Drain Cleaning Services

Kitchen Drain Cleaning

Kitchen drains face constant wear and tear, making them susceptible to clogging over time. Grease, food scraps, soaps, fats, and detergents accumulate inside the pipes, causing reduced water flow and eventually leading to complete blockages (learn why you should never pour grease and oil down a sink). 

Roto-Rooter's cutting-edge drain machines tackle stubborn kitchen sink drain blockages with ease. Our technicians skillfully navigate through drain pipes, slicing through clogs, removing debris, and restoring your kitchen sink drain to optimal performance. We go beyond simply opening your kitchen sink drain; we thoroughly clean the entire drain length, ensuring long-lasting results and preventing future clogs.

Bathroom Drain Cleaning

Bathroom 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 provides reliable bathroom drain cleaning in Philadelphia. Our experienced plumbers restore optimal flow to your bathroom drains quickly and thoroughly clean drain pipes from end to end.

Bathroom Sink Drain Cleaning

Bathroom sinks are vulnerable to clogs due to the accumulation of soap scum, hair, beard trimmings, toothpaste, beauty products, and other debris that sticks to the inner walls of the drainpipe and gradually forms a blockage. Roto-Rooter offers expert bathroom sink drain cleaning services in Philadelphia that effectively restore proper flow to bathroom sinks and thoroughly clean 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. Roto-Rooter staffs its Philadelphia area offices 24/7 to ensure a rapid response when you need clogged drain cleaning in Philadelphia. Our experienced and certified plumbers can handle even the most stubborn bathtub and shower drain clogs, using state-of-the-art techniques to effectively remove hair, soap scum, and other debris, ensuring thorough cleaning and preventing future blockages.

Laundry Drain Cleaning

Laundry drains feature a J-shaped drain that links the washing machine drainage hose to a wastewater pipe. If lint or other debris clogs the J-shaped drain, wastewater from the washing machine 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 clean laundry drains. We thoroughly clean your laundry drain from end to end, ensuring proper and uninterrupted water flow. Safeguard your appliances and property by trusting Roto-Rooter to maintain your laundry drain system.

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. Roto-Rooter also offers water extraction and drying services in the unfortunate event of an overflowing floor drain.

Outdoor Drain Cleaning

Outdoor drains include underground drainage connected to gutters, trench drains, channel drains, and sewer pipes. Many outdoor drains need cleaning with specialized hand tools or water-jetting to avoid damage to the pipe. Roto-Rooter has the tools and safety equipment to clear all your outdoor and underground drain systems.

Commercial Drain Cleaning

Commercial drain clogs tend to clog more frequently than residential drains and often require specialized cleaning methods. Stubborn, hard-to-dislodge objects such as mop strings, plastic straws, utensils, and similar items can block commercial drains. Restaurants and institutional kitchen sinks are particularly prone to commercial drain clogs, often resulting from foreign objects or the buildup of grease and food particles.

Roto-Rooter offers commercial drain cleaning services in Philadelphia. We employ a combination of mechanical cleaning and high-pressure water jetting techniques to dislodge stubborn debris, dissolve grease and sludge, and restore optimal drainage. Additionally, we offer scheduled drain maintenance programs tailored to prevent commercial drain clogs from occurring in the first place, saving businesses time and expense.

Residential Roof Drains

Residential roof drainage systems include gutters, scuppers, and inner roof drains that connect to underground storm drains. Various debris, including leaves, twigs, insect nests, and plant life, can clog these drains. Clogged roof drains cause water to pool on or near your roof, potentially leading to property damage or attic leaks. Roto-Rooter has the tools and safety equipment to clear all residential roof drains safely and effectively.

Commercial Roof Drains

Commercial roof drains, including gutters, scuppers, downspouts, and inner drains, safeguard your building from water damage. Clogged commercial roof drains pose significant risks to your building and its contents, especially in flat-roofed buildings. Water on a flat roof can compromise the roof’s protective barrier membrane, leading to leaks, peeling paint, mold growth, and inventory damage. Roto-Rooter offers customized drain cleaning maintenance schedules tailored to your commercial roof drainage system to prevent these costly and disruptive issues.

Writing on behalf of Steve, who was such a big help. Our basement sink was overflowing alarmingly fast — we got in touch with Steve, and he was at our door within 10 minutes. He quickly identified and solved the issue. Very professional and made sure to explain what he was doing. Robert O

Roto-Rooter showed up very quickly with our under-the-kitchen sink leak and garbage disposal failure. The technician fixed the leak very quickly, explained everything to us, and asked us if we had any questions, which he answered right away. Then had a replacement for the garbage disposal and installed it quickly with no more leaks! Thank you, Roto-Rooter, for your quick, efficient response and this kind, respectful technician that you sent to help us out. Heidi M

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How do you know if your drains need cleaning?

Your drains may need cleaning if you detect any of the following signs:

  • Slow drainage: If your sink, bathtub, or shower drains slowly, it suggests a buildup of debris in the pipes.
  • Gurgling sounds: Gurgling sounds indicate air is trapped in the pipes due to a clog.
  • Unpleasant odors: “Sink Stink” suggests food or other substances are decomposing in the drain pipe. 
  • Water backing up: 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. 

High-usage drains, such as those found in restaurants or institutional kitchens, often need cleaning every 1-3 months. 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?

Homeowners can often clear simple clogs using household methods like plunging. Stubborn blogs, especially those located 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.
