At Rooter Brothers Plumbing, we don’t just bring experience to the job—we bring the tools that get it done right. Plumbing issues can vary from a simple clogged toilet to a complex sewer line repair, and having the right tools ensures we deliver efficient, high-quality service every time. In this blog, we’ll take you behind the scenes to explore some of the key tools in a professional plumber’s toolkit and how they help solve your plumbing problems.

1. Pipe Wrenches: The Workhorses of Plumbing

Pipe wrenches are the cornerstone of any plumber’s toolkit. These adjustable tools allow us to grip and turn pipes securely, making it easier to install or remove plumbing fixtures without causing damage. Whether it’s tightening a waterline or replacing a pipe, our wrenches ensure a precise and secure fit.

  • Common Uses: Waterline repairs, faucet installations, and pipe fittings.

2. Augers and Drain Snakes: For Stubborn Clogs

When plungers aren’t enough, augers and drain snakes are our go-to tools for clearing blockages. These devices can reach deep into drains and sewer lines to break apart tough clogs, such as grease, hair, or debris.

  • Common Uses: Clearing clogged toilets, sinks, and sewer lines.

3. Inspection Cameras: Eyes Where You Can’t See

Plumbing problems aren’t always visible to the naked eye, which is why inspection cameras are invaluable. These small, flexible devices allow us to look inside pipes, drains, and sewer lines to pinpoint blockages or damage. By diagnosing the issue accurately, we can save time and avoid unnecessary digging or repairs.

  • Common Uses: Identifying blockages, collapsed pipes, or root intrusion.

4. Gas Leak Detectors: Safety First

Gas leaks are a serious hazard, and our advanced gas leak detectors allow us to locate even the smallest leaks with precision. These tools help us protect your family and property by identifying issues quickly and accurately.

  • Common Uses: Detecting leaks in gas lines and connections.

5. Propress Tools: Faster, Stronger Connections

Propress tools are game-changers for pipe fittings. They create leak-proof connections without the need for soldering, making the process faster, cleaner, and more reliable.

  • Common Uses: Re-piping and water system repairs.
