    Expert Drain Cleaning in Baltimore

    Drain blockages need prompt attention before they escalate into bigger problems. Common culprits like hair accumulation, soap residue, grease, and intrusive foreign objects can hinder water flow, paving the way for severe issues like unpleasant overflows and harmful mold growth. Roto-Rooter is ready to attack your most stubborn drain clogs — and our plumbers’ skill and expertise enable us to deal with them effectively.

    Roto-Rooter's proud legacy can be traced back to Samuel Blanc's groundbreaking invention of the modern drain-cleaning tool in 1935. Blanc’s original Roto-Rooter tool used mechanized blades and flexible cables to dive deep into drains and cut apart the toughest clogs. Building upon that rich history, we've consistently refined our techniques and tools to remain at the forefront of drain solutions. The Baltimore plumber team at Roto-Rooter is always ready to restore your drains to perfect working conditions, so get in touch to schedule a drain cleaning today.

    Sewer Line Services in Baltimore

    Sewer line issues, whether they’re blockages or structural damages, can be nothing short of a nightmare. The sheer thought of raw sewage backing up into your sink, bathtub, or basement is harrowing, and both property damage and health hazards can result. 

    Unfortunately, Baltimore's vintage architectural charm means many buildings have ancient plumbing lines that are susceptible to challenges like invasive tree roots. Once these roots penetrate the looser joints of old pipes, they quickly spread out and begin catching all kinds of sewer debris, forming hard-to-reach clogs that can destroy your plumbing. If you’re experiencing sewer problems, you need a professional Baltimore plumber with the right expertise — and you need service now before the problem gets worse.

    Roto-Rooter’s plumbers are equipped with advanced techniques to provide comprehensive sewer line services. We root out leaks, blockages, and backups with our state-of-the-art tools, and our services are tailored to tackle Baltimore's unique infrastructural challenges head-on. Talk to our experts now and find out how Roto-Rooter’s plumbing pros can serve your needs.

    Water Heater Repairs in Baltimore

    In the face of Baltimore’s biting winters, a consistently functioning water heater is indispensable. Varied challenges, from obstructions in vent pipes to the onset of rust in tanks, need swift, professional attention — especially since some water heater problems can create serious safety hazards, up to and including gas explosions. Call us if you notice any of these water heater warning signs: 

    • Hot water supply runs out quickly
    • Leaks around the base
    • Temperature & pressure relief valve is ejecting water
    • Strange noises from the water heater 
    • Discolored hot water
    • Water heater runs more often

    Often, these signs indicate problems ranging from hard water minerals accumulating in the tank, corroding anode rods, failing heating elements, clogged vent pipes, and even a hole in the tank. Our experienced plumbers understand the causes of water heater problems in Baltimore. We repair all types and brands of water heaters, including conventional and tankless models, both gas and electric. Our Baltimore plumbers can also replace and install water heaters if required.

    Roto-Rooter’s adept team is standing by to ensure that your water heater doesn't leave you shivering in the cold. We’re fully qualified to repair, replace, or install your water heater, so contact us now and schedule fast and friendly service from Roto-Rooter.

    How to prevent spring flooding?

    • Test your sump pump by pouring a few buckets of water into the sump pit. The pump should quickly turn on, discharge the water then shut off without any problems.
    • Install a battery backup for your sump pump.
    • Make sure yard drains, gutters and downspouts are cleaned out, open, and free of debris.
    • Check for bird nests in plumbing vent pipes.
    • Check faucets and hose bibs to make sure water flows freely. If an outdoor faucet drips or if there is leakage inside your home the first time the hose is turned on, you may have had a frozen pipe that cracked and needs to be replaced.

