Slow or Stopped Drains

A drain that empties slowly is accumulating a blockage. In bathroom drains, hair and soap scum collect on the P-trap first, then farther down the branch line. Kitchen drains build up grease and food particle layers that harden over time. An auger clears most household blockages on the first visit. When multiple drains slow at once, the blockage is likely in the main line - hydro jetting and camera inspection are the appropriate tools at that point.

Leaking Pipes and Fixtures

Water seeping from a joint, a pinhole in a copper line, or a dripping faucet all indicate a failing connection or fitting. Left unaddressed, even a slow leak increases water waste and can damage surrounding materials. A Roto-Rooter technician pressure-tests the affected section, identifies whether the failure is at a joint or along the pipe body, and repairs or replaces the damaged segment. PVC, PEX, copper, and galvanized steel repairs are all within scope.

Water Heater Problems

A water heater that runs lukewarm, takes longer to recover, or produces a rumbling sound during heating has one of a short list of causes: sediment accumulation on the tank floor, a deteriorating anode rod, a failing heating element (electric units), or a thermostat out of calibration. Roto-Rooter technicians flush sediment, inspect and replace the anode rod, test the pressure relief valve, and restore or replace the heating element. Most water heater calls are resolved on a single visit.

Running Toilets

A toilet that runs between flushes is losing water past the flapper or float assembly. The flapper seat may be worn, the float may be set too high, or the fill valve may be failing. Each component is inexpensive to replace, and the repair takes under an hour on a standard visit. Ignoring a running toilet wastes a significant volume of water over days and weeks.
