This is the second time I've called Pat to unclog my main drain. He arrives quickly and gets right to work. His price is beyond reasonable and his work speaks for itself. I have even recommended him to family members. I will continue to call Pat for services. Thanks Pat!

Patrick didn't give me the run around. He said he would show up in fa ew hours and he did, actually even earlier then expected and we needed the service asap, since our main Sewer line was clogged. He gave us a great price, didn't over charge us like those R guys and got things fix right. In no time we were back in business. I highly recommend him.

UPDATE: I was blown away by how quickly this was handled. Fred, the owner, called me first thing the very next morning and couldn’t have been nicer super down to earth, easy to talk to, and truly understanding. He immediately sent out his senior plumber to take care of everything I wanted addressed, and the work was outstanding. Between Fred’s personal attention and the excellent quality of the work, this was an all around fantastic experience. I couldn’t be happier with how the tankless hot water system turned out. Highly recommend them, thank you Fred and team. We had our HVAC and tankless unit installed by MillTown in 2020 as part of a hydronic heating system. A month ago, the commercial‑grade tank they installed failed. Rheem covered the tank under warranty, but MillTown charged $5,800 for the replacement — which was essentially a retrofit with minimal changes. After reviewing the work, it was clear the job should have been closer to $3,000 based on industry standards and actual scope. Unfortunately, the workmanship was disappointing. The system was left in a condition that doesn’t reflect professional standards — including a drain valve positioned against another pipe, making it impossible to drain the system properly. I provided photos and a detailed email to MillTown expressing these concerns. Their response was that there “wasn’t much to do,” and they offered only a $500 credit toward a future service. Given the excessive pricing and the quality of work, a credit for a future service wasn’t a reasonable solution, and I declined it. Another concern: their website offers no way to contact the owner or any managers directly. For a company that presents itself as family‑run, that lack of transparency says a lot. Overall, the experience was frustrating — from the high cost to the poor workmanship to the dismissive response. Based on this, I cannot recommend MillTown for plumbing or HVAC services.pics show 2 of new tank and 1 of original can see drain valve on pipe !!

Originally called for blocked drain pipe to drywell. Took several visits to finally have them run a snake and camera. Determination was frozen pipe and they couldn't do anything about it - leaving me the customer to purchase hose to suck out standing water, blow warm air into pipe, add de-icer liquid and continue snaking the pipe on my own. Total cost was over $1800. The inside connection to the drain pipe was replaced with minimal materials. Overall, I was not satisfied with the result (drain still clogged) and the cost for work performed seems way out of proportion.

Jonathan and Justyn did a hot water heater replacement for us. They showed up on time, were very polite, and did excellent work. We have a slab foundation and our hot water tank is stuffed in the bathroom closet along with our furnace. They had to work in a very small space all day and even had to remove the toilet and closet doors in order to do the installation. Everything was put back cleaner and in better condition than before. They went above and beyond including reconfiguring the piping layout so that in the future, repairs/the next replacement will go even smoother. After installation, they cleaned up and left the space spotless. We are SO happy with the work that was done and the price we paid. We will definitely continue to use MillTown and would request Jonathan and Justyn in the future for any plumbing needs. Can't recommend MillTown enough!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The name to know when your drains don’t flow — and they just proved it again. I could tell we were heading toward a full-blown main sewer line disaster at one of our rental properties, so I called John’s Sewer & Drain first thing Saturday morning hoping for help before things got… unpleasant. Within about 2½ hours, their tech Paul Kelly was already on site and ready for battle. Paul was awesome — super friendly, extremely knowledgeable, and clearly someone who takes pride in doing the job right. He walked through the issue, explained everything, and handled the whole situation like a pro from start to finish. He even made sure everything was well cleaned up before he left (which, given the nature of sewer work, deserves an extra five stars on its own). As someone who manages rental properties, having a company that shows up quickly and sends technicians like Paul is priceless. I’ve used John’s Sewer & Drain before and never had a bad experience, but this one was next level. It was a great reminder of why they truly are the name to know when your drains don’t flow. If your pipes are plotting against you… call John’s.

