Samuel Blanc invented the Roto-Rooter drain cleaning machine in 1933, and started the Roto-Rooter Company in 1935. His invention essentially founded an entirely new kind of sewer cleaning industry.

Modern day electric-powered drain cleaning machines haven't changed all that much since then. They still rely on rotating cutting blades to bore through a clog, and they are highly effective for opening clogged drains and clearing lines of roots and other debris.

Today Roto-Rooter is the largest plumbing repair and drain cleaning company in North America. When drains get clogged, Roto-Rooter provides fast, dependable, reliable service to get your drains flowing freely so you can get back to business.
