Frequently Asked Questions in Prairieville
My refrigerator ice maker line is leaking behind the fridge - is that a plumbing job?
A failed or loose ice maker supply line is a plumbing connection, and a slow drip behind the refrigerator can go unnoticed long enough to damage the subfloor. Roto-Rooter technicians repair or replace the supply line, inspect the shutoff valve feeding it, and confirm the connection is leak-free. Call 225-925-8710 to schedule service in Prairieville, LA.
Can a slow-draining bathroom sink fix itself over time?
Bathroom sink drains slow down because hair and soap scum bind together just past the P-trap. That buildup does not dissolve on its own - it collects more debris over time until the drain stops completely. Liquid drain cleaners soften the clog temporarily but rarely clear it fully. A Roto-Rooter technician removes the blockage mechanically and checks the P-trap for any damage before finishing.
When toilets and tubs back up at the same time, is that a different problem than a single clogged drain?
Multiple fixtures backing up simultaneously almost always means the blockage is in the main sewer line, not in any individual branch. When the main line is blocked, wastewater from one fixture has nowhere to go and surfaces at the lowest available drain. Roto-Rooter addresses main line backups with the Roto-Rooter Machine or hydro jetting, followed by a camera inspection to confirm the line is fully clear.
My water heater is making a rumbling noise - what's causing it?
Rumbling usually means sediment has settled on the tank floor. As the burner heats water trapped beneath that layer, it pops and rumbles. Left alone, sediment reduces efficiency and accelerates corrosion of the tank wall. A Roto-Rooter technician flushes the sediment, inspects the anode rod, and checks the pressure relief valve to confirm the unit is still operating safely.
How do I know if I have a hidden water leak inside a wall?
Hidden leaks often show up as soft spots on drywall, unexplained spikes in your water bill, or a musty smell with no visible source. A Roto-Rooter technician uses moisture meters and visual inspection to trace the leak path without tearing out large sections of wall. Catching it early prevents structural damage from spreading. Call 225-925-8710 to schedule a leak detection visit.
My kitchen drain slows down every few months even after I clear it myself. Why does it keep coming back?
Kitchen drains clog from cooking grease that cools and solidifies on the pipe wall in layers. A hand auger punches through the soft center of the clog but leaves the grease coating behind, so buildup resumes quickly. Roto-Rooter's hydro jetting uses high-pressure water to scour the pipe wall and remove the accumulated grease and food solids that cause the cycle to repeat.
Is a plumber available if my pipe bursts late at night or on a weekend?
Roto-Rooter operates 24/7, 365 days a year, so a burst pipe at midnight or on a holiday gets the same response as a call placed on a Tuesday morning. Shut off the main water supply at the house shutoff valve to limit damage, then call 225-925-8710. A technician will diagnose the break, repair or replace the damaged section, and restore water to the home.
Why does my toilet keep running even after I jiggle the handle?
A running toilet almost always needs a new flapper or fill valve. The flapper seals the tank-to-bowl opening - when it warps or wears, water trickles continuously into the bowl and the fill valve keeps refilling. Jiggling the handle temporarily reseats the flapper, but the seal is still compromised. Roto-Rooter replaces the faulty component and tests the flush cycle before leaving.
What does a sewer camera inspection actually show?
A sewer camera is a waterproof camera mounted on a flexible cable that travels through the drain line in real time. It reveals blockages, root intrusion, pipe bellies where water pools, cracked or collapsed sections, and offset joints. Roto-Rooter technicians use camera inspection to pinpoint exactly where a problem is before recommending a repair method, which avoids unnecessary digging or guesswork.
What happens when tree roots get into my sewer line?
Roots enter drain lines through hairline cracks at pipe joints, then expand as they absorb moisture. Over time they form a dense mat that catches tissue and grease, causing recurring backups. The Roto-Rooter Machine cuts through root intrusion mechanically. For heavier infestations, hydro jetting follows to scour the pipe wall. A sewer camera confirms the line is clear before the job closes.
Can you fix low water pressure throughout the whole house?
Whole-house low pressure typically points to a failing pressure reducing valve, a partial shutoff somewhere on the supply line, or a developing leak pulling pressure away from fixtures. Roto-Rooter technicians test pressure at multiple points to isolate the cause, then repair or replace the faulty component. A single fixture with low pressure usually signals a clogged aerator or supply stop instead.
