Roto-Rooter

In 1933, Samuel Blanc created a funny-looking sewer cleaning machine from a 1/6 HP Maytag washing machine motor, roller skate wheels, and 3/8 inch cable to turn the blades. The device used a combination of special blades or "knives" to cut tree roots out of sewer lines. No digging was required. A year later, Sam's wife Lettie christened the prototype of the Roto-Rooter. Founded in 1935, Roto-Rooter is the largest provider of plumbing, drain cleaning and water cleanup services in North America. In 1980, the Blanc family sold Roto-Rooter to Chemed Corporation, and Roto-Rooter moved its headquarters to Cincinnati but continued to manufacture the famous Roto-Rooter drain cleaning machines, cables, blades and other parts at its own factory in West Des Moines, Iowa.

I hired their team of plumbers to save me from the mess of drainage pipe burst. Thanks to them that they arrived on time and really did a great job.

I stumbled on their plumbing service while surfing the internet. I feel lucky that found these guys. The way they managed to repair my year's old plumbing system, I would give them five stars for that.
