ABC Plumbing Drain Sewer Cleaning

Ten reviews, all five stars — ABC Plumbing Drain Sewer Cleaning is a small, Arlington-based operation run by a master plumber named Brian, focused on drain and sewer work with 24-hour emergency plumbing across Greater Boston. The company says it has worked out of Arlington, Cambridge and Somerville, and the towns around them, since 1996. The written record backs up the emergency-shop reputation. In a 2025 review, a homeowner described Brian cutting open a kitchen waste pipe in a 100-year-old house to clear a clog jammed with a chicken bone, then making a few minor improvements while he was there. Another customer recalled a waste-drain emergency Brian couldn't get to personally — rather than leave them stuck, he tracked down someone who could, and the pipe got fixed. A reviewer this spring singled him out for being upfront about pricing instead of padding the bill. The rest of the history, spanning 2021 through early 2026, tells the same story in shorter form: a garbage disposal swap, a water heater replacement, a toilet seal repair, each described as prompt and professional at the time. There's not much to flag before calling — the reviews lean toward drain and sewer emergencies rather than larger plumbing projects, so it's worth confirming upfront that whatever job is at hand is one they take on. For a clogged line or a middle-of-the-night leak in the Arlington area, the record here is a clean one.
