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?
- Inspection and location
HD video cameras and electronic locators to identify the exact location and nature of the blockage.
- Mechanical unclogging (rooter)
Flexible rotating cables with different types of blades: root cutters, grease bits, inlay cutters.
- Optional hydraulic cleaning
If the line requires it, we apply a high-pressure rinse (mini-hydro jet) to flush the debris into the sewer.
- Final verification
We performed a new camera inspection to ensure the pipe was 100% free and had optimal flow.
- 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
- 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!
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
