I called this company early Sunday morning for a service call as our mainline was partially clogged. He came out within a few hours and took care of the problem in a very timely manner. He explained everything thoroughly and was very respectful. Pricing was very reasonable and fair! I would highly recommend this company!

David came in ran the camera inspection about 60 feet, saw the blockage and came in with hydro jet. Cleared out blockage and showed in camera the water flowing for that peace of mine. I would highly recommend David as your first call to solve your backage issues.

United sewer and drain came highly recommended to me by a friend of mine. And now it comes very highly recommended from me to you. I called Dave at 8 o’clock on a Monday night, my toilet was backed up and wasn’t flushing right. Dave was at my house by 11 o’clock the following morning (Tuesday), and performed efficiently. He used his camera through my toilet and through main pipe. Pulled my toilet , snake d it put new wax ring, new bolts and was in and out in timely manner. Very professional service. No problems have occurred since he left. United sewer and drain is the way to go, if you want something done right and quickly!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Five-Star Review for Zoom Drain As a Realtor, I regularly work alongside contractors and service professionals, and when a main drain line issue arises, you need a company that knows exactly what they’re doing. Zoom Drain delivered exactly that level of professionalism and competence. Their technician arrived within 2 hours, quickly identified the problem, and cleared the main line efficiently. He was knowledgeable, professional, and took the time to explain the cause and solution in clear terms. Most importantly, the work was completed properly and with confidence. This is the kind of dependable service I trust—not only for my own property, but for my clients as well. Having reliable professionals like Zoom Drain is essential in real estate, where timelines and proper repairs matter. I would confidently recommend Zoom Drain to any homeowner, buyer, seller, or fellow Realtor who needs fast, professional, and effective drain cleaning service.

Service was great. We had a clog in the trap for our sewer line late at night and needed someone to fix it fast before it overflowed into the house. They called after they saw us schedule for the next morning and asked if we needed someone right away and we did. Sent over Preston and he did amazing, identified the issue and had it fixed in 30 minutes. Will absolutely call again.

Unfortunately for me I have a very invasive root system growing into my main line. This is the second time I’ve had to call out Zoom Drain and both times they have been great. They hydrojetted the line and were able to get some flow again until we can dig up the pipe and replace. Ruiz was prompt, knowledgeable and friendly.

Shawn recently serviced my 3-unit house and handled a main drain clog. He responded quickly, diagnosed the issue fast, and had everything cleared out in no time. He was professional, respectful of the property, and made sure everything was clean before leaving. It’s hard to find service techs who are both efficient and detail-oriented, but Shawn delivered on both. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone needing reliable and professional service.

Derek and Chuck were both very organized and expert repairing our sewer drain. The prep protection for our furnished basement where a wall needed to be cut and our outdoor garden which had to be dug up to access the sewer line was exceptional as was the clean up after the work was completed. They both were kind and respectful of our property...wore protective boot covers before entering our home. They worked so well together as a team. Derek was able to place a new easy access to the sewer line behind a door in our basement rather a cut out in the wall where it had previously been located. We also had support from Matt the field supervisor for this project. Grateful to Roto-Rooter in RI and would highly recommend them.

I was very impressed with this Roto rooter serviceman. He was very knowledgeable and explained everything upfront after he assessed my situation. I felt I could trust him. He proved to be an impressive plumber. I was having trouble with my toilet leaking and needed urgent help. He was more than willing to help. He fixed my toilet and cleaned everything up and I thanked him for coming to my emergency. He said no problem and if you have any other questions or issues don’t hesitate to call him. He looked at some other things I claimed to be issues in the house. Ryan said I can take care of those issues just call. I feel like this is my new problem solver for my plumbing needs. Thank you Roto-rooter and Ryan Leary.

I called on the morning of 1/22/26 at 5:18am and left a message. I received a call back less than 15 minutes later. I explained that nothing would drain in my bathroom and I've had problems with roots growing into the waste pipe in the past. I was told someone would be there between 8:30 and 9:30am and someone would call when they were on the way. This is EXACTLY what happened. The serviceman (Keith) was thorough and professional and even cleared the waste pipe twice to make sure it was clear. The pricing was very fair especially considering the effort he out into making sure the job was done. Paul Anderson was referred to me from a plumber I know and I would not hesitate to refer them to others. Thank you.

We had a huge problem the cast iron sewer pipe leaving our home was cracked leaking raw sewage in our cellar. The sewer line left our home directly under our brand new 23ft x 13ft deck so digging a new sewer line would have been a huge expense. Justin and his crew came in and was able to reline the existing sewer pipe. They spent a whole day descaling and cleaning the existing pipe prior to installing the new liner. His crew Tommy and Jesse were polite and professional. Reliable Sewer and Drain also had the best price. If you have a sewer or drain problem I would not hesitate to use Reliable Sewer and Drain company

I had situation/clog uncovered right before an epic snowfall and freezing weather and they were great! Saved me from needing to dig up my driveway and thousands of $. I’m so grateful for the help. I also appreciated their direct communication and explanation for what they were doing, and their patience in dealing with a stressed out homeowner. Thank you!!

We had a clogged drain that led from our washer to a dry well. Jesse troubleshooted the problem, snaked the drain and quickly got the drain flowing again. Jessie was professional and knowledgeable. We appreciated the timely response and excellent service. Would not hesitate to use this company again.

These guys are awesome! Fixed a leaking pipe (under toilet) this time. Seemed like a big job to me but in no time, they were finished. Leave everything spotless everytime. (In August they replaced an outside faucet, fixed a leaking sink drain, repositioned the shut off valve) David is amazing, knows his stuff along with his patience and kindness..the guy he worked with was also great. It's so nice knowing you can rely on Quahog Plumbing, 3 times for me now, not one complaint..reasonable prices also. Thanks again guys!

