Founded nationally in 1935, Roto-Rooter has grown into North America’s leading name in plumbing and drain services. Our local story began that same year when Don and Frances Smith brought the Roto-Rooter franchise to the Mobile area. They started the business out of their living room, earning just $350 in their first month—but laying the foundation for decades of growth.
In 1933, Samuel Blanc created a funny-looking sewer cleaning machine from a 1/6 HP Maytag washing machine motor, roller skate wheels and 3/8″ cable to turn the blades. The device used a combination of special blades or “knives” to cut tree roots out of sewer lines. No digging was required. A year later, Sam’s wife Lettie christened the prototype the “Roto-Rooter.”
