#1 Professional Drain Cleaner in Your Houston Neighborhood
Roto-Rooter has been fixing drain disasters since 1935 when our founder, Samuel Blanc, patented the first electric drain cleaning machine—a device designed so well that we use the same technology for sewer and drain cleaning in Houston today. Our powerful Roto-Rooter equipment combines flexible drain-cleaning cables with sharp spinning cutting blades to travel through pipes and slash away roots, clogs, and other debris. The Roto-Rooter drain cleaning process shaves roots right down to the pipe walls so they stay clean and clear longer in between professional cleanings.

Drain Cleaning Services
Kitchen Drain Cleaning
Kitchen drains see significant amounts of wear and tear. Over time, kitchen drains often experience reduced flow and eventually clog completely 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 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’ll completely clean the pipe from end to end so that it stays 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 often wind up going down the drain, sticking to the inside walls of the drainpipe, and gradually building into a clog. Roto-Rooter will quickly restore proper flow to your bathroom drains and thoroughly clean the pipe from end to end. Bathroom sink drains extend into the wall, far beyond the parts you can see below a bathroom sink. They connect to a branch drain that flows into your main sewer.
Bathroom Sink Drain Cleaning
Bathroom sink drains may accumulate a sticky mess of soap scum, hair, and hygiene products over time, reducing water flow. Roto-Rooter makes quick work of such clogs, restoring your bathroom sink drain to full functionality.
Bathtub Drain Cleaning
A clogged bathtub or shower drain can leave dirty water standing in both fixtures for long periods of time. These clogs need prompt attention. Roto-Rooter staffs its Houston area offices 24/7 to ensure a rapid response when you need clogged drain cleaning in Houston.
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 can collect lots of dirt and debris over time. Should these drains clog, water can back up and overflow into the surrounding space, causing the very damage the drains were designed to prevent. Believe it or not, many people sweep their floors and push dust and debris into floor drains instead of using a dustpan! Roto-Rooter will clear and clean your clogged floor drain, and we can also provide water extraction and drying services in the event of a drain overflow.
Outdoor Drain Cleaning
Outdoor drains include underground pipes connected to gutters, trench drains, channel drains, and sewer pipes. Roto-Rooter utilizes American-made electromechanical Roto-Rooter machines to clean drains and clear blockages. We build the world’s most powerful and effective mechanical sewer and drain cleaning machines at our factory in West Des Moines, Iowa. And these proprietary machines are only available to genuine Roto-Rooter branches. Underground corrugated pipes require special cleaning regimens due to their ribbed construction and require the use of specialized water jetting or hand tools to clean and unclog them.
Commercial Drain Cleaning
Commercial drain clogs often require different cleaning techniques than residential drains, and commercial drains clog more frequently. 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 and dissolve and flush out grease or sludge to get them draining like new. Roto-Rooter has almost a century of experience cleaning commercial drains, and we offer scheduled drain maintenance programs to keep commercial drains from clogging in the first place.
In addition to floor and sink drains, Roto-Rooter provides commercial roof drain cleaning to Houston businesses, using mechanical or high-pressure water jets to clean roof drain pipes and water collection drains from one end to the other.
Residential Roof Drains
Residential gutters include gutters, scuppers, and inner drains that connect to 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, 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.
Commercial Roof Drains
Commercial roof drains include gutters, scuppers, downspouts, and inner drains. A clogged commercial roof drain can damage both your building and its contents, especially if, like many businesses, your building has a flat roof. Pooling water on a flat roof breaks down the roof’s barrier membrane and seeps inside, resulting in leaks, peeling paint, mold growth, and inventory damage. Roto-Rooter will work with you to create a drain cleaning maintenance schedule for your roof.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do you know if your drains need cleaning?
Any drain that drains slowly needs professional cleaning to restore flow. If more than one drain in your home or structure drains slowly, the problem may lie in the main sewer line that connects your home or business to the municipal sewer system. Roto-Rooter has all the tools and equipment required to thoroughly clean and unclog residential and commercial sewer pipes from end to end. Roto-Rooter’s sewer cleaning equipment is the best in the industry and is manufactured and assembled in Roto-Rooter’s own factory in West Des Moines, Iowa.
How often should drains be cleaned?
How often you clean your drain depends on both usage and what goes down the drain. Hair and grease, for instance, can cause serious clogs. Typically, older residential drains should be cleaned annually, while high-usage drains, such as those found in restaurants or institutional kitchens, may benefit from cleaning every few months. Some commercial drains require even more frequent cleaning, sometimes as often as every month. Roto-Rooter offers scheduled drain maintenance programs that significantly reduce the likelihood of a commercial clog that could impact your business.
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.
