Drain Cleaning Costs in Greater Boston

Most drain clearing jobs we complete fall in this range:

Average: $500

Low: $300
High: $800

What Affects the Price?

  • How bad the clog is: a simple sink or tub clog is usually quicker to clear than a deep main line blockage.
  • Where the clog is: secondary drains are easier to reach than the main sewer line.
  • Equipment needed: a drain snake handles many clogs, while tougher main line blockages may need a larger sewer machine or a camera inspection.

You’ll see your options and pricing before any work begins.

Signs You Need Drain Cleaning

  • Water draining slowly from sinks, tubs or showers
  • Gurgling sounds from drains
  • Bad smells coming from drains
  • Water backing up in more than one fixture
  • Water around a floor drain in the basement

Camera Inspections

When a clog keeps coming back, or we suspect a problem deeper in the line, we can run a camera through the pipe to see exactly what’s causing it. That way you know whether you need a cleaning, a repair or something more.

Avoid the Next Clog

  • Keep grease, oil and food scraps out of the kitchen sink
  • Use drain screens in tubs and showers
  • Only flush toilet paper
  • Don’t rely on chemical drain cleaners, which can be hard on your pipes

What to Expect on a Service Visit

  1. You get a text confirmation. Once your visit is booked, you’ll get a text confirming it. When your technician is on the way, you’ll get another text with their photo and a link to track their arrival.
  2. We call ahead. Your technician calls on the way, and even asks if you’d like a coffee or anything from the store.
  3. We arrive ready. Our trucks usually carry the parts to fix the problem during that first appointment.
  4. We respect your home. Technicians wear shoe covers and clean up the work area when the job is done.
  5. We diagnose the problem. We ask about what you’re noticing, then do a thorough evaluation.
  6. You see your options first. We give you all your options with pricing before any work begins, and we only move forward with your approval.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

How much does drain cleaning cost?

Most drain clearing jobs we complete range from about $300 to $800, with an average of around $500. You’ll see your options and pricing before any work begins.

Why does my drain keep clogging?

Repeat clogs often point to buildup deeper in the line or a problem with the pipe itself. A camera inspection can show exactly what’s going on.

Are chemical drain cleaners safe to use?

They can be hard on your pipes and often don’t clear the whole clog. It’s better to have the drain cleared properly.

Do you offer camera inspections?

Yes. When needed, we run a camera through the line to find the cause of the problem.
