I received a call an hour before the appointment time saying service could be started a half hour earlier than scheduled if I was available. The replacement of the water ... heater and the preliminary water damage mitigation was done in 4 hours. All the sevice people were helpful and very efficient. The rest of the mitigation will be done after everything dries out.

The gentlemen that helped today were very polite, tidy, and informative. They let me know ahead of time what they thought was needed and informed me whenever they found something ... (either to show me what caused the issue or what to be aware of in the future). The quote was spot on for the service with no surprises. They even took the time to write extra notes on the receipt since I was having the service done on behalf of my landlord. Highly recommend.

I called Roto-Rooter, at 2:15pm on 3/4/19 I spoke to Matthew, and explained my problem to him. Matthew assured me that between 2:15 and 4:30pm he would have someone at ... my house. Around 3:15 Orlando, and Rafael backed into my driveway. We met at my front door, came inside. I explained what had happened. Orlando, took one look in my bathroom, and right away he wanted to go into my basement. The both of them assessed the situation and wasted no time going to work. They also did a great job cleaning up after themselves. They solved my clogged pipes problem. VERY, VERY, PROFICIENT!!! I would recommend, Orlando, or Rafael. Thanks guys. You're Awesome!!!#689

The technician, Jimmy 2506, did a fantastic job. He was competent, quick, courteous, and very personable. On our initial appointment a week ago, he went above and beyond to help ... with me with my situation. I requested him to come back today (when access could be granted to my neighbors unit) and he was able to diagnose the problem quickly and provide detailed explanations to both myself and my neighbor. If I ever have another plumbing issue I will certainly request Jimmy. I don't know if you get to read these Jimmy, but thanks buddy.

I wanted to share how knowledgeable, friendly, hardworking, and wonderful Orlando (#689) was in his service on January 10th, 2019. He's a true asset to your company!!! Fantastic service and ... experience with backed up drain further down pipe line. Technician, Orlando, came out and fixed the problem so quickly - it was fantastic. Best of all was Orlando. He was courteous, friendly, and explained everything to me that he was doing, as well as what the issue was once it was fixed. He also made sure the problem was solved before charging me and leaving. I couldn't have asked for better, same-day service or a better person to solve the problem!!

Yesterday morning when we went to the basement to do a load of laundry, we discovered our basement was full of sewage overflow. Roto-Rooter was there within hours to help ... us deal with the problem and the mess. Water Restoration Specialist Fernando DeOliveira is clearly a seasoned pro, walking us through not just the immediate need to deal with a blockage in the line, but what would be involved in clean-up, anticipating what our home-owners insurance company would be looking for in documentation, explaining clearly what the matter involved , what needed to be done to get things squared away and the choices we had in how to proceed. He, along with Mike and Chris, were efficient, professional and very reassuring. His customer orientation was evident from the moment that he walked in the door. I kind of hope never to see these fellows again, but should the need arise, I'd be digging out Fernando's business card in a heartbeat!

Frequently Asked Questions in New Haven

Does Roto-Rooter handle water heater replacement in New Haven?

Yes. Roto-Rooter installs and replaces all major water heater brands - tank and tankless - and ensures every installation meets Connecticut plumbing code. Our experienced plumbing technicians handle the complete installation, including removal of the old unit.

Does New Haven have hard water?

Some areas experience elevated mineral content in the water supply. Hard water leaves scale deposits on fixtures, reduces soap lathering, and builds sediment inside water heaters. Roto-Rooter installs water softener and filtration systems sized for New Haven homes.

What causes sewer line problems in New Haven?

Glacial till and clay soils shift with freeze-thaw cycles, pulling apart sewer pipe joints. Mature trees send roots into those gaps and grow until they block the line. Clay sewer laterals installed decades ago become brittle and crack under soil pressure. Roto-Rooter uses video camera inspection to pinpoint the problem.

Why do New Haven basements flood during heavy rain?

Clay soil retains moisture rather than allowing it to drain, directing groundwater against older foundations. During heavy rainfall and snowmelt, the water table rises above basement drainage capacity. Properties near the Mill River and Quinnipiac River face elevated risk. Roto-Rooter provides emergency water extraction and drainage assessment.

How do New Haven's winters affect residential plumbing?

Extended sub-freezing temperatures during nor'easters cause water inside uninsulated pipes to expand and crack pipe walls in basements, crawl spaces, and unheated sections of older buildings. When temperatures rise, cracked sections release water into walls and living spaces. Call Roto-Rooter at 203-679-0880 immediately if you suspect frozen pipes.
