24Hr Drain Cleaning & Plumbing

24Hr Drain Cleaning & Plumbing is a Lynn, one-person-forward operation built around Chris (Christopher), who answers the phone and shows up to nearly every one of the 105 reviews on file from 2023 through 2026. The pattern across that history is remarkably consistent: fast response — often within the hour, including nights, weekends, and holidays — clear explanation of the problem, and, according to many reviewers, no attempt to upsell. The specifics back up the responsiveness. A 2023 review described Chris being the first to pick up the phone late on Labor Day for a backed-up tenant unit and showing up on time within the hour. A 2025 review described a main drain scoped and camera-inspected before being cleared, with the technician explaining exactly what was found along the way. Several reviewers describe clogs cleared in under an hour, and more than one mentions Chris declining a tip. Honesty about pricing comes up again and again — reviewers describe being told the price before work started, not being pushed into work they didn't need, and in one case a Thumbtack review noting he charged the amount originally quoted even though the job ran longer than expected due to old plumbing. That makes one review stand out by contrast. A December 2024 one-star review described paying a $100 service call fee, only to be told immediately afterward that the actual fix would cost $450 more — calling the arrangement deceptive. It's a serious complaint, and a real outlier against dozens of reviews describing exactly the opposite experience with the same person. The company also carries a 4.7-star rating on Thumbtack from a dozen reviews, echoing the same upfront, no-pressure approach described on Google. The work itself is squarely drain and clog work: kitchen and bathroom sink clogs, shower and tub drains, main line clearing with camera inspection, and emergency after-hours calls. Anyone in the Lynn area with a stubborn or urgent drain problem is who these reviews describe being served quickly and, in the overwhelming majority of accounts, fairly — though the one pricing complaint is worth keeping in mind, and it's worth asking for a firm, itemized quote before agreeing to any additional work beyond the service call.
