Customer Reviews in Staten Island
Plumbing Tech Akini Rawles did an excellent job, and went above and beyond the call of duty. He stayed and assisted in making sure the water line was sealed, even ... after DEP and the FDNY said there was nothing that could be done to stop the flow of water. He was courteous, friendly and professional. He gave his word that he would not leave until we figured out how to stop the water that was flooding our basement, and he lived up to his word. Great Job. He needs a promotion!
Service was on time. Work was quick and clean. Amazing help with insurance claim.

Frequently Asked Questions in Staten Island
What plumbing services does Roto-Rooter provide in Staten Island?
Roto-Rooter provides complete plumbing, drain cleaning, water heater, and water damage restoration services 24/7, 365 days a year. This includes sewer line inspection, pipe restoration, emergency plumbing, leak detection, water heater services, water softener and filtration, video camera inspections, and high-pressure water jetting.
Why do some NYC basements and ground-floor units flood during heavy rain?
Low-lying neighborhoods including Red Hook, Gowanus, Flushing Meadows, and parts of Staten Island's South Shore are particularly vulnerable when the city's combined sewer system surcharges during heavy rainfall — pushing water and sewage back through building drain connections. Roto-Rooter can install sump pumps and backflow prevention devices to protect vulnerable properties from recurring flood damage.
What causes low water pressure in Staten Island homes?
Low pressure most commonly results from corroded galvanized steel supply lines in mid-century homes. Internal rust buildup narrows the pipe diameter, reducing flow at every fixture. Other causes include partially closed shut-off valves, failed pressure regulators, and hidden leaks in the supply line.
Is Roto-Rooter available for emergencies on holidays and weekends?
Yes. Roto-Rooter is available 24/7, 365 days a year, including all holidays, weekends, and overnight hours. Call 718-485-1265 any time you need immediate plumbing assistance in Staten Island, and our experienced plumbing technicians will respond promptly.
Does Roto-Rooter offer trenchless pipe repair in Staten Island?
Yes. Trenchless methods minimize disruption to landscaping, driveways, and sidewalks. After a video camera inspection confirms the pipe's condition, our experienced plumbing technicians determine whether trenchless repair is appropriate. When conditions allow, it significantly reduces restoration time and cost.
Why do so many Staten Island homes have cast iron pipe problems?
Buildings constructed before the 1960s used cast iron for drain, waste, and vent piping. After 60 to 100 years, these pipes corrode from the inside out, developing scale buildup and cracks. Warning signs include slow drains, gurgling sounds, sewage odors, and rust at pipe joints. Roto-Rooter uses video camera inspection to assess cast iron lines and recommend repair or replacement.
What should I do if my pipes freeze in winter?
Turn off the main water supply immediately to prevent flooding when the ice thaws. Apply gentle heat with a hair dryer, working from the faucet end toward the frozen section. If a pipe has burst or you cannot locate the frozen area, call Roto-Rooter at 718-485-1265. Our experienced plumbing technicians are available 24/7, 365 days a year.
Can Roto-Rooter handle basement flooding in Staten Island?
Yes. Basement flooding is one of the most common calls we receive, particularly during heavy rainstorms when the combined sewer system overloads. Roto-Rooter provides emergency water extraction, structural drying with industrial-grade equipment, mold prevention, and full restoration. We respond promptly and document damage for insurance claims.
How does Staten Island's combined sewer system affect my plumbing?
The combined sewer system carries stormwater and sanitary sewage in a single pipe. During heavy rainstorms, it can become overwhelmed, causing sewage to back up through basement floor drains. Properties with backwater valves have better protection. Roto-Rooter can inspect your sewer connection and recommend measures to reduce your risk.
