Drain Cleaning for Homes & Businesses in RI
Slow drains and backed-up pipes don’t fix themselves — and store-bought drain cleaner usually makes things worse. Anne the Plumber uses professional-grade equipment to clear stubborn clogs, tree root intrusions, and years of buildup in residential and commercial drain lines across Woonsocket and northern Rhode Island.
We handle kitchen drains, bathroom drains, floor drains, main sewer lines, and everything in between. If water isn’t flowing, we’ll figure out why and fix it.
Signs You Need Drain Cleaning
- Water draining slowly in sinks, tubs, or showers
- Gurgling sounds from drains or toilets
- Water backing up into other fixtures when you flush or run water
- Persistent bad smell from drains
- Multiple clogged drains at the same time (sign of a main line issue)
- Standing water in your basement floor drain
What to Expect
We start by diagnosing the blockage — for stubborn or recurring clogs, we may use a camera inspection to see exactly what’s going on in the line. Then we clear it with professional equipment: drain snakes and rooter machines depending on the severity.
Most residential drain cleanings take under an hour. We’ll also let you know if we see anything that could cause problems down the road, like root intrusion or pipe damage.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use chemical drain cleaner instead?
We don’t recommend it. Chemical drain cleaners can damage pipes — especially in older Rhode Island homes with cast iron or galvanized plumbing. Professional drain cleaning is safer and more effective.
How often should I have my drains cleaned?
We recommend preventative maintenance to keep your drains flowing smoothly. If you’re experiencing recurring clogs in the same drain, that’s a sign of a deeper problem worth inspecting.
