Rooter Service
Rooter Service
The word “rooter” became a popular nickname for the sewer machine and over time it took hold and led to drain cleaning being called a rooter service. Now you know.
If any of your drains are clogged or backed up, McAdams Plumbing can help. We specialize in main line, minor lines, and floor drains.
With over 40 years of experience in the plumbing industry, our plumbing professionals are proud to offer unsurpassed service and up-to-date rooter technology.
Our plumbers are licensed and qualified to perform any rooter service on your drains.
If you look around your house, there are a variety of different drains that need to be kept clean so that they work properly. We offer the best experience and the right tools to handle any kind of rooter service, including:
Main Sewer Lines
All your household drains lead into your main sewer line, which connects to the city sewer or a septic tank.
The most common source of clogs in this line is tree roots seeking water. They can actually break through the line and clog the drain. General build up of oil, soap, and debris will also cause back ups over time.
RootX does a great job in keeping tree roots out of your sewer line with only a couple applications. Call today to get set up for a RootX treatment.
We mean that we will run our cable through the line as many times as needed to ensure you’re as clean as possible. We’re not just going to punch a whole and move on.
This way we know the job was done right and can offer you a proper warranty.
Kitchen Drains
Grease, soap, and food waste can take their toll, making your drains clog and run more slowly over time.
When this happens one way to open the drain line is to rooter it. Drain cleaning liquids are unable to remove all of the build-up and debris. To ensure your kitchen drain is fully clean we use a rooter snake.
We also recommend the use of BioClean to prevent future build up and keep your lines clean. As a BioClean distributor McAdams Plumbing can set you up on a regular treatment plan to keep your drains fresh.
Shower/Tub Drains
Water should drain immediately when you’re showering and in just a few minutes after a bath.
If it’s draining slowly, your tub or shower trap and drainpipe is probably clogged with soap and hair. Rootering can remedy the situation.
We also recommend the use of BioClean to prevent future build up and keep your lines clean.
Bathroom Sink Drains
Slow draining and clogging are often a result of toothpaste, soap, hair, and grime.
These clogs can be some of the most difficult to get cleared. Often you need to hire a professional rooter company to clear the drain.
Over-the-counter drain cleaning liquids don’t have the power to cut through years of built up grime. You need a rooter snake with blades to be able to cut through this type of residue.
Toilet Drains
A clogged toilet is often caused by attempting to flush facial tissue, baby wipes, or other products that don’t disintegrate the way toilet paper does. And if you have kids, you may have a toy or sock in the works.
Fortunately, there’s a special plumbing tool that can cut through any obstruction while hugging the inside wall of the pipe, giving your toilet drain a thorough cleaning at the same time.
These are the types of tools professionals stock and use. This isn’t the stuff you get at box stores. We use the right tool for the right job.
Floor Drains
Basements, laundry rooms, garages, patios, driveways and even older bathrooms often have a drain to carry away water and prevent flooding.
Usually they are equipped with a trap that should be filled with water to prevent odors and sewer gas from escaping. If these become clogged, we can clear the line.
We also specialize in:
