Frequently Asked Questions in Shiloh

My water pressure suddenly dropped in the whole house - what should I check?

Whole-house pressure drops usually point to a supply line issue, a failing pressure reducing valve, or a hidden leak pulling flow away from your fixtures. A pressure reducing valve regulates incoming municipal pressure to a safe household range, and when it fails, pressure can drop - or spike - without warning. A Roto-Rooter technician tests the PRV, checks shutoff valves, and inspects supply lines to pinpoint the cause.

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, including nights, weekends, and holidays. A burst pipe or a main line backup that's flooding a floor can't wait until morning. Call 717-751-4447 any time and a technician will be dispatched to assess and stop the problem.

How does a sewer camera inspection work, and do I actually need one?

A technician feeds a waterproof camera through a drain cleanout and watches the live feed on a monitor. The camera reveals blockages, pipe bellies, cracks, and root intrusion that can't be diagnosed any other way. If you're dealing with a recurring backup or buying an older home, a camera inspection removes the guesswork and tells you exactly what fix the line needs - rather than clearing the same clog repeatedly.

My basement floor drain is backing up - is that a serious problem?

A basement floor drain sits at the lowest point of the home's drainage system, so it's the first to back up when the main sewer line is compromised. Water pushing up through that drain is a sign the blockage is significant and downstream from the house. Roto-Rooter clears the main line and inspects the floor drain trap to make sure the drain is flowing freely and the trap seal is intact.

What's the difference between augering and hydro jetting, and which one do I need?

Augering uses a rotating cable to cut through or pull out a blockage - effective for hair clogs, solid obstructions, and root intrusion. Hydro jetting sends a high-pressure water stream through the pipe to scour the walls, removing calcified grease, mineral scale, and fine root debris that a cable leaves behind. A Roto-Rooter technician assesses the drain condition and recommends the method that clears the line completely rather than just opening a temporary path.

Is a running toilet really worth fixing, or can I just ignore it?

A running toilet wastes a significant amount of water continuously and will raise your utility bill. The most common cause is a worn flapper that no longer seals the flush valve, or a fill valve that doesn't shut off correctly. Both are straightforward repairs. Roto-Rooter diagnoses which component has failed and replaces it, stopping the waste and restoring a proper flush cycle.

Why does my kitchen drain keep clogging even after I've cleared it myself?

Kitchen drains clog from cooking grease that cools and solidifies on the pipe wall. A hand auger punches through the immediate blockage but leaves the grease layer intact, so buildup returns quickly. Roto-Rooter's hydro jetting scours the pipe wall with high-pressure water, removing calcified grease and food solids so the clog doesn't rebuild within weeks. Call 717-751-4447 to schedule service in Shiloh, PA.

How do I know if I have a hidden water leak behind my walls?

Hidden leaks often show up as damp drywall, peeling paint, a musty smell, or a water meter that keeps running when every fixture is off. Roto-Rooter technicians use moisture meters and visual inspection to trace the source without tearing out large sections of wall. Catching a leak early prevents structural damage and keeps repair costs manageable. Call 717-751-4447 to schedule a leak detection visit.

What does it mean when my toilet backs up while someone is running the shower?

When two fixtures affect each other like that, the blockage is almost always in the main sewer line, not the individual fixture. The main line carries waste from every drain in the house, so a clog there backs up whatever fixture is lowest first. Roto-Rooter clears main line blockages with a cable auger or hydro jetting and can run a sewer camera to confirm the line is fully clear.

My water heater is making a rumbling noise - what's causing that?

Rumbling usually means sediment has settled on the tank floor. Over time, minerals from the water supply collect at the bottom, and the burner has to heat through that layer, creating noise and reducing efficiency. A Roto-Rooter technician flushes the sediment, inspects the anode rod, and checks the pressure relief valve to confirm the heater is operating safely.

Can tree roots really get into my drain pipes?

Yes. Roots enter through hairline cracks at pipe joints - especially in older clay or cast iron sewer laterals - and expand as they absorb moisture from inside the pipe. Over time they form a dense mat that catches debris and causes recurring backups. Roto-Rooter's Roto-Rooter Machine cuts through root intrusion, and a camera inspection afterward shows the extent of the damage and whether the pipe needs further attention.
