Drain Cleaning Services

Kitchen Drain Cleaning

Kitchen drains are in constant use and exposed to significant wear and tear. Over time, grease, food scraps, soaps, fats, and detergents can build up in kitchen drains, resulting in reduced water flow, unpleasant “sink stink,” and clogs (learn why you should never pour grease and oil down a sink). Our state-of-the-art Roto-Rooter sink machines 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 completely clean the pipe from end to end so it stays open longer.

Bathroom Drain Cleaning

Soap scum, hair, beard trimmings, toothpaste, beauty products, and other substances often accumulate in bathroom drains, sticking to the inside walls of the drainpipe and gradually building into a clog. Roto-Rooter can quickly restore proper flow to your bathroom drains. Bathroom sink drains extend into the wall, far beyond the parts you can see. They connect to a branch drain that flows into your main sewer. Roto-Rooter cleans the entire length of your bathroom drains for optimum water flow.

Bathroom Sink Drain Cleaning

Regular use of bathroom sinks can lead to soap scum, hair, and hygiene products accumulating in the drain, which can eventually cause clogging. Roto-Rooter provides reliable and efficient drain cleaning services in Santa Cruz that quickly remove these blockages and restore your bathroom sink drain to optimal performance.

Bathtub Drain Cleaning

Clogged bathtubs or shower drains can leave dirty water standing for long periods. These clogs need prompt attention to restore your bathroom to normal. Roto-Rooter staffs our local area offices 24/7 to ensure a rapid response when you need Santa Cruz drain cleaning services.

Laundry Drain Cleaning

Laundry drains have a J-shaped trap connecting the washing machine's drainage hose to the wastewater pipe. If this drain becomes clogged with lint or other debris, 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 penetrate and clog the laundry drain, reducing water flow and causing backups. 

Roto-Rooter plumbers understand the importance of proper laundry drain maintenance. We will clean your laundry drain from end to end to ensure uninterrupted water flow.

Floor Drain Cleaning

Floor drains in laundry rooms, driveways, and garages quickly drain water to prevent flooding. Because they are built into the floor, floor drains are susceptible to dirt and debris building up in their drain lines. Should a floor drain clog, water backs up and overflows into the surrounding space, causing the very damage the drains should 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. We can also provide water extraction and drying services in the event of a drain overflow.

Outdoor Drain Cleaning

Outdoor drains include underground pipes connected to gutters, trench drains, channel drains, and sewer pipes. Due to their specialized construction, outdoor drains often require technical cleaning methods such as water jetting or hand tools. Roto-Rooter possesses cutting-edge tools and safety equipment to effectively clean and maintain all your outdoor and underground drain systems.

The specialized cleaning methods employed by Roto-Rooter plumbers ensure that your outdoor drains remain free of obstructions and function optimally between scheduled drain cleanings, preventing the accumulation of debris, waterlogging, and potential damage to the surrounding property.

Commercial Santa Cruz Drain Cleaning Services

Commercial drains are more susceptible to frequent clogging than residential drains, often due to stubborn, hard-to-remove materials. As a result, commercial drain clogs require specialized cleaning techniques and equipment. Roto-Rooter offers commercial drain cleaning services in Santa Cruz, including:

  • Mechanical cleaning: Specialized tools break up and remove clogs caused by foreign objects, such as mop strings, plastic straws, utensils, etc.
  • High-pressure water jetting: High-pressure water jets dislodge, dissolve, and flush out foreign objects, grease, or sludge.

When you need Santa Cruz drain cleaning services, contact Roto-Rooter at 831-704-4900 or book an appointment using our convenient online scheduling form. Our experienced technicians will quickly clear your clog so you can resume normal business operations.

Such blockages lead to water accumulation on or around the roof, posing risks like wood trim decay or attic leaks. Roto-Rooter has the tools and safety equipment to clear your residential roof drains from end to end.

William was great. He responded quickly to the washer backflow. He gave me a couple of options and then got the job done in no time. Dilip K

Damien arrived soon after we had called to report a clogged shower. We usually have to wait at least a day for a plumber, so this was amazing. He fixed the problem cleanly and swiftly. I wish he were our neighbor! Avril T

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How do you know if your drains need cleaning?

Slow drainage or water backup indicates a drain needs cleaning. If multiple drains on your property drain slowly, the problem may be a clogged or damaged main sewer line.

Telltale signs that your drains need cleaning include the following:

  • Slow draining: a slowly draining sink, bathtub, or shower suggests debris buildup in the pipes.
  • Gurgling sounds: Gurgling sounds from your drains indicate trapped air in the pipes due to a clog or a partially blocked pipe.
  • Unpleasant odors: A buildup of organic matter, such as food scraps or hair, can cause “sink stink,” leading to the growth of bacteria and mold.
  • Water backing up: If water is backing up into your sink, bathtub, or shower, it's a clear sign of a major clog in the pipes. 

If you notice any of these signs, have your drains cleaned by a professional. Roto-Rooter offers drain cleaning services to Santa Cruz residences and businesses, including mechanical cleaning, high-pressure water jetting, and enzymatic drain cleaners. We also have the tools and expertise to clear clogged sewer lines.

How often should drains be cleaned?

The frequency of drain cleaning depends on the type of drain and how often it is used:

  • Residential kitchen and bathroom drains should be cleaned at least once a year to remove clog-causing substances.
  • Laundry drains should be cleaned at least once a year. They are not used as frequently as other drains but can still get clogged with lint and other debris.
  • Commercial drains may need cleaning every month to three months due to high usage. 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, you should hire a professional drain cleaning company for more stubborn clogs in branch drain lines or main sewers. Professional-grade sewer cleaning machines can be dangerous in the hands of inexperienced operators.
