Penguin - Plumbing Rooter Service
Submitted

If you live in the Phoenix area, you may have heard of rooter service without fully understanding what it is. The term refers to a plumbing service that deals with drain and sewer issues caused by tree root infiltration, such as major clogs and broken pipes.

What is a Plumbing Rooter?

A plumbing rooter is a tool that clears blockages and clogs in drain and sewer pipes. The original tool was a long, flexible cable with a cutting head or auger, but today, there are various forms of rooters, including manual, electric and water jet rooters.

Signs That You Need Rooter Service

You may need rooter service if you experience:

  • Slow or no drainage

  • Multiple drain clogs

  • Gurgling toilets

  • Sinkholes in your yard

These are signs of blockages or clogs in your pipes and drains caused by tree roots.

The Rooter Service Process

The rooter service process typically involves the following steps:

  • Camera inspection 

  • Diagnosis

  • Clearing the blockage

  • Possible pipe repair

A plumber will use a camera to inspect the pipe, diagnose the tree root progression and use the appropriate tools to clear the blockage. Depending on the pipe's age and damage, additional repairs or replacements may be needed.

Preventing Tree Root Intrusion

To avoid future blockages, it's recommended to have your drains cleaned every 18 to 22 months and to be aware of the age and condition of your pipes. Taking preventative measures can help you avoid plumbing emergencies and ensure peace of mind.
