Water · Drains
Drains cleared for good, not just for now.
Camera-first diagnosis, professional augers and hydro jetting. We find what's actually blocking the line, then make it gone.
A drain that keeps backing up isn't bad luck. It's a line with a problem: roots at a joint, a belly holding sludge, grease closing the pipe an inch a year, or fifty-year-old cast iron flaking from the inside. SOS clears Rhode Island drains with the right tool for the actual cause, and we show you the proof on camera.
A sewer camera turns guesswork into a diagnosis. Before recommending anything beyond a simple auger job, we run a camera and show you exactly what's down there, and give you the footage. If a previous company quoted you a dig, a second opinion with our camera can save five figures.
Where a cable punches a hole through a clog, a jetter scours the full diameter of the pipe wall with up to 4,000 PSI of water: cutting roots, stripping grease, and flushing scale out of the line. It's the difference between a drain that works this week and one that works for years.

How a rescue works
No phone tree, no callback queue. Describe the problem and we dispatch the nearest tech, same-day for most calls, immediately for emergencies.
The tech diagnoses on site, walks you through options, and quotes flat pricing before any work begins. You approve, or you don't. No surprises on the invoice.
Stocked vans mean most repairs finish in one visit. We protect floors, wear boot covers, and leave the space cleaner than we found it.
Workmanship is guaranteed and every tech is licensed and insured in Rhode Island. If something isn't right, we come back. That's the whole policy.
No phone tag
Four fields, no account, no spam, a dispatcher reads it and calls you back. Emergency? Skip the form: (401) 601-5040 is answered 24/7.
Signals received
"We called SOS for a leaky fixture, and they were quick to respond. Came right out and replaced gaskets instead of the whole fixture. Another plumber quoted over $1000 before they saw what we needed… we will call them again if we ever need anything."
"Excellent crew!! Jose and Matt came early in the timeframe the office provided and were professional and friendly the entire time, explaining everything along the way… this company is HONEST and upfront about pricing. The job was less entailed than originally thought, so my final cost was reduced dramatically."
"Diagnosed on a Saturday, whole house filtration, well tank, 50% of my pipes, and hot water tank installed on Wednesday. Great service and well done, neat work!"

Good questions
Simple drain clearing is a flat-rate visit quoted before we start. Main-line work depends on what the camera finds. You'll see the footage and approve the price before anything happens.
Yes, when it's preceded by a camera inspection, which is our standard practice. We verify pipe condition first and adjust pressure accordingly. Jetting is gentler than repeated cable snaking on fragile lines.
Because a cable makes a hole in the clog rather than removing it. Grease, scale and roots stay on the pipe wall and regrow. A camera inspection finds the cause; jetting removes it.
They don't break in. They grow in, through tiny gaps at pipe joints, then expand. Jetting with a root-cutting nozzle clears them; the camera tells us whether the joint needs a spot repair to keep them out.
Yes, sewage backing up is an emergency whenever it happens, and our 24/7 line dispatches drain calls on weekends and holidays at the same flat pricing we quote in advance.
Grease is the big one. It coats the pipe warm and sets cold, narrowing the line an inch a year. Coffee grounds, rice and 'flushable' wipes are the other repeat offenders we pull out of Rhode Island drains.
