Essentially, the rooter is a type of plumber’s snake. It is made up of sharp blades attached to a heavy-duty cable that can be inserted into sewer lines. They are called ‘rooters’ because they break up invasive tree roots when the blades are turned by an attached motor. As a revolutionary invention, the rooter made it possible for sewer contractors to access the underground pipes without digging up the lawn. With the rooter, the sewer contractors could work on underground pipes wrapped in knots of root systems.

Homeowners and plumbers have a lot to benefit from the rooter. Some of the benefits include reduced cost and enhanced productivity. More than that, the rooter is a less invasive method when compared to excavation techniques. Sewer and plumbing professionals use diagnostic tools coupled with their expertise to execute projects. For instance, when a pipe becomes clogged, it may be due to tree roots in pipes. These diagnostic tools determine if a rooter is needed in this case.

However, it is easy to think that getting rid of the roots will provide lasting solutions to the plumbing problems. The presence of roots shows that there may be certain damages (such as holes) in the piping structure. But the rooter is the initial step in getting the pipes to work again.
