Paul was timely and very professional. He is someone who impressed us by his strong sense of responsibility. We want to make him our 'go-to' plumber.
Very professional Technican
The technician arrived on time and quickly assessed what was needed to stop the water leak. The repair was made and work was completed in one hour. Another ... plumber had told me that the area the leak was in would need to be excavated which was incorrect. He recommended another plumber which could not be on site for three days which was no help at all since we had no running water. Next time I won't bother with them I will just call Roto-Rooter.
The service man was at my door within 15 minutes of my calling Roto-Rooter. He said he was in the neighborhood when he got the call, and came right ... over. He was very knowledgeable and helpful. I would recommend him and Roto-Rooter.

Today I had a visit from Rotor-Rooter Plumber George Hinojosa for an estimate on a plumbing problem with my toilet. I was researching several companies trying to find something within ... my budget. George was very informative and told me exactly what was needed. However his bid was much higher than some others I had already called. I let him know what those were and he said that he could offer a ${esc.dollar}40 discount. That was still too high a bid. I was expecting another company to come give an estimate. So I thanked George and let him know that I would ask for him if I decided to go with his company. He called me back 20 min later with an awesome new bid that beat the other guys. So I said OK! He was back right away. Finished up in less than 2 hours and had everything I wanted done- working perfectly and within my budget! Thanks to George I now have all my issues resolved and am extremely happy with the work done. I would definitely call and ask for him again whenever a plumbing issue occurs. You Rock George!!! Keep up the good work and awesome people skills. Thanks, Stephanie Megerle

We thought we had a leak under our house because there was a big puddle on the side of our house. We called Roto-Rooter. The person who took the service ... call was very polite and professional and said they would send someone out right away. They arrived within 30 minutes. George (tech 1191) and Jaime were very polite and professional and got to investigating the problem right away. With in a few minutes they were able to determine that it was not our leak at all but our neighbors. They did not charge us for the call which was on a holiday and told us to notify SAWS about the leak. We were very pleased with the service we received.

Roto-Rooter is the best! This was my first time using Roto-Rooter at 9:00 p.m. at night when my water heater expansion tank had two pin holes in it and was ... spraying out water all over my garage. We tried everything to stop the water from spraying but it continued until we shut off the main water supply for the entire house. Roto-Rooter sent out a very professional technician (Jeff) to save the day, but in this case to save the night! I called my warranty company prior to calling Roto-Rooter and they could not find a plumbing service to come out at 9 p.m. at night especially on a holiday weekend but thanks to Roto-Rooter 24 hour services. Thanks to Jeff, he was very professional! He disconnected the expansion tank to stop it from spraying water all over the garage and to allow the main water system to be turned on until he returned to our home the next day to replace the tank with a new one. I highly recommend Roto-Rooter for their professionalism and services! Letha

When we got our sinks clogged again, we reviewed our records and called Roto-Rooter, hoping we could request a specific technician: Jose Quirino, #672. It was late night, ... though, and we got a gentleman who worked for several hours but the hose (?) was too short so he said he'd send someone else in the morning. And to our happiness, we got Jose back! He explained what he was doing and why, and gave me tips on prevention. We think he is awesome. Great service, worth the money. Thank you!!
Ms. Shawn T.

