Roanoke and Danville, VA Rooter Service

A rooter is a drain cleaning machine that completely clears clogged drains from overgrown tree roots and other debris that are difficult to reach.

Simple but effective ways to prevent clogged drains include; using a strainer in bathroom drains to catch hair, avoid pouring cooking oils and fats down your kitchen sink, and always maintain your drains with a plumbing professional. If your drains need to be cleared in the Roanoke and Danville, VA area, call the experts at Davis Heating, Cooling, Plumbing & Electric today!

Rooter services typically entail snaking the drain as much as possible and using chemicals to clear any remaining debris and tree roots. However, as these chemicals can often be harmful to the Roanoke and Danville, VA environment, many plumbing experts prefer to utilize hydro-jetting methods to clear drains instead. Hydro-jetting forces high pressure water through the pipes to clear any additional debris. From there, your plumber may use a rooter machine to break up any roots in the plumbing pipes and flush them out.

Roots are drawn towards the water, heat, and nutrients flowing through your sewer line pipes. Subsequently, materials like toilet tissue and other debris can get caught in the tree roots and become intertwined in your sewer line. Clay pipes are the most susceptible to root intrusion, followed by concrete pipes, and PVC pipes. If you think you may have tree roots in your sewer line, never fear – call Davis Heating, Cooling, Plumbing & Electric today!
