n 1933, Samuel Blanc created a funny-looking sewer cleaning machine from a 1/6 HP Maytag washing machine motor, roller skate wheels and 3/8 inch cable to turn the blades. The device used a combination of special blades or "knives" to cut tree roots out of sewer lines. No digging was required. A year later, Sam's wife Lettie christened the prototype the "Roto-Rooter."
technicianFounded in 1935, Roto-Rooter is the largest provider of plumbing, drain cleaning and water cleanup services in North America. In 1980, the Blanc family sold Roto-Rooter to Chemed Corporation, and Roto-Rooter moved its headquarters to Cincinnati but continued to manufacture the famous Roto-Rooter drain cleaning machines, cables, blades and other parts at its own factory in West Des Moines, Iowa.
Roto-Rooter operates businesses in more than 100 company-owned branch and independent contractor territories and approximately 400 independent franchise operations, serving approximately 90% of the U.S. population and pa
Esteban / Steven was great. He knew what he was doing and brought the equipment he needed to do the job. A big clog needs a big solution. Call these guys. Free estimate at the property. Excellent value considering how much effort was required to get me flowing...
Fast response, polite and competent. My technician made it quick and easy, and did a great job all around. Thank you Roto Rooter!
It was a pleasure meeting Daniel who resolved our issues. He has both pleasant and professional. His knowledge and willingness to assist us with the next steps was greatly appreciated
Prompt to the point business communication. Received a call when our plumber would arrive. Once the work commenced, Dennis was thorough, fast and efficient in completing his tasks. Personable but precise communicator. I’d recommend working with Dennis and Roto router again for a weekend plumbing problem.
My experience started with needing a clogged drain cleared quickly. Britney helped me with getting a service call within 30 minutes. Mike showed up at my door as promised. He was very patient and polite when explaining what he would be doing. Mike worked efficiently and diligently. The drain clearing was a little harder than expected but Mike stuck with it until the drain was cleared. Thanks Mike ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️
