Why is Drain Cleaning Necessary?
Regular drain cleaning is crucial if you want a properly functioning plumbing system. As time passes, hair, grease, soap scum, food particles, mineral deposits, and other substances can accumulate in drains and cause clogs. These clogs can lead to slow-draining sinks, toilets, and showers, as well as foul odors and water damage.
Here are some compelling reasons to consider professional Detroit drain cleaning:
- Clog Prevention: Regular drain cleaning removes debris and buildup, allowing water to flow freely through drain pipes and the structure's main sewer line.
- Cost-Efficiency: Routine drain cleaning is much more cost-effective than repairing or replacing damaged pipes.
- Enhanced Water Flow: Drain cleaning restores optimal water flow throughout the drainage system, resulting in more efficient water drainage usage and reduced drain overflow risk.
- Environmental Benefits: Clear drains result in fewer blockages in residential or commercial sewer systems, reducing the risk of sewage backups and ecological contamination.
- Proper Hygiene: Eliminating stagnant water and organic matter helps prevent the growth of bacteria and “sink stink,” ensuring a healthier environment.
- Reduced Water Damage Risk: Clogged drains can cause water to back up and overflow, potentially damaging floors, walls, and ceilings. Annual or regular drain cleaning helps prevent such incidents and protects properties from water-related damage.
If you are experiencing slow-draining drains, foul odors, or other plumbing issues, contacting a professional drain cleaning service is important. By investing in regular drain cleaning, you help ensure the longevity and performance of your plumbing system.

Serviced Offered
If you have a clogged commercial drain in Detroit, contact Roto-Rooter today. We will quickly and efficiently clear your clog so you can get back to business.
In addition to floor and sink drains, Roto-Rooter provides commercial roof drain cleaning to Detroit businesses, using mechanical or high-pressure water jets to clean roof drain pipes and water collection drains. Commercial roof drains include gutters, scuppers, downspouts, and inner drains.
Bathroom and Kitchen Drain Cleaning
Grease, food scraps, soaps, fats, hair, and detergents accumulate in kitchen and bathroom drains over time, restricting water flow and leading to blockages and drain backups.
Roto-Rooter’s advanced sink machines skillfully cut through clogs to eliminate even the toughest clogs. We fully restore your kitchen or bathroom sink drain to its original capacity and functionality by cleaning the entire drain pipe from end to end.
Floor Drain Cleaning In Detroit, MI
Floor drains include shower stall and bathtub drains, as well as drains in laundry rooms, driveways, and garages. Floor drains drain water quickly from flood-prone areas but can clog with dirt and debris. Bathtub and shower drains also accumulate a sticky mixture of soap scum, hair, and hygiene products, reducing water flow. 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 Services
Outdoor drains include underground pipes connected to gutters, trench drains, channel drains, and sewer pipes. Due to their ribbed construction, underground corrugated pipes require specialized cleaning methods such as water jetting or hand tools. Roto-Rooter has the tools and safety equipment to clear all your outdoor and underground drain systems.
Drain Replacement
Detroit buildings and homes with older plumbing systems may suffer from water or sewer backups caused by damaged drains. Roto-Rooter plumbers inspect drainage systems using waterproof video cameras mounted on long cables to identify damaged drain lines, which we then repair and return to optimal performance.
Drain Excavation in Detroit
Roto-Rooter specializes in conventional and trenchless drain and sewer excavation. Our industry-leading equipment enables us to precisely excavate trenches of varying sizes and depths, ensuring minimal disruption to surrounding areas. Once we expose the pipe, our experienced technicians repair or replace it using the highest quality materials while adhering to strict safety standards.
Trenchless pipe restoration is a minimally invasive method of repairing or replacing damaged pipes without digging a trench. This service is helpful if the pipe lies beneath buildings, driveways, sidewalks, large landscaping beds, parking lots, trees, or other structures. Trenchless pipe restoration can significantly reduce the time, cost, and disruption associated with traditional excavation methods.
If you need drain or sewer excavation services in Detroit, contact Roto-Rooter today. We offer financing to help you pay for your drain excavation project over time.
Commercial Drain Cleaning
Commercial drains clog more often than residential drains and are more likely to become clogged with tough-to-remove items. Commercial drain clogs require different cleaning techniques as a result. We provide commercial drain cleaning services in Detroit, including:
- Mechanical cleaning: Specialized tools break up and remove clogs caused by foreign objects, such as mop strings, plastic straws, utensils, and other objects.
- High-pressure water jetting: High-pressure water dislodges, dissolves, and flushes out foreign objects, grease, or sludge.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How do you know if your drains need cleaning?
Slow-draining water is a telltale sign of a clogged drain. If multiple drains in your home or business experience slow drainage, your main sewer line may be blocked. Roto-Rooter has the expertise and equipment to thoroughly clean and unclog all 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 need to clean your drain depends on how much you use it and what goes down it. Older residential drains usually only need to be cleaned once a year, but high-usage drains, like those in restaurants or kitchens, should be cleaned every three months. Industrial drains need cleaning even more often, sometimes every month. Roto-Rooter offers scheduled drain maintenance programs to help keep your drains running smoothly.
Can I clean my drains or hire a professional?
Homeowners can often clear simple clogs. 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.

Different Types of Drains
Drains come in various shapes and sizes to match specific purposes. As a result, not all drains can be cleaned using the same methods. Roto-Rooter offers a comprehensive range of routine and emergency drain cleaning services in Detroit to ensure all your drains function properly, regardless of their type or purpose.
Here are the most common specialized drains in Detroit plumbing systems:
- Atrium drains collect water runoff and prevent soil erosion in gardens and landscaped areas.
- Channel drains manage surface water runoff from driveways, walkways, and pool decks.
- Floor drains include bathroom, shower stall, and utility room rains.
- French drains are subsurface drains that redirect groundwater away from structures or low-lying areas, preventing water seepage and basement flooding.
- Industrial Drains handle heavy loads and remove wastewater and chemicals from industrial and commercial facilities.
- Municipal drains rapidly move stormwater and sewage to collection facilities or detention ponds.
- Roof drains collect rainwater and prevent water from pooling, reducing the risk of roof leaks and damage.
- Sink drains collect and channel water for washing, cooking, and cleaning.
- Stormwater drains collect rainwater from roads, sidewalks, and other surfaces to prevent flooding and direct water away from urban areas.
- Toilet drains connect to the sewage system. They transport waste and wastewater from toilets to the main sewer line.
- Trench Drains, or linear drains, are long and narrow drains designed to collect surface water and prevent the flooding of driveways, parking lots, pool decks, commercial garages, and patios.
