You get your sinks, showers, and toilets draining like new again. No more standing water in your bathroom or kitchen sink backing up during dinner prep.
Our hydro jetting technology doesn’t just poke a hole through the clog like traditional snaking. It completely clears years of buildup from your pipes, giving you months or even years before the problem comes back.
Your time matters, which is why we show up when scheduled and finish the job right the first time. Most drain cleaning takes 30 minutes to 2 hours, depending on the severity of the blockage.
We’ve been handling Somerville’s toughest drain problems since 2007. We understand the unique challenges of older plumbing systems common in this area, from cast iron pipes to tree root intrusion.
Our licensed and insured technicians know Somerville’s neighborhoods, from Davis Square to Union Square. We’ve worked in triple-deckers, condos, and single-family homes throughout the city.
You’re getting local expertise, not a national chain that treats every job the same. We know which drain problems are common on your street and how to fix them permanently.
First, we inspect your drain with a camera to see exactly what’s causing the blockage. No guessing, no trial and error. You’ll see the problem on our screen before we start any work.
Next, we clear the clog using the right method for your specific situation. For simple clogs, we might use a professional-grade snake. For stubborn buildup or grease clogs, we use high-pressure hydro jetting to blast everything clean.
Finally, we run another camera inspection to show you the drain is completely clear. You’ll see the difference on screen, and we’ll explain what caused the problem and how to prevent it from happening again.

Most drain cleaning in Somerville costs between $150-$300, depending on the location and severity of the clog. Kitchen sink clogs typically run $150-$200, while main sewer line cleaning can cost $200-$400.

Snaking pokes a hole through the clog to restore flow, but leaves buildup on your pipe walls. It’s effective for simple clogs but doesn’t prevent the problem from coming back quickly.
Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water to completely clean your pipes, removing years of grease, soap scum, and debris. It’s like power washing the inside of your pipes, giving you much longer-lasting results.
For recurring drain problems or heavy buildup, hydro jetting is usually the better long-term solution, even though it costs slightly more upfront.

The most common causes we see in Somerville are hair and soap buildup in bathroom drains, grease and food particles in kitchen sinks, and tree root intrusion in older sewer lines.
Many homes in Somerville have cast iron pipes that are 50+ years old. These pipes develop rough interior surfaces over time that catch debris more easily, leading to frequent clogs.
The best prevention is regular maintenance cleaning every 1-2 years and being careful about what goes down your drains. Avoid pouring grease down kitchen sinks and use drain screens to catch hair in showers.
We strongly recommend avoiding chemical drain cleaners. They’re highly toxic and corrosive, and they actually damage your pipes over time by eating away at the pipe material.
These products might dissolve enough debris to temporarily restore flow, but they don’t remove the main blockage. The clog usually comes back within days or weeks, and now you have damaged pipes too.
Professional drain cleaning is safer for your pipes, more effective at removing the entire blockage, and provides longer-lasting results. It’s actually more cost-effective in the long run than repeatedly buying chemicals that don’t work.
