Frequently Asked Questions in Chapel Hill
There's standing water in my finished basement after a pipe failure. What's the first step?
The first step is water extraction - removing standing water before it soaks deeper into flooring, framing, and drywall. Roto-Rooter's water damage restoration process starts with extraction, then moves to structural drying using air movers and dehumidifiers. Wet drywall that isn't dried within 48 hours typically has to be removed. Call 931-359-2292 to reach Roto-Rooter in Chapel Hill, TN for same-day response.
What does a water softener actually do to my water?
A water softener uses an ion exchange resin bed to swap hardness minerals - calcium and magnesium - for sodium or potassium. The result is water that doesn't leave scale deposits on water heater elements, fixtures, or appliances. The resin regenerates periodically by flushing accumulated minerals with a brine solution. Roto-Rooter can size and install a softener matched to your household's daily water use.
How does a sewer camera inspection work, and do I really need one?
A sewer camera is a waterproof camera mounted on a flexible cable that travels through your drain line. It transmits live video so the technician can see exactly where a break, belly, or root intrusion is located. If you're dealing with recurring backups or buying an older home, a camera inspection removes the guesswork and tells you whether the fix is a simple cleaning or a pipe repair.
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, so a burst pipe or sudden flood doesn't have to wait until morning. Call 931-359-2292 any time and a technician will be dispatched. Shutting off the main water supply valve before help arrives limits how much water escapes while you wait.
What's the difference between augering a drain and hydro jetting it?
An auger - sometimes called a drain snake - punches through a blockage and pulls it out. Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water jets to scour the entire pipe wall, removing calcified grease, mineral scale, and root debris that an auger leaves behind. For drains that clog repeatedly, hydro jetting is the more thorough fix because it cleans the pipe rather than just clearing the immediate obstruction.
My water heater is making a rumbling noise. What's causing it?
Rumbling usually means sediment has settled on the tank floor. As the burner heats water trapped beneath that layer, it pops and rumbles. Over time, sediment reduces heating efficiency and stresses the tank lining. A Roto-Rooter technician flushes the sediment, inspects the anode rod, and checks the pressure relief valve to restore safe, efficient operation.
How do I know if I have a hidden water leak behind my walls?
Hidden leaks often show up as unexplained spikes in your water bill, damp drywall, peeling paint, or a musty smell in rooms that should be dry. A Roto-Rooter technician uses moisture meters and visual inspection to trace the source without tearing out walls unnecessarily. Catching a hidden leak early prevents structural damage and mold growth. Call 931-359-2292 to schedule a leak detection visit.
My basement floor drain backed up during heavy rain. Is that a plumbing problem?
The floor drain is the lowest point in your home's drainage system, so it's the first place to back up when the main line is overwhelmed or partially blocked. The backup itself is a plumbing issue - not a structural one - and usually signals that the main line needs cleaning. A Roto-Rooter technician can clear the obstruction and run a camera to confirm the line is fully open.
Why does my toilet keep running after I flush it?
A running toilet almost always comes down to a worn flapper or a faulty fill valve. The flapper seals the tank after a flush; if it doesn't seat properly, water leaks continuously into the bowl. The fill valve controls refill - if it fails, the tank never stops filling. Both are straightforward repairs. A Roto-Rooter technician can diagnose and replace the worn component in a single visit.
