Drain Cleaning

You probably don’t want to think about the icky, sticky stuff that gets washed down the drains of your home, but that doesn’t change the fact that it’s happening day in and day out. When those unpleasant things build up, you can experience slow drains from partial clogs or even a full blockage. Both of these things can cause water and sewage to back up into your home. 
​
Just the thought of that possibility strikes fear into many people, but that’s only because they don’t realize how easy drain blockages are to prevent. Roto-Rooter Plumbing and Drain Service specializes in cleaning out drains of all kinds around the house and even commercial drains. Drain cleaning was the very first service offered by Roto-Rooter back in 1935, so it stands to reason that it’s our most popular service. We’ve had a long time to hone our drain cleaning service, and we’ve done it for so long that there isn’t much we haven’t seen! 
​
When you call Roto-Rooter for drain cleaning service, you’ll be getting the value of our decades of experience. That’s what sets us apart from most other drain cleaning and plumbing companies. There aren’t many companies out there with as much experience and skill as your local Roto-Rooter technicians. Although our individual technicians haven’t been with the company all those years (of course), you still get the benefit of their combined expertise when you make the decision to call the Roto-Rooter team. 

There are several places around your house that clogged drains can become an issue:

• Kitchen – You probably don’t pour hot grease right down the sink, but there’s a chance that some food and other particles do get washed down occasionally. Also, detergents and soaps can build up a residue over time, which most people don’t realize. These things can cause a backup in your kitchen sink. This can be aggravating and unsanitary. 
• Bathroom – The bathroom is another unpleasant place to experience a clogged drain. The shower, sink and toilet can all develop clogs, and each one requires special tools to snake your drain effectively. Excess paper in the toilet wouldn’t be handled the same way that too much hair down the shower drain would be. Roto-Rooter has the tools to handle every bathroom clog you could possibly encounter. 
• Basement – If your basement has a floor drain, there’s an unlimited number of things that could get stuck in it. While the trap inside the floor drain should stop gases and odors from escaping into the room, a clogged drain can still occur, and the trap might actually make a clog harder to identify. Roto-Rooter can identify and clear floor drains in your basement. 
• Utility room – The lines that bring water to and from your washing machine or utility sink can get clogged with all the random materials and debris that come in and out of your laundry room. Don’t forget to let Roto-Rooter clean the drains in your utility room when they work on the more common drains in your home, like the bathroom and kitchen. 

You don’t have to wait until a drain is completely clogged before you give us a call. Roto-Rooter can inspect and clean out your drains and pipes any time you’d like us to in order to keep them free of debris and potential blockages. The interior of your home has many water inlets, and it’s important to keep an eye on all of them so that a clogged or blocked drain doesn’t sneak up on you. 
​

• Outside – We haven’t forgotten about the outside of your home! Outdoor drain cleaning is important, too! Roto-Rooter can help you keep the downspouts of your home cleaned out so that leaves, dirt, limbs and other debris (such as birds’ nests or rodent burrows) don’t back up the gutters and downspouts of your home. This problem commonly leads to puddling and pooling around the foundation of homes, and that will inevitably mean that the foundation will weaken far sooner than it should. Clogged downspouts can also create a problem in urban sewer systems where residential drainpipes connect underground. 

When you hire Roto-Rooter for a clogged drain, you can be sure that you’ll be getting the best service technicians with the most experience and highest level of training with our patented equipment. Don’t trust anyone other than a Roto-Rooter technician to inspect your drains and pipes, and if it’s necessary for them to snake your drain, you can be sure that the job will be done right every time!
