Our journey began in 2005 as Mojo Rooter, established by Jody Riggs, but we temporarily closed due to cancer. Afterward, Alex Riggs gained a decade of experience at Roto Rooter and other plumbing firms before reopening in 2018. Now known as NW Sewer & Drain, we are open 24/7 and offer same-day service. And yes, Jody is still around and in good health today!

I began drain cleaning in 2005 when my father started the company, and I worked as his helper. Two years later, he faced a rare lung cancer diagnosis, which caused us to close for a while. He is still here and doing well today, but my passion for plumbing systems continued. I joined Roto Rooter, where I worked for eight years, and later gained experience at other plumbing companies, learning about plumbing systems and drainage.

Seventeen years later, I can say I’ve dedicated half my life to this field and can’t imagine doing anything else. All that practical experience in plumbing, drainage, excavation, and beyond has led me to create my own business at NW Sewer & Drain. If you’re dealing with clogged drains and seek a fair price and professional service, don’t hesitate to contact us.
