What we do
Drains, sewer lines, and the small jobs in between
We stay in our lane on purpose. Sixty-plus years of doing one thing well means we have already seen whatever is in your line — roots, grease, wipes, a kid's toothbrush.
-
Drain cleaning
Cleared with a cable machine sized to the line — not a bottle of chemicals. We run water afterward to make sure it stays clear before we pack up.
- Kitchen sinks
- Tubs & showers
- Floor drains
- Laundry standpipes
-
Sewer line cleaning
Main line backups from the house out to the city tap. We cut roots, clear the blockage, and tell you plainly whether the line needs more than a cleaning.

Traps, branch lines and under-sink drains that leak, sag or keep clogging. Small repairs done now, don't wait for them to become bigger problems.

Why neighbors call us
Same family, same phone number, since 1961.
Des Moines Drain & Sewer opened its doors the year the first Des Moines interstate lanes did, and we have been clearing drains across the metro ever since — long enough that we have cleaned the same house for a grandparent, a parent and a kid.
Owner Paul Floyd holds a master plumber's license and still runs calls himself. That is the whole pitch: when you call, you get a plumber who will tell you plainly whether the line needs a cleaning or a repair, and who has no reason to talk you into the bigger one.
