Rooter Services

Indianapolis Rooter Services

Tree root intrusion is one of the most common and destructive causes of sewer line blockages in the greater Indianapolis area. If you are experiencing recurring drain clogs, slow drains, sewer backups, or unexplained plumbing issues, tree roots may be growing into your underground pipes in search of moisture.

317 Plumber provides professional rooter services for residential and commercial properties, using specialized equipment to remove roots safely and restore proper flow.

Root-related blockages are not surface-level problems. As roots penetrate small cracks or pipe joints, they expand inside the line, trapping debris and restricting water flow. Over time, this can lead to severe backups, pipe damage, and costly repairs if left untreated. Standard drain cleaning methods may temporarily relieve symptoms, but they often do not eliminate the root mass causing the obstruction.

Rooter services are explicitly designed to address this type of problem at its source.

How Our Rooter Services Solve the Problem

Rooter services use mechanical cutting equipment to break apart and remove tree roots from inside sewer and drain lines.

At 317 Plumber, we approach each job methodically:

Inspection and diagnosis – We begin by identifying the source and extent of the blockage. In many cases, we use sewer camera inspection equipment to view the inside of the pipe and pinpoint root intrusion.
Root removal – Once located, we use professional-grade rooter machines or augers to cut and clear the roots from the pipe interior. These tools are designed to remove the obstruction without unnecessary damage to the line.
Pipe cleaning and flow testing – After root removal, we clear remaining debris and verify that proper drainage has been restored.
Repair and prevention recommendations – If roots have compromised the pipe structure, we may recommend targeted repairs, trenchless solutions, or preventative treatments to reduce future intrusion.

This structured process allows us to address both the immediate blockage and the long-term condition of your sewer system.

Signs You May Need Rooter Services

Frequent or recurring drain clogs
Slow-draining sinks, tubs, or floor drains
Sewer backups, especially in lower-level fixtures
Foul odors from drains or yard areas
Unusually lush vegetation above sewer lines

If you notice these warning signs, early intervention can prevent more extensive damage.
