Why is Drain Cleaning Necessary?
Drains are designed to maintain the cleanliness of your home or business, efficiently removing dirty water, loose hair, bits of food, and other waste. In a functional drain, these waste materials travel seamlessly through the drains into the sewage system. However, accumulation of debris inside drain pipes can form obstructions, disrupting the smooth flow of water.
Here are some key reasons why professional drain cleaning in Indianapolis is necessary:

Bathroom and Kitchen Drain Cleaning
Many substances can clog kitchen drains, including greases, soaps, fats, detergents, and food debris (learn why you should never pour grease and oil down a sink). Bathroom sink drains are also 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 up into a clog.
When you need an emergency Indianapolis drain cleaner, count on Roto-Rooter’s fast, reliable service. Our state-of-the-art Roto-Rooter sink machines skillfully cut through clogs, remove debris, and fully restore your kitchen sink drain’s functionality.

Floor Drain Repair In Indianapolis
Floor drains handle excess water flow in spaces like showers, basements, garages and laundry rooms. Unfortunately, their design can make them susceptible to blockages from all kinds of dirt and debris. Our technicians employ specialized tools and techniques to clear out tough clogs in floor drains, preventing potential flooding or water damage.
Outdoor Drain Cleaning Services
Outdoor drains serve the essential function of preventing water accumulation on your property and safeguarding your building’s foundation and landscaping. Whether it's a blocked gutter or a clogged yard drain, Roto-Rooter is equipped to handle it. We utilize industry-leading methods like high-pressure water jetting to clear out clogs and ensure your outdoor drainage system functions optimally.
Drain Replacement
Older properties in Indianapolis may have drainage systems that are not up to modern standards, and even newer drains will wear out from heavy use. Whether it's frequent clogs or inefficient water flow, Roto-Rooter can help assess and replace problematic drains so you can enjoy smooth and efficient drainage in every area of your property.
Drain Excavation in Indianapolis
Sometimes, a severe blockage will require excavating and replacing a pipe, especially if the main sewer line has been damaged or compromised. While this process is rather intensive, Roto-Rooter’s trained plumbers bring a streamlined approach to the job, minimizing disruption and protecting the integrity of your property.
Commercial Drain Cleaning
With their high foot traffic and specific requirements, commercial spaces can pose unique challenges for plumbing and drainage. Fortunately, Roto-Rooter offers specialized drain cleaning for Indianapolis businesses, such as restaurants, retail spaces and offices. Our experts know the technical ins and outs of commercial plumbing, and we know how to keep costs and downtime to a minimum so your business can get back on track.
Commercial Roof Drains
In addition to floor and sink drains, Roto-Rooter provides commercial roof drain cleaning to Indianapolis 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?
Several signs can indicate a need for drain cleaning:
- Water draining slowly out of sinks and bathroom fixtures or not draining at all
- Bad smells in the air coming from drains of any kind
- Toilets flushing with low water pressure
- Pests such as drain flies present in the area near a drain
- Water or sewage backing up or overflowing through drains
How often should drains be cleaned?
For drains in good working order, an annual drain cleaning is usually enough to prevent clogs from developing. However, it’s important not to put off this task since clogs can begin forming before you know they’re present. For extra protection, we recommend a natural enzyme-based anti-clogging treatment like Roto-Rooter Pipe Shield.
Some types of drains will require more frequent attention. Drains in high-traffic commercial establishments and older drains might require a quarterly cleaning or even a monthly one. If you’re ever in doubt, ask your Roto-Rooter professional — we’ll help you come up with a drain cleaning schedule that works for you.
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.
