You’ll have drains that actually drain. No more watching water pool in your sink or shower. No more worrying about backups during your morning routine.
Our hydro jetting technology removes years of buildup that regular snaking can’t touch. Grease, soap scum, hair, and debris get completely cleared out – not just pushed through. You get drains that work like they should, without the recurring clogs that waste your time and money.
Most importantly, you’ll have peace of mind knowing the job was done right. Our drain cleaning comes with a 7-day warranty because we stand behind our work.
We’ve been serving Arlington homeowners since 2007. We understand the unique challenges of older New England homes – from cast iron pipes to root intrusion issues common in mature neighborhoods.
Unlike national chains that treat every call like a sales opportunity, we focus on fixing your actual problem. Our technicians live and work in the community, so our reputation matters more than a quick upsell.
We’ve built our business on transparent pricing and quality work. When you call Emma Plumbing, you’re working with licensed professionals who show up when scheduled and charge exactly what we quote.
First, we assess your drain issue with a thorough inspection. Our technicians identify the type and location of the blockage using advanced diagnostic tools, including camera inspection when needed.
Next, we choose the right clearing method. Minor clogs get handled with professional-grade snaking equipment. Stubborn blockages or buildup require our hydro jetting system – high-pressure water that scours pipe walls clean without chemicals or damage.
Finally, we test everything to ensure proper flow and provide you with maintenance tips to prevent future problems. You’ll know exactly what was done and how to keep your drains working properly. Every service comes with our 7-day warranty for complete confidence.

Our drain cleaning services handle every type of blockage Arlington homes face. Kitchen sinks clogged with grease and food debris. Bathroom drains slow from hair and soap buildup. Main sewer lines blocked by roots or decades of accumulation.
We use hydro jetting for thorough cleaning that removes buildup other methods leave behind. This eco-friendly process uses only high-pressure water – no harsh chemicals that can damage older pipes common in Arlington’s established neighborhoods.
For new customers, we include a free main sewer line camera inspection with any drain cleaning service. This shows you exactly what’s happening in your pipes and helps prevent future emergencies. It’s our way of building trust and ensuring you understand your plumbing system.
Our drain cleaning services start with upfront, transparent pricing – you’ll know the exact cost before we begin any work. Basic drain clearing typically ranges from $150-300, depending on the severity and location of the blockage.
More complex issues requiring hydro jetting or main sewer line cleaning may cost $300-600. However, we provide free estimates and never charge hidden fees or surprise charges. Our pricing includes the diagnostic work, clearing service, and post-service testing to ensure everything flows properly.
For new customers, we include a free main sewer line camera inspection with any drain cleaning service, which adds significant value to help prevent future problems.
Drain snaking uses a flexible metal cable to break through clogs and pull out debris. It’s effective for simple blockages like hair clogs or small objects, but it doesn’t clean the pipe walls. Think of it like poking a hole through the blockage.
Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water to completely scour the inside of your pipes clean. It removes grease buildup, soap scum, and years of accumulated debris that snaking leaves behind. This method actually restores your pipes closer to their original diameter.
We choose the right method based on your specific situation. For recurring clogs or slow-draining issues, hydro jetting typically provides longer-lasting results because it addresses the root cause, not just the immediate blockage.
We offer 24/7 emergency drain cleaning services throughout Arlington. For true emergencies – like sewage backups or completely blocked main lines – we typically arrive within 1-2 hours of your call.
Our emergency response focuses on stopping immediate damage and restoring basic function quickly. We carry fully equipped trucks with professional-grade equipment, so we can handle most drain emergencies on the first visit without return trips.
Same-day service is available for non-emergency situations during regular business hours. We understand that even “minor” drain problems disrupt your daily routine, so we work to accommodate your schedule and resolve issues promptly.
Our experienced technicians understand the unique challenges of Arlington’s older homes and adjust our methods accordingly. We start with camera inspection when needed to assess pipe condition before choosing the appropriate clearing method.
For older cast iron or clay pipes, we use specialized techniques and lower pressure settings to avoid damage. Our hydro jetting equipment has adjustable pressure controls, allowing us to clean effectively while protecting vulnerable pipe materials.
We’ve been working on Arlington homes since 2007 and understand which methods work best for different pipe types and ages. Our 7-day warranty on drain cleaning services demonstrates our confidence in providing safe, effective results without causing damage.
The most effective prevention starts with understanding what causes clogs in your specific situation. Kitchen drains typically clog from grease and food debris, while bathroom drains usually slow due to hair and soap buildup.
Avoid pouring grease down kitchen drains – let it solidify and throw it away instead. Use drain strainers to catch hair and debris before they enter your pipes. Run hot water after each use to help dissolve soap residue and minor buildup.
For homes with recurring issues, we recommend annual professional cleaning, especially for main sewer lines. Our maintenance services can identify potential problems before they become emergencies, saving you money and hassle in the long run.
Yes, all our drain cleaning services come with a 7-day warranty. If the same drain clogs again within seven days of our service, we’ll return to re-clear it at no additional charge.
We also provide a 1-year labor warranty on more extensive drain repairs or installations. This covers our workmanship and gives you confidence that the job was done right the first time.
Our warranty reflects our commitment to quality work and customer satisfaction. We’re not satisfied until your drains are flowing properly and you’re confident in the service you received. This approach has helped us build lasting relationships with Arlington homeowners since 2007.
