What is rooter service, and how does it work?
Rooter service is a specialized drain cleaning process that involves using rotating blades or other mechanical tools to clear tough clogs deep within your plumbing system. It’s particularly effective for removing tree roots and other hard-to-reach obstructions.
How do I know if I need rooter services?
Signs you may need rooter services include slow drains, gurgling sounds from your pipes, water backups, or multiple drains clogging at the same time. If standard drain cleaning methods don’t work, rooter service is likely the solution.
Can tree roots really grow into my pipes?
Yes, tree roots naturally seek out moisture and can enter your pipes through small cracks or joints. Over time, they can cause significant blockages that require professional rooter service to remove.
Is rooter service safe for my pipes?
Yes, rooter service is safe for most plumbing systems. Our experienced technicians ensure that the correct tools and techniques are used to avoid damage while effectively clearing blockages.
How often should I schedule rooter drain services?
We recommend scheduling rooter services as soon as you notice recurring clogs or slow drainage. For homes with older pipes or those prone to tree root intrusion, regular maintenance every 1-2 years can help prevent major issues.
What’s the difference between rooter service and hydro-jetting?
Rooter service uses mechanical tools to cut through tree roots and debris, while hydro-jetting uses high-pressure water to clean the inside of your pipes. Both are effective, but rooter service is typically used for severe blockages involving roots or hard debris.
