Water Heater Repairs and Installations

Water heater repairs are among the top reasons people call plumbers in St. Louis, MO. The average lifespan of a conventional water heater is 11 years, with tankless models lasting about two decades. Make sure you’re scheduling regular water heater maintenance.

If You Notice Any of These Warning Signs, Give Us a Call:

  • Reduced Hot Water Supply: May indicate sediment buildup, a faulty heating element, or a leak.
  • Pools of Water Around the Tank Base: A sign of a serious issue, including a possible hole in the tank.
  • Temperature and Pressure Relief Valve Ejecting Water: Indicates high pressure or temperature, requiring immediate attention.
  • Strange Noises: Suggest sediment buildup, a faulty heating element, or a leak.
  • Discolored Hot Water: Rust or contaminants could be affecting your water.
  • Frequent Water Heater Operation: May indicate sediment buildup or a malfunctioning component.

A Roto-Rooter plumber in St. Louis can service all types of water heaters, including gas or electric conventional, tankless, and solar models.

Sewer Pipe Restoration and Excavation in St. Louis

Sewer line issues can result in backed-up wastewater, foul smells, and property damage. Roto-Rooter’s sewer solutions professionals clear clogs and repair sewer lines quickly and efficiently to protect your property and health.

Our Sewer Line Services Include:

  • Sewer Line Cleaning: Prevent and eliminate clogs and backups with routine cleanings.

Water Softener and Filtration

St. Louis has hard water. Dissolved calcium and magnesium in the water supply 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
  • Anti-scale devices

St. Louis’s water supply comes from the Missouri River. Local water meets state and federal safety standards but may contain trace amounts of nitrate and disinfection byproducts. Water can be cloudy at some times of year due to high oxygen levels. A water filtration system helps ensure your home or business has the best possible water quality.

Types of Filtration Systems

  • Activated carbon
  • Ion exchange
  • Reverse osmosis
  • Mechanical
  • Ultraviolet
