  • Basement floor drains are designed to collect excess water and direct it safely away from your home. These drains help protect your property from flooding during heavy rains, plumbing leaks, or when appliances like water heaters and washing machines overflow. However, when a floor drain becomes clogged or damaged, it can quickly turn into a major problem—leading to standing water, structural damage, mold growth, and even hazardous sewage backups.

  • At Mr. Rooter Plumbing, we’ve seen it all. Our licensed plumbers are equipped to diagnose and fix a wide variety of floor drain problems, including:

    1. Clogged Drains: Dirt, debris, soap scum, hair, and grease can all build up over time, causing floor drains to slow down or back up entirely.
    2. Tree Root Infiltration: Roots from nearby trees can grow into the drainage line, blocking flow and damaging the pipes.
    3. Collapsed or Damaged Pipes: Older homes may suffer from deteriorating pipes that can break, shift, or collapse, especially under a concrete basement floor.
    4. Improper Drainage Slope: If your basement drain system isn’t properly graded, water may not flow out effectively, leading to frequent pooling and backups.
    5. Foul Odors or Gurgling Sounds: These are signs of a partial blockage or deeper sewer line issue that needs immediate attention.

    No matter the problem, our team delivers fast, reliable service to identify the root cause and resolve it efficiently.

  • Don’t wait for a flood to address a drainage issue. If you notice any of the following warning signs, it’s time to call Mr. Rooter Plumbing:

    • Slow-draining water or frequent backups
    • Water pooling near the basement floor drain
    • Strong sewer odors from the drain
    • Gurgling noises when water flows through other fixtures
    • Visible water damage or mold near the drain