San Antonio homeowners face specific plumbing challenges caused by local water and soil conditions. Slab leaks occur frequently as expansive clay soil shifts and cracks pipes under concrete foundations. Hard water from the Edwards Aquifer leads to mineral buildup that damages water heaters, faucets, and piping. Drain clogs and sewer line backups result from root intrusion, grease accumulation, and aging cast-iron systems in older neighborhoods. Water heater failures often stem from sediment accumulation, reducing efficiency and causing leaks. Regular inspections and timely maintenance prevent small issues from becoming costly repairs.
Plumbing service fees in San Antonio reflect a range of factors, from the timing of the call to the skill level required for the job. Standard residential repairs are priced differently from specialized work handled by a master plumber, with the latter commanding higher rates given the expertise involved. Larger undertakings — like water heater replacements or slab leak detection — can be notably more involved due to the labor demands and the unique soil conditions found across the region. Scheduling ahead and getting a detailed estimate before work begins is the best way to stay on top of costs, as emergency and after-hours calls will carry a premium.
A clogged main sewer line requires professional inspection because the blockage affects the entire plumbing system. Warning signs often include water backing up into tubs or showers, multiple drains slowing at the same time, or gurgling sounds from toilets. Roto-Rooter plumbers use video camera inspections to locate the exact cause of the blockage, which may include tree root intrusion, pipe collapse, grease buildup, or accumulated debris. Early diagnosis helps prevent wastewater backups and property damage.
Roto-Rooter in San Antonio, TX, offers promotional discounts for select plumbing and drain services. Available coupons may apply to services such as drain cleaning, sewer repair, or water heater work. Current offers are listed on the local coupons page and are subject to service terms and conditions.
Roto-Rooter plumbers in San Antonio, TX, provide plumbing and drain services 24/7, 365 days a year, including Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays. Emergency response is available at all hours to address urgent plumbing failures such as sewer backups or burst pipes. Appointments can be scheduled by phone or online.
Clogged drains in San Antonio, TX, homes are typically caused by everyday debris combined with mineral buildup from hard water. Materials such as hair, soap residue, grease, food waste, and coffee grounds collect inside pipes over time and restrict water flow. The hard water prevalent across Texas leaves mineral scale along pipe walls, which narrows the pipe diameter and allows debris to accumulate faster than in softer-water areas. Routine drain cleaning helps prevent recurring blockages and slow drainage issues.
Roto-Rooter provides residential and commercial plumbing services in San Antonio, TX, including drain cleaning, sewer line repair, and water damage cleanup. Services address clogged drains, main sewer line blockages, burst pipes, water heater repair and installation, sump pump service, and bathroom and kitchen plumbing repairs. Sewer inspections using video equipment help identify pipe damage or obstructions before repair. Emergency plumbing and drain services are available 24/7, 365 days a year, including nights and weekends.
San Antonio’s climate places unique stress on residential plumbing systems due to extreme summer heat, sudden winter freezes, and shifting clay soil conditions. High temperatures cause pipes to expand and increase internal pressure, while rapid cold snaps can freeze exposed water lines and lead to pipe bursts. Seasonal soil movement beneath foundations can also strain underground pipes, contributing to slab leaks and sewer line damage. Preventive maintenance and proper insulation help reduce damage and extend the plumbing system's lifespan.
Roto-Rooter plumbers in San Antonio, TX, follow local permitting and inspection requirements for plumbing installations, repairs, and sewer work. City regulations often require permits for water heater replacements, sewer line repairs, and major plumbing modifications to ensure systems meet municipal and state code standards. Familiarity with local inspection procedures helps projects move forward without delays and reduces the risk of failed inspections or required rework.
Drain cleaning costs in San Antonio, TX, vary based on the location of the clog, the severity of the blockage, and the equipment required to clear the line. Roto-Rooter plumbers perform an on-site assessment before work begins and provide a written estimate that outlines the recommended solution and total cost. Pricing reflects the scope of work needed, whether the issue involves a localized drain clog or a main sewer line obstruction.
Warning signs of an unreliable plumber include refusal to put the scope of work in writing, inability to verify Texas licensing, and reluctance to pull required permits. These behaviors increase the risk of incomplete repairs and code violations.
Additional red flags include no verifiable business address, vague explanations of repair scope, and high-pressure sales tactics. Consistent negative reviews referencing poor communication or repeat failures also indicate procedural instability.
Sewer lines carry wastewater away from homes and businesses. Shifting soil, aging pipes, tree roots, and mineral buildup in San Antonio can cause blockages, backups, and property damage. Roto-Rooter plumbers provide comprehensive sewer line services, including cleaning, video inspections, repairs, and replacements. Repairs are performed using trenchless or conventional excavation techniques, minimizing disruption while restoring full sewer function.
