What Are Rooter Services?
Rooter services are used to clear stubborn clogs from your drains or sewer lines; the term originated concerning tree root-related issues, but it now covers a wider range of problems. These services involve using mechanical tools to break up blockages and restore normal flow. Whether the problem is tree roots, grease buildup, or debris, rooter service targets the issue directly and clears it at the source, restoring functionality.
When To Call For Professional Rooter Services
If you’re dealing with any of the issues below, it’s time to call a licensed plumber for professional rooter service:
- Tubs or sinks draining slowly: Water that drains slowly may mean a partial blockage in your plumbing line.
- Frequently backed-up toilets: Multiple backups often indicate a larger issue in your sewer system.
- Weird smells from drains: Bad odors are a common sign of trapped waste or buildup inside your pipes.
- Odd noises: Strange sounds from your drains usually mean air is getting trapped behind a clog.
- Several clogged drains: When more than one drain slows down or backs up, the problem is likely in your main sewer line.
Rooter Services You Can Trust
We understand that many homeowners don’t know what to expect from a rooter service, so we make the process clear, simple, and respectful of your time:
- System inspection: We begin with a system check to understand the issue and any symptoms you’ve noticed.
- Camera check: If needed, we’ll perform a camera inspection to locate the blockage and assess the condition of the pipe.
- Rooter tech: Next, we use a professional rooter machine to break up and remove the clog quickly and safely.
- Hydro jetting: If applicable (i.e., buildup is extensive), we may recommend hydro jetting to flush the entire line.
- Final testing: Once clear, we test your drains to confirm everything is flowing properly.
- Parting tips and tricks: Before we leave, we offer tips to help prevent future issues and ensure you’re comfortable with your newly cleaned system.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use chemical drain cleaners instead of calling for rooter service?
We don’t recommend it. Chemical cleaners can damage your pipes and don’t remove deep or stubborn clogs the way professional equipment can.
Do rooter services fix sewer line problems, or just clear clogs?
Rooter services are designed to clear clogs. If the sewer line is damaged or collapsed, it’ll need a different solution.
