ROOTER SERVICES

ROOTER SERVICES

Rooting services, in the context of plumbing, typically refer to drain cleaning services that involve removing root intrusions from sewer lines and drains. Tree roots can sometimes infiltrate sewer pipes, causing blockages and potential damage to the plumbing system.

Mechanical Snaking
Plumbers often use mechanical drain snakes or augers equipped with cutting blades to physically break up and remove the root masses. The rotating blades can effectively cut through the roots and clear the blockage.

Pipe Repair or Replacement
In cases where the root intrusion has caused significant damage to the pipes, plumbers might need to repair or replace sections of the sewer line. This could involve excavation to access the damaged pipe and perform the necessary repairs.

Preventive Measures
After the rooting service is completed, plumbers might recommend preventive measures to minimize the likelihood of future root intrusions. This could include installing root barriers, regularly treating the pipes with root-killing chemicals, or recommending changes to landscaping to prevent trees and shrubs from growing too close to the plumbing lines.
