Frequently Asked Questions in Keystone
How often does a septic tank actually need to be pumped?
Most septic tanks need pumping every three to five years, though household size and tank capacity affect that interval. Sludge and scum layers build up over time, and once they reach the outlet baffle, solids move into the drainfield and clog the soil pores - a repair far more costly than routine pumping. Roto-Rooter inspects the tank during the service call to confirm the sludge level and recommend a schedule going forward.
My drains are slow but only in the bathroom - what is usually causing that?
Bathroom sink, tub, and shower drains slow down when hair binds with soap scum just past the P-trap. The buildup narrows the pipe opening gradually, so the drain seems fine until it nearly stops. A hand auger retrieves the hair-and-scum mass from the trap area. For deeper or recurring buildup further down the branch line, Roto-Rooter can follow up with hydro jetting to clear the full length of the pipe.
Can tree roots really grow into my drain pipes, and how do you remove them?
Roots enter sewer laterals through hairline cracks at pipe joints, then expand as they absorb moisture from inside the line. Over time they form a dense mat that catches debris and causes recurring backups. The Roto-Rooter Machine cuts through root intrusion directly, and a follow-up camera inspection confirms whether the pipe wall is intact or needs further attention.

How do I know if my main sewer line is clogged and not just one fixture?
A single slow drain usually points to a localized clog in that fixture's branch line. When multiple fixtures back up at the same time - toilets gurgling while a sink drains slowly, for example - the blockage is almost always in the main sewer line between the house and the street. Roto-Rooter technicians use a sewer camera to confirm the location and cause before clearing the line with an auger or hydro jetting.
What is hydro jetting and is it better than snaking my drain?
A cable auger punches through a clog to restore flow, but it leaves grease and scale coating the pipe wall. Hydro jetting sends a high-pressure water stream through the line, scouring the interior surface clean. That makes it the better choice for kitchen drains with heavy grease buildup or any line with recurring clogs. Roto-Rooter can assess which method fits the situation before starting work.
