What Clog Busters Responds to Across the Des Moines Metro
Sewer Line Backup
Wastewater coming back through drains or toilets creates a health concern and needs immediate attention. This type of issue affects the entire system and requires professional clearing.
Overflowing or Completely Blocked Drain
When water is standing or spilling out of a sink, tub, or floor drain, the line needs to be cleared promptly to prevent further spread.
Burst or Leaking Pipe
A damaged pipe can release water quickly into walls, floors, or ceilings. Turning off the main water supply helps limit damage until repairs can be made.
Water Heater Failure
A unit that stops producing hot water or begins leaking can disrupt the home and may require same-day service, especially during colder months.
Toilet Failure
Overflowing or non-functioning toilets—particularly in homes with a single bathroom—require immediate attention to restore basic use.
Main Line Blockage
When multiple fixtures back up at the same time, the issue is often in the main sewer line. This affects the entire drainage system and needs to be addressed at the source.
Frozen or Burst Supply Lines
Cold Iowa winters can freeze exposed pipes. When those pipes thaw, they may crack or burst, requiring repair before water service can safely resume.
What Des Moines Metro Homeowners Should Do During a Plumbing Emergency
- Turn off the main water supply
If there is active leaking or a burst pipe, shutting off the main valve helps prevent further water damage. This valve is often located near the water meter or in a utility space. - Pause water use inside the home
If a sewer backup is suspected, avoid using sinks, toilets, or appliances. Additional water can worsen the situation. - Take a quick photo of the issue
A photo of the affected area can help the technician understand the situation before arriving and prepare accordingly. - Call Clog Busters — [PHONE NUMBER]
Available 24 hours a day across the Des Moines metro to respond and assess the situation.
Drain Auger or Hydro Jetting: Which Does Your Blockage Require?
- When auger service makes sense:
Most everyday clogs—like hair, grease, or debris in a single drain—are handled quickly with an auger. It’s fast, effective, and requires minimal setup. - When hydro jetting is the better option:
If buildup has spread along the pipe walls or the problem keeps returning, high-pressure cleaning may be needed to fully clear the line. - When to move to camera inspection:
If clearing attempts don’t resolve the issue or backups continue, a camera inspection can reveal whether there’s structural damage or a deeper problem.
