Drain-A-Way says it's been clearing drains out of Boylston since 1972 — the company's own claim — and describes itself on its site as family and locally owned. It lists mechanical drain cleaning, high-pressure water jetting of sewers and storm drains, and camera pipeline inspections for homeowners, businesses and plumbers, with same-day emergency service across southern and central New England. The review record is thin — six on Google between 2021 and 2024 — but each one names a different technician: Dave, David, Scott, Bobby and Phil each show up in a separate review, handling the job themselves start to finish. In a 2021 review, a customer described a washer draining into a shower and flooding the bathroom and laundry room; Phil fixed it the same day the customer called, in time for Thanksgiving. In a 2022 review, Bobby unclogged a tub, diagnosed the problem quickly, and left the site spotless at what the customer called a reasonable price. Worth a call for a clogged drain, tub, or a sewer/storm-drain jetting job — a Reddit commenter also named them specifically for inspection and cleaning work. With only six reviews on file, it's a smaller sample than some other drain specialists in the area.

Drain-A-Way was very responsive. Dave was my plumber, and he was professional, very nice, and was great at explaining things. He and his assistant made sure everything was clean before they left. Highly recommend. And I hope you get Dave👍
I had a fantastic experience with Drain-a-way today. David was exceptional—respectful, kind, and pleasant. He quickly and efficiently resolved my washer line clog, explaining the issue and how he would fix it. Highly recommend their service! Thank you David and Drain-a-way.
David did a fabulous job! I'm grateful for his help.
Professional, reliable and very knowledgeable. It was a pleasure working with Scott.
I hit a bulls eye when I hired Drain-A-Way to unclog my tub. Bobby did an outstanding job. He diagnosed the problem very quickly and the drain was cleared in no time He was very personable and I enjoyed talking with him. He left the place spotless. The price was very reasonable. I highly recommend them and will use them again when the need arises.