We had an amazing experience with Quahog Plumbing today! The pressure in our water boiler dropped and our heat was barely coming through our radiators. Quahog came the next morning and fixed everything same day! Sergio was kind and personable and he explained everything that he was doing. He also found an additional issue that our previous plumber had missed, and also fixed that the same day! The work is well done and beautifully finished. As new homeowners we really valued that Sergio explained our heating system to us and really went the extra mile in making sure that we had all of our radiators working. We highly recommend!

Shane was out within three hours of our call and gave us a few options to take care of our clog and pipe replacement. The quote and work were completed within two hours. They were very professional and explained everything as the work was being done. He gave us tips for keeping the pipes in good shape. Very satisfied with our experience.

I have a membership with them. They come as soon as you call. The cast iron stack pipe in my 100+ year old house rusted out. As you can see from the photos, they cut out the rusted pipe & installed PVC. They responded promptly, gave me an estimate upfront & that is what I paid. They cleaned up when they were done. The repair man also noticed a leaking water line. He fixed that also. I have never been disappointed with Mr Rooter/Greenwood Plumbing.

We had 2 very old direct vent gas wall heaters replaced. Evan and Steve are the best. They explained everything and did a awesome job for never putting in these Rianni heaters . Kept me informed and answered all my questions and eased my concerns . Couldn't of asked for two better guys. The electrician and his assistant were outstanding with the fact the house was built in 1925 with older wiring . Chen and his assistant installed 2 dedicated circuit for both heaters to run on and it works out great as now my air conditioner will run on the dedicated circuit this summer. Would recommend all of them for future heating needs .

What an excellent experience! The folks at GEM are clearly experts in their fields. The work is top-notch and the technicians were friendly and engaging. They walked me through the installation process step-by-step and also recommended some much-needed improvements to my existing system. I’ll be working with them on future projects!

We put in a ductless system on the 2nd floor (3 units) and a ducted system on the 1st floor w/ a separate dehumidifier unit also connected to basement and the first floor vent system. Pros: Adam and his crew were all polite and respectful to my family and my home. They took the time to explain in layman terms the daily update including any questions at anytime. The Cons do not reflect Adam and his crew in anyway- they just had to do the explaining of why was promised won’t work. Thus preventing us to give a 5 star. Cons: The “Walk Through” (AFTER YOU SIGN THE CONTRACT) in preparation for install, is done by employees that are not going to install it! In the end, where the heat pump was suppose to go in the basement was incorrect, where the outdoor unit was suppose to go was incorrect and worst of all, all intake vents were suppose to be out of sight. But as you can see from the above picture- 1 is not in the formal dining room. An installer should have been involved in the “Walk Through.” Lastly, the contract leads you to believe that you get the “Gem Home Comfort Club Membership” for free for 1 year - I was told by the electrician and their home office it was an extra $500 fee.

Professional Drain Cleaning in Providence

Dealing with a stubborn clog in the Creative Capital shouldn't be a stressful ordeal. From the historic triple-deckers in Federal Hill to the modern apartments overlooking the Providence River, local plumbing systems face unique challenges. Our specialized service takes the frustration out of the search process by acting as your personal dispatcher. We don't just provide a list of names; we actively filter our network of certified Providence plumbers based on your specific zip code. Most importantly, we call them ourselves to verify they have the tools and the time to handle your specific drain emergency today. Whether you are dealing with a slow kitchen sink or a major sewer backup, we ensure the professional who arrives is ready to work.

Common Drain Issues in Providence

Historic Infrastructure: Many Providence homes, particularly on the East Side and in the West End, feature aging clay or cast-iron pipes. These materials are highly susceptible to cracks and scale buildup, requiring professional cleaning techniques that won't damage the integrity of old plumbing.

Invasive Tree Roots: The lush canopies in neighborhoods like Elmhurst and Blackstone provide beautiful scenery but pose a threat underground. Tree roots are a leading cause of sewer line obstructions in Providence, often requiring high-pressure hydro-jetting to clear.

Cold Weather Grease Solidification: During the freezing Rhode Island winters, grease and fats poured down drains solidify much faster within the pipes. This leads to frequent 'fatberg' clogs in residential kitchen lines that common hardware store chemicals simply cannot dissolve.

Basement Drain Backups: Due to Providence's proximity to the Narragansett Bay and the local water table, basement floor drains are prone to backing up during heavy New England rainstorms if they aren't kept clear of silt and debris.

Seasonal Drain Maintenance Tips for Providence

Spring Maintenance: After the ground thaws, have your main sewer line inspected. The shift in soil during the Rhode Island spring can cause older pipes to settle or crack, leading to new blockages.

Summer Root Prevention: Early summer is the peak growing season for trees. If you have large maples or oaks near your sewer line, a preventative snaking can stop roots from taking hold.

Autumn Leaf Clearing: Ensure all outdoor area drains and gutter downspouts are clear of fallen leaves. Providence's heavy autumn foliage can quickly lead to perimeter drainage issues and basement seepage.

Winter Pipe Protection: Before the first deep freeze, ensure your indoor drains are flowing freely. A partial clog in the winter is more likely to lead to a full freeze-up, which can cause pipes to burst in unheated areas of the home.

Average Drain Cleaning Costs in Providence

$175-$525

The cost of drain cleaning in Providence typically depends on the location of the clog, the age of the plumbing system, and the equipment required (such as motorized snakes vs. hydro-jetting).
