Comprehensive Plumbing Solutions in Columbus

Older homes in Columbus, especially in neighborhoods like German Village and Clintonville, may have aging plumbing systems with galvanized steel, cast iron, clay, or Orangeburg pipes that are prone to clogs, leaks, and sudden pipe bursts. The city has strict plumbing codes for major repairs, remodels, and pipe replacements that require the expertise of licensed plumbing companies. Columbus Roto-Rooter plumbers tailor their services 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 Columbus plumbing services to local commercial facilities, including medical device manufacturing plants, financial institutions, logistics centers, and retail outlets:

You can’t afford to wait when you need a Columbus emergency plumber. 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. Visible frost on pipes

  2. Sudden loss of water pressure

  3. Sewage odors from drains

  4. Standing water in basements

  5. Unexplained spike in water bills

  6. Discolored or rusty water

  7. Cracked or burst outdoor hose bibs

Expert Drain Cleaning in Columbus 

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. Call us, and a Columbus, OH, plumber will be at your door to address your sewer or drain problem. 

Our drain cleaning services Include:

  • Sink drains

  • Toilet drains

  • Floor drains

  • Roof drains and downspouts

  • Storm drains

  • Main sewer drains

We use drain snakes, rooters, and hydro-jetting equipment to eliminate debris and optimize drain performance. No matter the cause of your clogged drain, we’ll open it and clean it thoroughly from end to end.

Water Heater Repairs and Installations 

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

Sewer Pipe Restoration and Excavation in Columbus

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

Columbus 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

Columbus’s water supply comes from multiple sources, including the Scioto River and the Griggs and O’Shaughnessy reservoirs. Local water meets the requirements of the Safe Water Drinking Act, but may contain trace amounts of nitrates, chlorine, barium, lead, copper, and carcinogenic PFAS. A water filtration system helps ensure your home or business's best possible water quality. 

Types of filtration systems

  • Activated carbon

  • Ion exchange

  • Reverse osmosis

  • Mechanical

  • Ultraviolet

I was so pleased when on short notice they were able to install our new dishwasher the same day as I called. They came in and evaluated what was ... needed, went and got the parts needed for the job, came back and the job was done. Well done, well done. No muss no fuss. Plus they took the old dish washer with them when they left. I would recommend Roto Rooter any day of the week for any plumbing needs. In the past they have also cleared our drains and have installed a new hot water tank. You can trust them to do a good job.

The technician was absolutely what we needed. We used several plumbers in the preceding months but did not get the results that we received from Rotor Rooter. Our ... drains have been clog-free for four months now and that is great! That's why I waited a while before entering this survey.
