Led by owner Jarod Smith, Clog Busters serves homeowners across Iowa, Michigan, and Missouri with professional-grade equipment and a clear, straightforward approach. Whether it’s a single clogged drain or a system-wide issue, the goal is always the same: identify the problem, clear it efficiently, and confirm everything is flowing as it should.

All work is performed to the plumbing codes adopted in each state and community we serve.

EVERY DRAIN TYPE

Every Drain Type. Every Home We Serve.

Across Iowa, Michigan, and Missouri, these are the most common signs it’s time to bring in a drain professional.

Kitchen Drain Lines

Food waste, grease, and soap residue gradually coat kitchen pipes, restricting flow over time. These are among the most common service calls and are typically resolved quickly with professional cleaning.

Bathroom Drain Lines

Hair combined with soap buildup creates dense blockages in showers, tubs, and sinks. Left untreated, these clogs worsen until water begins to pool or drain slowly.

Toilet Lines

Flushing items that don’t break down properly can block toilet drains. Professional cleaning removes the obstruction safely without damaging the fixture or the pipe.

Laundry Drain Lines

Lint and detergent residue build up inside laundry lines, often going unnoticed until drainage slows or backs up. Cleaning restores full flow and prevents overflow.

Floor Drain Lines

Basement and utility drains collect sediment and debris over time, especially when rarely used. A blockage here can lead to water accumulation and potential damage.

Main Sewer Lines

When several drains are affected at once, the issue often lies in the main sewer line. Clearing this line restores the entire system and ensures proper drainage throughout the home.

PROFESSIONAL VS DIY

Why Professional Drain Cleaning Outperforms DIY

Protect your home from backups and keep everything flowing with professional drain service.

  1. 01

    Greater Reach Into the System

    Store-bought tools only reach a limited distance, often leaving the main obstruction untouched. Professional equipment is designed to access the full length of the drain line.

  2. 02

    Continuous Powered Clearing

    Motorized tools break apart and remove debris efficiently, while manual snakes tend to push clogs further down the pipe.

  3. 03

    Right Method for Each Blockage

    A professional evaluates whether an auger or hydro jetting is the better solution. DIY tools offer a single approach regardless of the situation.

  4. 04

    Lower Risk to Your Pipes

    Improper technique can damage older materials like cast iron or clay. Professional handling minimizes that risk and protects the integrity of the system.

What a Clog Busters Drain Cleaning Visit Looks Like

A clear, proven process, from the first inspection to a verified fix.

  1. Evaluate the Situation First

    Before starting, the technician identifies where the blockage is and what’s likely causing it. If there are signs of deeper issues, such as recurring backups, a camera inspection may be recommended before proceeding.

  2. Match the Tool to the Problem

    Not every clog is the same. Standard obstructions are cleared with a professional auger, while heavier buildup or recurring issues may require hydro jetting. The approach is tailored to the condition of the line.

  3. Clear the Line and Test Flow

    Once the blockage is removed, water is run through the system to ensure drainage has fully returned to normal. This step confirms the issue has been properly resolved.

  4. Explain What Was Found

    If the cleaning process reveals underlying concerns - such as root intrusion or pipe damage - the technician explains what’s happening and what options are available moving forward.

“Nick and Austin have saved the day when my basement drain was overflowing. Turns out there was a massive buildup of black sludge in my water line. They were both very professional and informative throughout the whole process. I would highly recommend this great team! I will be using them for all of my plumbing and drain cleaning needs.”

“I had Matt from Clog Busters out to do a sewer inspection on a house I am in contract to buy and he did a great job! Overall, a great experience and I would recommended Clog Busters to my family and friends in the future.”

“I needed a main line cleared and another company charged me and still didn't fix the problem (3 Mountains Plumbing). Clog Busters came to the rescue and was very fair and honest with us. I really appreciate a company like Clog Busters and they will be my first call next time anything backs up.”

“Great service-showed up on time, nice, professional, quickly figured out the problem, worked quickly, reasonable price. My only reservation is that he could have cleaned up better after the work was done. Not a big deal, just not perfect. I have used this company multiple times and have always found them to be great.”
