Somerville homes built before 1950 in neighborhoods such as Davis Square and Union Square frequently develop drain blockages from aging cast-iron lines and nearby tree roots along Broadway and Winter Hill streets.
Cold winters send temperatures low enough to freeze shallow pipes, while summer humidity increases grease buildup in lines that run under narrow lots common in East Somerville and Teele Square.
Massachusetts Drain Cleaning crews leave the New Bedford shop at 339 Mill St each weekday by 8am and reach Somerville via I-93 before noon, returning the same day after clearing lines in Assembly Square or Ball Square.

Drain Cleaning in Somerville — Local Notes
- •Narrow one-way streets around Union Square require smaller service vans and advance parking coordination.
- •Many properties in Winter Hill and East Somerville still use clay or Orangeburg pipe that cracks under heavy traffic vibration from MA-28.
- •City permits are required for any excavation deeper than 12 inches on public ways near Somerville City Hall.
- •Assembly Row mixed-use buildings have shared laterals that demand camera inspection before hydro-jetting.
