What is a Roto Rooter Machine?
The American Midwest is known for its periodic flooding, especially in the Des Moines River Valley. Heavy seasonal rainfall can spell disaster for a city as rainwater flushes debris into sewer systems, clogging public drainage systems and causing billions of dollars in flood damage. Duracable Manufacturing provides the perfect product for plumbers and service technicians to avoid such disasters. The Roto Rooter Machine , first patented in 1933 by Samuel Blanc, clears away debris from sewer pipes without having to expose the pipes themselves – digging up entire sections of a city. Samuel Blanc’s original design helped bring in a new era of plumbing cleaning services. Patented for $250, around $4,500 dollars by today’s standards, Blanc created a means for untrained technicians to earn a wage during the Great Depression. Technicians did not have to be licensed plumbers to use the machine. Throughout the years, the design has been improved upon and manufacturing has been streamlined.
