818 Rooter and Plumbing Services Offers Top Quality Services throughout the San Fernando Valley and Surrounding Areas!

A rooter is a powerful drain cleaning machine designed to clear tough clogs caused by tree roots and hard-to-reach debris. It can be a traditional cable machine or a modern hydro jetting system. We’ll help you choose the best option for your situation to get your drains flowing smoothly again.

Simple but effective ways to prevent clogged drains include using a strainer in bathroom drains to catch hair, avoid putting cooking oils and fats down your kitchen sink, and always have your drains properly maintained by a professional plumber!

Rooter services typically involve snaking the drain to remove blockages and using chemicals to break down any remaining debris, including dead roots. However, since these chemicals can be harmful to the environment, many experts at 818 Rooter and Plumbing Services prefer hydro-jetting. This method uses high-pressure water to thoroughly clear out debris without the need for harsh chemicals. After hydro-jetting, we use a rooter machine to break up any remaining roots and flush them out, leaving your pipes clean and clear

Tree roots are naturally attracted to the water, warmth, and nutrients inside your sewer line. Over time, things like toilet paper and other debris can get trapped in the growing mass of roots, leading to blockages that cause backups in your home. Clay pipes and Orangeburg pipes are especially vulnerable to root intrusion and can fail more easily.

If your sewer line is blocked it is most likely due to an infiltration of tree roots and other debris in your pipes. The most appropriate way to handle a blocked sewer line is to call a certified plumber from 818 Rooter and Plumbing Services

Depending on how blocked your sewer line pipes are, our plumbers may have to repair or even replace your sewer line. Fortunately, sewer line replacement is a relatively quick process when you know the best methods to solve the issue.

The cost of cleaning your sewer and water main lines can vary widely based on how much natural debris has infiltrated your pipes. To get an accurate quote for the cleaning services you need, give us a call! We’ll send a certified plumber to provide you with an estimate.
