Clogged drain? You may think any plumber can handle it. But depending on what’s going on beneath the surface, a simple drain cleaning might not be enough — you may need a rooter professional.

So what’s the difference between drain cleaning and rooter service? Let’s break it down.

Drain Cleaning: Surface-Level Solutions

Drain cleaning typically refers to:

• Removing clogs in sinks, tubs, or toilets
• Clearing blockages from grease, food, or hair
• Using tools like plungers or snaking devices

This works for everyday clogs near the surface — but for deeper or repeated issues, you’ll need something more.

Rooter Services: Deeper, More Aggressive Solutions

Rooter professionals, like the ones at Rooter Pros, go further. We use:

• Video camera inspections to locate deep sewer blockages
• Hydro-jetting to blast away tree roots, sludge, and debris
• Root-cutting tools for stubborn underground blockages

This level of service is especially helpful for older homes in Baton Rouge with aging pipes or root intrusion.
