Roto Rooter does more than clear naughty drains
We offer a full range of sewer services, including main sewer line repair, sewer line replacement, no dig pipe restoration, and sewer line cleaning. It is critical to get the proper help to repair or replace the sewer lines as soon as possible to avoid further damage.
Pipe repair and pipe replacement services
Roto Rooter provides pipe repair and replacement services, including:
- Pipe Blockage: Debris or grease build-up or a foreign object is restricting or prohibiting proper flow and/or cleaning of the line.
- Pipe Corrosion: The pipe has deteriorated and/or broken, causing collapses in the line and restricting flow.
- Collapsed pipe: A section of the pipe has sunk due to ground or soil conditions, creating a crevice that collects paper and waste.
- Leaking joints: The seals between pipes have broken, allowing water to escape into the area surrounding the pipe.
- Root in sewer pipeline: Tree or shrub roots have invaded the sewer line and/or have damaged the line, preventing normal functioning of the line.
- Off-grade pipe: Existing pipes are constructed of substandard material that may have deteriorated or corroded.
Pipe restoration – No dig
Pipes get old. We give them a new start.
No one wants to think about the condition of the pipes under their home. But this critical pluming system has a limited lifespan and is prone to leaks, root growth, corrosion and deterioration. Older homes are especially good at hiding roots and corrosion. The clogs and blockages that follow a breach can only be fully resolved if they are repaired or the pipes are replaced. Save yourself the expense of traditional excavation and landscaping repair by opting for our zero dig Pipe Restoration option.
How it works
Roto Rooter’s CIPP Liner is a "no dig" sewer rehabilitation system for repairing damaged drains and sewers without the need to carry out disruptive excavations and the dried resin and lining has been certified to be environmentally friendly by the German Institute for the Environment and Hygiene making it perfect for sensitive areas such as near streams and rivers.
After recognising a particularly persistent backup or clog, call Roto Rooter!
A drainage technician expert will then come and perform a high-resolution video inspection to accurately diagnose the problem and its location. Consistent backups and blockages are often the result of a breach in your plumbing. Rather than committing to an expensive and never-ending routine of drain cleaning and water damage clean-up, we recommend that you fix the problem for good. Roto Rooter’s Pipe Restoration offers no-hassle pipe repair without the mess of excavation.
The Pipe Restoration service begins with a high-speed drain cleaning and/or jetting using our industrial strength drain cleaning system.
This process clears pipes in preparation for relining. Thereafter we conduct a further high resolution video inspection to ensure lines are clear of obstructions. We do not have to remove any old pipes but can instead create a seamless, durable pipe within the confines of the damaged pipe(s). No digging, no mess, just perfectly functioning pipes again.
CIPP is used to rehabilitate existing sewer pipelines by lining the walls of the existing pipe with an epoxy resin tube.
During the renovation process, the liner is soaked in resin and then inserted into the defective pipe using pressurised air or water. This completely lines the inside of the pipe and eliminates any existing or potential damage. Curing creates a completely new, watertight pipe within the old one.
The specially designed lining product can be hot cured and set in place in as little as 2 to 3 hours. Roto Rooter’s No dig pipe relining provides a quick and cost-effective solution to damaged pipes especially in areas where digging up the pipe would cause extensive damage to buildings, fences, roads, infrastructures, driveways, trees and gardens.

Drain Rehabilitation FAQs
-
What are the warning signs that my main sewer line is backing up?
There are a few warning signs that your sewer is blocking up. Pay attention and deal with the problem before the sewer blocks up completely and backs up into the house.
Things to look out for:
- Slow draining sinks and bathtubs. If you have two or more slow drains in the house, the problem is probably in the main sewer.
- A gurgling sound when you flush the toilet
- Water comes up in the floor drain or a bathtub/shower when the toilet is flushed.
- There is a constant need to clear blocked toilets with a plunger.
- Foul sewer smell coming from drains.

What do professional drain technicians use to clear blocked drains?
To clear the sewer line of roots and debris, a professional cleaning is required with a heavy-duty Roto Rooter electro-mechanical drain cleaning unit. These electric drain and sewer cleaning machines have a strong, stiff steel cable with a sharp blade on its tip. The cable spins as it travels through the sewer pipe, so it cuts away obstructions. It will even shave roots right down to the pipe walls to restore full flow in your sewer pipe. If the Roto Rooter machine can’t get through the pipe, your service technician can request a CCTV camera inspection of the sewer pipeline to ascertain where the blockage is and its cause. A trained eye will then be able to recommend repair options to the homeowner.

Do I need a video camera line inspection?
Video camera line inspections can get to the root cause of the problem with efficiency. If you experience repeated sewer or drain line backups, slow drains or frequent toilet blockages, it may be a good idea to have a video inspection performed to determine the underlining problem. The video cameras are built into a stiff cord or snake that is connected to a video monitor. The operator pushes the camera snake through the pipeline, and since the camera head is ringed with bright LED lights, the pipeline is completely illuminated to expose obstructions, cracks and structural damage in the pipe. Video inspections are also recommended to prospective homeowners before buying a new home. After all, the cost of sewer replacement can be many thousands of rands.
