If you notice any of these warning signs, give us a call:

  • Pools of Water Around the Tank Base: A sign of a serious issue, including a possible hole in the tank.

  • Temperature & 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.

Our sewer line services include:

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

My dad was out of town and I stopped by his house to check on things only to find a pipe burst and had flooded 2/3 of his condo. Looked ... up water restoration and Roto-Rooter popped up first. From the rep I spoke to on the initial call to our technician Jason (who was there within 30min), I’ve never experienced such amazing customer service. Jason was amazing-his knowledge, patience, his taking time to explain every detail was beyond wonderful. Dad made it home-Jason explained everything to go again and walked him thru the calling the insurance and setting up a claim. Just amazing. Can’t say enough good things. Thank you so much for turning this storm cloud of a situation into a rainbow.
