Hydro jetting sends a high-pressure water stream through the pipe to scour the walls clean, removing calcified grease, mineral scale, and root debris that a cable auger cuts through but leaves behind. A cable auger opens a path; hydro jetting restores the pipe's full diameter. Roto-Rooter recommends hydro jetting when the same drain clogs repeatedly or when a camera inspection shows heavy buildup.

A running toilet wastes a significant amount of water every day and should not be ignored. The cause is almost always a worn flapper that no longer seals the flush valve, or a fill valve that fails to shut off at the correct water level. Roto-Rooter technicians diagnose which component has failed and replace it quickly to stop the waste.

The basement floor drain sits at the lowest point in the home's drainage system, so it is the first place water surfaces when the main line cannot handle the volume. Running the washing machine sends a large surge of water through the line, exposing a partial blockage that slower-flowing fixtures do not reveal. Roto-Rooter clears the main line obstruction to stop the backup at its source.

Roto-Rooter dispatches technicians 24/7, 365 days a year, including nights, weekends, and holidays. A burst pipe does not wait for business hours, and neither does Roto-Rooter. Call 509-783-7311 to reach dispatch for Kennewick, WA - a technician will be sent to locate the break, shut off the water, and complete the repair.

Yes. Roots enter sewer laterals through hairline cracks at pipe joints, then expand as they absorb moisture, eventually causing recurring backups. Signs include slow drains in multiple fixtures and gurgling sounds in the toilet. Roto-Rooter uses a sewer camera to confirm root intrusion and its location, then clears the roots with an auger or hydro jetting depending on severity.

When toilets, tubs, and sinks back up simultaneously, the blockage is almost certainly in the main sewer line between the house and the city connection, not in any individual fixture. A Roto-Rooter technician confirms this with a camera inspection, then clears the main line blockage with the Roto-Rooter Machine or hydro jetting to restore drainage to every fixture at once.

Rumbling typically 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 wall. A Roto-Rooter technician flushes the sediment, inspects the anode rod, and checks the pressure relief valve to restore safe, efficient operation.

Galvanized steel corrodes from the inside out, gradually narrowing the pipe interior and causing recurring leaks at multiple points. When patches become a regular expense or water runs discolored, a full repipe to copper or PEX is usually the more cost-effective path. Roto-Rooter technicians assess the pipe condition and walk you through the repipe process before any work begins.

Whole-house low pressure usually points to a failing pressure reducing valve, a partially closed main shutoff, or a supply-side leak losing volume before it reaches your fixtures. A Roto-Rooter technician tests incoming pressure, inspects the PRV, and traces the supply line to identify where pressure is dropping so the right repair gets made the first time.

Hidden leaks often show up as soft drywall, a musty smell, or an unexplained spike in your water bill before any visible water appears. A Roto-Rooter technician uses moisture meters and visual inspection to trace the leak source behind walls and under floors without unnecessary demolition. Finding the leak early limits the damage and the repair scope.