    I sent this email to mike.omara@rrsc.com and derrickallender@rrsc.com but it bounced back as undeliverable. Let me know and I can send you the picture as well. I am sorry that this ... email comes much later than it should have but I figured better late then never. On Thanksgiving last year (2013) my wife accidentally flushed she engagement ring and wedding band down the toilet in our home (she was cleaning them and while leaving them to dry in tissues she flushed the tissues….) She was heartbroken and we didn't think anyone would be able to recover it and were even unsure anyone open on Thanksgiving. We called several companies and only Roto-Rooter had someone on call with a video camera to give it a try. Mr. Derrick Allender went above and beyond. Initially on the first attempt he was unable to locate it. He said "lets give it another try," and after a couple attempts we saw what we thought may be the ring. He tracked it down and noticed that it was still in the pipes in our basement and then noticed that if he pushed the wring several feet it would be in the pipes in our closet. He called in for additional help to cut pipes in the closet and pushed the ring through. My wife was jumping up and down with tears in her eyes almost as if we were engaged again! Mr. Allender was persistent, professional, and courteous. All on a day when we spend time with families yet Mr. Allender was never is a rush and wanted to help us as much as he could. I have included a picture of the night my wife, Kristin, and I were engaged. Thanks to Mr. Allender we can continue to take such pictures! Thank you, Mr. Allender!

    I had a very NASTY sewer back-up into my basement. I called the 800 number and was very pleasantly surprised that I got to talk to a real human....not ... a machine. Chris Jones (the plumber) actually arrived sooner than I expected on a Sunday afternoon in the middle of a Ravens game (AMAZING). He quickly assessed the problem and offered me options. He took care of a sewer line blockage and recommended and contacted Roto Rooter water restoration for clean up of a very NASTY mess. In one afternoon, the drain was cleared, and the bathroom and basement was sparkling and completely sanitized. I would definitely recommend this company.

    I could not wash clothes because the water drain very slowly. After the technician used the snake for about 45 minutes - The drain was cleared. He also checked and cleared the ... drain under the washing machine . I was then able to wash clothes in the washer and the water went through easily. He was not satisfied because the snake could not go completely through He recommended that i call the rotor rooter office to request a look at my pipes with a camera They called me to arrange an appointment. When the camera man came out two days later He knew that because my house is old the pipes are too small for a camera But i am pleased as always with Rotor rooter (i have used them for over 30 years) I can wash my clothes and even Though the snake would not go through my pipes were cleared enough . I purchased their product to be used monthly to help keep my drains clean ROTOR ROOTER ALWAYS GET THE JOB DONE! !! Thank you for your help!!

    Myles S.
    Baltimore, MD

    I went downstairs to the laundry room located in the basement. Once I loaded the washer, I went to use the toilet and saw that the water level was ... low and dirty. I flushed the toilet and low and behold, it began to run over. I immediately turned the water off and ran to get something to absorb the overflow. I remembered earlier in the week that I heard these unfamiliar noises in the bath tub when I would flush the toilet and unfamiliar noises when I would let the water out of the kitchen sink. I had used the services of Roto-Rooter just six months ago for this same problem. I placed a call hoping that they would come out on such short notice to address the problem and sure enough, I was told that someone would be out within the next two hours and sure enough, the Water Restoration team was at my door within that time frame. I just knew that I would be told within the next day or two. The next person on the scene was Greg Thompson. Greg came out when we had a problem back in March. Greg wen to work to locate the problem and once he did , he asked me to come down to the basement so that he could show me what the problem was, where the problem was and what was causing the problem. He cleaned the debris out of the pipe and advised me what should be done to avoid having the problem reoccur. When he finished, he cleaned the area where he worked so that all I had to do was to replace the items that we took out of the closet in order for him to get to what he needed to get too. I appreciate the fact that the each of the men covered their shoes before entering my home. The next team that came in took down some pieces of drywall and the wood around the baseboard. They informed me that they were cleaning the area to prevent mold and to remove the smell that had been created during the cleaning of the debris in the sewer. They also removed the wet blankets that I had put down to contain the water. I asked them if they wanted me to put them in my outside trash can. They thanked me but said "no", that they would take them. They then informed me that they were going to leave some equipment for approximately three days that would dry the area and take away the smell. There were a total of five men from Roto-Rooter today, each with a different task and each task. I felt comfortable interacting with them and asking them questions.They were professional, mannerly, and had great interpersonal skills. I am a stickler when it comes to cleaning up after ones self. I complemented how I liked the fact that they cleaned up behind themselves after they completed their tasks. One of the guys said that that was 80%of their job to make sure no messes were left behind. I have no complaints for "A JOB WELL DONE".
