Back in 1933, Samuel Blanc designed an innovative sewer cleaning machine from a Maytag washing machine motor, roller skate wheels, and 3/8"" cable to drive the blades. The device featured a set of unique blades, referred to as ""knives,"" to slice through tree roots in sewer pipes. Digging was not required. The following year, Lettie, Sam's wife, dubbed the prototype the ""Roto-Rooter.""
Founded in 1935, Roto-Rooter stands as the largest provider of plumbing, drain cleaning, and water cleanup services across North America. In 1980, the Blanc family transferred ownership of Roto-Rooter to Chemed Corporation, and the company relocated its headquarters to Cincinnati. Despite this change, Roto-Rooter continued to produce its renowned drain cleaning machines, cables, blades, and other components at its factory in West Des Moines, Iowa.

Recommended Customer Reviews
Had a very poor experience with this company. Their operations manager swore at me on the phone, and hung up on me. I'm sure they can probably do a sewer repair but watch out if you have any disagreement about the price, quote, work that was done or a complaint of any time! Yikes!
