FAQs About Rooters

What is a rooter?

Metro Rooter in Jacksonville and Gainesville specializes in rooter services, which involve using specialized equipment to clear clogs and blockages from drains and sewer lines. A rooter typically consists of a flexible cable with a cutting or augering device attached, which is inserted into the pipe to break up obstructions and restore proper flow.

How does a rooter work?

A rooter works by inserting a flexible cable with a cutting or augering device into the drain or sewer line. The cable is then fed into the pipe, where it rotates and breaks up clogs, tree roots, and other obstructions. This process allows water to flow freely through the pipe, restoring proper drainage.

When should I use rooter services?

Rooter services are typically needed when you experience slow drains, recurring clogs, or sewage backups in your home or business. If traditional methods like plunging or chemical drain cleaners are ineffective, it may be time to call in professional rooter services to address the issue effectively.
