  • Mr. Rooter Plumbing understands the stress and mess a clogged drain can cause. Your drains have a single responsibility: carrying away wastewater from your home. Typically, wastewater has particles in it, such as dust, dirt, food, and soap. These particles can slow your water flow and even clog your drains. When this happens, you need our plumbing professionals to perform clogged drain cleaning services. Our five-star drain plumbing services include getting wastewater flowing again in residential clogged drains. Your home can suffer damage even from small clogs, causing odors and backing up your sinks, tubs, and toilets. A problem in one drain can cause issues in your other drains since they all flow to the same place.

Signs You Have a Clogged Drain

Clogged drains aren’t as easy to spot as you might think. People typically notice when water stops flowing and their sinks back up, but this is only one indication you need a drain cleaning. There are several other signs to watch for in your drains. Mr. Rooter Plumbing strongly recommends contacting our drain cleaning experts to assess your problem and resolve it whenever you notice any of the following signs:

  • Foul Odors coming from drains.
  • Backed-up toilets.
  • Bubbling sounds coming from your toilets.
  • Slow-draining sinks that gurgle.
  • Puddles of water on the floor around laundry appliances, bathtubs, sinks, and showers

What Drains Are in My Home?

All your home’s drains have the same function, and Mr. Rooter Plumbing of the Twin Cities is well-versed in all issues affecting them. Each drain can clog for different reasons, so it typically takes a plumbing professional to find the best solution. In some cases, our team can use products like Bio Choice, an environmentally friendly drain cleaner. We've described various drains in your home and the reasons they clog:

  • Bathroom Drains – Soap, hair, and toothpaste are the most common causes of bathroom drain clogs. You can install simple drain covers to collect your loose hair while washing out in the shower. We also recommend running hot water when you brush your teeth, so your toothpaste doesn't harden in your pipes.
  • Kitchen Drains – Oil, grease, and bits of food are the main culprits clogging kitchen drains. When cleaning your kitchen after a meal, these elements get washed down your drain. Oil and grease are particularly bad because they harden inside your pipes. While garbage disposal can help, you still need to avoid washing specific foods down your drain, such as fibrous vegetables, meat, and bones.
  • Floor Drains – Dust, dirt, and leaves typically clog your floor drains. You’ll find these drains in laundry rooms, basements, and garages. Clogged floor drains can damage your floors. While these drains are often out of sight, you should stay on top of cleaning them regularly.
  • Laundry Drains – Your laundry drain can end up with detergent, hair, and other buildup that slows or stops the water flow. These drains must stay clear in case a water leak or another issue causes the liquid to pool on your laundry room floor.

Services We Provide

  • Figuring out if your sink is draining is one of the best starting points when identifying a clogged drain. If you have a clogged drain, Mr. Rooter Plumbing of the Twin Cities provides a list of simple ways to fix it:

    • You can try using an eco-friendly drain cleaner like BioChoice to resolve a clog in your drain. Products like BioChoice are effective at clearing drains without hurting the environment.
    • If your drain still has some water movement, let it drain while preparing a pot or kettle of hot water. Boiled water is an excellent way to clear clogs caused by hardened oil and fats. After most or all the water drains, carefully pour hot water into your drain. Be sure to schedule routine cleanings and inspections if your pipes start draining effectively.
    • Using a plunger and drain snake is another simple way to get rid of clogs. Sink plungers are smaller and easier to manage, so you can use them to bring the clog close to the top. After plunging, you can pull the material out of your pipe using a drain snake. You should throw away that material in your trash instead of flushing it down your pipe.
    • Calling a plumber is your next step if you still have a clog. An average drain snake cannot snag clogs that are too deep, such as tree roots causing clogs. This clog type requires more extensive plumbing solutions. In any case, you want to avoid using chemicals, including caustic chemicals. These products are harmful to people with exposure and can damage your drains.
