Drain Cleaning in Oakland, CA

Bathroom and kitchen drains are prone to clogs. Soap scum, hair, fats, grease, and food scraps can all accumulate in drains, eventually restricting water flow and causing backups. Roto-Rooter’s advanced 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.

Outdoor drains include pipes that connect gutters, trench drains, channel drains, and sewer pipes. Rain gutters, scuppers, and inner drains connected to underground drainage systems also fall under this category. Such drains require specialized cleaning tools and safety equipment for successful repair or maintenance. Underground corrugated pipes, for instance, require water jetting or hand tools due to their ribbed construction. Roto-Rooter has the tools and experience to clean underground pipes and roof drains.

Oakland buildings and homes with older plumbing systems may experience water or sewer backups caused by damaged drains. Roto-Rooter plumbers inspect drainage systems using waterproof video cameras on long cables to identify damage so we can target exactly where repairs or replacement pipes are required.

Commercial drain clogs often require different cleaning techniques than residential drains and tend to clog more frequently. 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 or food and grease buildup.

Roto-Rooter offers commercial drain cleaning services in Oakland using mechanical cleaning or high-pressure water jetting to dislodge foreign objects and dissolve grease and sludge. We also 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 Oakland, CA, businesses, using mechanical or high-pressure water jets to clean roof drain pipes and water collection drains.

Roto-Rooter will work with you to create a drain cleaning maintenance schedule for your roof.

Floor drains in laundry rooms, driveways, 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 become damaged or clogged, water can back up and overflow into the surrounding space, causing the damage they should prevent. Roto-Rooter is here to clear and clean your clogged floor drain. In cases of drain overflow, we offer water extraction and drying services.
