East Coast Pipelines is a Quincy-based sewer and drain company, a sole proprietorship in business for 22 years, run day-to-day by Mike Walsh and Travis with technicians including Kenny and Vito. Homeowners and property managers across the South Shore and Boston call them for clogged mains, root-clogged sewer lines, camera inspections, and pipe relining. As of a March 2026 review, Mike cleared about four feet of tree roots from a main drain and walked the homeowner through the process before starting. In a 2025 review, Mike responded the same day to an emergency sewer backup and used a camera and high-pressure jet to clear the line. A 2023 review describes Travis putting a camera in a sewer line after another company had quoted a five-figure liner installation, and telling the customer they didn't actually need one — a second opinion that saved the money. In 2022, one homeowner said East Coast Pipelines was the only company out of six she called that could send someone the same day for a broken main sewage line, and it followed up with a video inspection for the city. Repeat customers, including a construction company and a Boston property manager, describe using the crew for years on recurring root and drainage issues. A 2024 review gave one star over a program the customer felt wasn't worth the cost, without detailing what the program covered or what went wrong. It's an outlier in an otherwise long run of five-star, detail-rich reviews — worth asking directly what any service plan includes before signing up for one. For a clogged or root-choked sewer line, especially one that needs camera diagnosis before a bigger repair, East Coast Pipelines has years of specific praise from repeat customers; if you're offered a maintenance program, get the terms in writing first.
Mike Walsh and his assistant did a wonderful job clearing out my main drain pipe of about 4 ft of roots with the utmost professionalism! Before doing the job Mike explained everything to me. He answered all my questions was extremely friendly professional and knowledgeable with my issue. Before going to any other company I highly recommend that you call this company for any issues that you are having with your main drain pipe in your house. I am so grateful that Mike was able to complete my job in just a few short hours he is awesome! Trish Gannon ☺️
I had an emergency sewer backup and Mike Walsh from East Coast Pipelines came out the same day to help. He was incredibly friendly, professional, and took the time to explain everything he was doing. He used a high-power jet machine and a sewer camera to clear a ton of roots from both my line and the shared main line out to the street. The work was extremely thorough — he didn’t rush, made multiple passes, and made sure everything was completely clear before he left. He even handed me a USB drive with the recorded camera footage without me even asking, which I really appreciated. For the amount of work involved, the price was more than fair. I really appreciate how responsive, honest, and easy to work with Mike was. I highly recommend East Coast Pipelines to anyone dealing with sewer line issues or root intrusions. Great service from a great company.
Tinory Construction Company LLC has used East Coast for years, always on time and work is impeccable. They represent service my customers and I can depend on time and time again.
We recently had high-pressure water jetting done on our main sewer line, and I couldn’t be more impressed with the results. The crew was professional, punctual, and clearly experienced. They explained everything upfront and used top-of-the-line equipment to completely clear out years of buildup in our sewer line. What really stood out was how thorough the cleaning was—far more effective than traditional snaking. You could literally hear the difference in water flow afterward. It gave us peace of mind knowing the line was completely flushed and running like new again. Highly recommend this service for anyone dealing with slow drains, recurring clogs, or just looking for preventative maintenance. Worth every penny!
With a quick response and availability East Coast was able to evaluate and track multiple drainage pipe runs. This helped avoid a costly mistake and plan for future improvements.
