Snake-It-Away is a Medford drain-and-sewer specialist serving a wide Boston-area footprint. The company says Richie Williams started it in 1997 and describes the business as family-owned, with his son working alongside the owners. The service mix is unusually specific: drain cleaning, snaking, hydro jetting, camera inspection, root removal, and sewer repair, including 24/7 emergency response. Angi lists 4.8 stars from 11 ratings, while the BBB lists an A+ rating and 30 years in business. The written reviews are dated, mostly from 2015–2016, but they repeatedly describe prompt arrival, clear communication, efficient drain clearing, and reasonable pricing. A 2016 customer said the crew cleared a badly clogged pipe with a three-year work guarantee; another described a jetter follow-up for a clogged drain. Snake-It-Away is a natural fit for blocked drains, sewer-line problems, and camera or jetting work across the Boston metro. Confirm the current scope, guarantee terms, and any emergency-call pricing before booking.
We loved our experience with Richie. We had a clogged sink drain and he fixed it in no time. Would hire again!
Richie and his team have always been very responsive whenever I've needed them.
I've known Richie and his family for many years now, so I can honestly say they are not only wonderful people, but true professionals. Richie is always punctual, professional, knowledgeable, and takes great pride in his work. He knows his business inside and out, and you can tell he genuinely cares about doing the job right. On top of that, he's funny, easy to talk to, and just an all-around great guy. As a family-owned business, Snake It Away has built its reputation on honesty, hard work, and treating customers like family. It's no surprise they've earned the trust and loyalty of so many people over the years. If you're looking for someone you can trust, I wholeheartedly recommend Richie and Snake It Away. They do exceptional work, stand behind it, and are simply good people. Supporting a local family business like theirs is an easy decision.
Richie and his team are always responsive and able to find a solution for my business no matter the issue!
