Why is Drain Cleaning Necessary?
Regular drain cleaning is essential for maintaining the proper functionality of plumbing systems. Hair, grease, soap scum, food particles, mineral deposits, wet wipes, and other substances accumulate in drains, causing clogs and impairing water flow. When this occurs, users may notice slow-draining sinks, weak toilet flushes, foul odors, water backups in showers and tubs, and water damage from backups and overflows.
Here are some key reasons why professional drain cleaning services in Concord, CA, are necessary:
Drain Cleaning Services Offered in Concord, CA
Kitchen Drain Cleaning
Kitchen drains often experience reduced flow and can eventually clog entirely 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 advanced Roto-Rooter sink machines cut through clogs, eliminate debris, and fully restore your kitchen 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. Furthermore, we clean well beyond the pipes you can see beneath your kitchen sink. We also clean the pipes that run behind your kitchen walls or beneath the floor to ensure the clog is eliminated, not just pushed deeper into the drainage system.
Bathroom Drain Cleaning
Bathroom sink drains extend into the wall, well beyond what's visible beneath the bathroom sink, and connect to a branch drain that flows into your main sewer line. Soap scum, hair, beard trimmings, toothpaste, beauty products, and other substances find their way down bathroom drains, sticking to the inside walls of the drain and gradually forming clogs. Roto-Rooter quickly restores proper flow to bathroom drains and thoroughly cleans the pipe from end to end so the drain stays open longer.
Bathtub Drain Cleaning
Bathtub drains accumulate a sticky mixture of soap scum, hair, and hygiene products, reducing water flow. Roto-Rooter swiftly addresses such clogs, restoring your bathtub or shower drain to full functionality.
Floor Drain Cleaning
Floor drains in laundry rooms, driveways, basements, and garages are designed to drain away water quickly. Because these drains are built into the floor, they accumulate substantial dirt and debris over time. When floor drains clog, water can back up and overflow into the surrounding space, causing property damage. Roto-Rooter will clear and clean your clogged floor drains. In cases of serious drain overflow, we offer water extraction and drying services.
Outdoor Drain Cleaning
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 high-pressure water jetting, also called hydro-jetting, and hand tools.
Commercial Drain Cleaning
A commercial drain can clog 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 hydro-jetting (high-pressure water jetting) services to dislodge foreign objects, dissolving and flushing away grease and sludge to restore proper drain flow. We offer scheduled drain maintenance programs to keep commercial drains from clogging in the first place.
Commercial Roof Drains
In addition to floor and sink drains, Roto-Rooter provides commercial roof drain cleaning to Concord businesses, using mechanical or high-pressure water jets to clean roof drain pipes and water collection drains. Commercial roof drains include gutters, scuppers, downspouts, and inner drains. A clogged commercial roof drain can damage your building and its contents. Roto-Rooter can work with you to create a drain cleaning maintenance schedule for your roof.
Residential Roof Drains
Residential gutters include gutters, scuppers, and inner drains connecting to underground drainage systems. Leaves, twigs, insect nests, moss and plant life can all clog a residential roof drain, causing water to pool on or near the roof, where it can rot wood trim or leak into attics. Roto-Rooter has the tools and safety equipment to clear gutters and underground pipes that connect roof drains to storm drains.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How do you know if your drains need cleaning?
Any drain experiencing slow drainage needs cleaning to restore proper flow. If multiple drains in your home or business drain slowly, the problem may lie in your main sewer line. 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.
How often should drains be cleaned?
How often a drain needs cleaning depends on usage and what goes down the drain. Typically, older residential drains require annual cleaning, while high-usage drains, such as those found in restaurants or institutional kitchens, benefit from cleaning every three months. Commercial drains require more frequent cleaning, sometimes as often as every month. 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. 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.
