An auger - or snake - cuts through a clog mechanically, which clears the blockage but leaves residue coating the pipe wall. Hydro jetting uses a high-pressure water stream to scour the entire interior surface of the pipe, removing calcified grease, mineral scale, and root debris that an auger misses. It is more thorough and the results last longer. Roto-Rooter recommends hydro jetting for recurring clogs or main lines with significant buildup.

When two fixtures interfere with each other like that, the blockage is almost always in the main sewer line, not the individual fixtures. Waste from the washing machine hits the main line and has nowhere to go, so it pushes back up through the nearest drain - often the toilet. Roto-Rooter uses a sewer camera to pinpoint the blockage, then clears it with an auger or hydro jetting depending on what the camera shows.

Yes. Roto-Rooter dispatches technicians 24/7, 365 days a year, so a burst pipe at 2 a.m. gets the same response as a call placed during business hours. Shut off the main water supply valve first to limit damage, then call 559-625-2711. A technician will locate the break, repair or replace the damaged section, and check surrounding pipe for additional stress points before leaving.

Most septic tanks need pumping every three to five years. Solids accumulate in two layers - sludge at the bottom and scum at the top - and when those layers build up too far, they reach the outlet pipe and push into the drainfield. Once solids clog the drainfield soil, repairs become far more involved than a routine pump-out. A Roto-Rooter technician can assess your tank's current levels and recommend a pumping schedule.

Rumbling usually means sediment has settled on the tank floor. As the burner fires, water trapped beneath the sediment layer superheats and forces its way through - creating that rumbling or popping sound. Over time, sediment reduces heating efficiency and accelerates corrosion of the tank wall. A Roto-Rooter technician flushes the tank, inspects the anode rod, and checks the pressure relief valve to determine whether the unit can be restored or needs replacement.
