Stan was excellent! Showed us exactly what was wrong with our shower drain. Also let us know what we could get at Lowe’s to prevent stop ups in the future. Very thorough. Very professional! I got my shower back! Thank you! Lindsay S

Drain Cleaning Services

Kitchen Drain Cleaning

Your kitchen drain has to work hard to handle the waste that goes down it. Over time, this waste can lead to a buildup of grease, food scraps, soap scum, and other debris that reduces water flow or even causes a complete drain clog (learn why you should never pour grease and oil down a sink). 

Signs your drain may be clogged include:

  • Slow-draining or standing water
  • Gurgling noises as the sink drains
  • Bad smells from the drain (also called “sink stink”) 

If you're experiencing any of these signs, having your kitchen drain cleaned as soon as possible is important. 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 capacity and functionality. We don’t just open your drain; we completely clean the pipe from end to end so it stays open longer.

Bathroom Drain Cleaning

Bathroom drains are exposed to various 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 into a clog.  

Bathroom drains extend into the wall, far beyond the parts you can see. They connect to a branch drain that flows into your main sewer. Roto-Rooter specializes in swiftly restoring bathroom drain flow and thoroughly cleaning the pipe from end to end.

Bathroom Sink Drain Cleaning

Laundry Drain Cleaning

Laundry drains feature a J-shaped drain that connects the washing machine drainage hose to a wastewater pipe. Should this drain clog with lint or other debris, gray water from the machine will flood the surrounding area, potentially damaging your washer and dryer and other nearby property. Older homes face an additional challenge, as roots from trees and shrubs can infiltrate and clog the waste pipe. 

Roto-Rooter plumbers understand the importance of proper laundry drain maintenance. We’ll clean your laundry drain from end to end to ensure uninterrupted water flow.

Floor Drain Cleaning

Floor drains in laundry rooms, driveways, and garages are great for quickly removing water. But because they're built into the floor, they can easily get clogged with dirt and debris. Roto-Rooter can clear and clean your clogged floor drain quickly and efficiently. If your floor drain does overflow, we can help with water extraction and drying services.

Outdoor Drain Cleaning

Outdoor drains include underground pipes connected to gutters, trench drains, channel drains, and sewer pipes. Outdoor drains require specialized cleaning methods, such as water jetting and hand tools.

Commercial Drain Cleaning

Commercial drains clog more frequently and require different cleaning techniques than residential drains. A commercial drain can become clogged with tough-to-remove items, including mop strings, plastic straws, utensils, and other foreign objects. 

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 to get them draining like new. Roto-Rooter has decades of experience cleaning commercial drains, and we offer scheduled drain maintenance programs to keep commercial drains from clogging in the first place.

Residential Roof Drains

Residential gutters include gutters, scuppers, and inner drains connecting underground drainage systems. Everything from leaves and twigs to insect nests and plant life can clog a residential roof drain. Roof drain clogs cause water to pool on or near your roof, which can rot wood trim or leak into attics. 

Safety equipment is needed to protect against falls when working on roof drains and gutters. Roto-Rooter is a leading provider of roof drain cleaning and repair services. Our team of experienced and certified technicians can clear any outdoor drain clog, including those caused by tree roots, grease, and sediment.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How do you know if your drains need cleaning?

The following symptoms indicate your drains need cleaning:

  • Slow drainage
  • Unpleasant odors
  • Gurgling sounds as water drains
  • Outbreaks of drain flies
  • Visible debris 

If multiple drains on your property drain slowly, the problem may be a clogged or damaged main sewer line. Roto-Rooter has the tools to thoroughly clean and unclog residential and commercial drains. Our top-of-the-line drain cleaning equipment, crafted and assembled within our West Des Moines, Iowa factory, ensures we deliver quality service.

How often should drains be cleaned?

How often a drain needs cleaning depends on usage and what goes down the drain. Typically, older residential drains require annual cleaning, while high-usage drains, such as those found in restaurants or institutional kitchens, benefit from cleaning every three months. Laundry drains benefit from a cleaning every six months. 

Commercial drains require more frequent cleaning, sometimes as often as every month. Roto-Rooter offers scheduled drain maintenance programs that significantly reduce the likelihood a clog will impact your business.

Can I clean my drains, or should I hire a professional?

You can try to clear simple clogs yourself, but in many cases, it’s better to hire a professional. If the clog is deep in the pipes or caused by tree roots or other stubborn debris, you must hire a professional plumber. Professional-grade sewer cleaning machines can be dangerous in the hands of inexperienced operators.
