Services Offered
Kitchen Drain Cleaning
Kitchen Drain Cleaning
Kitchen drains are prone to clogs due to the accumulation of grease, food scraps, soaps, fats, and detergents. Over time, this buildup restricts water flow and leads to a complete clog (learn why you should never pour grease and oil down a sink). Roto-Rooter’s advanced sink machines skillfully 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.
Bathroom Drain Cleaning
Bathroom sink drains are prone to clogs due to the accumulation of soap scum, hair, beard trimmings, toothpaste, and beauty products. These substances stick to the inside walls of the drainpipe and gradually form clogs, restricting water flow and leading to unpleasant odors. Roto-Rooter quickly restores proper flow to your bathroom drains and thoroughly cleans the pipe from end to end. Bathroom sink drains extend into the wall, well beyond what's visible beneath the bathroom sink, and connect to a branch drain that feeds into your central sewer line.
Bathtub Drain Cleaning
Bathtub and shower drains accumulate a sticky mixture of soap scum, hair, and hygiene products, reducing water flow. Roto-Rooter offers expert bathroom drain cleaning services to clear clogs and restore proper water flow.
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 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.
Outdoor Drain Cleaning
Outdoor drains include underground pipes connected to gutters, trench drains, channel drains, and sewer pipes. Underground corrugated pipes require particular cleaning techniques due to their ribbed construction, including specialized water jetting or hand tools.
Commercial Drain Cleaning
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 and by a buildup of food grease. Roto-Rooter offers commercial drain cleaning services in Baltimore using mechanical cleaning or high-pressure water jetting to dislodge foreign objects and dissolve grease and sludge. 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 Baltimore 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, especially if your property has a flat roof. Roto-Rooter will 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 underground drainage systems. Leaves, twigs, insect nests, and plant life can clog a residential roof drain, causing 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.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How do you know if your drains need cleaning?
A slow drain 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 you clean your drain depends on usage and what goes down the drain. Hair and grease, for instance, can cause serious clogs. Typically, older residential drains should be cleaned annually, while high-usage drains, such as those found in restaurants or institutional kitchens, may 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 of a commercial clog that could impact your business.
Can I clean my drains or 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.
