Rooter Services

Rooter Services

When pipes become clogged with invading roots, solidified grease, soap scum or mineral deposits, no homemade drain cleaner is enough. Our Rooter Service uses high-power equipment (rotating cables, cutting blades, special heads and sectional machines) to drill, crush and remove the obstruction without damaging the pipeline.

What does this service consist of?

  1. Inspection and location

HD video cameras and electronic locators to identify the exact location and nature of the blockage.

  1. Mechanical unclogging (rooter)

Flexible rotating cables with different types of blades: root cutters, grease bits, inlay cutters.

  1. Optional hydraulic cleaning

If the line requires it, we apply a high-pressure rinse (mini-hydro jet) to flush the debris into the sewer.

  1. Final verification

We performed a new camera inspection to ensure the pipe was 100% free and had optimal flow.

  1. Prevention

Application of organic root-fighting treatments and recommendations for periodic maintenance.

Why is the service needed?

When problems arise and are ignored they put themselves at risk:

  • Roots piercing the pipe: If this happens, the line will collapse completely, causing subsidence and leaks into the subsoil.
  • Solidified grease: Backup of sewage, bad odors and pollution.
  • Mineral sediments: Reduction of useful diameter and low pressure.
  • Solid objects: Toilet overflow and possible flooding.

A clog-free system extends the life of the sanitary network, prevents costly structural repairs, and protects the health of occupants.

General care process

  1. Call and estimate toll-free: We listen to the symptoms of the problem, schedule your visit and provide you with a clear, free estimate. No surprises, with complete transparency from the start!
  2. Camera Diagnosis: We inspect the interior of 1½″ to 6″ pipes with specialized camera technology to accurately detect the location and cause of the plug.
  3. Mechanical rooter: We use the ideal blade for the type of blockage and clean the entire line. The blockage is effectively destroyed and pushed back to the main collector.
  4. Hydro Jet (if applicable): We apply high-pressure water jets (3,000–4,000 psi) to thoroughly clean the internal walls of pipes and remove adhering residue.

5. Re-inspection and reporting: We create a post-service video to confirm the complete cleaning. We include recommendations, a warranty and a personalized prevention plan.
