Like most great inventions and ideas, Roto-Rooter was born when Sam Blanc decided there had to be a better way to clear a clog in a drainline at his sons home. This was back in 1935, At that time, the only way to clear a drainline clog seemed to be to dig up the yard and find the clog. Clear it and fill in the dirt. It was expensive, time consuming and destructive. But Sam was a thinker. He saw a problem and figured out a way to solve it. With a motor from his wife’s washing machine and some cable, he created the first Roto-Rooter machine. It worked. Boy did it work! Download Full article.
Who we Are
In 1972 the Brierly family purchased the Tulsa Roto-Rooter franchise. It may have started out as a one-man operation, but over the years we have been able to add tremendous experience and talent by hiring Oklahoma’s best plumbers to join our company. In 1990, the Brierlys purchased the Oklahoma City area Roto-Rooter franchise and the family brought the same honesty and quality to OKC that made the Tulsa franchise so successful. We now have a total of over 30 Licensed Journeyman Plumbers on staff.
The expertise you get when you hire a Roto-Rooter plumber is unmatched in the industry. Our staff is trained on the current legal plumbing codes. Our knowledge of these codes is important because it allows us to provide safe service to our customers.
