Clearing Stubborn Drains Across Ames Neighborhoods
Whether you live in an established neighborhood near downtown Ames or a family subdivision near Iowa State University, clogged drains are a hassle nobody wants to deal with. Over time, hair, soap residue, food scraps, and cooking grease build up inside your pipes until water has nowhere to go. Pouring harsh chemical cleaners down the sink is not only dangerous, but it can also weaken plastic and metal pipes. Our friendly technicians use electric drain snakes with rotating blades that safely clean the entire inside of your pipes, restoring full, free-flowing drainage.
If multiple drains in your Ames home are backing up at once - for example, if running a bath causes the downstairs toilet to gurgle or water to pool around your basement floor drain - the blockage is in your main sewer line. Tree roots from mature yard trees frequently creep into older sewer pipe joints in search of water. We carry commercial-grade rooter machines that slice through tree roots and thick sludge, opening the line back up and keeping your basement safe from dirty backups.

Answers to Common Questions
Why is my kitchen sink gurgling when I run water?
Gurgling sounds mean air is struggling to pass through a partially blocked pipe. Snaking the line clears the trapped debris and stops the gurgling.
Can drain snaking damage modern PVC pipes in Ames homes?
No. Modern PVC pipe is very strong. Our experienced plumbers choose the right cable size and operate at safe speeds to clear clogs without harming your pipes.
What should I do if my basement floor drain starts bubbling?
Stop running any water in the house immediately and call us at (888) 205-7875 so we can clear your main sewer line before it overflows.
