Clog Busters started as one Iowa drain truck and Des Moines is still the busiest board we run. Camera down the line first, a written price second, and a stocked van already pointed at your side of the metro.
Answered day or night. Ask for a same day window and we will give you an honest one.
Hub and ring. Every metro call is dispatched from the middle, outward.
The metro ring
Ankeny, Clive, Johnston, Urbandale and Waukee are not a footer list on this site. They are the ring the board dispatches around, and each one gets a truck from the middle rather than a call passed to somebody else's schedule.
The older neighbourhoods closer to downtown still have clay tile in the ground. Joints open, roots find them, and a cable buys time rather than fixing it. The camera tells you which one you are dealing with.
A winter of freeze and thaw heaves shallow runs and pulls joints out of line. Spring backups often turn out to be a belly or an offset that opened up, not a fresh clog.
Out on the ring the pipe is newer, so the trouble is usually construction debris, a poor slope, or a lateral that was never scoped after backfill. Different problem, same camera.
This is the busiest board Clog Busters runs. A person picks up, the job goes on the board, and you get a window we can actually hold instead of a promise nobody keeps.
Flat rate through an accessible cleanout, camera look included. If the line needs more than a cable you get the footage and a written price before anyone touches it. [Confirm offer terms, expiry and any exclusions before publishing.]
What the metro calls us for
The full service set runs in Des Moines. Septic is the one exception and it belongs to the Kaiser, Missouri market.
Kitchen, bath, laundry and main lines cleared with the right cutter head, not a guess.

Learn moreHigh pressure water scours grease and scale back to bare pipe so the clog does not come back in a month.
Learn moreCamera inspection, line locating and a plain reading of what the footage actually shows.
Learn moreBacked up main at 11pm in Beaverdale, a water heater letting go on a Sunday in Ankeny. A person answers the 515 line and a stocked van gets dispatched.

Learn moreHow a 515 call runs
You describe what you are seeing. We tell you honestly whether it can wait until morning.
Camera down the line before anything else, so the diagnosis is footage rather than a hunch.
A written number for the actual fix, approved by you, before the work starts.
Line runs, floor gets wiped, you keep the footage and the warranty in writing.
The pack
Three tools decide almost every drain job in this metro. The camera says what is wrong, the locator says exactly where, and the jetter is what actually cleans a line instead of poking a hole through it.
[Add equipment makes, jetter pressure rating and camera reel length once the client confirms the current truck build.]
Who shows up
Clog Busters grew out of one Iowa drain truck working this metro. Four more markets later, the thing that carried over is not a logo. It is the rule that nobody quotes a repair they have not seen on camera.
[Add owner name, founding year and a signature photo before client review.]
In their words
Pulled from Google across the Des Moines market. [Replace with live review text and reviewer cities before publishing. Do not print a rating or a review count until it is verified.]
[Placeholder review. Pull the real text from the Des Moines Google profile. Keep this slot about the camera footage, that is what homeowners mention most.]
[Placeholder review. A response time story works well in this slot. Confirm the reviewer city is inside the ring before publishing.]
[Placeholder review. Use one that mentions the written price so the upfront pricing claim is backed by a customer rather than by us.]
Paying for it
Main line replacement is the repair nobody budgets for, and in older parts of the metro it is the one the camera finds. Financing spreads it out so the decision is about the pipe, not the balance.
[Add financing partner, approval terms and the required APR disclosure. Do not publish rate claims without them.]
Subject to credit approval. Terms and provider disclosures to be supplied by the client.
Areas we serve
No overlapping territories and no mystery about who is coming. Pick a city and you land on the page for the crew that actually covers it.
[Confirm the full Des Moines metro city and ZIP list before build. Each area must map to exactly one location record. Add West Des Moines, Altoona, Grimes, Bondurant, Norwalk and Pleasant Hill only once the client confirms coverage.]
The rest of the map
Des Moines is the flagship. Four other crews run the same standard on their own boards, with their own phones and their own service areas. Nothing routes to a call center in another state.
