Oregon Plumbing Pro Cuts Roots and Downtime With General’s Maxi-Rooter®
A. Pederson’s Plumbing, a family-owned and operated business since 1973, serves Oregon’s Willamette Valley with a wide range of plumbing services, including commercial and industrial projects. The company relies on durable, high-performance equipment like the Maxi-Rooter from General Pipe Cleaners, which has been a trusted tool for over a decade.
About the Equipment
The Maxi-Rooter is a heavy-duty root-cutting machine built for power, portability, and longevity. Key features include:
- 10" ball-bearing semi-pneumatic wheels and V-belt stair climbers for easy transport
- Clears roots and heavy stoppages in 3" to 10" lines
- Holds 125 feet of 3/4" and 150 feet of 5/8" Flexicore cable
- Flexicore cable offers superior kinking resistance, strength, and flexibility with an industry-leading warranty
Plumbers at Pederson’s use a 24" leader at the end of the snake for tough root jobs, helping navigate tight bends while protecting the cable.
Why It’s Trusted
Trenton Hargrove, a plumber at Pederson’s, highlights the Maxi-Rooter’s durability and performance:
- Built with heavy-duty components, unlike competitors’ plastic-heavy designs
- Low maintenance and minimal downtime, even in demanding conditions
- Faster line cleaning saves customers money and increases job capacity
Pederson’s also uses General’s JM-3080 gas-powered sewer jetter and Super-Vee small line drain cleaners, but the Maxi-Rooter remains a favorite for its reliability and efficiency.
