Comprehensive Plumbing Solutions in Buffalo

Buffalo’s aging plumbing infrastructure includes approximately 40,000 lead service lines, which can leach lead into drinking water and pose serious health risks. Pipes made from galvanized steel or cast iron corrode over time, leading to leaks, pipe bursts, and water quality issues. Basements are at risk of flooding during spring thaws, and the city’s cold winters can result in frozen pipes. Roto-Rooter’s plumbing services in Buffalo, NY, are tailored to meet and resolve local plumbing issues.

We offer a wide range of plumbing services, including: 

Commercial Plumbing Services 

Roto-Rooter understands that a commercial plumbing issue can shut down your business, forcing you to turn away customers and reducing productivity. We provide the following commercial plumbing services to Buffalo businesses, including healthcare facilities, auto manufacturing plants, financial offices, and retail outlets:

You can’t afford to wait when you need an emergency plumber in Buffalo. Roto-Rooter’s dedicated plumbers are on call 24/7 with same-day service to solve your plumbing and water-related emergencies. 

7 signs of a plumbing emergency 

  1. Frozen pipes

  2. Sudden loss of water pressure

  3. Sewage odors from drains

  4. Standing water in basements

  5. Unexplained spike in water bills

  6. Water heater malfunctions

  7. Frequent drain clogs

Expert Drain Cleaning in Buffalo 

Debris that builds up over time in drains can cause clogs, reducing water flow and blocking the drain. By offering 24/7 drain and sewer cleaning support, Roto-Rooter can help keep your drains clear.

Our drain cleaning services include:

  • Sink drains

Water Heater Repairs and Installations 

Water heater repairs are among the top reasons people call plumbers in Buffalo, NY. 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 experienced Buffalo plumbing technicians service all types of water heaters, including traditional, tankless, and solar models.

Sewer Pipe Restoration and Excavation in Buffalo

Sewer line issues can result in backed-up wastewater, foul smells, and property damage. Roto-Rooter’s sewer solutions professionals clear clogs and repair sewer lines quickly and efficiently to protect your property and health. 

Our sewer line services include:

  • Sewer Line Cleaning: Prevent clogs and backups with routine cleanings.

  • Video Camera Inspections: See exactly what’s causing your sewer line problems with our in-pipe inspections.

  • Sewer Line Repair: We use conventional excavation and trenchless methods to repair damaged sewer lines with minimal disruption.

  • Sewer Line Replacement: When repairs aren’t feasible, we replace your sewer line with durable, high-quality materials.

Water Softener and Filtration

Buffalo has moderately 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

Buffalo’s water supply comes from Lake Erie. Local water meets state and federal safety standards but may contain trace amounts of lead, TTHMs, HAAs, and PFAS. Algae blooms on Lake Erie can give the water an unpleasant taste and smell. A water filtration system helps ensure your home or business has the best possible water quality. 

Types of filtration systems

  • Activated carbon

  • Ion exchange

  • Reverse osmosis

  • Mechanical

  • Ultraviolet

World class service by Tech 3258. He should get a raise.

James M.
Buffalo, NY

We needed help and called Roto-Rooter. Scott Brown came out on Sunday to help us figure out what the issue was. He was unable to fix it without ... a Water Jet to remove the plug from the toilet. He came back first thing the next day and got it cleared for us. He then assisted us with contacting the right staff to do clean-up because of all the water damage. We now have a basement that no longer smells like sewage, and a new clean out in our front yard. Thanks to all the great guys that helped with the clean up and the crew that has worked so diligently to make an access point out front. Roto-Rooter will always be the one to call.
