Trusted and Reliable Plumber in Houston, TX

Comprehensive Plumbing Solutions in Houston

Houston plumbing faces unique challenges due to the local climate and infrastructure. Heavy rainfall and hurricane storm surges can lead to sewer backups and flooding. Local “gumbo” clay soil expands and contracts with moisture changes, resulting in misaligned, cracked, or collapsed underground pipes. Older buildings may still use galvanized or cast iron pipes, which corrode, rust, and leak over time. Roto-Rooter’s skilled Houston plumbing technicians tailor their services to meet and resolve local plumbing issues.

Water Heater Repairs and Installations

Water heater repairs are among the top reasons people call plumbers in Houston, TX. The average lifespan of a conventional water heater is 11 years, with tankless models lasting about two decades. Make sure you’re scheduling regular water heater maintenance.

If You Notice Any of These Warning Signs, Give Us a Call:

• Reduced Hot Water Supply: May indicate sediment buildup, a faulty heating element, or a leak.
• Pools of Water Around the Tank Base: A sign of a serious issue, including a possible hole in the tank.
• Temperature and Pressure Relief Valve Ejecting Water: Indicates high pressure or temperature and requires immediate attention.
• Strange Noises: Suggest sediment buildup, a faulty heating element, or a leak.
• Discolored Hot Water: Rust or contaminants may be affecting your water quality.

Water Softener and Filtration

Houston has hard water. Minerals in hard water accumulate in water pipes and appliances, reducing water flow and causing damage. Hard water used for bathing dries skin and leaves hair looking limp. Roto-Rooter installs and services water softeners that alleviate the damaging qualities of hard water.

Types of Water Softeners

• Salt-based water softeners
• Salt-free water softeners
• Dual-tank water softeners
• Anti-scale devices

Houston’s water supply comes from Lake Conroe, Lake Houston, and Lake Livingston. Local water meets EPA safety standards but may contain trace amounts of lead, chlorine, disinfection products, and carcinogenic PFAS. Algae blooms can give water a musty, earthy flavor. A water filtration system helps ensure your home or business's best possible water quality.

Types of filtration systems

• Activated carbon
• Ion exchange
• Reverse osmosis
• Mechanical
• Ultraviolet
