A kitchen sink that drains slower every week, a shower that backs up mid-rinse, a floor drain that gurgles when the washer runs — these rarely fix themselves, and snaking the surface clog usually just buys a few weeks. Our Somerville drain team runs camera inspections to find the actual cause.
Every drain job in Somerville starts with a look inside the pipe, not a guess based on symptoms alone.
Our Somerville, MA drain crew is licensed and insured, trained specifically on camera equipment and hydro-jetting systems.
Trucks stocked with jetting and camera equipment are staged around Somerville so a backed-up drain doesn't sit for days.
You'll get a price after the camera inspection, before any jetting or excavation work begins.
These are the drain issues we see most often across Somerville, each handled with the equipment built for that specific cause.
High-pressure water clears grease, sludge, and scale buildup from the inside of the pipe wall, not just punching a hole through the clog like a cable snake.
We record and can show you the footage — you'll see exactly what's causing the clog, not just take our word for it.
Cable snaking is still the right call for a simple hair or debris clog close to the fixture.
Tree roots that have worked into a sewer or drain line get cut and cleared with a root-cutting head, then the line is reassessed for damage.
Grease buildup in kitchen lines is cleared with jetting, which handles congealed grease far better than a cable.
Scheduled jetting on problem lines keeps grease and scale from building back up between service visits.
Tell dispatch which fixtures are affected and whether it's a slow drain or a full backup — that shapes which truck gets sent.
Our Somerville trucks carry both cable and jetting equipment, so a second trip is rarely needed.
The line gets camera-inspected, the actual blockage identified, and a flat price quoted before any clearing begins.
We re-run the camera after clearing so you can see the difference, backed by a workmanship warranty on the service.
"Camera inspection found roots in the main line that two previous plumbers missed entirely." — Homeowner, Somerville
"Main line backup on a Sunday and they had it cleared before it backed up into the tub again." — Somerville resident
"Quoted the jetting price after the camera run, exactly what I paid, no surprises." — Somerville customer
Our jetting and camera-equipped trucks cover Somerville and the surrounding Somerville, MA area, with same-day availability for backed-up drains.
We don't upsell jetting by default; the footage determines which method actually fixes the problem.
Modern jetting equipment lets us control pressure, and we camera-check condition before recommending it on aging pipe.
Camera inspection pricing is quoted upfront and often bundled into the diagnosis fee for a drain cleaning call.
Yes — roots seek out moisture and can enter through small cracks or joints in sewer and drain lines, especially older clay pipe.
It depends on kitchen volume, but many Somerville restaurants schedule quarterly service to avoid emergency backups.
Recurring clogs after snaking are the classic sign jetting or a camera diagnosis is actually needed.
