A cable auger cuts through or pulls out a blockage - hair, roots, grease - but leaves residue on the pipe wall. Hydro jetting uses a high-pressure water stream to scour the entire interior surface, removing calcified grease, mineral scale, and root debris that a cable cannot reach. Roto-Rooter technicians assess the line first, often with a camera, to determine which method fits the condition of the pipe.

When toilets, tubs, and sinks all back up simultaneously, the blockage is almost always in the main sewer line rather than at an individual fixture. Waste from every drain in the house flows through that single line to the city main, so a clog there affects everything at once. Roto-Rooter clears main line blockages with the Roto-Rooter Machine or hydro jetting and can run a camera to confirm the line is fully clear.

Roto-Rooter handles both repair and full repipe work. Galvanized steel pipes corrode from the inside as they age, narrowing the interior diameter and reducing water flow. Patching a single corroded section often just shifts the problem downstream. A Roto-Rooter technician assesses the condition of the system and can convert galvanized lines to copper or PEX, restoring full pressure and eliminating the ongoing leak risk.

Tree roots enter sewer laterals through hairline cracks at pipe joints, then expand as they absorb moisture inside the line. Over time they form a dense mass that catches waste and causes recurring backups. Roto-Rooter cuts through root intrusions with the Roto-Rooter Machine, and a camera inspection confirms whether the pipe wall itself is intact or needs repair to prevent roots from returning.

Yes. Roto-Rooter operates 24/7, 365 days a year, so a technician is available for burst pipes, severe backups, and other urgent plumbing situations regardless of the time or day. When a pipe fails, shutting off the main water supply limits the damage while help is on the way. Call 318-343-7819 any time to reach Roto-Rooter dispatch.

A running toilet usually needs a new flapper, fill valve, or float adjustment - straightforward repairs that stop water from running continuously into the bowl. While some homeowners handle these themselves, a misdiagnosed issue can waste hundreds of gallons before it's caught. A Roto-Rooter technician identifies the exact component causing the problem and replaces it correctly the first time.

The basement floor drain sits at the lowest point of the home's drainage system, so it's the first place a main line clog announces itself. When the main line is restricted, backed-up water finds the path of least resistance - straight up through the floor drain. Clearing the main line resolves the backup. A Roto-Rooter technician can also run a camera to check for a belly or partial collapse deeper in the line.

Kitchen drains clog from cooking grease that cools and solidifies on the pipe wall over time. A plunger or hand snake clears the immediate blockage but leaves the grease film behind, so the clog rebuilds quickly. Roto-Rooter's hydro jetting sends a high-pressure water jet through the line to scour the pipe wall clean, so the buildup doesn't return in a few weeks. Call 318-343-7819 to schedule service in West Monroe, LA.

Rumbling or popping from a water heater usually means sediment has settled on the tank floor. As the burner heats water trapped beneath that layer, it creates the noise. Flushing the tank removes the sediment and restores efficiency. A Roto-Rooter technician also inspects the anode rod, thermostat, and pressure relief valve to confirm the unit is operating safely.

Hidden leaks often show up as water stains on drywall, warped baseboards, or a water meter that keeps running when every fixture is off. A Roto-Rooter technician uses moisture meters and visual inspection to trace the leak to its source without unnecessary demolition. Catching a hidden leak early prevents structural damage from spreading. Call 318-343-7819 to schedule a leak detection visit.

Whole-house low pressure typically points to a failing pressure reducing valve, a partial shutoff on the supply line, or a slow leak somewhere in the system. A single fixture with low pressure usually means a clogged aerator or a localized supply issue. Roto-Rooter diagnoses the root cause rather than guessing, so the fix addresses the actual problem and pressure returns to a normal range.
