#1 Professional Drain Cleaner in Your Seattle Neighborhood
Roto-Rooter Plumbing & Water Cleanup is proud to provide expert drain cleaning services to the Seattle area.
Meeting Seattle’s Residential and Commercial Plumbing Needs
While stunning and architecturally distinctive, the historic and older homes and buildings in Seattle, such as those in the Harvard-Belmont Historic District or First Hill areas, may have outdated plumbing systems that can result in frequent drain blockages. Even the newest homes aren’t immune to clogs caused by hair, soap scum, and kitchen grease buildup. The Emerald City’s high rainfall levels can also contribute to backups and clogs when stormwater runoff floods the municipal storm sewer system. Roto-Rooter is always available to help.
We’re ready 24 hours a day, seven days a week, to address residential or commercial drainage problems indoors and outside. We use an electromechanical drain cleaning machine – similar to the one that we invented and patented – to remove clogs and get your drainage flow back to where it should be. Schedule your appointment online or call 206-935-6600, and an experienced, insured plumber will fix your problem.
DRAIN CLEANING SERVICES
Roto-Rooter serves the entire Greater Seattle area, including the cities of Seattle, Bellevue, Redmond, Kirkland, Bothell, Tacoma, Everett, and other cities and towns in the Puget Sound region. Contact our local team for help with any of the following drain cleaning services:
Kitchen Drain Cleaning
Your kitchen sink is one of your home's most used plumbing fixtures and is prone to clogs from fat, soap, grease, food waste, and detergent buildup. Call your Seattle Roto-Rooter team if you’ve tried managing a clog or slow drain situation yourself without success. Our licensed plumbers or experienced drain technicians will cut through the blockage and restore full drainage using a Roto-Rooter drain cleaning machine specially designed for clearing sink drains. Our drain cleaning machines scrape away buildup and eliminate debris from sink drain pipes so that your pipes drain like new pipes.
Bathroom Drain Cleaning
Bathroom plumbing issues can affect showers, sinks, and toilets since these bathroom drains are usually interconnected. When plungers and other DIY attempts don’t work, contact the sewer & drain pros at Roto-Rooter, who have the professional-grade equipment that can restore your drains to full functionality.
Bathroom Sink Drain Cleaning
From hair and soap scum to toothpaste and the occasionally dropped cotton swab, there are many reasons why your bathroom sink could be clogged. Some areas in Seattle with hard water are especially susceptible to mineral buildup, which can also contribute to clogs. Let us handle bathroom sink drain blockages quickly and efficiently.
Bathtub Drain Cleaning
Soap, hair, body oils, pet fur, and small items like shampoo bottle caps or children’s bath toys can clog the bathtub drain. Sometimes a hardware store drain snake or drain plunger will solve the problem, but other times the clog is too big or too deep inside the drain pipes for these remedies to work. That’s when you know it’s a job for Roto-Rooter.
Floor Drain Cleaning
Backed-up floor drains in laundry rooms, basements, utility spaces, and garages must be kept clear of debris, or they can’t prevent flooding. One of the most common problems with floor drains is that people sweep floor dirt right into the drains instead of using a dust pan! Trust Roto-Rooter’s expert drain cleaners to eliminate the clog and provide you with tips for avoiding future water damage issues.
Outdoor Drain Cleaning & Main Sewer
Every drain in your house flows into your home’s residential sewer pipe, which connects your home to the municipal sewer pipe at the curb (unless you have a septic tank). Your main sewer is your responsibility, not the city’s. Over time, this 4-6 inch diameter sewer pipe can become clogged due to tree root intrusion at pipe joints. Roots spread out like a net inside the pipe, catching toilet paper, feminine hygiene products, toilet paper, and waste until a clog forms that completely chokes off the sewer so that it can no longer drain into the municipal sewer. Roto-Rooter has almost 90 years of experience eliminating sewer clogs. We can also clear clogs from yard drains, trench drains, and culverts.
Commercial Drain Cleaning
Roto-Rooter can quickly solve all types of commercial, industrial, and municipal sewer and drain problems, minimizing the impact on your business. We provide a full range of commercial drain and sewer line cleaning, repair, and replacement services. We provide a full range of commercial drain and sewer line cleaning, repair, and replacement services using electromechanical drain cleaning machines and/or high-pressure water jetting, sometimes called hydro-jetting. Our equipment is designed to slash through commercial drain clogs and thoroughly clean the pipe right down to the pipe walls and from end to end.
Residential Roof Drains
Twigs and leaves can prevent proper drainage in your gutters and downspouts. Add in Seattle’s wet weather, and residential roof drains are even more at risk for vegetation and debris accumulation. The water from clogs may cause complications such as roof, structural, and interior damage. While Roto-Rooter does not clean roof gutters or rectangular aluminum downspouts, we do clean the underground pipes between your downspout and the storm drain, which can back up water all the way to the gutters. Contact Roto-Rooter for fast resolution of residential roof drain clogs.
Commercial Roof Drains
Commercial buildings often have flat roofs prone to water accumulation that can permeate and damage the roof and the underlying structure. Moss growth and debris can block roof drain covers and clog the vertical drain pipes that are designed to prevent water from accumulating on a flat roof. Roto-Rooter has the knowledge and equipment to maintain, clean, and unclog all types of commercial roof drains and keep them draining like new.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How much does it cost to unclog the drain line?
The cost of unclogging and thoroughly cleaning a drain line varies depending on several factors, including:
- Clog accessibility and severity
- The number of affected drains
- The complexity of the drain
- The tools and machinery it will take to clean the drain line
- The amount of time and labor involved
With Roto-Rooter, a highly trained and insured service technician will come to your home or business, evaluate your problem, and give you an upfront cost estimate before any work begins.
Is professional drain cleaning worth it?
When dealing with a slow drain or fully clogged backup, many people first take the matter into their own hands and try to solve the issue themselves. For a minor kitchen sink clog or backed-up shower drain, at-home remedies may get the job done. But if you’ve tried to no avail – or you’re dealing with a complex, worsening, or potentially hazardous situation – calling a professional drain cleaning service is well worth it.
An experienced drain service technician, such as those at Roto-Rooter, can quickly locate and eliminate the clog. But he won’t stop there. After restoring flow to the drain, he’ll clean the drain line from end to end, right down to the pipe walls, so your line will drain like new. Using a professional service like Roto-Rooter will save you time and frustration. It’s also wise to consider professional drain cleaning as an annual maintenance task, which may help you avoid emergency issues in the future.
How do you deep clean a drain?
There are several options for unclogging and deep cleaning a drain, including DIY remedies such as using a baking soda and salt solution, plunger, wet vacuum, or small hand snake. If those remedies don’t work, it is best to contact a professional. Roto-Rooter provides drain cleaning services 24 hours a day, should you need assistance.
What do plumbers do with clogged drains?
Plumbers employ professional equipment with a stiff but flexible cable that snakes its way through the line, spinning sharp, spring-loaded blades on the tip of the cable that slashes through the toughest clogs while cleaning the pipe walls.
If the technician cannot resolve the problem with a thorough cleaning or the machine is unable to get past a clog, that could be an indication of a structural problem within the pipeline. Roto-Rooter can call in a pipe inspection specialist with a waterproof video camera snake to help identify problems and blockages deep inside the pipeline. Backed by years of experience and supported by the latest equipment and technology, Roto-Rooter knows the best ways to solve your drainage issue. Every drain problem is unique, but we have the right tools and techniques to fix any drainage problem, guaranteed.
