Whole-house low pressure usually points to a failing pressure reducing valve, a partially closed shutoff valve, or a leak somewhere in the supply line. A single fixture with low pressure is more likely a clogged aerator or a localized issue. Roto-Rooter technicians diagnose the pressure drop at multiple points to isolate whether the cause is at the valve, the meter, or deeper in the line.

Yes. Galvanized steel corrodes from the inside out, and that rust buildup narrows the pipe's interior diameter over decades. The result is chronically low pressure, discolored water, and eventually pinhole leaks. Roto-Rooter technicians assess the extent of the corrosion and can repipe affected sections using copper or PEX, which doesn't corrode and restores full flow.

When toilets, tubs, and sinks all back up together, the blockage is almost never at an individual fixture - it's in the main sewer line between your home and the street. Tree roots, grease accumulation, or a collapsed section can all cause this. Roto-Rooter technicians run a sewer camera to locate the exact problem and then clear it with the Roto-Rooter Machine or hydro jetting depending on what the camera reveals.

Kitchen drains clog from cooking grease that cools and solidifies on the pipe wall. Liquid drain cleaner dissolves the soft center of the clog but leaves the grease coating behind, so the blockage rebuilds quickly. Roto-Rooter's hydro jetting sends high-pressure water through the line to scour the pipe wall clean, removing the buildup that cable augers and chemical products can't fully reach.

A sewer camera is a small waterproof camera fed through the drain line on a flexible cable. It transmits live video of the pipe interior, showing roots growing through joints, cracks, bellies where the line has sagged, grease buildup, and collapsed sections. This lets Roto-Rooter technicians confirm the cause of a recurring backup and choose the right repair method rather than guessing based on symptoms alone.

Roots follow moisture and enter drain lines through hairline cracks at pipe joints, especially in older clay or cast iron laterals. Once inside, they expand and eventually block flow entirely. The Roto-Rooter Machine uses a rotating cutting head to break up root masses and restore flow. For severe intrusion, hydro jetting follows to flush debris. A camera inspection confirms whether the pipe wall is still intact after clearing.

Hidden leaks often show up as water stains on drywall, a musty smell, or an unexplained spike in your water bill before you ever see standing water. A Roto-Rooter technician uses moisture meters and visual inspection to trace the leak to its source without unnecessary demolition. Finding it early prevents structural damage that gets far more expensive over time.

A constantly running toilet wastes a significant amount of water and usually means the flapper is worn, the fill valve is failing, or the float is set too high. These are straightforward fixes, but the right part depends on the toilet model and what the internal inspection reveals. A Roto-Rooter technician can diagnose and replace the faulty component so the toilet seals and fills correctly.

That rumbling usually means sediment has settled on the tank floor. As the burner heats the water, it has to push through that layer, causing the noise and reducing efficiency. Flushing the tank can help if caught early. Roto-Rooter technicians also inspect the anode rod, thermostat, and pressure relief valve to determine whether a flush resolves the problem or a replacement is the smarter call.
