When your kitchen sink backs up during dinner prep or your shower drain won’t clear, you need results that last. Our hydro jetting technology doesn’t just poke a hole through the clog—it blasts away years of buildup from your pipe walls.
You’ll notice the difference immediately. Water flows fast and stays flowing. No more gurgling sounds from your toilet when you run the washing machine. No more holding your breath when you walk past the bathroom.
Most importantly, you won’t be calling us back in three weeks because the problem returned. When we clean your drains, they stay clean.
Emma Plumbing has been serving Middleborough homeowners since 2007. We started in new construction, so we understand how your plumbing system works from the ground up.
That experience matters when your main line backs up or your drains keep clogging despite your best efforts. We’ve seen every type of pipe configuration in Middleborough’s older homes and newer developments.
Our team knows the local water conditions, the common problem areas in different neighborhoods, and exactly what it takes to get your plumbing running right. When you call Emma Plumbing, you’re getting local expertise you can count on.
First, we run a camera through your drain to see exactly what we’re dealing with. No guesswork, no assumptions. We show you the problem on screen so you understand what needs to happen.
Next comes the hydro jetting. We insert a specialized nozzle that blasts high-pressure water in all directions, scouring every inch of your pipe walls. This removes grease, hair, soap buildup, and debris that regular snaking leaves behind.
Finally, we run the camera again to confirm your pipes are completely clear. You’ll see the difference for yourself—clean pipes that look almost new. The whole process typically takes 1-2 hours, and you’ll have drains that work properly for years to come.

Every drain cleaning service includes our thorough camera inspection, professional hydro jetting, and final verification that your pipes are flowing properly. You also get our 7-day warranty on drain cleaning and our 1-year labor warranty.
Middleborough’s older homes often have unique challenges—cast iron pipes that collect buildup, root intrusion from mature trees, and settling that creates low spots where debris accumulates. We’ve handled these issues countless times in neighborhoods from downtown to the newer developments off Route 105.
Our service covers everything from kitchen sinks clogged with grease to main sewer lines blocked by years of accumulation. We bring the right equipment for your specific situation, whether that’s our compact jetting unit for interior drains or our truck-mounted system for larger sewer lines.
Our drain cleaning starts at $150 for basic sink and tub drains, with hydro jetting services ranging from $300-$600 depending on the complexity of your system. We always provide upfront pricing before we start any work—no surprises or hidden fees.
The cost depends on factors like the type of drain, severity of the clog, and whether we need to access your main sewer line. Kitchen drains with heavy grease buildup typically cost more than bathroom sinks. Main line cleaning costs more but prevents backups throughout your entire house.
We offer free estimates and will explain exactly what needs to be done and why. Many Middleborough homeowners find that investing in thorough hydro jetting actually saves money by preventing recurring clogs and avoiding emergency calls.
Drain snaking pokes a hole through the clog, like drilling through a wall. Hydro jetting is like pressure washing your pipes—it removes everything from the pipe walls and leaves them clean.
Snaking might get your drain flowing again temporarily, but the buildup remains. Within weeks or months, debris catches on that remaining buildup and you’re clogged again. Hydro jetting removes the buildup entirely, so your drains stay clear much longer.
For Middleborough homes with recurring clogs, hydro jetting is usually the better long-term solution. It costs more upfront but saves you from repeated service calls and the frustration of dealing with the same problem over and over.
Most Middleborough homeowners should have their drains professionally cleaned every 1-2 years. If you’re dealing with recurring clogs, have an older home, or cook frequently, you might need service more often.
Kitchen drains that handle a lot of grease may need annual cleaning, especially if you have a garbage disposal. Main sewer lines typically need attention every 2-3 years, but this varies based on your home’s age, the number of people in your household, and local factors like tree roots.
The best approach is preventive cleaning before you have problems. It’s much easier and less expensive to maintain clear drains than to deal with emergency backups and potential water damage.
Yes, when performed by trained professionals like our team at Emma Plumbing, hydro jetting is completely safe for all types of pipes. We adjust water pressure based on your pipe material and condition.
Before we start, our camera inspection shows us exactly what we’re working with. If we see fragile or damaged pipes, we’ll recommend alternative methods or suggest repairs first. We’ve been doing this in Middleborough since 2007 and have never damaged a customer’s plumbing with proper hydro jetting.
The high-pressure water actually cleans pipes more gently than harsh chemical drain cleaners, which can corrode pipes over time. Hydro jetting uses only water, so there’s no risk of chemical damage to your plumbing system.
Middleborough’s water has moderate mineral content that contributes to buildup over time, especially when combined with soap residue and organic matter. Many homes in town also have mature trees whose roots can infiltrate older sewer lines.
Kitchen drains typically clog from grease, food particles, and soap scum. Even if you’re careful about what goes down your drain, normal cooking and dishwashing create enough buildup to cause problems over time. Bathroom drains usually clog from hair, soap, and personal care products.
The good news is that these are normal, predictable issues that respond well to professional cleaning. Regular maintenance prevents most drain problems and keeps your plumbing system running smoothly year-round.
Yes, we provide 24/7 emergency drain cleaning throughout Middleborough and surrounding areas. When your main sewer line backs up or you have standing water that won’t drain, we respond quickly to prevent water damage and health hazards.
Emergency calls typically involve main line blockages, multiple drain backups, or situations where wastewater is coming up through floor drains or toilets. These situations need immediate attention to protect your home and family’s health.
We carry emergency equipment on our trucks and can often resolve urgent drain problems the same day you call. Our emergency service includes the same thorough approach—camera inspection, proper cleaning, and verification that the problem is completely resolved.
