Just Drains is the kind of Hyde Park plumber people call when a drain or sewer problem will not wait. The company says it has provided drain-cleaning and sewer services since 1988, is family-owned, and serves residential, commercial, and municipal customers across Massachusetts and from Massachusetts to Pennsylvania. Its stated menu includes plumbing installation and repair, drains, water jetting, water lines, gas fitting, and water heaters. The strongest recent account is a July 2026 Google review from a condo trustee who said Larry handled owners’ drain and plumbing problems and recommended him. Older reviews repeatedly describe fast response, fair pricing, persistence on difficult drain work, and clear explanations; a 2023 customer said Just Drains used jetting and helped identify a sabotaged toilet drain, while another 2023 reviewer praised an unusually complicated job completed after midnight. The written history is dated, running from 2012 through 2026, and it is not uniformly positive: a December 2023 reviewer disputed a $950 jet-and-camera charge, and a 2021 reviewer complained about lateness and difficulty locating a sewer issue. Before booking, ask exactly what a camera inspection, jetting, and any follow-up excavation will cost, and what is included in the quoted work. That is especially worth clarifying because the written reviews include both praise for fair pricing and a dated pricing dispute. The Better Business Bureau lists the company as non-accredited with a B grade and one complaint. Just Drains looks best suited to homeowners and property managers who need drain, sewer, and plumbing troubleshooting, particularly when the problem is urgent or technically difficult. Confirm the scope, price, and timing in writing before work starts, and treat the company’s Massachusetts plumbing-license search as unresolved rather than verified: the state lookup returned no matching record.
I’m a Trustee at a Condo complex… The few times we had to use him for Unit Owners drain/plumbing problems…he has helps us out tremendously… Larry is absolutely the best.. I highly recommend him.
We had a tub clogged and leak and Larry from Just Drains was very prompt on communication and service. Also, he freely gave preventative maintenance instructions and advice. We are VERY pleased with the work and professional demeanor! Thank you!
I only gave 1 star because I had to. On 10/18/23 this business did a $950 job where they had to run a Jet in my main pipe and also have a camera go in the pipe. This job cost $950. The job breakdown was $600 for the Jet and $350 for the use of a camera. After making payment a receipt was requested. After 2 months of excuses, this business provided an incorrect invoice for the amount of $694. (If only that was what was paid). When the business, specifically Larry, was informed that that was the incorrect amount, he instantly became very disrespectful. Stating he will send the correct amount but then his "modem" happens to stop working upon this request. Keep in mind minutes before, he sent the incorrect invoice with no problems. It's hard to not feel like this business is not trying to cheat on taxes. It seems like they may be trying to illegally avoid paying income and sales taxes or likely keeping no or fake books for tax reasons due to their reluctance to give a receipt for services that were performed. A professional, legitimate, licensed, and properly insured contractor will give you a receipt without you having to ask for it. Don't even do it to yourself. Go to another company that is more legit! Larry called me back so eager after my voicemail left inquiring services until he found out who I was then did his favorite thing, Hang up the phone on me. Who wants to do business with that.
Just Drains, Bail me out from a drain clog that would cost a lot of money due to the lack of experience from others who didn't know what they were doing. Just Drains also helped me discover how the tenant was maliciously sabotaging the toilet drain on the premises. I was able to give that tenant a notice to quit for cause because this is the 3rd time this has happened. We contacted Just Drains for help because other plumbers could not solve the problem without trying to charge some crazy prices. Just Drains deserved a five-star under me.
Very fast, honest and fairly priced. Larry can take of your plumbing needs!
