Drain and sewer cleaning in Melrose, MA

Melrose is known for its older and Victorian-era homes, and older homes have older drain lines. We clear drains and sewer lines in Melrose 24/7.

Older homes, older lines

A house that is a century old may still have its original cast iron or clay drain pipes. Cast iron builds up scale inside over the years; clay pipe comes in short sections whose joints are an easy way in for roots. Both end up catching paper and waste until the line stops.

We clear these lines with a cable, and when the pipe is heavily scaled or rooted, with high-pressure water jetting.

Know what you have

If you have a Melrose home with its original pipes, a video inspection is a smart move. It shows whether the line is still in good shape, where roots are getting in, and where the line runs, before a backup forces the question.

Questions from Melrose

My house is over 100 years old. Should I have the sewer line checked?

It is worth it, especially if you have had a backup before or there are big trees near the line. A camera inspection shows the pipe's condition without digging.
