Why is Drain Cleaning Necessary?
Regular drain cleaning is essential for a properly functioning plumbing system. Over time, hair, grease, soap scum, food particles, mineral deposits, and other substances 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 key reasons to consider professional Kansas City drain cleaning:
Services Offered
If you have a clogged commercial drain in Kansas City, contact Roto-Rooter today. We'll quickly and efficiently clear your clog so you can get back to business.
Bathroom and Kitchen Drain Cleaning
Kitchen and bathroom drain clogs are common plumbing problems. Grease, food scraps, hair, soaps, fats, and detergents can all build up in drain pipes and eventually block the flow of water. (Don't pour grease or oil down your sink, by the way.) Our advanced Roto-Rooter sink machines cut through clogs, eliminate debris, and restore your 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.
Floor Drain Repair In Kansas City
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, back up, and overflow. Roto-Rooter can clear and clean your clogged floor drain quickly and efficiently. And if your floor drain does overflow, we can help with water extraction and drying services.
Outdoor Drain Cleaning Services
Outdoor drains include underground pipes connected to gutters, trench drains, channel drains, and sewer pipes. Underground corrugated pipes require unique cleaning methods due to their ribbed construction, including specialized water jetting and hand tools. For outdoor drains connected to the sides of buildings or along roofs, safety equipment is needed to protect against falls.
Roto-Rooter is a leading provider of drain cleaning and repair services. The company has a team of experienced and certified technicians who can clear any type of outdoor drain clog, including those caused by tree roots, grease, and sediment.
Drain Replacement
Older buildings and homes in Kansas City may suffer from water or sewer backups caused by older, damaged drains. Roto-Rooter plumbers inspect drainage systems using waterproof video cameras on long cables to check for damage. If necessary, Roto-Rooter then repairs or replaces the damaged drain lines.
Drain Excavation in Kansas City
Roto-Rooter is your one-stop center for all your sewer excavation needs. We use specialized equipment to excavate trenches of all sizes and depths and adhere to strict safety standards throughout the excavation process.
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.
If you need drain or sewer excavation services in Kansas City, 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 get clogged with tough-to-remove materials. As a result, commercial drain clogs require different cleaning techniques. We offer a range of commercial drain cleaning services in Kansas City, including:
- Mechanical cleaning: Specialized tools break up and remove clogs caused by foreign objects, such as mop strings, plastic straws, utensils, and other foreign 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 water flow suggests a drain needs cleaning. If multiple drains in your home or business drain slowly, your main sewer line may be blocked. 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. Call us today, and we'll get your drains flowing like new!
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 to be cleaned even more often, sometimes every month. Roto-Rooter offers scheduled drain maintenance programs that can help keep your drains clear and running smoothly.
Can I clean my drains, or should I 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.
