Drain cleaning clears blockages from sink, tub, and mainline drains using augers (snakes) or hydro jetting. On the wet side, the usual culprits are grease, hair, wipes, and — in older neighborhoods — tree roots finding their way into aging lines.

Same family of work. 'Rooter' historically means cutting tree roots out of drain lines with a bladed auger; drain cleaning covers all blockage removal, including hydro jetting. Companies with 'rooter' in the name do both.
Skip it. Chemical openers rarely clear real clogs, damage older pipes with repeated use, and make the drain hazardous for whoever works on it next. A $20 hand auger is more effective and safer.
