Comprehensive Plumbing Solutions in Houston
Houston plumbing faces unique challenges due to the local climate and infrastructure. Heavy rainfall and hurricane storm surges can lead to sewer backups and flooding. Local “gumbo” clay soil expands and contracts with moisture changes, resulting in misaligned, cracked, or collapsed underground pipes. Older buildings may still use galvanized or cast iron pipes, which corrode, rust, and leak over time. Roto-Rooter’s skilled Houston plumbing technicians tailor their services to meet and resolve local plumbing issues.

- Commercial plumbing

Water Softener and Filtration
Houston has 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 that alleviate the damaging qualities of hard water.
Types of Water Softeners
- Salt-based water softeners
- Salt-free water softeners
- Dual-tank water softeners
- Anti-scale devices
Houston’s water supply comes from Lake Conroe, Lake Houston, and Lake Livingston. Local water meets EPA safety standards but may contain trace amounts of lead, chlorine, disinfection products, and carcinogenic PFAS. Algae blooms can give water a musty, earthy flavor. 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

How can I tell if I need professional plumbing repairs?

How does the climate in Houston, TX, affect my plumbing system?
Houston has a hot, humid climate that can see temperatures above 90°F with humidity levels exceeding 70% in the summer.
