RooterMan: A Legacy of Service Since 1970
RooterMan was founded in 1970 by entrepreneur Donald MacDonald in North Billerica, Massachusetts. Built on hard work, honesty, and a passion for solving plumbing and drain problems, RooterMan quickly grew into one of the largest plumbing, sewer, and drain cleaning companies in the Northeast.
By 1981, RooterMan began franchising, partnering only with the best in the industry to uphold its trusted name and service standards. Today, RooterMan has expanded to over 480 locations across the United States and Canada, earning recognition as the #1 Franchise Opportunity in the Plumbing, Sewer, and Drain Cleaning Category by Entrepreneur Magazine for ten consecutive years (2003–2012). Each location is independently owned and operated, ensuring personalized service rooted in local communities.
Our Franchise Story
In 2003, Vinnie and Brenda (a husband and wife team) - took a leap of faith and purchased an existing RooterMan franchise with the last of their savings and three young daughters in tow. With Vinnie’s years of experience in sewer and drain cleaning, they grew slowly but steadily, expanding their territory and building a team they proudly call family. Through trial, error, and the wisdom shared by fellow franchise owners, they continued to learn, grow, and serve.
Today, RooterMan, we are proud to be your trusted local expert in sewer and drain cleaning. Our technicians bring years of hands-on experience to every job, using advanced tools like high-pressure water jetting and video pipe inspections to locate and solve problems quickly. Whether it’s a sewer, septic tank, or grease trap, our team can conquer any drain challenge.
We are grateful for the opportunity to serve our community, expand our business, and raise our family here in Massachusetts. RooterMan isn’t just about drains—it’s about people, trust, and building a legacy of service.
