What rooter service really means

"Rooter" comes from the original Roto-Rooter machines built in the 1930s to cut tree roots out of clay sewer pipe. Today it's a catch-all term for professional drain and sewer cleaning — cabling, rodding, snaking, jetting. We do all of it, with the right tool for the job.

  • Drain cabling for sinks, tubs, toilets
  • Sewer rodding for main lines and laterals

Rooter Service FAQs

What is a rooter service?
A rooter service clears clogged drain and sewer lines using a motorized cable (the 'rooter') with a cutting head. The term originated with the Roto-Rooter machines first used in the 1930s to cut tree roots out of sewer lines. Today, 'rooter service' is shorthand for professional drain and sewer cleaning — cabling, rodding, snaking, and hydro jetting.
Are you a Roto-Rooter franchise?
No. Mr. Drain Inc. is an independent, family-owned drain and sewer company that has been serving Greater Boston since 1993. We use the term 'rooter' because that's what customers search for — but you're calling a local business, not a national franchise.
How much does rooter service cost in Boston?
Single fixture cabling: $150–$275. Branch line: $225–$425. Main sewer line cabling: $325–$650. Hydro jetting: $450–$900. Flat written price before any work begins.
Rooter vs hydro jetting — what's the difference?
Rooter (cable) work punches through the clog and cuts roots — fast and great for emergencies. Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water to scour the entire pipe wall — best for grease, scale, restaurants, and recurring clogs. We diagnose first and pick the right tool.
