Drain Cleaning versus Drain Clearing
If a sewer & drain service company advertising “drain clearing” service, that usually means they’ll puncture a hole in the clog to “clear” the drain, or get it flowing again. Unfortunately, the clog usually reforms within days or weeks and you’re right back where you started. At Roto-Rooter, we don’t just clear (open) drains, we clean the entire pipeline from end to end so it stays clean and clear for a longer time period. And we guarantee our drain cleanings for six months.
Don’t be fooled by cheap “drain clearing” or “drain opening” claims. Those deals might seem irresistible at just $69 or $99, but in most cases they are too good to be true. Insist on a full-service drain cleaning that cuts out every bit of the blockage, including tree roots shaved right down to the pipe walls - the Roto-Rooter way! And check the guarantee period those other companies offer, and what it covers. Many drain clearing services only offer a 30-day guarantee. That’s by design, because when your drain backs up again, they’ll have the opportunity to come back and upsell you a full drain cleaning or convince you that your sewer needs to be replaced.
