"Preston from Neighborhood drains was the 3rd drain company that came out to my home for the vent clog in my roof drain. They didn’t even go onto my roof where the problem originated. He went up on my roof and cleared the vent drain and the blockage cleared out. If you have a drain clog give Neighborhood Drains a call. Preston is a true professional, honest, and reasonable rates. I’ve had a lot of work done around my house having hired many different companies and he was simply the best guy that I’ve encountered."

Customers say: Quality work

"Todd , the owner of at “First Servive LLC”was a 5 star PLUMMER !! When I called him he gave me a quote over the phone when I explained the problem and came out to our home the next day. Our hot water heater was leaking onto the floor and water was only getting warm. He found the problem fast and installed new elements / thermostats in the upper / lower panels on our 50 gallon tank .He checked our whole system and tested it. Todd cleaned up the whole area when done and we talked after in our kitchen for about half hour. He was fast, pleasant , clean , and very reasonably priced!!! I would highly recommend “First Service, LLC. Plumming , for your plumming needs! I now have a great PLUMMER, with only a phone call away!! 5-STAR."

Hi, my name is Quinn — a Massachusetts plumber who takes real pride in quality work. I’m available for just about any plumbing job, big or small. Why pay a big company 3–4× the price when you can work directly with someone who cares about doing the job right the first time?\n\nI specialize in most aspects of plumbing and offer honest, reliable service at a fair price. The only things I don’t work on are septic systems and oil-related equipment.\n\nIf you need plumbing work done and want quality without the inflated company pricing, feel free to reach out. I’d be happy to help.

"Main Street Drain Cleaning was amazing, honest, VERY affordable, knowledgeable, and did the job in under 2 hours. They let us know what clogged the toilet in our basement, and then went above and beyond to repair it. I will definitely be reaching out to them with any plumbing issues for my home in the future. Highly recommended..."

Drain Cleaning questions, answered by experts

It is generally not recommended to pour hot or boiling water down a drain to unfreeze pipes due to significant risks. In some cases, the sudden temperature change can cause more ice buildup or produce steam, which increases pressure and could cause the pipe to burst, leading to costly damage and potential burn injuries. While hot water might help with a partially frozen drainpipe, it is unlikely to thaw a completely blocked water pipe further down the system. Additionally, boiling water can damage plastic pipes over time. Safer and more effective methods include using a space heater near the frozen section or applying hot towels directly to the pipe.

If your dishwasher keeps filling with water at the bottom but doesn’t fill into the sink, the issue is likely due to a blockage within the dishwasher or drain. Regularly clean your dishwasher filter basket to ensure it’s not clogged with food, and run a vinegar rinse periodically if you have hard water to remove limescale buildup.

The cost to unclog a drain varies based on the location and severity of the clog. For simple clogs within your home, such as in a sink, toilet, or shower, hiring a plumber typically costs between $110 and $350, with an average of around $200. Snaking a toilet or sink usually costs between $110 and $275, while a bathtub or shower clog costs about $225.

For a more serious clog in the main sewer line, the cost is higher. Clearing a main line clog generally costs between $200 and $600, with an average of about $380. However, prices can range from as low as $100 for snaking a minor clog to over $1,600, particularly if advanced methods like video inspection and hydrojetting are needed for a large or hard-to-reach blockage. Some severe main line clogs can cost upwards of $1,000 to clear depending on factors like the cause of the clog, its distance from an accessible cleanout, and whether the pipe is located beneath an occupied space (e.g., in an apartment building). You may be able to save money on minor clogs by using a drain snake or bladder yourself.

Food grease, soap buildup, paper products, and tree roots often cause serious clogs.

A liquid drain cleaner can sometimes make a clog worse over time if you use it improperly or too much. The chemicals in drain cleaners can corrode and damage pipes, causing cracks and leaks that may cause further blockages. If the clog is more than the liquid drain cleaner can handle, the cleaner will simply add chemicals to a bigger overall problem.
