quickly clear clogs in pipes

A rooter is used to clear clogs in pipes, typically caused by tree roots or other obstructions. The cable-and-blade kind of rooter involves a flexible metal cable with a cutting blade attached at the end. When inserted into the pipe, the rooter drills a hole through the blockage, allowing water to flow again. However, it’s important to note that this method only punctures a hole in the obstruction and doesn’t fully remove roots or clean the inside of the pipe. Homeowners might choose this method as a quick, temporary solution to restore flow, but for long-term effectiveness, more comprehensive cleaning or repair may be needed.
