You’ll have drains that actually drain. No more standing water in your shower. No more kitchen sinks that back up when you’re trying to cook dinner. No more worrying about when the next clog will hit.
That’s what professional drain cleaning gets you—drains that work the way they’re supposed to work. We use hydro jetting technology that clears everything from grease buildup to hair clogs to tree roots, leaving your pipes cleaner than they’ve been in years.
Most of our customers are shocked at how much better their drains work after we’re done. Water flows fast. Odors disappear. And those recurring clogs that kept coming back? They stay gone.
We’ve been handling drain problems in Waltham since 2007. We know this area’s plumbing challenges—from the older cast iron pipes in established neighborhoods to the mineral buildup that’s common with our local water.
We’re the plumbers who show up when we say we will. Our customers give us 4.9 stars because we do what we promise: transparent pricing, no surprise charges, and drain cleaning that actually works.
When you call us, you’re dealing with local professionals who’ve built our reputation one satisfied customer at a time. We’re not a national chain with rotating technicians. We’re your neighbors, and we plan to stay that way.
First, we diagnose the problem. We use camera inspection to see exactly what’s causing your drain issues—whether it’s grease, hair, roots, or something else entirely. No guessing, no unnecessary work.
Next, we clear the blockage using the right method for your specific situation. For tough clogs, we use hydro jetting—high-pressure water that blasts away buildup and leaves your pipes spotless. For simpler issues, traditional snaking gets the job done.
Finally, we test everything to make sure your drains are flowing properly. We’ll show you the difference, explain what we found, and give you tips to keep your drains working well between service calls.

Professional drain cleaning in Waltham means more than just clearing the immediate clog. You get hydro jetting that removes years of buildup, camera inspections that show you exactly what’s happening in your pipes, and service that comes with real warranties.
Waltham’s older infrastructure presents unique challenges. Many homes here have cast iron or galvanized steel pipes that accumulate mineral deposits over decades. These rough interior surfaces catch debris more easily than modern pipes, which is why professional cleaning makes such a dramatic difference.
We handle everything from kitchen drains clogged with grease and food particles to bathroom drains blocked with hair and soap scum. Our hydro jetting is eco-friendly—no harsh chemicals that damage your pipes or the environment, just high-pressure water that gets the job done right.
Professional drain cleaning in Waltham typically costs between $250-$600, depending on the severity of the clog and the method needed. Simple drain snaking for minor clogs usually runs less, while hydro jetting for stubborn blockages or main line issues costs more.
We provide upfront, transparent pricing before we start any work. No hidden fees, no surprise charges when the job is done. Most customers find that professional cleaning actually saves money long-term because it prevents the recurring clogs that keep costing you service calls.
The investment pays for itself when you consider that proper drain cleaning can prevent water damage, extend your plumbing system’s lifespan, and eliminate those emergency calls that always seem to happen at the worst possible times.
Most drain cleaning jobs take between 30 minutes to 2 hours, depending on the location and severity of the clog. Simple drain snaking for accessible clogs usually takes about 30 minutes. More complex issues requiring hydro jetting or camera inspection can take up to 2 hours.
Main line clogs typically take longer because we need to access your sewer line and may need to use specialized equipment. However, most of our customers are surprised at how quickly we can resolve even stubborn drain problems that they’ve been dealing with for weeks.
We work efficiently because we have the right tools and experience. Our technicians come fully equipped, so we’re not making multiple trips or waiting for equipment. When we schedule your appointment, we’ll give you a realistic time estimate based on what you’ve described.
Hydro jetting can be safe for older pipes, but it requires professional assessment first. Many Waltham homes have older cast iron or galvanized steel pipes that may have developed cracks or weak spots over the decades. That’s why we always perform a camera inspection before hydro jetting.
Our video inspection shows us the exact condition of your pipes. If we find cracks, corrosion, or other damage, we’ll recommend alternative cleaning methods that won’t risk further damage. The last thing you want is to turn a drain cleaning job into a major pipe replacement project.
When your pipes are in good condition, hydro jetting is actually gentler on your plumbing than harsh chemical drain cleaners. It uses only water—no corrosive chemicals that can damage pipe joints or harm your septic system. Professional hydro jetting removes buildup without the risks that come with DIY chemical solutions.
Waltham’s older infrastructure is a major factor in frequent drain clogs. Many homes here have cast iron or galvanized pipes that develop rough interior surfaces over time due to mineral deposits and corrosion. These rough surfaces catch debris much more easily than smooth modern pipes.
Kitchen drains typically clog from grease, food particles, and soap residue that build up over time. Bathroom drains face different challenges—hair combines with soap scum and toothpaste to form stubborn blockages that resist simple plunging. Many homeowners also unknowingly flush items like cotton swabs, dental floss, and “flushable” wipes that don’t actually break down in water.
The solution is regular professional cleaning every 18-24 months for most homes, though houses with older plumbing or large families may need more frequent service. Preventive maintenance costs much less than emergency repairs and water damage cleanup.
Yes, we provide 24/7 emergency drain cleaning services throughout Waltham. Drain emergencies don’t wait for business hours, and neither do we. Whether it’s a backed-up main line on Sunday night or a kitchen drain that won’t drain during holiday cooking, we’re available when you need us.
Emergency drain situations can quickly turn into water damage and health hazards, especially with sewage backups. We understand the urgency and typically respond within hours of your call, depending on our current service load. Our technicians come fully equipped to handle most emergency drain situations on the first visit.
We charge the same rates for emergency service that we do during regular business hours—no premium charges just because it’s after hours or on weekends. When you’re dealing with a drain emergency, the last thing you need is price gouging on top of the stress and inconvenience.
Most Waltham homes benefit from professional drain cleaning every 18-24 months. However, this varies based on your specific situation. Homes with older plumbing, large families, or heavy usage may need cleaning annually. Houses with newer pipes and careful usage might go longer between services.
Signs that you need drain cleaning sooner include slow-draining fixtures, gurgling sounds, recurring clogs, or unpleasant odors coming from drains. Don’t wait until you have a complete blockage—preventive cleaning is much more convenient and cost-effective than emergency calls.
Regular maintenance prevents the buildup that leads to serious clogs and extends your plumbing system’s lifespan. We recommend scheduling drain cleaning as part of your annual home maintenance routine, along with HVAC service and other preventive care. It’s a small investment that prevents much larger problems down the road.
