Drain Cleaning for Medford Homes
Hunt Plumbing And Heating INC provides drain cleaning for homes and businesses in Medford, MA. Slow sinks, gurgling tubs and backed-up main lines are more than an inconvenience. Our licensed plumbers clear clogged drains properly so water flows freely again.
Medford has some of the oldest housing in the area: 49% of homes were built before 1940, and the median home dates to 1942. Older drain lines have had decades to collect buildup, which is why repeat clogs in older homes often point deeper into the line.
We serve ZIP codes 02153, 02155 and 02156 and every community within 25 km of Medford, and our nearest neighboring service areas for drain cleaning include Malden, Somerville and Arlington.

Good to know about drain cleaning
EPA also warns never to pour oil-based paints, solvents, or large volumes of toxic cleaners down the drain.
epa.govFEMA's urban flooding guidance advises not flushing objects, sanitary products, wipes or excessive toilet paper, and not pouring grease, fats and oils down the kitchen sink, because they can block sewer pipes and the lateral connection.
fema.govFEMA recommends keeping basement floor drains clear of debris and obstructions and having a licensed plumber inspect and clean the sewer lateral to remove debris and tree roots.
