I called at 9am to request help with backed up sewer line. Spoke with dispatcher who was incredibly positive. David showed up 30 minutes later from Rooter Man and did an excellent job unplugging my line in a very cramped space. David worked hard and did everything possible to clear my sewer line successfully and remained professional and was extremely hard working. The cost was less than I imagined and was even given a military discount. The reviews got me to call them. Their service will keep me for life and I won't hesitate to refer to my friends. Thanks guys!!

Rooter Man is a terrific service. The company always sends out an experienced field tech and he always get the job done no matter how tough it is. A couple of years ago, we had an impossibly clogged drain and by some miracle, the plumber was able to unclog it at a bare minimum of expense to us. You see, we were in the middle of renovating our kitchen and one of our bathrooms simultaneously, and unfortunately the drywall guys were rinsing all manner of gunky stuff down the drain. Well, Rooter Man was able to clean it all out of there, and we are so grateful. Two years later, the drain is still working like it's brand new. Over the past weekend, I was using a brush to unclog a drain in our other bathroom. Well, it slipped out of my hands and got stuck down in the drain. My spouse and I even got the bright idea to try to open up the drain and remove the brush ourselves. Now that was a really bad idea. So on Monday morning we called Rooter Man and they were able to send field tech Cody E. over in under an hour. Not only did Cody get the brush out for us, he was also able to put the plumbing back together that we had disassembled. And now it's working like new and to tell you the truth, the pipes are fitting together better than they had been fitting before we even touched it. Also while he was here, Cody gave us all types of tips about how to keep the drain clean and he even showed us the proper way to remove the drain stopper so that we wouldn't make the same mistake again. And besides all of that, Cody was a very nice guy who really cared about us as customers, and we really appreciated that. Thanks, Rooter Man, for your prompt and expert service over the years. We really appreciate you and I'm sure we'll be calling you again in the future.

We contacted Kenco because we needed the floor drains at our facility to be cleaned out. From the start, Paige, Leon and the team were incredibly responsive and informative. They came out to tour the space, asked and answered questions to ensure we were on the same page, and promptly scheduled the work. They arrived as planned and provided professional service at every step. Would highly recommend this company for your plumbing needs!

Same day service for a grease clogged kitchen sink. Very friendly and knowledgeable. I got a detailed verbal report of what they found and how they fixed it. I would use Kenco Plumbing again. They also offer a military and veteran discount. Great job.

I had an emergency call out for an unshutable shower valve with no access to stop it spewing water uncontrollably but to shut my entire home off from the water intake supply valve. Leon came out within 30 mins of my initial call to respond to my needs. Leon did an amazing job. Really tried and used every tool in his power to salvage what he could for the valve to work. Explained through in great detail what my options were. And made me feel very comfortable and confident in my decision for a valve replacement. Very personable and easy to talk to. Showed immense passion for his job and displays amazing work ethic and drive to just be able to help get the crisis taken care of. Would recommend him and all the staff at Kenco Plumbing And Drains to come to your emergent needs or for just routine installation or repairs.

I'm new to the area and don't know the first thing about septic tanks or sewer systems. I called these guys because of a bathtub drain issue—and septic tank concerns. They sent Zach out (who was very helpful), in less than two hours, and he was very thorough. He even explained how to use the humidifiers in the basement! Their pricing was also super fair. Highly recommended.

I recently needed to get the pipes fixed that my washing machine and dishwasher and sink go to. Basically, the washing machine kept overflowing out that back pipe. I hired another place to snake the drain. That place tried but found the pipe under the foundation likely had collapsed and suggested I call Pettigrew. They came out quickly, looked things over, took a video so the technician would know the process and quoted a fair price, I felt (under $2000). They came back in about 4 or 5 days to do the work and it looks so nice- no more floppy overflowing pipe!

Another excellent service call by Steve from Pettigrew Plumbing! We’ve used Pettigrew Plumbing for all our projects over the years and have never been disappointed. From scheduling to service, they are always so helpful and professional. Steve was wonderful to work with. He took the time to explain everything that was happening with our project and answered all our questions throughly. I would highly recommend working with him and the Pettigrew team for any of your needs.

Definitely gonna call these guys again. From scheduling, to arrival time, to payment options, everything was smooth and well communicated. Our tech that showed up was super polite and took the time to explain the options and what was wrong with our boiler once he deduced the issue. I think I will become a subscriber to access more benefits. Great company and glad to find a group I can trust. Thanks y’all!

