Bathroom Sink Drain Cleaning

Bathroom sink drains are exposed to a host of drain-clogging substances. Without proper maintenance, residual soap scum, hair, beard trimmings, toothpaste, beauty products, and other substances can build up in bathroom sink drains, adhering to the inner walls of the drainpipe and forming progressively worsening blockages. Roto-Rooter promptly restores proper flow to your bathroom sink drains while thoroughly cleaning the drain pipe from end to end.

Bathtub Drain Cleaning

A clogged bathtub or shower drain can quickly become a significant plumbing issue, resulting in standing dirty water and unpleasant odors.

Laundry Drain Cleaning

Laundry drains include a J-shaped drain that links the washing machine drainage hose to a wastewater pipe. Should lint or other debris clog the J-shaped drain, washing machine wastewater can flood the surrounding area, potentially damaging your washer, dryer, and other nearby property. Older homes face an additional challenge, as roots from trees and shrubs can infiltrate and clog the laundry drain’s waste pipe and form clogs. 

Roto-Rooter plumbers understand the importance of proper laundry drain maintenance. We thoroughly clean your laundry drain from end to end, ensuring uninterrupted water flow. Safeguard your appliances and property by trusting Roto-Rooter to maintain your laundry drain system.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How do you know if your drains need cleaning?

Several signs can indicate your drains may need cleaning:

  • Slow drainage suggests a buildup of debris in the pipes.
  • Gurgling sounds indicate air is trapped in the pipes due to a clog.
  • Sink Stinkindicates decomposing food or other substances in the drain pipe. 
  • Water backing up into your sink, bathtub, or shower is a sure sign of a clog in the drain line. 

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?

Residential strains benefit from cleaning every 6-12 months, depending on the number of people in your household, the amount of grease and debris that goes down your drains, and the age of your plumbing system. Here are some general guidelines:

  • Regular Maintenance: It's advisable to perform periodic preventive maintenance on drains. This could involve monthly or quarterly cleaning, depending on usage.
  • High Usage Areas: Drains in high-usage environments, such as commercial kitchens or busy households, need more frequent cleaning. Monthly or bi-monthly maintenance can help prevent clogs.
  • Outdoor Drains: Drains connected to gutters, especially during the fall when leaves are prevalent, may require cleaning every six months.

If you notice slow drainage, gurgling sounds, or unpleasant odors, it's a sign drain cleaning is overdue. Promptly addressing these signs can prevent more significant problems. If you need help cleaning your drains, call Roto-Rooter at 256-533-7246 for advice and a free drain-cleaning quote.

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

Homeowners can often clear simple clogs using household methods like plunging. Stubborn blogs, especially those in branch drain lines or main sewers, are best left to the professionals. Roto-Rooter’s professional plumbers can clear your drains safely and thoroughly.
