Cape Drain & Rooter is a small, drain-and-sewer specialty outfit on Cape Cod, run day-to-day by Curran Kelly and his brother Patrick. The work sits in plumbing's messiest corner — clogged drains, sewer lines, camera inspections — and answering the phone quickly has become a recurring theme in reviews: several describe Curran picking up within a ring or two, even on emergency calls. Thirty-nine Google reviews, nearly all from the past year, are five stars without a single negative one in the mix. The specifics repeat: same-day visits, clear explanations of what's actually wrong before any work starts, and prices reviewers call fair or reasonable. A June 2026 review described clearing a drain that had reportedly been clogged for 25 years; a July 2026 review described diagnosing and repairing a crumbling pipe between a house and its septic system the same day it was called in; and a December 2025 review described fixing three radiators at a historic home, including one that multiple prior plumbers had said couldn't be repaired at all. For a stubborn clog, a sewer backup, or an emergency plumbing problem on the Cape, Cape Drain & Rooter has built a strikingly consistent record of fast, well-explained, fairly priced fixes — the kind of pattern that's hard to find across even a handful of reviews, let alone forty.

I am extremely happy with Cape Drain & Rooter! I had a badly clogged kitchen sink, and they were the third company I called after two other companies were unable to clear the pipe. Cape Drain & Rooter got the job done! I only wish I had called them first. If you have a stubborn clog, save yourself the time and hassle and call Cape Drain & Rooter first. Highly recommend!
Cape Drain & Rooter is by far the best of all companies on the Cape, Ive had the pleasure of dealing with. Curran is honest, straight forward, affordable & fast. They go in, diagnose the problem & fix the issue immediately. I would highly recommend this company if you have issues with your drains or sewers. I had a septic issue where the roots from a tree invaded a pipe through the baffle and clogged the system, therefore resulting in a backup from the toilet, leaking basement pipes & overflowing the septic in the front yard. 3 companies came in & tried to fix the issue but kept diagnosing the wrong problem. Curran fixed the problem in minutes and was incredibly fair with his pricing. I gave them 5 stars hands down & I don't often give out stars easily. Cape Drain & rooter deserve 10 stars! Thank you Curran.
Easy as can be. I needed help and was able to make an appointment exactly when I needed it. These guys were so easy to work with, friendly, pleasant, and did a great job! They are also consistent communicators, I felt so much relief. I’d trust them again in a heartbeat.
Curran & Patrick were prompt, professional and knowledgeable. They came the same day as call. Communication was excellent. If needed l, we will go with Curran and his team without hesitation. The problem was fixed promptly.
I had an emergency plumbing issue, and the response was quick and completed professionally. They arrived on time, diagnosed the problem right away, and had everything repaired efficiently. They took the time to explain what was wrong, answered my questions, and made sure everything was working properly before they left. Pricing was fair for the timely work completed. Highly recommend Cape Drain & Rooter to anyone looking for fast, honest, and professional plumbing services.
