You know the feeling when your kitchen sink finally drains properly after weeks of standing water. When your shower doesn’t turn into a bathtub every morning. When you can actually use your basement utility sink without worrying about backups.
That’s what proper drain cleaning gets you. Not just a temporary fix, but drains that work the way they’re supposed to work. No more plunging. No more standing water. No more wondering if today’s the day your pipes give up completely.
Most Woburn homeowners wait until they’re dealing with a full backup before calling anyone. By then, you’re looking at emergency rates, potential water damage, and a lot more hassle than necessary.
Emma Plumbing started in new construction back in 2007. We’ve seen how plumbing should be done from the ground up, and now we’re bringing that same attention to detail to drain cleaning and repairs in Woburn.
We know the older homes around the Middlesex Canal area. We understand how Woburn’s aging infrastructure affects your home’s plumbing. And we’ve built our reputation on doing the work right the first time, with upfront pricing that doesn’t change once we start.
Our team has grown to five people, all focused on service work now. That means when you call Emma Plumbing, you’re getting our full attention—not someone rushing between new construction sites.
First, we show up when we say we will. You get a clear explanation of what we found and what it’ll cost before any work starts. No surprises.
For most drain cleaning jobs, we start with a camera inspection to see exactly what’s going on in your pipes. This isn’t just for show—it tells us whether you’re dealing with a simple clog, tree roots, or something that needs a different approach entirely.
Then we clear the blockage using the right method for your specific situation. Sometimes that’s hydro jetting to blast away buildup. Sometimes it’s mechanical cleaning. We use what works, not just what’s easiest.
You get a 7-day warranty on the drain cleaning work, plus our 1-year labor warranty. And for new customers, that camera inspection is free—so you know exactly what you’re dealing with before spending a dime.
Ready to get started?
Every drain cleaning service includes that upfront camera inspection, so you see exactly what we’re dealing with. No guessing, no upselling based on worst-case scenarios.
We handle everything from kitchen sink clogs to main sewer line blockages. Our hydro jetting equipment can clear years of grease buildup, soap scum, and debris that regular snaking can’t touch. For Woburn’s older homes, this often means getting your drains flowing better than they have in years.
You also get our honest assessment of your drain system’s overall condition. If we spot potential problems during the inspection, we’ll let you know—but we’re not going to pressure you into work that can wait.
The 24/7 emergency service means we’re available when your drains decide to quit working at the worst possible time. Because backups don’t wait for business hours, and neither do we.
Most residential drain cleaning jobs in Woburn run between $150-$400, depending on the severity of the blockage and which drains are affected. Simple kitchen sink clogs are usually on the lower end, while main sewer line cleaning costs more.
We give you the exact price upfront after our camera inspection shows us what we’re dealing with. No hourly rates that keep climbing, no surprise charges for “additional materials” that should have been included from the start.
The free camera inspection for new customers means you know the real scope of work before committing to anything. If it’s a simple fix, you pay for a simple fix. If it’s more complicated, you’ll know why and exactly what it’ll cost.
Most Woburn homes benefit from professional drain cleaning every 1-2 years, but it depends on your specific situation. Older homes with cast iron pipes or homes with large families typically need more frequent cleaning.
If you’re dealing with slow drains, gurgling sounds, or unpleasant odors coming from your drains, don’t wait for the annual cleaning. These are signs that buildup is already affecting your drain performance.
Kitchen drains that handle a lot of grease and food debris often need attention more frequently than bathroom drains. Our camera inspection during the first visit helps us recommend a maintenance schedule that makes sense for your home and usage patterns.
Snaking uses a mechanical cable to break through clogs, while hydro jetting uses high-pressure water to completely clean the inside of your pipes. Think of snaking as poking a hole through the blockage, and hydro jetting as power-washing your entire drain system.
For simple clogs, snaking often does the job and costs less. But for years of grease buildup, soap scum, or recurring problems, hydro jetting provides a more thorough cleaning that lasts longer.
Our camera inspection shows us which approach makes sense for your specific situation. We’re not going to recommend expensive hydro jetting if a simple snaking will solve your problem, but we’ll also let you know when the more thorough cleaning will save you money in the long run.
Yes, but we need to know about any chemicals you’ve used before we start work. Some drain cleaners can create dangerous reactions with our equipment or pose safety risks to our technicians.
Chemical drain cleaners rarely solve the underlying problem—they might clear a path through the clog, but they don’t remove the buildup that caused it. Worse, repeated use of harsh chemicals can damage your pipes, especially in Woburn’s older homes with metal plumbing.
Our mechanical and hydro jetting methods actually remove the debris instead of just dissolving part of it. This means longer-lasting results and less damage to your plumbing system over time.
Yes, we provide 24/7 emergency drain cleaning services throughout Woburn. Drain backups don’t wait for convenient times, and we understand that some situations can’t wait until morning.
Emergency service does cost more than scheduled appointments, but we’re upfront about emergency rates when you call. You won’t get hit with surprise charges just because your drain decided to back up on a Sunday night.
Our emergency response focuses on stopping the immediate problem and preventing property damage. Once we have the situation under control, we can discuss longer-term solutions and schedule follow-up work during regular hours if needed.
All our drain cleaning work comes with a 7-day warranty—if the same drain clogs again within a week, we’ll come back and fix it at no charge. Our general plumbing work includes a 1-year labor warranty.
The 7-day drain cleaning warranty covers the specific blockage we cleared. If a different problem develops in the same drain, that’s separate work, but we’ll always explain exactly what we’re seeing and why.
These warranties aren’t just marketing—they’re backed by our commitment to doing the work right the first time. We’d rather spend the time to properly clear your drains than deal with callbacks and unhappy customers.
