Water Damage Cleanup
Roto-Rooter’s water cleanup teams help our customers that have experienced water damage from plumbing failure or a weather event.

When necessary they apply anti-microbials to decontaminate the area and prevent mold growth. Roto-Rooter hires and trains general laborers and lead technicians for our water cleanup team. There is ample opportunity for advancement to become a lead technician or project manager. It’s a well-paying career with plenty of work, job security, good pay and generous benefits.
