The Grand River splits this town in half and the sewer lines under it are older than most of the houses on top. We camera every main line before anything else goes down it, on both sides of the water.

The outpost
Clog Busters started with one drain truck in Iowa. Grand Rapids is the only market that sits outside that state, which means it is the one that has to prove the standard actually travels. It does. Nothing about a west Michigan call is a lighter version of the company.
The Michigan van is stocked off the same list as every other one. Cable machines, jetter, cutter heads, fittings. Most jobs finish on the first visit because the part is already on the truck, not on order.
Nobody here quotes a repair they have not seen on a monitor. The camera goes down the line, you watch the footage with the technician, and the diagnosis is a picture rather than a hunch.
The number you approve in Kent County comes off the same sheet a homeowner sees in Iowa. Written down, agreed before the work starts, and nothing appears on the invoice you did not see first.
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.
What we do
The full service set runs in Grand Rapids. Septic is the one exception and it belongs to the Kaiser, Missouri market, so we say so rather than send a truck that cannot help.
Kitchen, bath, laundry and main lines cleared with the right cutter head, chosen off the camera footage rather than a guess.

Learn moreWhat goes wrong here
A drain call in Kent County is not the same call as a drain call in Iowa. The trees are older, the freeze cycles are harder, and the housing runs from century old near downtown to subdivisions still under warranty.
The older neighborhoods grew up under big canopy trees, and those roots find every joint in a clay or cast lateral. Cutting them clears the line today. The camera tells you whether that is all it needs, or whether the joint has already opened up.
Reading: root intrusion at jointGround that freezes, thaws and freezes again moves pipe. Joints pull apart, bellies form and water starts sitting where it used to run. A line that behaved all autumn can back up the first serious thaw of the year.
Reading: belly holding waterHistoric homes near downtown and newer suburban builds out across the county fail differently. Old laterals crack and offset. Young ones get wrecked by construction debris, grease and wipes. Same camera, very different conversation.
Reading: obstruction, non structuralGeneral conditions only. Nothing on this page states a measured rate or a statistic. [Confirm any local claims with the Grand Rapids crew before publishing.]
How a call goes
Same sequence on every call in every market. Look first, price it in writing, then work.
You describe what you are seeing. We tell you honestly whether it can wait until morning or whether it should not.
Stage: intakeCamera down the main before anything else, so the diagnosis is footage you can watch rather than a story you have to take on faith.
Stage: inspectionA written number for the actual repair, off the same price book every market uses, approved by you before work starts.
Stage: written estimateThe line runs, the floor gets wiped, and you keep the footage and the warranty terms in writing.
Stage: sign off
Who shows up
Grand Rapids gets people who know which streets still have clay in the ground and which subdivisions went in last year. What they do not get is discretion over the standard. Camera first, price in writing, no exceptions because it is a long way from head office.
[Add the Grand Rapids lead technician name, start date and a crew photo before client review.]
In their words
Pulled from Google across all five markets. [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 Grand Rapids Google profile. A root intrusion story on an older lateral works best in this slot.]
[Placeholder review. Pull from the Grand Rapids profile. A response time story on a night or weekend call is the strongest second card.]
[Placeholder review. Pull one from the Des Moines profile so the reader can see the standard reads the same in both states.]
Where we run in Michigan
Grand Rapids, Wyoming, Kentwood, Grandville, Walker, Rockford, Ada, Cascade, Byron Center and the rest of west Michigan. Every city belongs to exactly one crew, so there is no mystery about who is coming or which number to call.
[Confirm the full Michigan city and ZIP list before build. Each area must map to exactly one location record.]
The rest of the map
Grand Rapids is one of five. Every market keeps its own phone, its own crew and its own service area, and nothing routes to a call center in another state.
Septic service is offered from the Kaiser, Missouri market only. [Grand Rapids, Oskaloosa and North Liberty numbers pending. Do not publish a number that has not been confirmed.]
Paying for it
Main line replacement is the repair nobody budgets for, and in older west Michigan neighborhoods it is the one that turns up without warning. 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.
