Frequently Asked Questions in Malvern
Is it worth connecting a new appliance like a dishwasher or ice maker myself, or should I call a plumber?
Appliance water line connections are deceptively simple to install incorrectly. A misaligned compression fitting or a kinked supply line on an ice maker can leak slowly behind the refrigerator for weeks before showing. Roto-Rooter technicians make the connection correctly, test for leaks at the fitting, and verify shutoff valve function so the line is secure from the start.
Why does my toilet keep running after I flush it?
A running toilet almost always comes down to a worn flapper that no longer seals the flush valve, or a fill valve that can't shut off correctly. Either problem lets water flow continuously from the tank into the bowl. A Roto-Rooter technician diagnoses which component has failed and replaces it, stopping the water waste and the noise.
My basement floor drain is backing up. Is that a serious problem?
A basement floor drain is the lowest point in the home's drainage system, so it backs up first when the main sewer line is compromised. Ignoring it risks sewage reaching the floor. Roto-Rooter clears the main line blockage and uses a camera to confirm there's no structural issue - a collapsed section or belly in the line - that would cause the problem to return.
How do tree roots get into drain pipes, and can they be removed?
Roots enter through hairline cracks at pipe joints, especially in older clay or cast iron sewer laterals. Once inside, they absorb moisture from the pipe and expand, eventually causing a full blockage. The Roto-Rooter Machine is specifically designed to cut through root intrusion. After clearing, a sewer camera inspection shows whether the pipe wall itself is intact or needs repair.
How often should kitchen drains be professionally cleaned?
Kitchen drains clog from cooking grease that cools and solidifies on the pipe wall, layering gradually over months. How quickly buildup accumulates depends on cooking habits and pipe diameter. Most households benefit from professional cleaning every one to two years. Roto-Rooter can clear existing buildup and advise on whether hydro jetting or routine augering is the right approach for your drain configuration.
When multiple drains back up at the same time, what does that mean?
When a toilet backs up while the shower runs, or two fixtures slow down together, the blockage is almost certainly in the main sewer line rather than an individual fixture's drain. A Roto-Rooter technician confirms the location with a sewer camera, then clears the main line with an auger or hydro jetting, restoring flow to every fixture in the house.
What causes low water pressure throughout the whole house?
Whole-house low pressure typically points to a partially closed main shutoff valve, a failing pressure reducing valve, or a supply-side leak bleeding pressure before water reaches the fixtures. Roto-Rooter technicians test pressure at multiple points to isolate the cause - checking the PRV setting, inspecting supply lines, and tracing any loss between the meter and the home's interior.
My water heater is making a rumbling noise. What's causing it?
Rumbling almost always points to sediment that has settled on the tank floor. As the burner heats water trapped beneath that layer, it percolates and creates the noise. Over time, sediment reduces efficiency and shortens tank life. Roto-Rooter technicians flush the tank, inspect the anode rod, and test the pressure relief valve to restore safe, efficient operation.
What's the difference between a plumber snaking a drain and hydro jetting it?
A cable auger punches through the blockage but leaves residue coating the pipe wall. Hydro jetting sends a high-pressure water stream that scours the entire interior surface, removing calcified grease, mineral scale, and root debris that a cable cannot reach. For drains that clog repeatedly, Roto-Rooter recommends hydro jetting to address the buildup, not just the immediate clog.
Can you come out in the middle of the night if a pipe bursts?
Yes. Roto-Rooter dispatches technicians 24/7, 365 days a year, including overnight, weekends, and holidays. A burst pipe can release a significant volume of water quickly, so shutting off the main valve and calling immediately limits the damage. Reach Roto-Rooter at 501-760-7660 in Malvern, AR any time a plumbing emergency can't wait until morning.
How do I know if I have a hidden water leak inside my walls?
Hidden leaks often show up as damp drywall, peeling paint, a musty smell, or an unexplained spike in your water bill. The pipe itself may be pinhole-corroded or cracked at a fitting. A Roto-Rooter technician uses moisture meters and visual inspection to trace the source without unnecessary demolition, then repairs the line before the damage spreads. Call 501-760-7660 to schedule a leak assessment.
