Professional drain cleaning for homes and businesses with clogged or slow drains. Fast solutions to restore flow and prevent bigger plumbing problems.
We clear clogged drains in Rhode Island homes and businesses every single day. Kitchen sinks, bathroom drains, tubs, showers, floor drains, laundry lines, main sewer lines, it doesn't matter where the clog is, we've got the tools on the truck to handle it on the spot.
Our guys show up, figure out what's blocking the line, clear it, and confirm the water's flowing right before they leave. If something looks off during the cleaning, like roots in the main line or a pipe that's starting to go, we'll let you know. We won't ignore it, and we won't push you into a repair you don't need. You get the real picture, you decide what happens next.
RooterMan Services | Rhode Island's Trusted Drain Cleaning and Sewer Specialist
A clogged drain gets worse over time, not better. What starts as a slow sink or a shower that pools around your feet turns into a full backup if you leave it alone. Grease builds up in kitchen lines, hair and soap collect in bathroom pipes, and tree roots work their way into main sewer lines. None of that fixes itself.
We handle drain cleaning for residential and commercial properties across Rhode Island, including Providence, Warwick, Cranston, Pawtucket, East Providence, and Johnston. We bring the right equipment for each job: drain snakes for standard clogs, hydro jetting for heavy buildup, and sewer cameras when we need to see what's going on deeper in the line.
What we clean:
| Drain Type | Common Causes |
|---|---|
| Kitchen sinks | Grease, food buildup, soap |
| Bathroom sinks | Hair, toothpaste, soap scum |
| Shower and tub drains | Hair, soap, mineral deposits |
| Floor drains | Dirt, debris, sediment |
| Laundry drains | Lint, detergent buildup |
| Main sewer line | Tree roots, grease, pipe damage |
Not sure if it's time to call? These are the things to watch for.
Water that takes longer than usual to go down is the first sign of a partial clog. It means something is narrowing the pipe, whether that's grease, hair, or mineral buildup, and it's only going to get tighter.
If your drains make noise when water goes down, air is getting trapped somewhere in the line. That usually means there's a blockage pushing air back through the system, and it's a sign things are about to get worse.
A sewer smell from your sink or shower drain means organic material is sitting in the pipe and decomposing. Running water won't fix it. The buildup needs to come out.
When water comes back up through a drain, the clog is serious enough that it's blocking flow completely. This can happen in sinks, tubs, showers, or floor drains, and if it's the main line, it can affect every fixture in the house.
One slow drain is a local problem. Two or three at the same time usually means the main sewer line is partially blocked. That's not a DIY fix, and waiting will make the cleanup a lot bigger.
Dealing with slow or clogged drains? We'll fix it before it turns into a bigger problem.
Sam H. came out to replace a gas shut-off valve. Super friendly and knowledgeable. Said it would take an hour, but he was in and out in 45 minutes — had everything he needed with him. Definitely 5-star service. Would use them in the future and highly recommend.
Amazing workmanship! This company is an absolute pleasure. Kevin and his team did an incredible job fixing my boiler, oil tank and old plumbing issues. They worked non-stop, will definitely have them back for anything else I need. Thank you!
I used Rooter Man for help emptying out my parents' house. They were able to provide quick service, were fairly priced, and a pleasure to work with. I'd definitely give them my highest recommendation.
Such a pleasure to have Mark work in my home. He came right out to assess the problem and thankfully the procedure was repairable within the day. Mark was very pleasant, professional, respectful and an amazing worker. A great clean job. Absolutely will use this company again.
I've been using Rooterman for 20 years and am still very impressed by their promptness, customer service, and expertise.
I received extremely prompt service from Rooterman Plumbing of Johnston, R.I., in addition to the low price they gave me. I highly recommend them to anyone! They were courteous and highly professional. Nice to see there are still pros nowadays!
Excellent service, came when expected, took about an hour. Spoke with Mark. Fixed an old toilet with lime build-up and debris blocking water jets. Also provided quotes for a new toilet. Would recommend them.
Bert and Kevin came quickly and did a wonderful job putting in a new heating unit that works like a gem. They were professional and personable, and it was a pleasure to meet them. They did a great job!
Clear answers so you know what to expect before scheduling our service.
We remove blockages, buildup, and debris from your pipes to get water flowing normally again. Depending on what's causing the clog, we use drain snakes, hydro jetting, or a combination of both. For tougher jobs, we run a camera through the line first so we know exactly what we're dealing with before we start.
Most single drain clogs take 30 to 60 minutes. If the main sewer line is involved or we need to run a camera inspection first, it can take 1 to 2 hours. We'll give you a time estimate before we start so you can plan around it.
It depends on the location of the clog and the method we use to clear it. A simple sink or tub drain is going to cost less than a main sewer line cleaning that requires hydro jetting. We give free estimates upfront, so you know the price before any work starts.
You can try a plunger or a basic hand snake for minor sink or tub clogs. But if the water isn't moving at all, if multiple drains are slow, or if you're getting sewer smells, it's something deeper in the line that needs professional equipment. Store-bought drain cleaners can actually damage your pipes over time, so we don't recommend those.
For most homes, once a year is enough to prevent buildup from turning into a clog. If you have older pipes, lots of trees near your sewer line, or a commercial kitchen, you might want to do it every 6 months. We offer maintenance plans that make it easy to stay on schedule.
