Our Sewer & Drain Services in Somerville

Our licensed Massachusetts crews provide a complete range of sewer and drain services for Somerville homeowners and businesses.

Sewer Line Repair

Professional sewer line repair for cracks, leaks, offsets, and root damage. We diagnose the problem with camera inspection and use the most effective repair method — traditional or trenchless — to restore your sewer line.

Drain Snake Service

Commercial drain snaking for residential and commercial properties. Our motorized cable machines clear roots, grease, and debris from drain lines up to 100 feet or more from the access point.

Sewer Line Cleaning

Thorough sewer line cleaning to remove grease, sludge, roots, and mineral deposits. We use hydro jetting and mechanical cleaning to restore full flow to your main sewer line.

Sewer Line Installation

Complete new sewer line installation using modern pipe materials rated for decades of service. We coordinate with local utilities, pull permits, and ensure code-compliant connections.

Sewer Backup

Sewer backup emergencies require immediate action. We dispatch crews fast to stop the overflow, clear the line, and restore sanitary conditions — then find and fix the root cause.

Sewer Line Relining

Professional CIPP relining to rehabilitate cracked, root-damaged, and leaking sewer lines from the inside. The epoxy-saturated liner cures in place and restores structural integrity without digging.

Sewer Camera Inspection

High-definition sewer camera inspection that shows you exactly what is happening inside your pipes. We locate cracks, roots, offsets, bellies, and blockages without any digging.

Sewer Cleanout

We install and service sewer cleanouts to provide direct access to your main drain line. Essential for properties without existing cleanout access, older homes, and properties with recurring issues.

Commercial Drain Cleaning

Commercial drain cleaning designed for business operations. We schedule service around your hours, clean every drain in your facility, and maintain records for health and code compliance.

Hydro Jetting

Professional hydro jetting that removes everything from your pipe walls — tree roots, hardened grease, calcium buildup, and years of accumulated debris. Restores full pipe capacity in a single visit.

Drain Repair

Expert drain pipe repair for cracked, corroded, collapsed, and leaking drain lines. We use camera inspection to locate the damage and the most effective method to repair it permanently.

Sewer Line Replacement

Full sewer lateral replacement using traditional excavation or trenchless pipe bursting. We remove old clay, cast iron, or Orangeburg pipe and install modern materials designed to last 50+ years.

Clogged Drain Repair

Fast clogged drain repair for stubborn blockages in kitchens, bathrooms, laundry rooms, and main lines. We break through grease, hair, soap scum, and foreign object clogs quickly.

Trenchless Sewer Repair

Advanced trenchless pipe repair using cured-in-place lining or pipe bursting methods. We fix your sewer line in hours instead of days, with minimal disruption to your property.

Drain Cleaning

Expert drain clearing for every type of clog. Our technicians diagnose the blockage location and severity, then use the most effective cleaning method to restore full drainage flow.

24/7 emergency drain clearing and repair when you cannot wait until morning. Our crews carry everything needed to clear blockages, stop overflows, and restore drainage immediately.

Storm drain cleaning and maintenance to prevent flooding, standing water, and property damage during heavy rain. We clear debris, silt, and buildup from storm drain systems of all sizes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to the most frequently asked sewer and drain questions from Somerville property owners.

What causes recurring drain clogs in Somerville homes?

Recurring clogs in Somerville homes are usually caused by grease buildup inside drain lines, tree root intrusion into sewer pipes, pipe bellies or offsets that trap debris, or undersized plumbing. A sewer camera inspection identifies the root cause so we can fix the real problem, not just clear the symptom temporarily.

Can tree roots damage my sewer line in Somerville?

Absolutely. Tree root intrusion is one of the most common causes of sewer line damage in Somerville, MA. Roots seek out moisture and can penetrate tiny cracks or joints in sewer pipes, eventually causing blockages and pipe collapse. Our crews remove roots with hydro jetting and can reline pipes to prevent future intrusion.

How do you diagnose sewer problems in Somerville without digging?

We use a specialized waterproof camera that is inserted into your sewer line through a cleanout. The camera transmits real-time video that shows us the exact location and nature of any blockage, crack, offset joint, or root intrusion. This lets us recommend the most cost-effective repair for your Somerville property without any excavation.

How often should I have my sewer line inspected in Somerville?

We recommend a sewer camera inspection every 2 to 3 years for Somerville properties, or immediately if you notice warning signs like slow drains or sewage odors. Older homes in Somerville with clay or cast iron pipes should be inspected more frequently. Regular inspection catches small problems before they become expensive emergencies.

How much does sewer line repair cost in Somerville, MA?

Sewer line repair costs in Somerville typically range from $1,500 to $5,000 for standard residential repairs and $5,000 to $15,000 or more for full replacements. Factors include pipe material, depth, length of damaged section, and whether trenchless methods can be used. We provide free camera inspections with detailed, written estimates before any work begins.

What is trenchless sewer repair and is it available in Somerville?

Trenchless sewer repair uses pipe lining or pipe bursting technology to fix damaged sewer lines without digging up your yard, driveway, or landscaping. It is faster, less disruptive, and often costs less than traditional excavation. Our Somerville crews perform trenchless repairs when site conditions allow — saving you time, money, and landscaping restoration costs.
