No more standing water in your kitchen sink. No more shower drains that barely gurgle. No more that sewer smell creeping up from the basement floor drain.
When we finish cleaning your drains, water flows the way it’s supposed to. Fast. Clean. Without the backup anxiety every time you run the dishwasher or take a long shower.
You get back to your normal routine without worrying about what’s building up in your pipes. That’s what proper drain cleaning does—it gives you one less thing to stress about in your Norwood home.
We’ve been cleaning drains in Norwood since 2007. We know how the older homes on Washington Street handle different drain cleaning methods. We understand why the kitchen and laundry drains in many Norwood houses clog together—lint from the washer meets grease from the kitchen, and you get a mess that affects both areas.
Our team has cleared thousands of drains across Norfolk County. We’ve seen what works and what doesn’t in these local plumbing systems.
When you call Emma Plumbing, you’re getting plumbers who’ve spent years learning the specific challenges Norwood homeowners face with their drains.
First, we run a camera inspection down your drain to see exactly what we’re dealing with. Hair clogs look different from grease buildup. Tree roots require a different approach than soap scum.
Next, we choose the right method. For basic clogs, we might use drain snaking. For tougher blockages or main sewer lines, we bring in hydro jetting—high-pressure water that blasts through buildup and clears everything out.
Finally, we test the flow and clean up completely. You’ll see the difference immediately when you run water down that drain. We also give you a realistic timeline for how long the cleaning should last based on what we found.

Every drain cleaning service starts with our free camera inspection to pinpoint the problem. You’ll see exactly what’s blocking your drain before we start any work.
We clear the blockage using the most effective method—whether that’s snaking, hydro jetting, or mechanical cleaning. For Norwood homes, we often see combinations of hair, soap, grease, and sometimes tree root intrusion in older sewer lines.
You get upfront pricing before we start, a 7-day warranty on the drain cleaning work, and a 1-year warranty on any parts we install. Plus, we’re available 24/7 for drain emergencies because backups don’t wait for business hours.
Most drain cleaning jobs in Norwood cost between $150 and $400, depending on the location and severity of the clog. A simple kitchen sink clog typically runs $150-200, while main sewer line cleaning can cost $300-400.
We always give you upfront pricing before starting any work. No surprises, no “diagnostic fees” that turn into much higher bills. You’ll know exactly what you’re paying before we touch your drains.
The price depends on factors like how deep the clog is, whether we need specialized equipment like hydro jetting, and if there are multiple drains affected.
Many Norwood homes have connected kitchen and laundry drains, which creates a perfect storm for clogs. Lint from the washing machine combines with grease and food particles from the kitchen sink, forming stubborn blockages that affect both areas.
Older homes in Norwood also deal with tree root intrusion in sewer lines, especially during wet seasons. The roots are drawn to the water and nutrients in your pipes, gradually growing into the system.
Hair, soap scum, and everyday debris build up over time even with careful use. Regular professional cleaning prevents these small accumulations from becoming major blockages.
Most drain cleaning jobs take 30 minutes to 2 hours, depending on the complexity of the clog. A straightforward sink or tub drain usually clears within 30-45 minutes.
Main sewer line clogs take longer—typically 1-3 hours because they require more thorough cleaning and often involve hydro jetting. We also run camera inspections to make sure we’ve completely cleared the blockage.
Emergency calls get priority scheduling. Our goal is to be at your Norwood home within 2 hours of your call, and we’ll give you a realistic time estimate once we assess the situation.
Yes, we provide 24/7 emergency drain cleaning throughout Norwood and Norfolk County. Sewage backups and complete drain blockages can’t wait until Monday morning.
Emergency service includes the same thorough cleaning process—camera inspection, proper clearing method, and cleanup. You pay emergency rates for after-hours calls, but you get the same quality work.
We keep trucks stocked with equipment for common drain emergencies, so we can handle most situations on the first visit. Our technicians are available around the clock because we know drain problems don’t follow business hours.
Drain snaking uses a flexible cable with a cutting head to break through clogs and pull out debris. It works well for hair clogs, soap buildup, and most residential blockages. Snaking is usually the first approach we try.
Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water—up to 4,000 PSI—to completely clear pipes and remove buildup from the walls. It’s more thorough than snaking and works better for grease accumulation, tree roots, and main sewer line cleaning.
We choose the method based on what our camera inspection shows. Sometimes we start with snaking and move to hydro jetting if needed. The goal is to clear your drain effectively without damaging your pipes.
Most Norwood homes benefit from annual drain cleaning, especially if you have older plumbing or large households. High-use drains like kitchen sinks and main bathrooms might need attention every 6-12 months.
If you’re dealing with recurring clogs, tree root issues, or slow drainage, more frequent cleaning prevents bigger problems. We’ll recommend a maintenance schedule based on what we find during your initial service.
Signs you need professional cleaning include slow drainage, gurgling sounds, unpleasant odors, or water backing up. Don’t wait until you have a complete blockage—preventive cleaning is much less expensive than emergency repairs.
