Your Drains Work Like They Should

You shouldn’t have to plunge your kitchen sink every week or watch water pool around your feet in the shower. When drains work properly, water disappears down the pipe where it belongs.

That’s what professional drain cleaning delivers. We use hydro jetting technology to remove the grease, hair, and debris that builds up over time. Not just punch holes through clogs, but actually clean your pipes.

The result? Drains that flow freely for months, not days. No more standing water. No more emergency calls when guests are coming over. Just reliable plumbing that works when you need it.

Solving Medford Drain Problems Since 2007

We’ve been handling drain emergencies and routine maintenance for Medford, MA homeowners for over 17 years. We’ve cleared everything from simple kitchen clogs to complex main sewer line blockages.

What makes us different is our focus on permanent solutions. We don’t just get your drain flowing again – we clean it thoroughly so problems don’t come back in a few weeks.

Medford’s mix of older homes and newer construction creates unique challenges. Tree roots from mature neighborhoods can invade sewer lines. Older cast iron pipes develop different problems than modern PVC. We know how to handle both, and everything in between.

How We Clear Your Drains Completely

We start with a video camera inspection to see exactly what’s blocking your drain. Tree roots look different from grease buildup, and each requires a different approach. No guessing – we know what we’re dealing with before we start.

Next, we choose the right cleaning method. For tough blockages, we use hydro jetting – high-pressure water that scrubs your pipes clean from the inside. For simpler clogs, traditional drain snaking might be enough.

Finally, we test everything thoroughly and show you the results. You’ll see the difference on our camera, and you’ll feel it when water flows down your drain like it should. We also explain what caused the problem and how to prevent it from happening again.

Complete Drain Solutions for Every Problem

Our drain cleaning services cover everything from bathroom sinks to main sewer lines. Kitchen drains clogged with grease. Shower drains blocked by hair and soap buildup. Floor drains that back up during heavy rain.
