Frequently Asked Questions in Big Flats
How do I know if I have a hidden leak behind a wall or under the floor?
Common signs include unexplained increases in water usage, warm spots on the floor, damp drywall, or low pressure at fixtures with no obvious source. Hidden leaks at fixture connections, supply lines, or under a slab can go undetected for weeks. Roto-Rooter technicians use moisture meters and visual inspection to trace the leak path and pinpoint the source before opening walls unnecessarily.
What's causing the rumbling noise from my water heater?
That rumbling usually means sediment has settled on the tank floor. As the burner heats the water, it forces through the layer of mineral deposits, creating that knocking or rumbling sound. Left alone, the buildup reduces efficiency and shortens the tank's life. A Roto-Rooter technician flushes the sediment, inspects the anode rod, and checks the pressure relief valve to confirm the unit is operating safely.
Can I get a plumber out in the middle of the night if a pipe bursts?
Yes. Roto-Rooter dispatches technicians 24/7, 365 days a year, including nights, weekends, and holidays. A burst pipe can release a significant amount of water quickly, so the priority is reaching the main shutoff, then getting a technician on-site to assess the break and make the repair. Call 570-673-4400 any hour to reach Roto-Rooter dispatch in Big Flats, NY.
Why does my bathroom sink drain slowly even after I've used a store-bought drain cleaner?
Chemical drain cleaners dissolve some organic material but rarely clear the full clog, especially when hair and soap scum have bonded together just past the P-trap. The partial clearing gives temporary relief, then the remaining buildup catches new debris and the slow drain returns. A Roto-Rooter technician runs a hand auger through the line to pull the clog out entirely, rather than partially dissolving it.
My toilet backs up every time I run the shower - is that a drain clog or something worse?
When two fixtures interfere with each other like that, the blockage is almost certainly in the main sewer line, not in either fixture individually. A clog that far down the line affects everything upstream of it. Roto-Rooter uses a sewer camera to locate the exact point of the blockage - whether it's grease buildup, a root intrusion, or a collapsed section - then clears it with an auger or hydro jetting.