I just had John’s Sewer & Drain Cleaning out for some maintenance work on my drainage system, and the experience was outstanding. Mike (#312) arrived within a few hours of my call to inspect the main sewer line from my house to the city street sewer. He thoroughly explained their video inspection service and how it takes a close look at the sewer line, keeping an eye out for clogs, cracks in the underground pipes, and tree roots breaking through the pipe. He walked me through the entire process and even provided a USB stick of the video when he was finished. The inspection showed everything was clear, so there was no need for additional cleaning or to pay for any other services, which was something I really appreciated. Mike was genuinely committed to making sure I only paid for services I actually needed. It’s rare to find someone so honest, caring, and focused on helping things run smoothly without unnecessary costs. Their honesty and transparency were truly refreshing. While he was here, he also snaked our bathroom drain, which had been draining very slowly, and that process was quick and pleasant. I highly recommend John’s Sewer & Drain Cleaning and Mike (#312). I fully trust their work ethic and quality, which has made me a customer for life. I'll absolutely call them again for any future drain maintenance or services. No need to look at anyone else, go with John’s Sewer & Drain Cleaning (and ask for Mike #312!)

We had an issue with our septic pipes and John's was great. Aidan came first thing in the next morning and cleared up our issues. He was very nice, quick and cleaned everything as soon as he was done. The service was reasonably priced for the work done and I'm very happy with the service provided.

Technician “Craig” was great, was very informative regarding my heating system and radiators. He had no problem answering any of my questions with articulate details including showing me specific components of the furnace and bleeding of my radiators while also providing me with the do’s and don’t. This is the second time I called on 123 other than for my furnace (Clogged backed up pipping) and each time someone was dispatched to my residence in a shorter time than expected and resolved the issues.

We've had great experiences with 128 for HVAC maintence and now with replacing our hot water heater. Charlie came to our service call on a Sunday & was so friendly and explained our options thoroughly. The next day, Andy did an outstanding job replacing our hot water heater and bringing everything up to code. From start to finish, Andy and his team were professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly thorough. They explained what needed to be done, made sure all the updates met current code requirements, and completed the work efficiently without cutting corners. The installation looks clean and well-organized, and everything is working perfectly. We appreciate the team at 128 for their customer service and expertise!

Can't say how impressed I was with how quickly and efficiently Wayne and his crew came in to install a new mini split system for our house. This was an emergency replacement since our gas boiler (which feeds our steam radiators) cracked a week ago and required a complete replacement since the system was really old. It also required an electrical panel upgrade and water heater replacement. This is one of those instances where I feel like they couldn't of done anything better given the circumstances.

Jeff F. was my hero today! In an embarrassing accident my phone fell into the toilet and the magnetic kickstand disconnected without me realizing it. When I finally connected the timing of my missing kickstand and a mysterious clogged toilet (the one and only toilet we have in our house!) I was freaking out a little bit. 128 Plumbing was SO nice, from Renee who answered my slightly panicked call and assured me someone could come out today, to Jeff F. the drain expert who was at my house no more than an hour later. He was kind about my accident, and clearly explained all the scenarios (and the pricing structures) he would try. The first step was the auger and he went in with it like a pro. Less than 5 minutes later my sparkly kickstand popped out and we literally cheered and high fived! I would definitely recommend 128 Plumbing for their kindness, availability, and professionalism in getting the job done!

I got a few quotes for a new heating system and 128 Heating was the middle price and they did an amazing job. Great communication from the beginning to the end. The workers were very professional and explained everything as they were doing the install when I asked questions. I will be signing up for the yearly maintenance check.

I don’t frequently review businesses but I was very impressed by the professionalism and workmanship of Steffan and his associate/manager who assisted in our out of the ordinary antique home drainage situation the day before Thanksgiving. Instead of throwing their hands up and saying they’ll come back later, they really took all means to assess the issue and brought in additional perspectives to help us during the same initial visit - I am so incredibly grateful they did such a good job today and fixed the very dire situation. Thank you!!!

Within an hour of us calling, Christopher arrived fully equipped to help us clear a stubborn shower drain. About an hour after that, he had not only fixed the problem, but also took a look at the rest of our plumbing system and gave us thorough instructions how to upkeep it ourselves (and therefore save lots of money in the process). Speaking of money, he was upfront about costs of service, so there weren't any unexpected or hidden fees. Best of all, he was respectful to us, our home, and our appliances. Christopher went above and beyond to help us on a stressful Saturday morning - highly recommend his services for anyone who needs plumbing assistance!

We had a great experience with Chris. He came out the very next day to look at a possible ceiling moisture issue and was calm, thorough, and honest. He didn’t try to upsell us or jump to worst-case scenarios, which we really appreciated. After inspecting everything, he explained that there was no active leak and helped us think through likely causes, including how the shower may not have been properly sealed during construction. He even pointed out an exterior drainage/icing issue near our stairs that supports that conclusion. We felt informed, not pressured, and confident in the next steps after he left. Would absolutely call him again and recommend him to anyone who wants a straight-shooting plumber.

