Your kitchen sink drains completely in seconds instead of watching dirty water sit there for minutes. Your shower doesn’t flood your feet while you’re trying to get ready for work.
The smell that’s been bothering you for weeks is gone. Your basement stays dry during heavy rains because your main line actually moves water like it’s supposed to.
You stop worrying about when the next backup will happen because the problem is fixed properly, not just temporarily cleared. No more calling different companies every few months for the same issue.
Emma Plumbing And Drain Services has been helping Watertown homeowners and businesses with their plumbing needs for over 15 years. We started in new construction but shifted our focus to service and repairs because that’s where people really need help.
We know Watertown’s older pipe systems and the specific drainage challenges that come with this area’s infrastructure. From the historic homes near Coolidge Square to the newer developments, we’ve seen it all.
Our team of 5 experienced plumbers focuses on doing the job right the first time, with transparent pricing and real warranties that actually mean something.
First, we run a camera inspection to see exactly what’s causing your drain problems. No guessing, no trying random solutions. We show you what we find so you understand what needs to be done.
Then we clear the blockage using the right method for your specific situation. Sometimes that’s snaking, sometimes it’s hydro jetting, sometimes it’s something else entirely. We use what works, not what’s easiest.
After the drain is flowing properly, we test it thoroughly and clean up completely. You get a written warranty on the work, and we explain what you can do to prevent the same problem from happening again.
Ready to get started?
Every drain cleaning service includes a free camera inspection so you know exactly what you’re paying for. We use professional-grade equipment that actually removes buildup instead of just poking holes through it.
You get transparent, upfront pricing before we start any work. No surprise charges, no hidden fees, no “oh, we found something else” conversations after we’re already in your pipes.
Watertown’s older sewer infrastructure means many homes deal with recurring drain problems. Our hydro jetting service removes years of buildup from pipe walls, which is why we can offer a 7-day warranty on drain cleaning and a full year warranty on labor.
Most drain cleaning in Watertown runs between $150-$400 depending on the location and severity of the clog. A simple kitchen sink or bathroom drain typically costs $150-$250, while main sewer line cleaning runs $250-$400.
We give you the exact price upfront after our free camera inspection shows us what we’re dealing with. No hourly rates, no surprise charges, no “we’ll see what happens” pricing. You know the cost before we start any work.
The investment is usually much less than dealing with recurring clogs every few months or the damage that comes from a major backup.
Snaking pokes a hole through the clog so water can flow again, but it leaves most of the buildup stuck to your pipe walls. Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water to completely clean the inside of your pipes, removing grease, soap buildup, and debris.
For Watertown homes with older plumbing, hydro jetting usually provides much longer-lasting results. Instead of calling us back in 3-6 months, properly cleaned pipes often stay clear for years.
We use camera inspection first to determine which method will work best for your specific situation and pipe condition.
Most drain cleaning takes 1-2 hours from start to finish, including the camera inspection and testing. Simple clogs near the drain opening might take 30 minutes, while main sewer line cleaning can take 2-3 hours.
The camera inspection happens first and usually takes 15-20 minutes. This tells us exactly where the problem is and how extensive the cleaning needs to be, so we can give you an accurate time estimate.
We schedule appointments with realistic time windows and show up when we say we will. No waiting around all day wondering when the plumber will arrive.
Recurring drain backups usually mean the original problem was never fully addressed. Most companies just clear enough blockage to get water flowing again, but they leave the underlying buildup that caused the clog in the first place.
Our camera inspection identifies why your drains keep backing up, whether that’s pipe damage, root intrusion, or accumulated debris. Then we address the actual cause, not just the symptoms.
We see this frequently in Watertown’s older homes where previous drain cleaning was done without proper diagnosis. Once we clean the pipes properly, most customers don’t have the same problem again.
Yes, we provide 24/7 emergency drain cleaning throughout Watertown. Drain emergencies don’t wait for business hours, and neither do we.
Emergency calls include situations like sewage backing up into your basement, multiple drains backing up at once, or any drain problem that’s creating unsanitary conditions in your home.
We respond to emergency calls within 2 hours in most cases, often sooner. You get the same transparent pricing and quality work whether it’s 2 PM or 2 AM.
We provide a 7-day warranty on all drain cleaning services and a full 1-year warranty on labor. If the same drain backs up again within 7 days, we come back and fix it at no charge.
Our labor warranty covers any issues with the work we performed, not just the specific drain we cleaned. This level of warranty protection is possible because we use proper diagnostic equipment and address the root cause of drain problems.
Most companies in Watertown offer 30-day warranties at best. We stand behind our work because we do it right the first time using professional-grade equipment and proven methods.
