Steady work, strong earning potential, and the opportunity to do more than just clear drains.

American Rooter Plumbing is hiring a Drain Technician to handle residential drain calls, diagnose issues, and help homeowners fully resolve recurring problems. This is a hands-on service role focused on identifying root causes and doing the job right, not just quick fixes.

You'll have consistent call volume, the ability to earn based on your performance, and the opportunity to grow your skills into more advanced plumbing work over time.

• Consistent residential drain and service calls, year-round work

• Strong hourly pay with additional bonus opportunities

• Most technicians earn $70K-$110K+, depending on performance

• Opportunity to expand into repairs, replacements, and repipe work over time

• Family-owned company with a strong local reputation

• Supportive team environment with real career growth

Compensation & Benefits
• $28.00-$32.00 per hour based on experience

• Performance-based bonuses and incentives

• 401(k) with company match

• Medical, dental, and vision insurance

• Life insurance

• Paid time off

• Ongoing training and development opportunities

What You'll Do
Respond to residential drain service calls throughout the Omaha and Council Bluffs metro, clearing lines, diagnosing underlying issues, and identifying root causes of recurring problems. You'll evaluate the overall condition of the plumbing system and provide clear, honest recommendations when additional repairs or upgrades are needed. This role focuses on solving problems the right way while delivering a professional, high-quality customer experience.

You will document your work in Service Titan, communicate with the office team, and manage your calls efficiently throughout the day.

What We're Looking For
Experience in drain cleaning or residential plumbing is required. You should have strong troubleshooting skills and the ability to identify underlying issues beyond the immediate blockage. Candidates should be comfortable communicating with homeowners, explaining findings clearly, and working independently in the field. Organization, follow-through, and professionalism are key to success in this role. Experience with Service Titan or similar software is a plus.

A valid driver's license and clean driving record are required.

Who Succeeds Here

• Technicians who take pride in solving problems, not just clearing lines

• Hands-on workers who enjoy diagnosing issues

• Professionals who communicate clearly with customers

• Individuals who want to grow their skills and earning potential

• Team players who value a stable, supportive work environment
