Atlanta Drain Cleaning

Over time, kitchen drains may experience reduced flow and become clogged due to the accumulation of greases, soaps, fats, and detergents inside the pipes (learn why you should never pour grease and oil down a sink). Bathroom sink drains are also exposed to a host of drain-clogging substances. Soap scum, hair, beard trimmings, toothpaste, beauty products, and other substances often wind up going down the drain, sticking to the inside walls of the drainpipe, and gradually building up into a clog. 

When you need emergency drain cleaning in Atlanta, you can count on fast, reliable service from Roto-Rooter. Our state-of-the-art Roto-Rooter sink machines skillfully cut through clogs, remove debris, and fully restore your kitchen sink drain to its original functionality.

Floor drains in basements, laundry rooms, and garages are designed to quickly drain away water. Should these drains clog, water can back up into these spaces and cause the damage they were designed to prevent. Because these drains are built into the floor, they can collect lots of debris over time. Believe it or not, many people sweep their floors and push dust and debris into floor drains instead of using a dust pan! Roto-Rooter technicians can thoroughly clean floor drains, removing clogs and obstructions to ensure that your floor drains will work as designed.

Outdoor drains include underground pipes connected to gutters, trench drains, channel drains, and sewer pipes. Roto-Rooter utilizes electromechanical Roto-Rooter machines to clean drains and clear blockages. Underground corrugated pipes require special care due to their ribbed construction and require the use of specialized hand tools.

Atlanta buildings and homes with older plumbing systems may suffer from water or sewer backups caused by damaged drains. Roto-Rooter plumbers can inspect drainage systems using waterproof video cameras on long cables to check for damage. If necessary, Roto-Rooter can repair or replace damaged drain lines as needed.

Roto-Rooter specializes in drain and sewer excavation. We can locate, excavate, and repair or replace drains using conventional digging techniques. We also provide trenchless, Zero-Dig pipe restoration services to repair or replace damaged pipes. This service is especially useful if the pipe is located beneath buildings, driveways, sidewalks, large landscaping beds, parking lots, trees, or other structures. Zero-Dig pipe restoration allows home and business owners to avoid the expensive collateral damage that is associated with conventional digging.

Commercial drain clogs often require different cleaning techniques than residential drains, and commercial drains clog more frequently and are more likely to become clogged with tough-to-remove items, including mop strings, plastic straws, utensils, and other foreign objects. Commercial drain clogs in busy restaurants or institutional kitchens are often caused by foreign objects or by a buildup of food grease. If mechanical cleaning proves ineffective, Roto-Rooter provides high-pressure water jetting services to dislodge foreign objects and dissolve and flush out grease or sludge. Roto-Rooter has almost a century of experience cleaning commercial drains. 

In addition to floor and sink drains, Roto-Rooter provides commercial roof drain cleaning to Atlanta businesses, using mechanical or high-pressure water jets to clean roof drain pipes and water collection drains from one end to the other.
