Jeremiah Sánchez and Dennis Vigil are outstanding professionals. I learned more from their service call today than I have from all other prior interactions with plumbers. No high pressure sales. Just a willingness to help and meet my needs. Thank you Elite Rooter!

I made my appointment online and I was immediately texted that my appointment was confirmed. Junior called about an hour before my time to let me know he was on the way. He was very professional and did a fantastic job clearing my clogged drain. I will use Elite Rooter for all my plumbing needs moving forward.
Jess Neal
Dennis, Brandon and the gang are all incredible people and plumbers! We had some major issues in a commercial building and Dennis was so kind to explain everything that’s going on in an easy to understand way. He was honest and told us things that other quoters did not. They keep you updated and involved the entire process.
Kaitlin Merrow
Brooks and his team showed up quickly when my sewage line backed up and addressed the issue promptly. This has been a repeat problem and was previously misreported by another company. They were thorough in their explanation and professional throughout.
Tinia Cisneros
Quentin was absolutely awesome!!!! He was extra informative, very thorough with what my plumbing problems were and what he could do to help. Pricing was given upfront so there were no surprises!!! I will use this company in the future… 10/10

Quentin was incredibly responsive, professional, and did a spotless job! He arrived on time, explained everything clearly, and left everything cleaner than he found it. Highly recommend!
Layla Clark
Quentin was SO helpful and SO informative! I had a million questions throughout the process and he answered everything for me and even gave me extra information to move forward with in getting a more permanent solution to my problems. Happy to have a flushing toilet again for the time being and would highly recommend Quentin to anyone who needs a helping hand!

I will use Elite every time. I initially had Roto Rooter out to perform a drain cleaning and when they got to my house, said it would be $419. I said no thank you, I was looking for something closer to $100. The man laughed at me and said okay bye. Elite came to my home in 35 minutes, and the man was so so kind and knowledgeable. He cleaned my drain for $80

— FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Need Help With Tree Roots in Pipes? Check Our FAQs Bellow

Tree roots basically do two things: they keep the tree from falling over, and they serve to collect water and nutrients to feed the tree. The inside of a sewer line sees a lot of water, and a ton of nutrients. If a tree root can find its way inside a sewer line (and it takes a very tiny hole to do so), it will feed, and grow until it completely takes over.

The only way to really remove the roots completely and seal the hole is to remove the affected section of pipe and replace it with “root proof” seals. This can be done via a spot repair, or an entirely new sewer line. If you are unsure which of those two options is the best for your situation, you can check out our article on Sewer Repair/Replacement.

Yes, the proper root killer is one that foams and turns very thick, so that it clings to the roots, but does not leach into your ground soil and kill all your surrounding landscaping (remember, if you have roots, there is a hole in your sewer somewhere). These compounds are very pricey, and after years of them being on the market, the jury is still out as to whether or not they really work. Even if they do work, and manage to kill the roots themselves, they still leave a hole there in your sewer line, and more will get in at some point.
There are some instances where relining your sewer line may be an option. Unfortunately it is not usually the best option. There are several reasons for this, and we will cover that in a future article (sewer pipe lining).
