Roto-Rooter has been in the drain cleaning business since 1935, when Samuel Blanc patented the first electric drain cleaning machine and founded the first Roto-Rooter franchise. Today, the technology hasn’t changed much from Blanc’s classic invention, and uses blades to cut through debris to restore proper water flow.
As a premier drain cleaning company, Roto-Rooter is leading the industry by cleaning more drains and performing more sewer line repairs than any other company in North America. Roto-Rooter can help with any kind of clogged drain and address all sewer cleaning services. Our plumbers provide both residential and commercial services, addressing clogged kitchen drains, clogged bathroom drains, clogged outdoor drains, and clogged sewer lines 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Ryan Willbanks is owner of Roto-Rooter Plumbing & Drain Service locations in Springfield, Joplin, as well as one in Wisconsin and two in Virginia, but he views himself more as a coach for his employees.
Willbanks always looks for the good in people and helps them develop professionally and personally to achieve success – mentoring and encouraging underperforming and undereducated employees and training them to be productive contributors. Since moving to the Springfield market in 2015, Willbanks has grown his locations’ revenue to $2.5 million from $500,000.
