What Exactly is a Rooter?
A rooter can be a couple of things. Technically, a rooter is a generic term for a drain cleaning machine. The name comes from way back when a man invented a tool to clear out clogged drains by slicing up tree roots that grew into pipelines. It was a pretty revolutionary invention, and since then countless rooter companies have sprung up across the United States. As a result, some of these rooter companies are simply known as a rooter for hire. That said, good rooters like Performance Plumbing are also fully certified plumbers who know how to handle any problem in your plumbing system, whether or not it requires going as far as using a rooter device to clear out roots in your pipelines.
Why Would I Need a Rooter?
As we alluded to, many stubborn blockages are caused by tree or shrub roots growing into cracked pipelines – the moisture and waste that runs through the pipeline provide a nutrient-rich environment for roots to thrive in, thereby causing them to grow within the pipe and block water flow. In some other cases, there may be other debris lodged deep within the pipe that needs to be cleared out, which a rooter can also take care of. In short, you need a rooter if you have a really difficult clog that you cannot solve on your own.
