Drain cleaning in Lansing and Holt
Slow shower, kitchen disposal backup, basement laundry overflow, or roots in the main — years of local drain work, brought to your door. If it's supposed to drain and doesn't, call Roger the Plumber.

How we clear drains
- Talk through symptoms — which fixture, how fast it backs up, any sewer smell.
- Diagnose the likely entry point (fixture trap vs. branch vs. main).
- Cable snake the line with professional equipment.
- Advise honestly if a camera or excavation looks necessary — we won't invent scope.
- Test flow and walk you through prevention when roots are a recurring issue.
Lansing floor drains & snowmelt
Many Lansing homes have floor drains that let groundwater and meltwater into the sewer system. Add a heavy rain or snowmelt to a plugged sewer and you have a recipe for a basement flood. Get tree roots cleaned out of the main before spring melt — especially on the Eastside and other older neighborhoods. See also plumbing in Lansing.
When to call
- Multiple fixtures slow at once (often a main-line issue)
- Gurgling toilets or sewer odor
- Recurring kitchen or laundry backups
- After leaf season or heavy freeze/thaw cycles
