There are many reasons you may have a clogged basement drain. Some of these are well within your control, but in all cases, if you act early enough and call a basement drain plumber, you can stop the issue from developing.
Dirt and Debris
Every homeowner has pulled a clog of hair out of their plughole on occasion, and it should give you an idea of just how destructive those clogs can be. They’re thick, stubborn, and they can stick to other clogs, including soap and dirt. If you don’t clear this basement drain backup, it will accumulate, grow, and eventually cause a complete blockage.
A Blockage in the Main Line
If the blockage sits further down your sewer line, you may need a specialized hydro drain jetting to remove it. We can clear a clogged basement drain using high-pressure water jets directed at the blockage, blasting it away without damaging your pipes.
Root Intrusions
Tree roots can snake into your pipes in search of moisture. Once there, they can cause serious damage to the pipework. They’ll keep spreading, and if you don’t clear them, they could destroy your pipework.
Collapsed Pipes
Many Rochester homes rely on aging pipes. Not only are these pipes more prone to damage caused by tree root intrusions and ground movement, but as they degrade over the years, they could crack or collapse. With floor drain repair in Rochester from Mr. Rooter®, we’ll assess the damage and recommend a fast and efficient repair.

If you recently paid someone to install new drains and you’re already experiencing problems, they may have fitted them incorrectly. That’s the benefit of working with a professional that guarantees their work, and it’s why we back everything we do with the Neighborly Done Right Promise.
