Certain piping materials can be pierced and invaded with tree roots, while others get in through tiny openings in older joints. You’ve seen what roots can do to cement, so it’s not hard to imagine the possible effects on your pipes. Once the roots start to grow inside your pipe, they begin to slow down your drain. Paired with incoming debris this will often cause a complete blockage. The name “Roto-Rooter” comes from the original machine invented to solve this problem. Our Milwaukee drain cleaning professionals will discover the source and location of your clogged pipes.
