Frequently Asked Questions in Van Meter
How do I know if my home needs a water softener?
Hard water leaves white mineral deposits on faucets, causes soap to lather poorly, and can shorten water heater life by coating the heating element. Roto-Rooter tests your water hardness on-site, explains the results in plain terms, and installs a properly sized water softener that reduces scale buildup throughout your plumbing system.
My toilet keeps running all night even after I jiggle the handle. What is causing that?
A running toilet usually means the flapper seal inside the tank has worn out or the fill valve is malfunctioning. Water keeps flowing because the tank never reaches the shutoff point. Roto-Rooter's plumbers inspect both the flapper and fill valve, replace faulty components, and confirm the shutoff is working correctly before leaving so water is not wasted overnight.
What is the difference between snaking a drain and hydro jetting?
A drain snake punches through the blockage to restore flow but leaves residue on pipe walls that lets clogs rebuild quickly. Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water to scour the entire interior surface clean. Roto-Rooter evaluates which method fits your pipe material and clog severity, then performs the appropriate service so the drain stays clear longer.
Can someone come out to fix a burst pipe at two in the morning?
Yes. Roto-Rooter operates around the clock every day of the year, including nights, weekends, and holidays. When you call 515-278-5668, a dispatcher connects you with a technician who can respond immediately to shut off the water source, repair or replace the damaged section, and prevent further interior damage before morning.
My septic alarm is beeping. Should I call right away or can it wait?
A septic alarm signals that the tank or pump compartment has reached an abnormal level, which can back up into the home if ignored. It should not wait. Call 515-278-5668 to reach Roto-Rooter in Van Meter, IA and a technician will assess the panel, inspect the pump and float switch, and restore normal operation before sewage backs up into the drain field or interior fixtures.
