Local water meets or exceeds EPA water quality standards, but may contain trace amounts of chromium, radium, disinfection byproducts, and PFAS or forever chemicals. A water filtration system helps ensure your home or business's best possible water quality.

Recent Customer Reviews
prompt and courteous
tyler m.They are so wonderful! I needed help ASAP taking off an old kitchen faucet and installing a new one. Two other companies refused to come since the hurricane winds knocked ... out our cell tower and I was unable to receive any calls. Everyone I spoke to with Roto-Rooter was extremely helpful and understanding and they don't overcharge. They now have a customer for life! Thank you all so very very much! You rock!!!
Perfect service experience! I contact Roto-Rooter online to request service during evening hours after I realized I had a drain blockage in the kitchen sink. It could not have been ... easier to schedule a service call for the following morning. Following the scheduling, a message was received by email confirming the scheduled call, instructing me that I would also be called 30 minutes prior to the technician's arrival. The work was done efficiently and knowledgeably by the technician, offering helpful tips and confirming that I was using Pipe Shield as directed. Good service from Roto-Rooter cannot be overstated.
