Company History

Bob's Sewerooter Service began as a small family operation in 1962. Over the decades the business added more technicians and invested in video inspection gear and high-pressure jetting equipment. It grew slowly, keeping a local focus and steady service area rather than expanding far from home.

The company has adapted to local needs: winter thawing services for Iowa winters, routine maintenance programs for rental properties, and storm-drain work after heavy spring rains. The approach is practical — fix the problem, document the work, and leave the job safe.

Leadership

The founding family still plays an active role. The original founder trained many of the current technicians and set standards for on-site reporting and customer communication. Leadership often spends time on local job sites, and the company supports area trade programs and apprenticeships to develop new plumbers in the community.
