Rooter Service in Westminster
The first step involved in rooter services is usually a camera inspection. We feed small cameras on flexible rods or cables into the drains and sewer lines to give real-time images of the inside of the pipes. Cameras reveal the type of clog or damage and its precise location so we do not have to dig into your landscape or foundation to find the problem.
Grease, hair, and non-flushable items can clog sewer lines. Over time, these items can build up, blocking the flow of wastewater and eventually leading to sewage backflow into homes.
When the main sewer line becomes clogged, the wastewater in your pipes has nowhere to go. Eventually, the wastewater will force itself into a secondary drain, leading to sewer smells first. As the wastewater builds up, it will back into floor drains, commonly located in basements, bathrooms, kitchens, and laundry rooms.
You may also notice water backing into the shower when you flush the toilet. If not rectified quickly, a clogged sewer line can lead to expensive damages. It is vital to rely on professionals with the knowledge and equipment to find the source of the sewer clog and offer repairs.

We use plumbing snakes for minor clogs. Snaking involves using a flexible coiled wire attached to an auger. While feeding the snake into the drain, the plumber turns the auger. The corkscrew-like coil at the end can grab onto clogs and push through them, effectively clearing the plumbing line.
We use special water jet equipment for more severe clogs, especially those involving tree limbs. Hydro-jetting uses high-powered water to scour the inside of clogged plumbing lines.
The high-powered water pushes clogs through the line and can break up tree roots. This treatment also removes residue on the walls of the plumbing lines to help prevent subsequent blockages.
Ideally, you should schedule rooter services before clogs develop. Annual sewer line cleaning services help prevent clogs from forming and keep your plumbing lines flowing smoothly.