Eric Ott (HiFiSPIN)

Our main bathroom toilet started leaking at the base, and since our home is on a slab foundation, my concern level went from mild to full homeowner anxiety pretty fast. I am not a plumber, which is exactly why I called P.J. Labrie & Sons. This was the week before Christmas, which made the situation extra festive in all the wrong ways. Their customer service rep was incredibly friendly and even worked to get a technician scheduled for Christmas Eve. She later called back, explained the repair might be more involved, and moved us to the day after Christmas — totally reasonable, and appreciated. Two technicians showed up five minutes early within their one-hour arrival window, which frankly deserves applause. They were friendly, efficient, and in and out in a little over an hour. One of them clearly explained what caused the leak and how they fixed it. Helpful pro tip: if a plumber seals the base of your toilet with caulk, it may be hiding a bad seal. These guys did it right — no caulk, no leaks. Bonus: the toilet no longer rocks when you sit on it. Extra bonus: the invoice came in much lower than expected. Fair pricing, punctual service, no nonsense, and a job done correctly. I highly recommend P.J. Labrie & Sons.

I’ve worked with PJ Labrie & Sons on a couple of projects over the past few years, and they’ve consistently done excellent work. Their crew is professional, courteous, and always on time. They communicate clearly, keep the job site clean, and make sure everything is done the right way. They also handle the annual maintenance on my boiler and air conditioner, and that service has been just as dependable. They show up when scheduled, take the time to inspect everything carefully, and make sure the systems are running efficiently before they leave. I highly recommend PJ Labrie & Sons to anyone looking for dependable, high-quality HVAC and/or plumbing service.

We had a great experience working with Nick and his team this week to replace our AC. From start to finish, the team was professional, respectful, and easy to work with. They arrived on time, worked efficiently, and kept everything clean throughout the process. We really appreciated how careful they were in our home — it’s clear they take pride in their work. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for quality HVAC service!

Derek was an excellent person to do the hard work that he did. He was very patient and kept me informed about what he wanted to do. Very knowledgeable about his work. I was very happy when he uncovered both tank covers as well as the Cameron’s driver. I am so happy that I chose Heritage. Thank you very much. Carl and Bev. PS. We had a plugged septic tank that was completely full and nothing was going out to the leach beds. Frozen.

We had our electrical panel replaced by heritage. The next day we woke up to our heat not working. They came back and said they fried the heating control box and replaced it. Before the tech left, we noted half of our house was still without heat. They returned that day and told us it was not due to their work and charged us to correct the issue. We expressed our concern with Todd, the manager, who said it is just a coincidence that this happened after their work and they should not have even replaced the control box for us. The next day, we woke up to the other half of the house being without heat. They informed me they would not be able to come out until Monday, which would leave us without heat for 3 days (this was in March, still freezing temps). I informed them that I would have another company come out to fix the issue and would take them to court. Suddenly they were able to get to us that afternoon. The man who came said we needed new thermostats and replaced them. Todd called back per my request and gave us a refund for the previous days work only after telling him we had planned to have them do our central air but would not do so after this. We received multiple calls after offering us discounts on central air if we did it through them. One of the thermostats then stopped working, needing batteries replaced daily. The man who came stood in my door, explained how batteries work and that its once again not their fault. The thermostat is only being run by battery, despite wires being pushed into the back. My husband asked the tech to leave after he dismissed our frustration and asked what we expected they would do. He said he’d tell his manager to call, which no one did. A week later eversource came to remove an old wire and was unable to complete their work because the original techs had no connected us properly outside. We once again had no power for half a day. I asked the woman at the call desk and the tech who arrived to ask a manager to call me, again, no one did. Throughout this process, I had to miss 3 days of work (as I work from home) that I had not planned to as we either had no electricity or no heat and I had to ensure my young child was not impacted. The only times they responded with urgency or true concern was when a lawsuit was threatened or when we shared we would take our future business elsewhere. I cannot stress enough that they are not deserving of your business or money- wild as I was told one of the managers is actually our neighbor. If they don’t care about people they would easily run into in their own neighborhood, they clearly don’t care generally. *** they say I can call them but wouldn’t it be appropriate to actually call me back since my name is right here? Do what I wish we did, don’t bother with these people.

