WARNING SIGNS

When Should You Call for Emergency Drain Cleaning

In the Des Moines area, these are the most common signs it’s time to bring in a drain professional.

Slow or Standing Water

Water that drains slowly or pools usually means buildup is narrowing the line.

Gurgling Fixtures

Air trapped behind a partial blockage makes drains and toilets gurgle.

Odors From the Drain

Persistent smells often point to trapped debris or venting problems.

Recurring Clogs

A clog that keeps coming back is a symptom, not the problem itself.

Multiple Fixtures Affected

When several drains act up at once, the issue is deeper in the system.

“Javi and Zach were amazing! I called in the morning at 10:30AM (on a sunday too) with not a lot of hope our sewage backup issue will be resolved within the day. Javi and Zach came around 1:30pm and helped us out. They were very easy to talk to, did a wonderful job explaining what was wrong with our sewage pipe and took care of the root for us. They were here for almost 5 hours working nonstop. Javi even explained to us what to do in order to prevent this from happening in the future. We had a great experience with Clog Busters and recommend this company.”

“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.”
