Austin’s growing population and aging infrastructure often lead to urgent plumbing problems. Roto-Rooter’s licensed plumbers are ready 24/7 with fast, dependable service across neighborhoods like Tarrytown, East Austin, and Barton Hills.
Whether you’re dealing with an issue in a historic home or a busy tech office, we understand the demands of Austin’s plumbing systems. Count on our team for quick response times, transparent pricing, and quality work backed by decades of local experience. Call (512) 258-3008 when you need an emergency plumber in Austin.
Our drain cleaning services use either our proprietary electromechanical cleaning machines, or in the most severe cases, hydro-jetting, to clear tough clogs fast—whether in a home kitchen, restaurant, or commercial facility. We remove grease, sediment, and even invasive tree roots to restore proper flow. This is especially helpful in older Austin neighborhoods like Hyde Park and Travis Heights, where aging pipes and heavy tree cover cause frequent backups. Routine drain cleaning also helps prevent issues tied to the city’s clay soils and dense root systems, saving you from major disruptions down the line.
Reliable hot water keeps Austin homes and businesses running smoothly, but hard water minerals accelerate buildup that reduces efficiency, a challenge particularly noticeable in newer developments like Mueller and Avery Ranch. Our certified technicians provide expert water heater repair services and emergency water heater repair in Austin for both conventional gas and electric water heaters, as well as tankless systems. We help eco-conscious property owners maximize energy efficiency while addressing mineral deposits that affect Central Texas water heaters year-round.
We use trenchless sewer line repair to fix underground pipe damage without digging up your yard or disrupting your business. This non-invasive method is ideal for Austin properties, where shifting clay soil and deep tree roots often lead to cracked or clogged pipelines; especially in older areas like Barton Hills and Allandale. Our advanced camera inspections catch problems early, helping homeowners and commercial sites avoid backups, flooding, and costly repairs. It’s a long-term solution built for Austin’s unique soil and weather conditions.
No matter the issue, we deliver fast, reliable plumbing support backed by decades of trusted service in Austin.

We had just moved into a new home and had our main sewer line clog at 10:00pm. With a house full of people and sewer water leaking on the floor, ... we tried calling the emergency number for our builders plumber but noone answered. We called Roto-Rooter and you had someone here within 1 hour and the problem was resolved within 30 minutes. Our new address was not on any maps or GPS and the technician was very patient on the phone as I gave him directions. Our technician, Eli, was very polite and friendly. He explained the situation and promptly unclogged our main drain. He also gave some advice on what to keep an eye out for in the future. He is a great asset to your company. Overall I would highly recommend Roto-Rooter and wont hesitate to call you again if the need arises. Thanks for the great service.
We thank the workers for being so efficient.

Your plumber arrived when indicated and completed the jobs needed promptly. He was a very pleasant and friendly young man. I previously used a different plumbing ... company because of the service I received from the same plumber time and again. I was looking for another company that I felt was reliable and had competent staff. I found that company. Thank you for having a great young man (Mr. Rivera -1390) who knows his profession.
Service was prompt and very thorough. I was provided helpful tips on how to keep drain clear.
Rafael Q.
Very professional, courteous, & fast. Thanks.
I was reluctant to call another plumbing company because I called 3 of them in a month and still I have no solution to my problem at home. The gentleman from ... Roto-Rooter came took the time to examine the area, heard all what I have to said about the issue. After he finished doing his work he explained to me what need to be next. He took the time, for us to understand, the damaged we have in place. I really recommend Roto Rooter, the service I received was beyond expectation.

Justin Weeks came out and took care of me. He gave me plenty of options AND advice as to what I needed to take care of now and future planning. ... While I was happy with how he treated me and the finished job.... I had called in the day before, prior to 7am and was told that someone would be out between 12-4. I was called at 3:15pm and was told that they were running late and I told them I still wanted someone to come out. Around 6:30 I called back and was told they would be out, still late. At 8pm I received a call that it would have to be the next day. I get that stuff happens - but I missed a half day of work to be home for repairs.
Mario did a great job!
Jill K.
I had my water heater go out one morning and Roto-Rooter was able to come out the same day for repair(s). The technician, Lenny, was amazing! He was ... on-time, courteous, articulate, and very knowledgeable. The parts that were needed were located +20 miles away from my home and Lenny gladly offered to go pick-up the parts...during rush hour! I doubt many people would have been thrilled to do something like that at that particular hour, but Lenny didn't seem to mind it and was more than willing to do it. Now, everything is up and running smoothly. All-in-all, my experience with RR was spectacular! I hope I won't need to call them again, but if any plumbing issues arise in the future, I definitely won't hesitate to call them again.

Patrick did a great job repairing my toilets and sinks. I asked him to get me a new faucet and had only a vague idea of what I wanted. ... He made a great decision, and I'm so happy with it. He is extremely courteous and treated me, my 2 dogs, and my home very respectfully. I would definitely recommend him to my friends!!!!!

Austin's expansive clay soil and hot Texas climate contribute to several recurring plumbing problems. Knowing what to watch for helps homeowners catch issues before they escalate.
Expansive clay soil affects slab foundations throughout Austin. Slab foundations make leak detection critical, since hidden leaks beneath the slab can cause significant structural damage.
