Clogged Drain
All plumbing systems eventually develop clogs. Most of the time, it’s just the slow buildup of common items that go down the drain, such as hair, grease, food scraps, or soap scum. Over time, these materials stick to the pipe walls, restricting water flow and causing a blockage. No matter the cause of your drain and sewer problems, RooterMan has the professional expertise to solve them.
If your drains are clogged, backing up, or smelling bad, it can be a stressful situation. When you call RooterMan, a local technician will arrive at your Summit County property, quickly diagnose the problem, and eliminate the cause. Our drain cleaning specialists are highly skilled and always come equipped with the right tools for the job—from simple augers for minor clogs to high-powered equipment for more serious obstructions. With our extensive experience, we guarantee the job is done right the first time.
We Handle All Types of Clogged Drains
No matter where the blockage is, our team has the tools and experience to fix it. We specialize in:
- Kitchen Drains - Clogs caused by grease, fats, soap, and food waste from garbage disposals. We can clear the line without damaging your pipes.
- Bathroom Drains - From sinks clogged with toothpaste and hair to shower and tub drains backed up with soap scum, we clear them all quickly.
- Toilet Clogs - A clogged toilet can be a messy emergency. We can resolve the issue fast, whether it's a simple clog or a sign of a deeper sewer line problem.
- Floor Drains - Drains in basements, laundry rooms, and garages can clog with dirt and debris, leading to flooding. We ensure they are clear and ready to protect your property.
- Main Sewer Line - All your home's drains lead to the main sewer line. If you're experiencing multiple backups at once, we can diagnose and clear the main line clog to get your entire system running smoothly again.
Here are some of the methods RooterMan can use to get your drain flowing again:
- Cabling or Snaking - a drain snake, also known as an electric eel, is typically the first attempt to rid your drain pipes of built up sludge, food, hair, or other common drain clogging items. Drain snakes can also be used to remove tree roots from big drain and sewer pipes too. A drain snake is a long flexible metal coil that is inserted into drain pipes while it is spun at high speeds in an effort to remove obstructions in the pipe.
- Water Jetting - this method can be used for more troublesome jobs and involves using powerful water pumps that shoot high pressure water through flexible hoses that are ran through your drain and sewer pipes. A specialized nozzle is mounted on the end of the hose which concentrates high pressure water on the walls of the pipes and flushes them out. This is one of the most environmentally friendly ways to clean drain pipes and it can flush debris out of even the most clogged of pipes.

Frequently Asked Questions
The cost depends on the location and severity of the clog. A simple clog in a sink or toilet will cost less than a major blockage in your main sewer line that requires hydro jetting. We provide transparent, upfront pricing before any work begins.
We strongly advise against using liquid chemical drain cleaners. These caustic chemicals can cause serious damage to your pipes (especially older ones), are harmful to the environment, and often fail to fully clear the blockage, leading to recurring problems.
To prevent clogs, avoid pouring grease or oil down the kitchen sink, use a hair catcher in your shower drain, and only flush human waste and toilet paper. We also recommend scheduling routine drain cleaning every 1-2 years to keep your pipes clear.
A simple clog will typically only affect a single drain (e.g., one slow-draining sink). If you are experiencing backups in multiple drains, gurgling toilets, and water backing up in the shower when you use the washing machine, you likely have a more serious main sewer line clog that requires immediate professional attention.
Yes. We understand that a major backup can't wait. We offer prompt and reliable emergency services to tackle your most urgent clogged drain problems and prevent water damage to your home or business.
