Clogged drains and backed-up sewer lines are the work people describe hiring Just Drains to handle. The Hyde Park company says it is family-owned and has provided drain cleaning and sewer services since 1988. Its website advertises residential, commercial and municipal work throughout Massachusetts and from Massachusetts to Pennsylvania. A condo trustee writing on Google in July 2026 recommended Larry after using him for unit owners’ drain and plumbing problems. In an October 2024 review, a customer with a clogged tub and a leak praised his prompt communication and service, along with preventative maintenance advice. Another customer, writing in March 2023, said Larry worked on a complicated job until after midnight to finish it. Older customers described sewer work in more detail. In a January 2014 Angi review, a homeowner with tree roots backing up the main sewer line said Larry arrived Monday morning after a Sunday call, scoped the line, cut out roots and applied RootX. The customer also praised a reduced charge after spending money on unsuccessful work by another plumber. In April 2014, an Angi reviewer said Just Drains cleared a shower drain the day after a Sunday call, but the customer declined a proposed camera inspection of the main line when told the camera alone would cost about $300. Two Google customers described difficulties getting receipts. A December 2023 reviewer said a jetting and camera job on October 18, 2023 cost $950, but an invoice supplied after two months showed $694. The customer said attempts to correct it led to disrespectful exchanges and a disconnected call. A December 2021 reviewer said Larry could not locate and mark a sewage problem for excavation, requiring another plumber to do that work. That customer also reported paying $500 and being refused a promised receipt after repeated calls. Google lists a 4.1-star average from 23 ratings; Angi lists 5.0 from three. BBB gives Just Drains a B grade, lists one complaint and says it is not accredited. Its stated history also varies: the company claims 38 years in business, while BBB lists 25 and Angi lists 41.
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!
