How much does it cost to unclog a drain professionally?

Professional drain unclogging with Cranney Home Services typically costs $99 for our Drain Clearing Service, and if we can’t clear the drain, it’s free. Final pricing can change with clog severity and the method used, and we confirm your flat rate after an on-site diagnosis. Our crews handle these jobs every day across the Boston area. Upfront pricing means you’ll never pay more than you’re quoted, and your plumber will choose the right approach (snaking or hydro-jetting) based on what’s actually in the line.

Price drivers your tech will check include:

• Fixture drain versus main sewer line location
• Access points and length of pipe to clear
• Type of blockage (grease, hair, roots) and need for snaking or hydro-jetting
• Pipe condition and whether a camera inspection or repair is required

Avoid chemical drain cleaners and schedule service promptly if backups return or you smell sewage. <br/> Updated: 2026-03-29 <br/> Need help in Boston, MA? Call (978) 716-5703 or book online. “Service was thorough and clean.” — Elly M.
