Sofia serviced our hot water heater and she did an excellent job. She took the time to share with me pictures of the various filters. It definitely needed service

Ken has been my technician a couple of times now. He’s always on time, friendly, and extremely knowledgeable. He always fixes the problem and gives us proper estimates and options for moving forward.

Had connected with Garon T through Angie’s in spring. Did good Job then. This time, needed an outdoor line blown out and some plumbing inside fixed. Ken was plumber this time. A very personable guy, and a terrific plumber. We had a few plumbers over the years who checked a problem but could not figure out how to fix a faulty faucet on a tub. Ken figured it out in literally 15 seconds, he ordered the parts while still at our house and we were able to make an appointment to get it fixed. He also explained Garon Ts annual service agreement, which is a great deal. we took it. Ken returned with the parts, fixed the tub faucet and then addressed a problem with boiler that Keith shutting down. He identified the problem but as we discussed the age if both the boiler and water heater I saw it would be wider to replace the system. Again, Ken expedited the details and worked up an estimate. Really the best plumber we’ve had in our homes.

Jordan did a complete inspection of our heating system. Furnace, duct work and gas line. Explained everything to me very clearly. He did a great job

This time Garon T sent out Ken to help with removing a kitchen sink and installing a new one. He was great. I’m think Garon T is the company to call. Prompt, professional and polite.

Nick came to my rescue! He found the tiny tiny hole that was causing water on my basement floor. He also changed my whole house water filter as even with the plastic wrench supplied I could not budge it . As with all the Garon T team he was courteous, efficient and talented. Highly recommend this company and all their employees

A pervasive odor from your sink, tub, or basement floor drain isn’t something to brush off. Foul smells are often one of the first signs of a larger issue hiding in your pipes, such as a clogged drain or decaying buildup. At Garon T Plumbing, Heating, AC & Electric, we know that strange odors deserve immediate attention. That’s why we offer fast, targeted solutions like drain cleaning in Red Bank, NJ, designed to fix the source, not just the symptom.

Smells Travel Faster Than Water

Sewer gas odors, sulfur-like smells, or a musty funk rising from your drain can all point to a clogged drain, rotting debris, or even deeper line damage. It might start subtly, but the odor rarely fades on its own. Food particles, grease buildup, or soap scum can lodge in your system, especially if your home’s plumbing hasn’t had regular service. Our drain cleaning services are designed to break through the buildup and remove the root cause of foul smells, restoring a clean and odor-free drain.

The Right Approach to the Right Problem

Every drain issue has its own source, so not every job calls for the same solution. Drain snaking works well for isolated clogs near the surface, while rooter service is more appropriate for root intrusions or heavy buildup. When we need to clear out the toughest blockages, hydro jetting offers a deep clean that can’t be matched by over-the-counter solutions. As a trusted drain cleaning company, we use the right tools for your system, not guesswork.

Don’t Wait for the Water to Rise

By the time a backup surfaces, damage may already be spreading through your system. A foul odor can point to a clogged drain or deeper issue; don’t ignore it.

You Don’t Need to See the Problem to Solve It

You don’t need visible water damage to act. Odors often signal the need for drain snaking, rooter service, or even hydro jetting. Garon T Plumbing, Heating, AC & Electric is ready to help.

Call us to schedule an appointment and stop the blockage at the source before it spreads and causes bigger problems.
