A slow-draining sink or a completely blocked shower is more than just an inconvenience—it’s a frustrating disruption to your daily life. When water won’t go where it’s supposed to, you need a fast, reliable solution. At N.E.T.R., Inc., our certified plumbers provide expert drain clearing services throughout Massachusetts, ensuring your plumbing system runs smoothly with no sweat and no stress.
Signs You Need Professional Drain Clearing
Ignoring a minor clog can lead to bigger, more expensive problems. If you notice any of these common warning signs, it’s time to call in the experts:
- Slow Draining: If water pools in your sink, shower, or tub long after the faucet is off, it’s a primary indicator of a developing blockage.
- Frequent Clogs: Do you find yourself constantly battling the same clogged drain? This suggests a deeper obstruction that DIY methods can’t reach.
- Unpleasant Odors: Foul smells coming from your drains are often caused by trapped food particles, grease, and other decomposing waste building up in your pipes.
- Gurgling Sounds: Strange gurgling noises after you flush a toilet or run a faucet mean air is trapped in the pipes, struggling to get past a clog.
- Water Backups: The most serious sign is water backing up out of a different drain. For example, if flushing a toilet causes water to appear in the shower, you may have a sewer line clog that requires immediate attention.
Our Expert Drain Clearing Methods
Unlike store-bought chemical cleaners, which can corrode your pipes and often fail to solve the underlying problem, our professional techniques are safe and effective. Depending on the nature and location of the clog, our technicians will use the right tools for the job:
Professional Drain Snaking: A motorized drain snake, or auger, is a powerful tool that can break up or pull out stubborn blockages deep within your plumbing. This method is highly effective for clogs caused by hair, soap scum, and foreign objects.
Hydro Jetting: For severe blockages from grease, sludge, or even tree roots, hydro jetting is the ultimate solution. This advanced technique uses high-pressure water to blast away buildup and scour the inside of your pipes, leaving them completely clean and helping to prevent future clogs.
Common Causes of Clogged Drains in Massachusetts Homes
Understanding what causes blockages is the first step in preventing them. Our technicians routinely clear drains clogged by:
- Hair and Soap Scum: In bathrooms, hair is a top offender, binding with soap residue to form stubborn clogs in showers and sinks.
- Grease, Oil, and Fats: In the kitchen, pouring cooking grease down the drain is a recipe for disaster. As it cools, it solidifies on pipe walls, trapping food particles and creating tough blockages.
- Food Waste: Even with a garbage disposal, items like coffee grounds, eggshells, and fibrous vegetable peels can accumulate and obstruct water flow.
- “Flushable” Wipes & Paper Products: Many products marketed as “flushable,” including paper towels and hygiene products, do not break down like toilet paper and are a leading cause of sewer line backups.
- Tree Roots: On older properties, tree roots can infiltrate underground sewer lines through small cracks, causing severe and damaging blockages over time.

Frequently Asked Questions
Clearing Services FAQs
Have questions about drain or sewer clearing? We have answers.
How long does professional drain clearing take?
Timing depends on where the blockage sits and how severe it is. A simple sink or shower clog often takes about 45 to 90 minutes. Main sewer line issues that include camera inspection or jetting can take one to three hours. After a quick assessment we share an estimated timeline before work begins.
What causes drain clogs?
Common culprits include hair, grease and cooking oils, starches and coffee grounds, soap scum, “flushable” wipes, mineral scale, and small objects. In older systems, root intrusion and sagging or cracked pipes can also slow flow. Identifying the source helps us prevent repeat blockages.
Is professional drain clearing safe for my pipes?
Yes, when the method matches your pipe material and condition. Our licensed technicians choose the right cable size or jetting setup and adjust pressure as needed. If a line is fragile or damaged, we use gentler techniques and may recommend repair options to protect the system.
How much does drain clearing cost?
Pricing varies with the type of line involved, the severity and location of the clog, access, and the equipment required such as cabling, camera inspection, or hydro jetting. You receive upfront pricing after diagnosis, along with clear options. Financing is available for larger repairs.
