Samuel Blanc created a distinctive sewer cleaning apparatus in 1933, utilizing a 1/6 HP Maytag motor, roller skate wheels, and 3/8"" cable to power the cutting blades. It utilized a combination of specialized cutting tools, called ""knives,"" to remove tree roots from sewer lines. Digging was not required. In the next year, Lettie, Sam's spouse, officially named the prototype the ""Roto-Rooter.""
Established in 1935, Roto-Rooter is recognized as the leading provider of plumbing, drain cleaning, and water restoration services in North America. The Blanc family sold Roto-Rooter to Chemed Corporation in 1980, and the headquarters was shifted to Cincinnati. Even after the move, Roto-Rooter kept manufacturing its well-known drain cleaning machines, cables, blades, and additional parts at its West Des Moines, Iowa factory.

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!
