Frequently Asked Questions in Calexico
How do I know if I have a hidden water leak inside my walls?
Hidden leaks often show up as soft spots on drywall, unexplained spikes in your water bill, or the sound of running water when every fixture is off. A Roto-Rooter technician uses moisture meters and visual inspection to trace the source without unnecessary demolition. Catching a hidden leak early prevents structural damage and mold growth behind walls.
My basement floor drain backed up during a heavy rain. What happened?
A basement floor drain sits at the lowest point of the home's drainage system, so it backs up first when the main sewer line is overwhelmed or partially blocked. The drain itself may also have a clogged trap. A Roto-Rooter technician clears the trap, inspects the branch line, and checks the main line to determine whether the backup is a localized clog or a sign of a larger obstruction.
Why does my kitchen drain keep clogging even after I use drain cleaner?
Kitchen drains clog from cooking grease that cools and solidifies on the pipe wall, layering up over time. Liquid drain cleaners dissolve a narrow channel through the buildup but leave the coating intact. Roto-Rooter's hydro jetting scours the full pipe wall with high-pressure water, removing calcified grease and food solids so the clog doesn't rebuild within weeks.
I think my refrigerator's ice maker line is leaking behind the wall. How serious is that?
A slow leak from an ice maker line can go unnoticed for weeks because it drips behind the refrigerator or inside a cabinet. Over time the moisture saturates subfloor material and wall framing. A Roto-Rooter technician can isolate the supply line, confirm the source of the leak, and repair or replace the connection before the damage spreads further.
When should I consider repiping instead of just patching a leaky pipe?
A single pinhole leak is typically a repair job. When leaks recur in multiple spots, water discolors at the tap, or flow has noticeably slowed over time, the pipe material itself is usually failing from the inside. Galvanized steel corrodes and restricts flow as it ages. Roto-Rooter can assess the pipe condition and discuss replacement options, including conversion to copper or PEX.
My water heater is making a rumbling noise. What's causing that?
Rumbling usually means sediment has settled on the tank floor. As the burner heats the water, it pushes through that layer of mineral deposits, creating the noise. Left alone, sediment reduces efficiency and accelerates tank corrosion. A Roto-Rooter technician can flush the tank, inspect the anode rod, and test the pressure relief valve to restore normal operation.
Why does my whole house have low water pressure all of a sudden?
A sudden drop in pressure across multiple fixtures usually points to a supply-side issue - a leak somewhere in the line, a partially closed shutoff valve, or a failing pressure reducing valve. A Roto-Rooter technician traces the drop systematically, starting at the main shutoff and working inward, to pinpoint the cause before recommending a repair.
What causes tree roots to get into my sewer line, and how do you fix it?
Tree roots enter drain lines through hairline cracks at pipe joints, then expand as they absorb moisture from inside the pipe. Over time they form a dense mat that catches debris and causes recurring backups. Roto-Rooter's mechanical auger cuts through root intrusion, and a sewer camera inspection confirms whether the joint has cracked far enough to need repair or lining.
Multiple drains in my house are backing up at the same time. What does that mean?
When toilets, tubs, and sinks all back up together, the blockage is almost always in the main sewer line between the house and the city connection - not in any individual fixture. A Roto-Rooter technician clears main-line blockages with the Roto-Rooter Machine and follows up with a camera inspection to confirm the line is fully open and identify any underlying damage.
Can Roto-Rooter come out in the middle of the night if a pipe bursts?
Yes. Roto-Rooter dispatch is available 24/7, 365 days a year. A burst pipe can release a large volume of water quickly, so the priority is shutting off the main supply valve and getting a technician on-site as fast as possible. Call 760-352-6789 any time - day or night - to reach Roto-Rooter dispatch in Calexico, CA.
My toilet keeps running long after I flush it. Is that a big deal?
A running toilet wastes a significant amount of water and usually means the flapper or fill valve is no longer sealing properly. The flapper is a rubber disc at the bottom of the tank - when it warps or wears out, water trickles continuously into the bowl. A Roto-Rooter technician can replace the flapper, fill valve, or both to stop the waste quickly.
