in the region. Homes built in the mid-twentieth century and earlier often carry original galvanized or cast-iron pipe systems that are well past their service life. Wet basements, cold winters, and aging sewer laterals create specific, recurring plumbing needs here that we know well. The three services below come up constantly in this area, and we have handled them long enough to do them efficiently and correctly.
Repiping means replacing the aging supply lines throughout a home with copper or PEX pipe. In older Westchester County homes, galvanized steel pipe corrodes from the inside out over decades. The signs show up as chronic low water pressure, discolored or rust-tinged water, and repeated leaks at different points in the system. When those symptoms appear together, a repipe is almost always the right answer, because patching one section of badly corroded pipe just shifts the problem to the next weak spot.
We assess the full system, walk you through the scope of the work, and repipe the home in a way that restores full pressure and clean water throughout. Lead service line replacement is also something we handle for older properties where the original service line from the street is still in place.
The sewer lateral is the pipe that runs from the house out to the municipal connection. In older Westchester County neighborhoods, those laterals are often clay or cast-iron, and they have been in the ground for fifty to eighty years. Tree root intrusion, joint separation, and pipe collapse are common. The symptoms are a main line that backs up repeatedly, slow drains throughout the house at the same time, or sewage odors in the yard.
We start with a sewer camera inspection so we can see exactly what we are dealing with before any digging begins. Depending on what the camera shows, we discuss trenchless repair options where the pipe condition allows, or full replacement where it does not. We pull the permit, we plumb it to code, and we stand behind the work. Cast-iron drain stack replacement is also something we handle inside the home when the interior drainage system has reached the same point.
Westchester County's terrain channels a significant amount of groundwater toward basements, and nor'easters and spring storms push that risk higher. A sump pump that fails during a heavy rain event can mean real water damage in a short window. We install, repair, and replace sump pumps, and we check the full discharge line to make sure water is being moved away from the foundation properly.
If your pump is not running, running constantly, or running but not keeping up, those are all signs worth investigating before the next storm arrives. We diagnose the problem, explain the options, and get the right unit in place. Basement drainage issues that go beyond the pump itself are also something we assess and address on the plumbing side.
If you're not sure your water pressure is where it should be, or if you need a plumber for a rental property, a small business, or a building you manage, we serve the full area. Jefferson Valley is our home base, and we regularly work in Yorktown Heights, Shrub Oak, Cortlandt Manor, Peekskill, Mahopac, and Lake Mahopac, along with other communities throughout the county.
We work with homeowners, landlords, property managers, small businesses, restaurants, and office buildings. Our reputation in this town is the only one we have. That means every job gets the same care, whether it's a single toilet repair for a homeowner or a full commercial plumbing service call for a property manager with multiple units. Reach out and a plumber will follow up.
Your time matters, so we keep the plumbing job on schedule and make the process as straightforward as possible. We offer same-day availability and respond to emergency plumbing calls 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.
Before any work begins, you know what it costs. No surprises after the job is done, no pressure to approve work you did not ask for. We pull the permit. We plumb it to code. We stand behind it. That is how we have worked in Jefferson Valley and across Westchester County for nearly thirty years, and it is not going to change. Give us a ring and we'll take it from there.
Jefferson Valley is our home base, and we regularly work throughout Westchester County, including Yorktown Heights, Shrub Oak, Mohegan Lake, Crompond, Cortlandt Manor, Peekskill, Croton-on-Hudson, and Ossining. If you are nearby and unsure whether we cover your address, just call and ask. We will give you a straight answer.
Yes. We offer same-day availability for both routine plumbing calls and emergency situations. If you call us in the morning, we will do our best to get a plumber to you that day. For burst pipes, major leaks, and no-hot-water calls, we move as fast as we can regardless of the time.
Shut off the main water supply to the home immediately. If you are not sure where the shutoff is, look near the water meter or where the main line enters the building. Once the water is off, call us at (914) 556-1524 and we will get a plumber on the way.
You call us, describe what you are dealing with, and we get a plumber scheduled. When we arrive, we look at the problem, explain what we find, and give you a price before any work begins. Once you agree to move forward, we do the work and walk you through what was done before we leave.
We price the job before we start, 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 never see a charge on your invoice that you did not agree to in advance.
For most jobs, yes. We need access to the area where the work is being done, and we walk you through the diagnosis and pricing before we begin. If you are a landlord or property manager and cannot be on site, we can coordinate with a tenant or building contact as long as someone with authority to approve the work is reachable by phone.
We cover Jefferson Valley and the surrounding Westchester County communities as part of our regular service area. If you are on the edge of that area and want to confirm, call us and we will let you know upfront whether a travel fee applies before you commit to anything.
A drain that clogs repeatedly is usually telling you something beyond a surface blockage. It could be a buildup issue deeper in the line, a root intrusion, or a 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 lasting fix rather than another temporary clear.
We do our best to work around your schedule. When you call, let us know what times work for you and we will find an appointment that fits. We also offer weekend availability for jobs that cannot wait until the workweek.

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.
