What Is Rooter Service?
When you’re dealing with a severe blockage in your drainage, a standard drain snake or plunger probably won’t cut it. The clog is most likely buried deep in your main line. Rooter service is our heavy-duty drain clearing method that will cut through dense blockage like grease buildup and invasive tree roots that are choking your drainage line.
Standard drain cleaning will focus on smaller branch lines like your bathroom sink trap or hair in a shower drain while rooter service in Garland, TX uses commercial grade cables and special cutting blades to open up the pipes connecting to your sewer system.
Why Tree Roots Invade Garland Main Lines
Tree root intrusion is one of the most common causes for main line backups, especially in North Texas. Garland’s older neighborhoods have massive oak trees and cedar elms that have expansive root systems and are always looking for more moisture under the ground. Your pipes are a prime target in Garland, TX because:
- Older pipes sweat moisture and release vapor into the dirt around them
- Root navigation causes tree roots to follow moisture directly to your pipes
- Mass growth of roots so once one gets in and feeds, it expands into many
- Blockage from the root mass acts like a net catching toilet paper and waste
Once you have a small vulnerability in your pipe or a tree root has already made its way in, it’s only a matter of time before you’re dealing with severe blockage. Contact Bacon Plumbing, Heating, Air, & Electric and we’ll send someone out to fix it right away.
Signs Your Home Needs Rooter Service
In many cases, you will know you need rooter service in Garland, TX right away. But there are some early warning signs you can check for ahead of time before you’re dealing with a total blockage. Here are some of the signs to keep an eye on:
- Wastewater gurgles up into your bathtub or drains when you flush a toilet
- Running your washing machine causes toilets to bubble
- Foul sewer smells from wastewater trapped in your pipes
- Slow drains throughout the house even after multiple home remedies
Slow drains will only get worse until there is no drainage whatsoever. They’re also a health hazard with wastewater coming back up into your sinks and bathtub. Don’t compromise your safety and give us a call or schedule service online.

Rooter Clearing vs. Sewer Line Repair: What’s the Difference?
In some cases, we may find that roots have completely collapsed your pipe beyond rooter cleaning service in Garland, TX. We’ll always show you the footage and go over options for sewer line replacement services. Our goal for rooter service is to open the pipe and restore flow but if that can’t be done without full sewer line repair, we will have an up front conversation with you after our inspection. Sewer line repair and replacement is ideal when the camera shows that your pipes have reached a point of structural failure.
Rooter Service FAQs
Will tree roots grow back after a rooter clearing?
Yes. Rooter machines cut away the roots inside the pipe but they will not seal the entry crack. We recommend treating the line with root inhibitors or periodic hydro jetting unless a pipe repair is deemed necessary.
How often should I have my main line cleared?
If you have mature trees near an old sewer line we recommend scheduling routine rooter clearing or hydro jetting every year or so to keep roots from growing and causing an emergency backup.
Can a rooter machine damage my pipes?
Our fully trained and licensed plumbers will check the pipe condition first and make sure the rooter cables are safe before selecting the appropriate blade size and cable tension.
Do I need an outdoor cleanout for rooter service?
A ground-level cleanout will make rooter service faster and more effective since we can access the line from your yard instead of hauling machinery into your home or removing a toilet. We can also install an accessible outdoor cleanout for future maintenance if you are interested.
