Boston Drain Cleaning
Roto-Rooter is renowned for our expertise in sewer and drain cleaning. Boston residents often experience drain emergencies, from clogged residential drains to blocked sewer lines. Our team of Roto-Rooter plumbers excels at resolving drain issues, from residential drain obstructions to commercial drain maintenance.
Why is Drain Cleaning Necessary?
Drain cleaning in Boston is essential for maintaining the proper functioning of plumbing systems. Over time, hair, grease, soap scum, food particles, mineral deposits, and other substances accumulate in drains. These deposits cause clogs, diminished water flow, and drainage problems. When this occurs, users may notice slow-draining sinks, weak toilet flushes, foul odors, water backups in showers and tubs, and potential water damage from backups and overflows.
Here are the key reasons why professional drain cleaning in Boston is necessary:
Drain Cleaning Services Offered in Boston
Kitchen Drain Cleaning
Kitchen drains see significant amounts of wear and tear. Over time, kitchen drains often experience reduced flow and eventually clog entirely due to the accumulation of grease, food scraps, soaps, fats, and detergents inside the pipes (learn why you should never pour grease and oil down a sink). Our advanced Roto-Rooter sink machines skillfully cut through clogs, eliminate debris, and fully restore your kitchen sink drain to its original capacity and functionality. We don’t just open your drain; we thoroughly clean the entire pipe to ensure it remains clear and open longer.
Bathroom Drain Cleaning
Bathroom sink drains are exposed to a host of drain-clogging substances. Soap scum, hair, beard trimmings, toothpaste, beauty products, and other substances find their way down the drain, sticking to the inside walls of the drainpipe and gradually forming clogs. Roto-Rooter quickly restores proper flow to your bathroom drains and thoroughly cleans the pipe from end to end.
Bathtub Drain Cleaning
Bathtub and shower drains accumulate a sticky mixture of soap scum, hair, and hygiene products, reducing water flow. A Roto-Rooter machine in the hands of an experienced service technician swiftly addresses such clogs, restoring your bathtub and shower drains to full functionality.
Floor Drain Cleaning
Floor drains in laundry rooms, driveways, and garages are designed to drain away water quickly. Because these drains are built into the floor, they accumulate substantial dirt and debris over time. When floor drains clog, water can back up and overflow into the surrounding space, causing the very damage they should prevent. Roto-Rooter is here to clear and clean your clogged floor drain. In cases of drain overflow, we offer water extraction and drying services.
Outdoor Drain Cleaning
Outdoor drains include underground pipes connected to gutters, trench drains, channel drains, and sewer pipes. Underground corrugated pipes require special cleaning regimens due to their ribbed construction. Our West Des Moines, Iowa, factory manufactures the world's most potent and effective mechanical sewer and drain cleaning machines, exclusive to authentic Roto-Rooter branches.
Commercial Drain Cleaning
A commercial drain can 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 and by a buildup of food grease. If mechanical cleaning proves ineffective, Roto-Rooter provides high-pressure water jetting services to dislodge foreign objects, dissolving and flushing grease or sludge to restore proper drain flow. Roto-Rooter has over 90 years of experience cleaning commercial drains, and we offer scheduled drain maintenance programs to keep commercial drains from clogging in the first place.
Commercial Roof Drains
In addition to floor and sink drains, Roto-Rooter provides commercial roof drain cleaning to Boston, MA, using mechanical or high-pressure water jets to clean roof drain pipes and water collection drains from one end to the other. Commercial roof drains include gutters, scuppers, downspouts, and inner drains. A clogged commercial roof drain can damage your building and its contents, especially if your property has a flat roof. Roto-Rooter will work with you to create a drain cleaning maintenance schedule for your roof.
Residential Roof Drains
Residential gutters include gutters, scuppers, and inner drains connecting underground drainage systems. Leaves, twigs, insect nests, and plant life can clog a residential roof drain, causing water to pool on or near your roof, where it can rot wood trim or leak into attics. Roto-Rooter has the tools and safety equipment to clear the underground pipes that connect your roof drains to storm drains.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How do you know if your drains need cleaning?
Any drain that’s draining slowly needs cleaning to restore proper flow. If multiple drains in your home or business drain slowly, the problem may lie in your main sewer line.
Roto-Rooter has the tools to thoroughly clean and unclog residential and commercial drains. We use the best drain cleaning equipment in the industry, manufactured and assembled in our factory in West Des Moines, Iowa.
How often should drains be cleaned?
How often you clean your drain depends on usage and what goes down the drain. For instance, substances like hair and grease are notorious for causing severe clogs. Typically, older residential drains benefit from an annual cleaning, while high-usage drains, such as those found in restaurants or institutional kitchens, may need cleaning every three months. Commercial drains require more frequent cleaning, sometimes as often as every month. Roto-Rooter offers scheduled commercial drain cleaning services in Boston that significantly reduce the likelihood of drainage issues.
Can I clean my drains or hire a professional?
Homeowners can often clear simple clogs using plungers, hand augers, and drain snakes. However, hiring a professional drain cleaning service company for more stubborn clogs in branch drain lines or main sewers is best to ensure a thorough and safe cleaning. Professional-grade sewer cleaning machines can be dangerous in the hands of inexperienced operators.