Nick came out on a Saturday morning because we had no hot water. The price for the weekend visit was almost half what another vendor quoted us. Nick was assigned. He called in advance, called from the driveway, and followed instructions to the letter to access the basement from our bulkhead to avoid a crazy dog. I was impressed with the detailed questions he asked and his diagnostic skills. After his analysis, he presented two options to pursue and was honest and clear about the chances for success for both. I had researched some equipment prices in advance and what he presented was fair. He’ll be back Monday to finish, since parts/equipment aren’t available today. I’d recommend High Ground (the old Sanford) and especially Nick. He’s friendly, respectful, no-nonsense, educates and explains well, and inspires trust in his recommendations.

Professional Drain Cleaning in Dover, New Hampshire

Dover’s historic charm comes with some unique plumbing challenges, particularly in the older neighborhoods near the Cocheco River and downtown mill conversions. When a sink backs up or a main line clogs, the last thing you want is to spend an hour calling local shops only to hear "we're booked until next week." Our service changes that dynamic by doing the legwork for you, ensuring your Dover home or business gets immediate attention.

We specialize in connecting you with Dover’s most reliable drain experts. By filtering our network through your specific New Hampshire zip code, we pinpoint the closest technicians. More importantly, we call them ourselves to verify they are ready to head to your property right now, saving you the frustration of "unavailable" voicemails and missed appointments.

Common Drain Issues in Dover, New Hampshire

Historic Pipe Corrosion: Many Dover homes, especially those closer to the downtown area, feature older cast iron or clay pipes. Over time, these materials corrode or scale, causing frequent blockages that standard retail drain cleaners simply can't fix.

Cocheco Valley Root Intrusion: With Dover's lush canopy of old-growth trees, root intrusion is a major culprit for main sewer line backups. Roots seek out the moisture in your pipes, leading to slow drains throughout the entire house.

Industrial Mill Sediment: If you live in or near one of Dover's repurposed mill buildings, sediment buildup in communal or aging individual lines can lead to stubborn grease and soap scum clogs that require professional hydro-jetting.

Basement Floor Drain Backups: Given the high water table in parts of Strafford County, basement floor drains often back up during heavy rain or snowmelt. This requires a professional to ensure the backflow valve or drain line is clear and functional.

Seasonal Drain Maintenance Tips for Dover, New Hampshire

Winter Freeze Protection: In Dover's harsh NH winters, even interior drains can struggle if they are on exterior walls. Keep your heat consistent and ensure crawl spaces are insulated to prevent drain lines from freezing.

Spring Gutter and Downspout Check: As the snow melts in the Seacoast region, ensure your downspouts are clear and leading away from your foundation. Clogged perimeter drains can lead to basement flooding during Dover's rainy spring months.

Autumn Leaf Management: Falling leaves in the "Garrison City" can easily find their way into outdoor drains and catch basins. Clear your yard debris frequently to prevent exterior drainage systems from becoming obstructed before the first freeze.

Summer High-Usage Care: With kids home and more guests visiting for summer outings, your kitchen disposal takes a beating. Avoid putting fibrous vegetables or grease down the drain to prevent a mid-summer plumbing emergency.

Average Drain Cleaning Costs in Dover, New Hampshire

$175-$450

Prices in Dover typically range based on the severity of the clog and the equipment needed. A simple snake job is on the lower end, while main line clearing or hydro-jetting for tree roots falls on the higher end.

Frequently Asked Questions about Drain Cleaning in Dover, New Hampshire

How quickly can a plumber arrive at my Dover home?

By verifying availability before you even book, we aim to find plumbers in the Dover/NH seacoast area who can offer same-day or 24-hour emergency response.

Do you service all zip codes in Dover, NH?

Yes, our filtering system covers all of Dover and the surrounding Strafford County communities to ensure we find the closest technician to your doorstep.

Is hydro-jetting necessary for Dover’s older homes?

For many historic properties in Dover, hydro-jetting is highly effective because it removes decades of scale and grease buildup that a standard snake might miss.

What should I do if my drain backs up on a weekend?

Use our service immediately. We specifically verify which Dover-area plumbers are on-call and ready to handle weekend emergencies so you don't have to wait until Monday.

Are the plumbers in your Dover network licensed?

Yes, we only connect you with certified professionals who are familiar with New Hampshire plumbing codes and Dover's specific infrastructure.
