Bass Reddy-Rooter Sewer & Drain Cleaning

A tub that wouldn't drain on a Saturday night got a call back Sunday morning and a truck within a couple of hours — and, the customer wrote in a March 2018 review, no extra charge for the weekend. That is the job Bass Reddy-Rooter is built for: the drain or sewer line that quits at the wrong moment. BBB lists the New Bedford company as established in 1974 and family-owned. The written accounts run from 2018 to 2026 — four at five stars, one at four. In April 2018 a customer had a crew at the house within an hour of speaking with the owner; the job ran two hours because of extensive problems snaking the pipes, and the area was cleaned up before they left. A May 2018 review described a request answered immediately, an on-time arrival, work finished inside the customer's time restrictions, and additional issues addressed and coordinated; in August 2018 another called the technicians fair, thorough and courteous. The most recent account, from March 2026, is the kind of morning that puts this number in a phone: a homeowner described water coming from the downstairs shower drain onto the floor while the washing machine ran, and calling Bass Reddy on the way home from work. The service list goes well past a snake — high-pressure water jetting, pipe lining, smoke and dye testing, televised lines, catch basin cleaning, septic troubleshooting and cellars pumped. Angi and HomeAdvisor both list emergency service and put 55 years behind the name, while BBB dates the business to 1974. For a New Bedford drain or sewer line that has backed up, especially on a weekend, this is a reasonable first call. Ask what the visit covers if the line has to be jetted or televised rather than snaked, and confirm the weekend rate — the one customer who mentioned it was writing in 2018.
