"Rooter services" typically refer to specialized drain and sewer cleaning techniques that use mechanical rotating blades (often called "rooters" or "snakes") to cut through and remove obstructions like tree roots, grease buildup, and other debris that are blocking your pipes.

Common signs that you might need rooter services include:

• Slow drains in multiple fixtures
• Frequent clogs
• Gurgling noises coming from drains or toilets
• Toilets that don't flush completely
• Foul odors coming from drains
• Water backing up into sinks, tubs, or showers

Yes, tree roots are a very common and destructive problem for sewer lines. They seek out moisture and nutrients, often infiltrating tiny cracks or loose joints in pipes, and then grow, expand, and create significant blockages and damage.

Drain cleaning typically addresses clogs within the smaller pipes of your home (e.g., sink drains, shower drains). Sewer cleaning focuses on the main sewer line that connects your home's plumbing system to the municipal sewer system or septic tank. Blockages in the main sewer line can affect all of your home's drains.

We utilize various effective methods for sewer and drain cleaning, including:

• Snaking/Augering: Mechanical removal of clogs.
• Hydro Jetting: High-pressure water streams to thoroughly clean the inside of pipes, removing grease, scale, roots, and other debris.
• Video Camera Inspection: To pinpoint the exact location and nature of the blockage without invasive digging.

The frequency depends on several factors, including the age of your plumbing system, the presence of trees on your property, and your household's usage habits. As a general guideline, annual or bi-annual professional cleaning can help prevent major issues. If you experience recurring clogs, more frequent cleaning may be necessary.

Pipe descaling is a specialized cleaning process that removes mineral buildup (scale), rust, corrosion, and other accumulated debris from the interior walls of pipes, especially older cast iron or galvanized pipes. This buildup can significantly reduce water flow and contribute to clogs.

Descaling is important because:

• It restores the original diameter of the pipe, improving water flow and pressure.
• It helps prevent recurring clogs caused by rough pipe surfaces.
• It can extend the lifespan of your plumbing system by reducing internal corrosion.
• It can eliminate foul odors originating from buildup in the pipes.

We typically perform pipe descaling using specialized equipment, often involving rotary tools with abrasive heads that are inserted into the pipe to scour away the buildup without damaging the pipe itself. This process is often followed by hydro jetting to flush out the loosened debris.
