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

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 plumbing specialist. If your drains need to be cleared in the Oahu, HI area, call the experts at Emergency Plumbing & Solar 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 environment, many plumbing experts utilize hydro-jetting methods to clear drains. Hydro-jetting forces water through the pipes using varying amounts of pressure to clear any additional debris in the pipes. Next, your plumber will use a rooter machine to break up the roots in the plumbing and flush them out. Call (808) 824-4306 if your home is in need of rooter services in Oahu, HI.

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 mass of tree roots and eventually 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 lines, never fear – call Emergency Plumbing & Solar today!
