If you’re staring at a slow sink, a gurgling toilet, or a shower that leaves you ankle-deep in water, you need a fix that actually lasts from a drain cleaning company you can trust. Family Roots Plumbing provides drain cleaning throughout the Main Line and across Montgomery, Chester, and Delaware counties. We pride ourselves on delivering clean, careful work and clear communication from start to finish.
When a drain won’t cooperate, our team moves quickly with reliable clogged drain services and treats your home with care. We pick up fast (24-hour answering service), schedule efficiently, and arrive ready to work. After the repair, we tidy the area—often leaving it cleaner than when we started. For tough sewer issues, we bring the right tools, including a hydro-vac for safe, precise digging.
From kitchen sinks to main sewers, most clogs and slow drains come down to a few usual suspects:
Stubborn kitchen or bath clogs need more than a plunger. We diagnose the real cause and clear it completely. If a fixture is contributing to repeat problems, we can help with targeted solutions like kitchen plumbing repair to stop backups at the source.
Here’s how we clear drains—and help keep them clear—without guesswork.
Snaking breaks through common obstructions quickly. We choose the right cable and head for your line size to restore flow while protecting your pipes.
When clogs keep coming back, there’s a reason. Our cameras show what’s happening inside the pipe, whether it’s roots, scale, bellies, or debris, so you get the right fix and documentation of the pipe’s condition.
Some lines need more power. Hydro jetting scours grease, sludge, and scale to restore capacity, which is especially helpful for kitchen lines and long runs. If the issue extends to the building main, our sewer cleaning services address the whole system, not just the symptom.
A drain clog isn’t just an inconvenience. Over time, it can cause water damage. Call us if you notice any of the following problems at your home:
Based in Wayne, PA, we’re local to the Main Line and nearby communities, including King of Prussia, Gladwyne, Wayne, Devon, Chesterbrook, Malvern, West Chester, and Phoenixville. We also serve surrounding neighborhoods across Montgomery, Chester, and Delaware counties.
Homeowners choose us for craftsmanship, responsiveness, and respect for their homes. If your clog can’t wait, ask about our same-day plumber service. We’ll prioritize urgent backups and keep you informed every step of the way. Contact us today to schedule your drain cleaning service and get peace of mind that the problem will be taken care of quickly and correctly.

We had a serious crack in our sewer stack. We called Family Roots, who has provided us with excellent plumbing services for many years. They sent Dave and Jim to fix the problem. These two did a perfect job. They worked efficiently and cleanly and provided an excellent service for a very reasonable price. We couldn't be happierPosted on Google![]()

10/10 pipe seized on us on Friday night at 10:30 and Ray was at my house at 8am on the dot to Fix me up. He did not recommend anything we did not need. There’s not another plumber I will ever use. Ray is GREAT.Posted on Google![]()

Nick was absolutely incredible! He worked so hard in the pouring rain to unclog our main pipe- he skillfully used every piece of equipment he could think of to remove a 3in wiffle ball from a 4in pipe. We are so grateful for his expertise and time. We would recommend him and this company to anyone who needs help. Professional, kind, patient and truly dedicated to the customer and their needs. Thank you Nick!+0Posted on Google![]()

Yes, we offer same-day drain cleaning. Our 24-hour answering service routes urgent calls immediately, and we often provide same-day service depending on schedule and severity. Treat active sewage backups as urgent and call now.
Professional drain cleaning targets the actual blockage with mechanical tools and, when needed, camera verification. Store-bought chemical drain cleaners can damage pipes and fixtures and rarely solve the root cause.
Hydro jetting is best when grease, sludge, or heavy scale coats the pipe and keeps catching debris. Snaking can open a path, but jetting scours the pipe wall to restore capacity.
Frequent toilet backups often indicate a partial obstruction in the main line, scale buildup, or root intrusion. A camera inspection pinpoints the cause so we can clear it properly and help prevent repeat clogs.
Yes, we can do a camera inspection before we begin work. If symptoms suggest a deeper issue—or you’ve had repeat clogs—we can perform a video camera inspection first to confirm what’s happening and choose the right solution.
