Going Green: How Mr. Rooter Clears Lines
Without Chemical Cleaners
In a world that is going green, most businesses are now providing new products to its customers. Plumbing companies are no exception. As for Mr. Rooter shops, we offer customers an environmentally friendly product that reduces drain backups and odors.
BioChoiceES® is a chemical-free drain cleaner that proudly displays the Environmental Protection Agency’s Design for the Environment logo. Compared to conventional drain cleaners that contain sodium hydroxide, which can release poisonous gases and damage the piping and finish on sinks and fixtures, BioChoiceES is completely natural.
Over the last few years, we’ve noticed that more and more customers want a green product. In fact, we have customers calling us when their BioChoiceES bottles are running low and are about to need new ones. On average, my team sells 64 bottles a week.
It is more than just a safe product. I feel BioChoiceES works better than traditional drain cleaners. At approximately $1.00 per treatment, it is also more cost effective.
Another benefit of BoiChioceES is that it’s easy to use. After you pour it down the drain, you can simply forget about it, because it does the rest of the work all by itself. The live vegetative cultures immediately begin consuming grease, oil and other organic waste build-up.
Here’s how the process works. The initial treatment consists of pouring 5 capfuls down the drain. After that you only need to put one capful down each drain on a monthly basis.
Because BoiChioceES eliminates costly grease-related problems, we’ve been working with restaurant owners lately. It’s a simple process for commercial customers as well. An auto dispensing system automatically meters the correct amount of BioChoiceES, keeping main drain lines flowing. We then return to the restaurant each month to inspect the dispensing unit and make sure drains and plumbing fixtures are working at their peak performance.
We feel this is a win-win for customers and us. It helps Mr. Rooter shops be good stewards of the environment while taking care of our customers’ needs.

Mr. Rooter Corporation actually asked One Biotechnology, a company that specializes in the production of patented, live microbial cultures, to create an environmentally friendly product Mr. Rooter franchises could offer customers.
