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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
