Our drain cleaning services restore proper water flow throughout your plumbing system. You’ll have peace of mind knowing the clog is completely removed, not just temporarily pushed through.
The result is a plumbing system that works the way it should, giving you one less thing to worry about in your busy life.
We’ve been serving Wayland and the MetroWest area for over 17 years. We understand the unique plumbing challenges that come with Wayland’s mix of historic homes and newer construction.
As a locally owned company, we know that Wayland residents value quality, reliability, and respect for their property. That’s why we provide upfront pricing, arrive on time, and treat your home with the same care we’d want for our own.
Our team of licensed and insured professionals has built a reputation in the community for honest service and lasting solutions.
First, we inspect your drain system using advanced camera technology to identify exactly what’s causing the blockage and where it’s located. This prevents guesswork and ensures we use the right approach.
Next, we select the most effective cleaning method for your specific situation. For minor clogs, we use professional-grade drain snakes. For stubborn blockages or years of buildup, we deploy our hydro jetting equipment that uses high-pressure water to completely clear your pipes.
Finally, we test the system to ensure water flows freely and provide you with maintenance tips to help prevent future clogs. We also offer a 7-day warranty on our drain cleaning work, so you can be confident the job is done right.

Our drain cleaning services include a thorough inspection, complete clog removal, and system testing to ensure everything works properly. We use eco-friendly hydro jetting technology that’s safe for your pipes and the environment.
Wayland’s older homes often have cast iron or clay pipes that require specialized care. Our team has experience with all pipe materials common in the area and selects cleaning methods that are effective without causing damage.
You also receive upfront pricing before we start work, so there are no surprises. Plus, we offer a free main sewer line camera inspection for new customers, helping identify potential issues before they become expensive problems.
Professional drain cleaning in Wayland typically ranges from $150 to $400, depending on the severity and location of the clog. Simple kitchen sink or bathroom drain clogs are usually on the lower end, while main sewer line issues cost more.
At Emma Plumbing, we provide upfront pricing before starting any work, so you know exactly what you’ll pay. We also offer a 10% discount on drain services when you mention our current special.
Emergency drain cleaning outside normal business hours may include additional fees, but we’ll always discuss costs with you before proceeding with the work.
Drain snaking uses a flexible cable with cutting attachments to break through clogs and pull out debris. It’s effective for most common blockages like hair, soap buildup, and small objects.
Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water streams to completely clean pipe walls, removing grease, scale, and years of accumulated buildup. It’s more thorough and lasts longer than snaking.
We recommend hydro jetting for recurring clogs, grease-heavy blockages, or as preventative maintenance. For simple, one-time clogs, snaking is often sufficient and more cost-effective.
Most Wayland homeowners benefit from professional drain cleaning every 12 to 18 months as preventative maintenance. However, this varies based on your household size, cooking habits, and the age of your plumbing.
Homes with older cast iron pipes or large families may need cleaning more frequently. If you frequently cook with grease or have long hair in the household, annual cleaning helps prevent major blockages.
Signs you need immediate cleaning include slow drains, gurgling sounds, foul odors, or water backing up. Don’t wait for a complete blockage, as this often leads to more expensive repairs.
Yes, we specialize in working with Wayland’s mix of historic and modern homes. Many properties here have cast iron, clay, or older PVC pipes that require careful handling.
We always start with a camera inspection to assess pipe condition before selecting cleaning methods. For fragile older pipes, we use gentler techniques and avoid high-pressure methods that could cause damage.

We typically arrive within 2 hours for emergency calls and come equipped with professional-grade equipment to handle most situations on the first visit. Emergency service rates apply for after-hours calls.
We provide a 7-day warranty on all drain cleaning services, plus a 1-year warranty on labor for any repairs performed during the service. If the same drain clogs again within 7 days, we’ll return at no charge.
Our warranty covers the specific drain we cleaned and the methods we used. It doesn’t cover new clogs caused by different issues or misuse, but we’ll always explain what’s covered when we complete the work.
For customers who choose our maintenance plans, we offer extended warranties and priority scheduling. This gives you additional peace of mind and helps prevent future drain problems.
