Frequently Asked Questions in San Angelo
How can tree roots get into my drain pipes, and how are they removed?
Tree roots seek moisture and can enter sewer laterals through hairline cracks at pipe joints, especially in older clay or cast iron lines. Once inside, roots expand and catch debris, causing recurring clogs. Roto-Rooter cuts through root intrusion with the Roto-Rooter Machine, which is designed specifically for this job. A follow-up camera inspection confirms whether the pipe wall itself has been compromised.
Why does my bathroom drain clog so often even though I use a drain cover?
Drain covers catch large debris but fine hair strands still pass through and bind with soap scum just past the P-trap. That combination forms a dense, sticky mass that tightens with every shower. Roto-Rooter clears the buildup with an auger and can follow up with hydro jetting if the clog has extended further into the branch line, restoring full flow and slowing the buildup cycle.
How does a sewer camera inspection work, and when do I need one?
A sewer camera is a waterproof lens mounted on a flexible cable that feeds through your drain line. The technician watches live footage to locate blockages, pipe bellies, joint cracks, and root intrusion. It's the most reliable way to diagnose a recurring backup or confirm the condition of a line before you buy or renovate a home. Roto-Rooter uses camera inspection to pinpoint the exact problem before recommending a fix.
What causes low water pressure throughout the whole house?
Whole-house low pressure points to a problem upstream of your fixtures - a partially closed main shutoff, a failing pressure reducing valve, or a leak somewhere in the supply line that's bleeding off pressure before it reaches your taps. A Roto-Rooter technician checks the PRV setting, inspects shutoff valves, and traces the supply line to identify where pressure is being lost.
My toilet keeps running after I flush - is that something I should fix right away?
A constantly running toilet wastes a significant amount of water and drives up your utility bill. The cause is usually a worn flapper that no longer seals the flush valve, or a fill valve that can't shut off properly. Both are straightforward repairs. A Roto-Rooter technician diagnoses which component has failed and replaces it so the tank fills and stops as it should.
My water heater is making a rumbling noise - what's causing that?
That rumbling is almost always sediment - mineral deposits that settle on the tank floor and get superheated during each cycle. Over time, sediment reduces heating efficiency and strains the tank wall. A Roto-Rooter technician flushes the sediment, inspects the anode rod for corrosion, and checks the pressure relief valve to make sure the heater is running safely and efficiently.
Is my basement floor drain something I need to maintain, or only worry about when it backs up?
The basement floor drain is the lowest point in your home's drainage system, so it's the first place a main line clog reveals itself - water rises up and out before it can go anywhere else. Keeping the drain clear and the P-trap filled with water (to block sewer gas) are simple maintenance steps. If it backs up, that's a signal to call Roto-Rooter immediately, because the main line is likely involved.
What's the difference between a regular drain snaking and hydro jetting?
A cable auger punches through a blockage and restores flow, but it leaves grease and scale coating the pipe wall. Hydro jetting sends a high-pressure water stream through the line, scrubbing the walls clean of calcified grease, mineral buildup, and root debris. For drains that clog repeatedly, hydro jetting addresses the buildup that causes the cycle, not just the immediate obstruction.
How do I know if I have a hidden water leak behind my walls?
Hidden leaks often show up as unexplained spikes in your water bill, soft spots on drywall, musty odors, or discoloration on ceilings and floors. A Roto-Rooter technician uses moisture meters and visual inspection to trace the source without unnecessary demolition. Catching a hidden leak early prevents structural damage and mold growth. Call 325-658-2665 to schedule a diagnostic visit.
Can Roto-Rooter come out in the middle of the night for a plumbing emergency?
Yes. Roto-Rooter dispatches technicians 24/7, 365 days a year - nights, weekends, and holidays included. A burst pipe or severe sewer backup can't wait until morning without causing serious water damage. Call 325-658-2665 any time for emergency plumbing or drain service in San Angelo, TX, and a technician will be dispatched to your address.
When multiple fixtures are backing up at the same time, what does that mean?
When toilets gurgle while a washing machine drains, or a shower backs up when you run the kitchen sink, the blockage is almost certainly in the main sewer line rather than any individual fixture. That main line carries waste from every drain in the house to the city connection. Roto-Rooter clears main line blockages with heavy-duty augering equipment built specifically for that job.
