Roots in the line? We cut through them.
Mechanical rooter/cabling service clears root intrusion and stubborn blockages quickly, often the fastest way to get a backed-up line flowing again.
What you’re probably dealing with
Tree roots find their way into sewer lines through the smallest crack or joint gap, and once inside, they grow into a dense mass that blocks flow and gets worse every season. A backed-up line on a Friday night doesn't leave much time for anything but a fast, mechanical fix.
How we fix it
A motorized cable with a rotating cutting head is fed through the line to cut through roots and break up blockages, restoring flow quickly. For lines with recurring root problems, we'll recommend a camera inspection and, where appropriate, trenchless lining to stop roots from coming back.

The work speaks. So do our customers.
“We had an outstanding experience with this pipeline and drain services team, and I highly recommend them. From the moment they arrived, Jason, Desmond, Ishmael, and Enrique were incredibly professional, fast, and communicative. They walked us through every step so we always knew what was happening. Their pricing was competitive, and the quality of their work was great. What impressed us most was how thoroughly they cleaned up afterward, you truly couldn't even tell they had been here.”
“Couldn't recommend Gary's enough! We just moved into our first house two months ago and had our main sewer line clog, it ended up being an emergency situation. They were able to get out to us the next day, and finish the project within 6 hours. The supervisor, Jason, was so kind, knowledgable, and walked us through the entire process. His crew, Desmond and Ishmael, were so diligent and kept us updated throughout. Just great people!”
“Had an awesome experience with Gary's Pipelining and can't recommend them enough! We needed sewer line replacement, and from start to finish, the whole team was fantastic. Jason came out first to scope the work and go over pricing, straightforward and very competitive. The digging crew went above and beyond, handling the work with great care and finding creative solutions for unexpected issues. Great people, great work, and no surprises.”
“Very happy with the job these guys got done around our house. It was a big one, over 120 feet of french drains at the foot of a retaining wall. Jason was transparent, real, and fair about the work that needed to be done, and the crew acted fast and found solutions. After completion, Jason reminded me the job is under warranty, simply great peace of mind. Overall, super happy with the job quality and would 100% recommend these guys.”
“A representative came out, assessed our drainage situation, and made recommendations on how to fix it. They sent a crew of 4 guys who finished the entire job in less than 5 hours, rerouting water from our gutter and resetting the pavers they'd lifted along the way. All workers were very courteous and respectful of our property, and the man in charge came out to inspect the work. We highly recommend this company.”
Often, yes, unless the entry point is sealed. That's why we recommend a camera inspection after a root-related backup, so you know whether lining the line makes sense to stop it permanently.
It's the same idea at a larger, motorized scale, a rooter machine has more torque and a wider range of cutting heads than a handheld drain snake.
