Call (507) 821-2564 to schedule sewer or drain service in North Central Iowa.
Drain Cleaning and Main Sewer Line Service
We clean and clear drains throughout your home or business, including:
- Kitchen sinks
- Bathroom sinks
- Showers and bathtubs
- Toilets
- Laundry drains
- Basement and garage floor drains
- Commercial drains
- Main sewer lines
Our service vehicles are equipped with professional cable machines, drain snakes, jetting equipment, sewer cameras, and other specialized tools for clearing many common drain and sewer blockages.
When several drains back up at the same time or wastewater appears in a basement floor drain, the problem may be in the main sewer line. We give urgent sewer backups scheduling priority whenever possible.
More Than Just Clearing the Clog
Recurring drain and sewer problems may be caused by more than a simple blockage. Tree roots, grease, corrosion, heavy scale, damaged joints, or deteriorated pipe can cause repeated backups.
General Rooter of Iowa provides diagnostic, cleaning, rehabilitation, and replacement services to help identify and address the underlying problem.

Sewer Camera Inspections
When a sewer line repeatedly backs up or the cause of a blockage is unclear, a video camera inspection can help determine what is happening inside the pipe.
A sewer camera may identify:
- Tree-root intrusion
- Grease and debris
- Heavy scale or corrosion
- Cracks and broken pipe
- Separated or misaligned joints
- Bellied or sagging sections
- Collapsed pipe
- Foreign objects
- The location of a blockage or damaged section
Seeing the condition of the pipe helps us determine whether cleaning, descaling, trenchless repair, or replacement should be considered.
Hydro Jetting and Pipe Descaling
Some drain and sewer lines need more than conventional cable cleaning.
Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water and specialized nozzles to remove grease, sludge, debris, and other buildup from the inside of pipes.
Older cast-iron sewer lines may develop heavy rust, corrosion, and hardened scale. Mechanical pipe descaling can remove this buildup, improve the interior surface, and restore more of the pipe's usable capacity.
Our technicians evaluate the pipe and the type of blockage before recommending the cleaning method.
Trenchless Sewer Repair and Pipe Replacement
When a sewer line is damaged, cleaning alone may not correct the problem.
Depending on the condition and configuration of the existing pipe, General Rooter of Iowa may recommend:
- Cured-in-place pipe lining
- Pipe bursting
- Pipe splitting
- Traditional excavation and replacement
A sewer camera inspection helps us evaluate the line and determine which repair method may be appropriate.
