Frequently Asked Questions in Geneva
My basement floor drain backs up whenever it rains heavily. What is causing that?
A basement floor drain sits at the lowest point in the home's drainage system, so it is the first place a main line backup shows up. Heavy rain can saturate the ground and push water back through the drain, but a partial blockage in the main line can make the problem much worse. Roto-Rooter clears the main line and uses a camera to check for root intrusion or a belly in the pipe that traps water and debris.
Can tree roots really get into my drain pipes, and how does Roto-Rooter handle that?
Roots enter sewer laterals through hairline cracks at pipe joints, especially in older clay or cast iron lines. Once inside, they absorb moisture and expand, eventually causing recurring clogs or a full blockage. The Roto-Rooter Machine cuts through root masses to restore flow. A camera inspection follows to assess how far the intrusion extends and whether the pipe joints need further attention to prevent roots from returning.
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 volume affect that interval. Sludge and scum accumulate at the bottom and top of the tank over time. Once those layers 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 each service call to measure sludge depth and advise on the right pumping schedule.
What is hydro jetting and is it better than snaking a drain?
A cable auger punches through a clog but leaves grease and scale coating the pipe wall, so buildup returns quickly. Hydro jetting sends a high-pressure water stream through the pipe, scouring the walls clean of calcified grease, mineral scale, and root debris. It is the more thorough option for drains that clog repeatedly. Roto-Rooter assesses the line condition first - a camera inspection confirms the pipe can handle the pressure before jetting begins.
How do I know if my main sewer line is clogged and not just one fixture?
When multiple fixtures back up at the same time - toilets gurgling while a sink drains slowly, or a tub filling with water when the washing machine runs - the blockage is almost always in the main sewer line, not an individual fixture. A Roto-Rooter technician uses a sewer camera to confirm the location and cause, then clears the line with an auger or hydro jetting depending on what the camera reveals.
