Comprehensive Plumbing Solutions in Houston

Houston plumbing faces unique challenges due to 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.

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. Our commercial plumbers in Houston provide professional services to local businesses, including oil and gas companies, aviation manufacturing plants, logistics centers, warehouses, and retail outlets:

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, 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

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
