When a main line backs up on a Saturday night, this is the crew North Shore homeowners say actually answers the phone. Belfiore Home Services — the same outfit many customers still call Sewer Bros or Sewer Brothers — carries a 5-star Google profile built on 195 ratings, and the written record runs from 2022 through 2026. Chris is named as the owner in review after review, and he is usually the one picking up the call.
The work people hire them for is drains and sewer lines: clogged mains, backed-up toilets, septic outflow lines, kitchen sinks and underground gutter pipes. Customers describe electric snaking and camera-free straight diagnosis, and several say the crew traced the fault past their own house — one homeowner wrote in April 2026 that the technician found the clog was in the city's line in the street and stayed until city workers had cleared it. They also handle broader plumbing: a shower valve and cracked pipe repair, a faucet replacement, and one 2026 customer had a full bathroom added to a slab house, a job that had to coordinate sewer, plumbing and electrical work.
Speed is the single most repeated theme, and it is unusually specific. Reviewers count the gap in hours, not days: within an hour of the call, at 6am, on Christmas Eve, the day after Christmas, over Labor Day weekend, at 11am after an 8:15am call. Price comes up almost as often — a September 2025 reviewer was quoted $1,900 by another company for a clogged underground gutter pipe and paid $350 here, and a March 2026 customer put a same-day sewer snaking at $425. Named technicians recur across years — Sean and Shawn, George, Otis, Nick and Brandon — which is what a stable crew looks like rather than a churn of subcontractors.
What is worth pinning down before you book is scope and name. The reviews are dominated by drain and sewer work, so if you are hiring for a larger remodel, heating or electrical job, ask what the company self-performs. One customer in June 2026 noted the job took longer than expected, though they were satisfied with the result. And because customers write about the same owner and crew under two different business names, confirm on the invoice which entity you are contracting with.
They are the right call for an urgent drain, sewer or septic-line problem where getting someone out the same day matters, and a reasonable call for everyday plumbing repairs. Confirm the plumbing licence and insurance with the state before larger work, and get the price for the specific job in writing.
