How it works

Three steps. No surprises.

01

Free quote

Call, WhatsApp, or use the form. We'll come out, look at the problem, and give you a fixed-price quote on the spot. No call-out fee.

02

Same-day visit

Once you say go, we get to work. Most blockages are cleared the same day — the same rate, seven days a week.

03

CCTV-verified

We send a camera through the line and walk you through what you're seeing. You get a record of the work that was done.

Heritage

Forty-eight years of getting it right.

Roto Rooter started in Iowa in 1935. We've been clearing South African drains since 1976. Same trade, same craft, just sharper tools.

  1. 1935
    Roto Rooter is born

    Samuel Oscar Blanc invents the first electric drain-cleaning machine in Iowa, USA — a coiled cable that snakes through pipes, cuts roots, and clears blockages without digging. The brand is born.

  2. 1976
    South African branch established

    Roto Rooter opens in South Africa, bringing world-class drain-cleaning equipment and methodology to a market that hasn't seen anything like it.

  3. 2020
    New management

    A renewed leadership team takes over with a focus on service quality, fixed-price honesty, and same-day response. Investment in fleet, training, and accreditation accelerates.

  4. 2021
    CCTV in every van

    Every Roto Rooter vehicle is fitted with a CCTV inspection unit. From now on, every job is verified on camera — clients can see exactly what was done.

  5. Today
    48 years strong

    Two cities, seven days a week, fixed-price service, IOPSA + PIRB accredited technicians. South Africa's drain experts — and we still answer the phone ourselves.
