Talking to Your Sewer Line Repair
Person About Rooter Service
Essentially, the rooter is a type of plumber’s snake. It is made up of sharp blades attached
to a heavy-duty cable that can be inserted into sewer lines. They are called ‘rooters’
because they break up invasive tree roots when the blades are turned by an attached
motor. As a revolutionary invention, the rooter made it possible for sewer contractors to
access the underground pipes without digging up the lawn. With the rooter, the sewer
contractors could work on underground pipes wrapped in knots of root systems.
Homeowners and plumbers have a lot to benefit from the rooter. Some of the benefits
include reduced cost and enhanced productivity. More than that, the rooter is a less
invasive method when compared to excavation techniques. Sewer and plumbing
professionals use diagnostic tools coupled with their expertise to execute projects. For
instance, when a pipe becomes clogged, it may be due to tree roots in pipes. These
diagnostic tools determine if a rooter is needed in this case.
