Drain Cleaning & Sewer Services We Provide
From one stubborn sink drain to a larger sewer concern, RHD provides professional solutions to help get your plumbing flowing properly again.
Sink Drain Cleaning
Kitchen and bathroom drains can collect buildup over time and become slow or completely blocked. Our plumbers clear stubborn clogs and check for issues that may be contributing to repeated problems.
Toilet Drain Cleaning
If your toilet keeps clogging or drains slowly even after plunging, the blockage may be farther into the drain line. We diagnose the problem and clear the obstruction so the fixture can work properly again.
Floor Drain Cleaning
Basement and utility room floor drains play an important role in carrying water away from your home. We clear blocked floor drains and inspect the surrounding plumbing for potential causes of recurring backups.
Laundry Drain Cleaning
A clogged laundry drain can lead to slow drainage, overflowing, or water around your washing machine. RHD can clear the blockage and check the drain line for additional concerns.
Main Sewer Line Cleaning
When several fixtures begin backing up at the same time, the main sewer line may be involved. Our team assesses the problem, clears accessible blockages, and recommends additional service when needed.
Sewer Inspection & Diagnosis
Recurring sewer problems should not be treated as a guessing game. RHD can evaluate sewer and drainage concerns to help identify what is causing the issue and determine the right next step.
Drain Repair
Not every drainage problem is caused by buildup. Damaged, leaking, or deteriorated piping may require repair. If we find a larger plumbing issue, we explain your options clearly before additional work begins.
Routine Drain Maintenance
You do not have to wait for a complete blockage to call a plumber. Routine drain service can help address buildup and repeated drainage issues before they become more disruptive.
How Our Drain & Sewer Service Works
RHD keeps the process straightforward so you know what is happening and what comes next.
Tell Us What You’re Seeing
We start by learning about the problem, whether it is a slow sink, recurring toilet clog, multiple backed-up fixtures, or a more serious sewer concern.
Find the Source
Our plumber evaluates the affected drain and surrounding plumbing to determine where the blockage or problem is likely occurring.
Clear or Repair the Problem
Once the issue is identified, we use the appropriate professional tools to clear the blockage or complete the necessary repair.
Test the System
Before we leave, we make sure water is draining properly and explain what we found, what was done, and whether any additional service is recommended.
Signs You May Need Drain or Sewer Service
A slow drain may seem like a small problem, but recurring clogs, backups, odors, and gurgling can point to a blockage deeper in your plumbing system.
If several drains are acting up at once, the issue may be connected to your main sewer line.
Common warning signs include:
- Water draining slowly from sinks, tubs, or showers
- Toilets that clog or back up repeatedly
- Gurgling sounds coming from drains
- Water backing up into another fixture
- Unpleasant drain or sewer odors
- Multiple slow drains at the same time
- Water appearing around basement or floor drains
RHD’s licensed plumbers can help determine whether you are dealing with a simple clog or a larger drainage or sewer problem.
A Better Solution Than Fighting the Same Clog
A drain that keeps slowing down or backing up usually needs more than another temporary fix.

FAQs
When should I call a plumber for a clogged drain?
Call a plumber when a drain will not clear, keeps clogging again, drains unusually slowly, or causes water to back up into another fixture. Repeated problems often mean the blockage is farther down the line or that another plumbing issue is involved.
What types of drains does RHD clean?
RHD provides drain cleaning for sink drains, toilet drains, floor drains, laundry drains, main sewer lines, and other household drainage systems.
Why does my drain keep clogging?
A recurring clog can be caused by buildup, an obstruction farther inside the drain line, or a larger problem with the plumbing system. A professional inspection can help identify why the same issue keeps returning.
How do I know if I have a main sewer line problem?
If several drains or fixtures become slow or back up at the same time, the issue may involve the main sewer line. Lower-level drains can also show symptoms first. RHD can evaluate the plumbing and help determine where the problem is located.
Should I use chemical drain cleaner?
Chemical drain cleaners may provide temporary relief in some situations, but they do not always solve the underlying problem and can be harsh on plumbing materials. For stubborn or recurring clogs, professional drain cleaning is the safer and more reliable option.
Is a sewer backup an emergency?
It can be. Wastewater backing up into your home can lead to property damage and sanitation concerns. If sewage is actively entering the home or several fixtures are backing up, visit our Emergency Plumbing Services page for urgent help.
Can RHD help if several drains are clogged?
Yes. Multiple clogged or slow drains can point to a larger sewer or drainage issue. Our plumbers can evaluate the affected fixtures and determine whether the problem is isolated or connected to the main drainage system.
Does RHD provide sewer inspections?
Yes. RHD can inspect and diagnose sewer and drainage concerns when recurring backups or drainage problems suggest there may be a larger issue.
Can drain cleaning help prevent future clogs?
Routine drain maintenance can help address buildup before it becomes a complete blockage. If your home has drains that regularly slow down or clog, our plumbers can advise whether ongoing maintenance makes sense.
What if the drain pipe is damaged?
If the issue turns out to involve damaged piping rather than just a blockage, RHD can explain the repair options available. Our Service Plumbing team can address many of the related plumbing problems found during service.
Do you provide drain cleaning outside Madison?
Yes. RHD serves homeowners throughout the Madison area and surrounding communities, including Waunakee, Middleton, Verona, Fitchburg, Sun Prairie, Stoughton, DeForest, Windsor, Sauk City, Prairie du Sac, and more.
