Drain Cleaning for Somerville Homes
Need drain cleaning in Somerville, MA? Our licensed technicians serve Somerville and the surrounding Greater Boston communities. 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.
Somerville has some of the oldest housing in the area: 59% of homes were built before 1940, and the median home dates to 1938. 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 02143, 02144 and 02145 and every community within 25 km of Somerville, and our nearest neighboring service areas for drain cleaning include Medford, Everett and Malden.

Good to know about drain cleaning
EPA advises: never pour cooking oil or grease down the drain, and only flush human waste and toilet paper down the toilet; non-flushable wipes such as baby wipes or other wet wipes should never be flushed.
epa.govEPA 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.
