Comprehensive Plumbing Solutions in Harrisburg

Up to 80% of Harrisburg’s plumbing infrastructure was built before 1940. The aging infrastructure can be overwhelmed by rainwater, resulting in backups and basement flooding. Older Harrisburg homes may have plumbing pipes made from outdated materials like galvanized steel, cast iron, or copper. Some older homes may even have lead pipes, a potential health risk. Roto-Rooter plumbers tailor our services to meet and resolve issues with plumbing in Harrisburg, PA.

We offer a wide range of plumbing services, including:

  4. Sewer backups

  5. Standing water in basements

Water Heater Repairs and Installations 

Water heater repairs are among the top reasons people call plumbers in Harrisburg, PA. The average lifespan of a conventional water heater is 11 years, with tankless models lasting about two decades. Make sure you’re scheduling regular water heater maintenance. 

If you notice any of these warning signs, give us a call:

  • Reduced Hot Water Supply: May indicate sediment buildup, a faulty heating element, or a leak.

  • Pools of Water Around the Tank Base: A sign of a serious issue, including a possible hole in the tank.

  • Temperature and Pressure Relief Valve Ejecting Water: Indicates high pressure or temperature, requiring immediate attention.

  • Strange Noises: Suggest sediment buildup, a faulty heating element, or a leak.

  • Discolored Hot Water: Rust or contaminants could be affecting your water.

  • Frequent Water Heater Operation: May indicate sediment buildup or a malfunctioning component.

Roto-Rooter’s residential and commercial plumbers in Harrisburg, PA, service all types of water heaters, including traditional, tankless, and solar models.

Water Softener and Filtration

Harrisburg has hard water. Minerals in hard water accumulate in water pipes and appliances, reducing water flow and causing damage. Hard water used for bathing dries skin and leaves hair looking limp. Roto-Rooter installs and services water softeners, which alleviate the damaging qualities of hard water. 

Types of water softeners

  • Salt-based water softeners

  • Salt-free water softeners

  • Dual-tank water softeners

  • Magnetic water softeners

  • Reverse osmosis water softeners

  • Shower head water softeners

Harrisburg’s water supply comes from the DeHart Dam and Reservoir and the Susquehanna River. Local water meets state and federal safety standards, but trace amounts of harmful compounds from agricultural runoff and “forever chemicals,” or PFAS may be present in drinking water. A water filtration system helps ensure your home or business's best possible water quality. Types of filtration systems

Types of filtration systems

  • Activated carbon

  • Ion exchange

  • Reverse osmosis

  • Mechanical

  • Ultraviolet

No one wants to have an plumbing issues, but when we did have our first plumbing issue, we called a known company in the area for help. The ... call was answered after regular business hours. Service call and scheduling were handled very efficiently and the plumber arrived when he was expected to. Plumber completed the repair in a timely manner; he also was prompt, courteous and very tidy with cleaning up. All is back to normal. Thank you!

Roots were blocking my sewer line (back-up). Another service had attempted to open the line but, as we later discovered, apparently did not have the equipment necessary to perform ... the task. They didn't seem to know what to do and offered to get the "tools that they needed" soon and would call me soon (I had to call them) - after returning a month later (when it backed up again) they punched another hole thru with a water jet ("flooded" my garage in the process to the point that I used my shop vac to control the spreading, they then used theirs' too in the line - actually dumped it out in my yard leaving a pile of excrement and then left me to clean up the mess and disinfect my floor) only to have it back up again the following month. After several more calls to them and more excuses we decided to cut our losses. I called you guys and within a few hours Kurt (your tech) showed up, acted professionally, in no time he had the roots cut out and even showed me (camera) that the line was now clear - with no mess for me to take care of... I'm glad that we made the right decision this time. Thanks!

sorry - I assume that these are reviewed before being "posted". I had already completed this survey but my internet connection failed before I was able to enter the drawing. ... Since I lost $ 500 to the first "plumber" (I use that term loosely!) that would be the perfect end to my bad experience with them that you guys resolved for me. Thanks again for another (I'm a usual customer - unfortunately when I contacted "you" on the Sunday when my sewer backed-up the other guy was able to be here sooner...my luck) wonderful experience I had with your company and I look forward to your "service notice" (reminder) in two (2) years!