Professional Drain Cleaning in Lawrence, Massachusetts

Lawrence’s rich history as a centerpiece of the Merrimack Valley comes with a unique set of plumbing challenges, largely due to the city's aging infrastructure and historic mill-era architecture. From the classic triple-deckers near the Common to the newer residential pockets, a clogged drain can quickly turn from a minor nuisance into a major household emergency. When you're dealing with a backup, the last thing you want to do is spend your afternoon calling local pros who are already booked solid or don't service your specific street.

Our service changes the game for Lawrence homeowners. Instead of you spending time making phone calls, we scan our network of 15 certified local plumbers, filter them by your exact zip code, and contact them directly. We don't just provide a list; we call to confirm their real-time availability and ensure they are equipped to handle your specific drain issue today. It’s the fastest, most reliable way to get your Lawrence home back in order without the typical wait times.

Common Drain Issues in Lawrence, Massachusetts

Historic Pipe Corrosion: Many Lawrence homes, especially the classic multi-family dwellings built in the early 20th century, feature aging cast iron or galvanized steel pipes. Over time, these materials corrode from the inside out, creating rough surfaces that catch hair and soap scum, leading to frequent, sluggish drainage that requires professional descaling.

Merrimack Valley Tree Roots: The beautiful, mature trees that line Lawrence’s residential neighborhoods are a major cause of sewer line blockages. Roots seek out moisture in old clay pipes—common in this region—creating dense clogs that standard store-bought chemicals simply cannot clear.

Hard Water Buildup: Heavy mineral content in the local water supply can lead to significant calcification within your home's secondary lines. Over the years, this scale builds up, narrowing the diameter of your pipes and making it easier for everyday debris to cause a total blockage.

Winter Grease Hardening: During our long, cold Massachusetts winters, grease poured down kitchen sinks solidifies almost instantly once it hits the cold underground pipes. This creates stubborn 'fatbergs' that are particularly common in high-density areas of Lawrence where multiple units share a single main drain line.

Seasonal Drain Maintenance Tips for Lawrence, Massachusetts

Spring Thaw Inspection: As the snow melts in Lawrence, check your basement floor drains. The high water table near the Merrimack River can cause backups if your drains aren't clear and ready for the heavy spring rains.

Summer Storm Prep: Lawrence often faces intense summer thunderstorms. Ensure your outdoor drains and gutters are clear of organic debris to prevent water from backing up into your foundation during a flash flood.

Autumn Leaf Management: During the fall, keep the area around your external drain grates clear of the heavy leaf fall common in New England. Decaying leaves are a primary cause of exterior drain blockages during October and November.

Winter Pipe Insulation: To prevent drains from freezing and cracking during a Lawrence deep freeze, ensure that any pipes running through unheated crawlspaces are properly insulated, as a frozen drain is much harder and more expensive to clear than a standard clog.

Average Drain Cleaning Costs in Lawrence, Massachusetts

$175-$475

Prices in Lawrence typically depend on the severity of the clog and the equipment needed, such as basic snaking versus high-pressure hydro-jetting. Emergency after-hours calls or main sewer line cleanouts usually fall at the higher end of the spectrum.

Frequently Asked Questions about Drain Cleaning in Lawrence, Massachusetts

How fast can I get a plumber to my home in Lawrence?

Because we call and verify availability before connecting you, we often find Lawrence professionals who can arrive within 2 to 4 hours, even during peak demand periods.

Do Lawrence plumbers offer 24/7 emergency service?

Yes, many of the 15 plumbers in our network provide 24-hour emergency drain cleaning to handle middle-of-the-night backups throughout Lawrence and the surrounding Merrimack Valley.

Will the plumber be familiar with older Lawrence homes?

Absolutely. We specifically filter for certified technicians who have extensive experience working with the unique plumbing challenges found in Lawrence’s historic mill-era architecture and classic triple-deckers.

How much does a standard drain cleaning cost in Lawrence?

In the Lawrence area, a standard drain cleaning service typically ranges from $175 to $475. The final price depends on the location of the clog and whether specialized tools like cameras or hydro-jets are required.

Does your service cover all zip codes in Lawrence, MA?

Yes, we use your specific zip code to filter our network, ensuring we only contact and confirm plumbers who are currently available to service your exact neighborhood in Lawrence.
