The US sewer and drain cleaning services market was valued at US$ 1.50 billion in 2023 and is projected to reach US$ 2.49 billion by 2031; the market is expected to register a CAGR of 6.5% during 2023–2031.
Increasing Threat from Fatberg Formation is Bolstering the US Sewer and Drain Cleaning Services Market Growth
Fatbergs contain clumps of fats, oils, and grease. Fatbergs can also consist of disposable wipes, paper towels, tampons, facial tissues, sanitary towels, and other wastes flushed into the sanitary sewer system. Growing collection of fatbergs can result in calcification, transforming the blockage. In 2020, the City of Des Moines, Iowa, stated an increase in fatberg formations of at least ~50% since the COVID-19 pandemic began. The increase in the flushing of sanitary wipes along with the growing household oil disposal down the drains from kitchens are increasing the threat of fatberg formation and drainage blockages. The Reclamation Authority spent over US$ 100,000 in 2020 to manage more than 30 blockages.
Fatberg formation is one of the major operational challenges for clogging water utilities. The rising urbanization is exacerbating the drain-clogging challenges posed by fatberg formation. Sewer and drain cleaning services play a crucial role in managing the fatbergs present in the sewer and drainage infrastructure. Thus, the growing threat to sewer and drainage infrastructure from increasing formations of fatbergs bolsters the demand for sewer and drain cleaning services in the US, which in turn drive the US sewer and drain cleaning services market growth.
Constant technological developments can propel the development of advanced devices that assist in numerous sewers and drain cleaning, maintenance, and inspection services. Technology-driven drain cleaning equipment and products such as push locating equipment, rod cameras, high-end inspection cameras, advanced patch removing equipment, and other sewer and drain inspection tools simplify drain cleaning activities compared to conventional procedures. Moreover, the integration of high-end technologies such as software for determining wastewater flow conditions and the parameters required to locate the exact location of patch or damage is growing. Additionally, various market players are developing innovative and improved drain-cleaning equipment, which offers them a sustainable competitive advantage. In April 2023, Ridgid launched the SeeSnake Mini Pro Inspection Camera with TruSense Technology, the first reel of its kind to offer digital self-levelling without any moving parts. It is the newest reel in the RIDGID collection of inspection and drain cleaning products. The Mini Pro inspects up to 200 feet of 1.5–8-inch pipe with its mid-flex push cable, which can handle steep 90-degree bends. Its revolutionary 25 mm digital self-levelling camera ensures that the in-pipe image remains upright and is shorter than the typical 25 mm camera head. Such technological advancement is anticipated to emerge as trends in the US sewer and drain cleaning services market during the forecast period.
Modern Plumbing Industries, Inc.; Drains By James Inc; Mr. Rooter; Mr. Drain Inc; Bob Oates; ZOOM DRAIN; Top Notch Sewer & Drain Cleaning, Inc.; Roto-Rooter Group Inc; Haller Enterprises; Neptune Plumbing; Augusta Industrial Services; and Frank’s Repair Plumbing, Inc. are the key US sewer and drain cleaning services market players profiled during the market study. In addition to these players, several other important companies were studied and analyzed during this market research study to get a holistic overview of the US sewer and drain cleaning services market.
