Drain Cleaning in Houston

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 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 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.

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 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 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 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 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 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.
