OVERVIEW
Fast, Reliable Drain Cleaning
Across Iowa, Michigan & Missouri
Drain cleaning isn’t just one of the services Clog Busters offers - it’s the foundation of the business. This is a company built specifically to diagnose and clear drains, not a general plumbing service that handles it occasionally. Every tool, every process, and every technician is focused on solving drainage problems quickly and correctly.
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. Same-day service is available from our local branches in Des Moines, North Liberty, and Oskaloosa, Iowa; Grand Rapids, Michigan; and the Lake of the Ozarks, Missouri.
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.
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.
-
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.
-
02
Continuous Powered Clearing
Motorized tools break apart and remove debris efficiently, while manual snakes tend to push clogs further down the pipe.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
