Our Services in Harrisburg
Harrisburg homes face a unique set of plumbing pressures. The region's clay and shale soil shifts with freeze-thaw cycles during cold winters, putting stress on underground pipes and foundations. Older homes with basements throughout the Harrisburg area are especially prone to sewer line problems, water intrusion, and aging pipe failures. Roto-Rooter has the equipment, training, and local knowledge to handle the specific challenges that Harrisburg's climate and building stock create, and our experienced plumbing technicians are available 24/7, 365 days a year to respond promptly when problems arise. Call us today at 717-737-8494 to get started.
Roto-Rooter is a full-service plumbing company offering a wide range of solutions for Harrisburg homeowners and businesses. No matter what plumbing issue you are facing, our team has the tools and expertise to get the job done right the first time. Below is a complete list of the services we provide in the Harrisburg area.
Harrisburg's cold winters and heavy snow create conditions where moisture easily enters older basements and crawl spaces, and mold can take hold quickly after a pipe leak or flood. Homes in neighborhoods like Lemoyne, Shiremanstown, and New Cumberland often have older construction that is especially vulnerable to hidden mold growth behind walls and under flooring. Roto-Rooter's mold remediation team identifies the source of moisture, contains the affected area, and removes mold safely so your home is protected. Schedule your mold remediation service today.
Clay and shale soil in the Harrisburg region puts constant pressure on underground sewer and drain lines, leading to cracks, root intrusion, and blockages. Homes in Mechanicsburg, Hummelstown, and Middletown frequently deal with slow drains and sewer backups caused by aging pipe systems that were never designed to handle decades of soil movement. Roto-Rooter's experienced plumbing technicians use advanced camera inspection and hydro-jetting equipment to clear blockages and repair damaged lines fast. Schedule your plumbing and drain service now.
Heavy snow and ice in Harrisburg winters means burst pipes and basement flooding are common occurrences, especially in older homes with basements in areas like Carlisle, Lebanon, and Elizabethtown. When water damage strikes, fast action is critical to prevent structural damage and mold growth. Roto-Rooter provides complete Water Damage Restoration and Cleanup services, arriving promptly to extract water, dry out affected areas, and restore your property. Schedule water damage restoration today.
Harrisburg's harsh winters put extra strain on water heaters, and a failing unit during a cold snap can leave your household without hot water at the worst possible time. Homeowners in Hershey, Palmyra, and Lititz know how quickly a water heater can fail when temperatures drop and demand spikes. Roto-Rooter's experienced plumbing technicians handle water heater installation quickly and correctly, ensuring your new unit is properly sized and connected for reliable performance. Schedule your water heater installation today.
When a water heater starts failing, Harrisburg homeowners in communities like Dillsburg, Shippensburg, and Ephrata need fast, reliable service to restore hot water to their homes. Roto-Rooter's experienced plumbing technicians diagnose water heater problems quickly and recommend the most cost-effective solution, whether that means a targeted repair or a full replacement with a modern, energy-efficient unit. Schedule your water heater service today.

No one wants to have an plumbing issues, but when we did have our first plumbing issue, we called a known company in the area for help. The ... call was answered after regular business hours. Service call and scheduling were handled very efficiently and the plumber arrived when he was expected to. Plumber completed the repair in a timely manner; he also was prompt, courteous and very tidy with cleaning up. All is back to normal. Thank you!

Roots were blocking my sewer line (back-up). Another service had attempted to open the line but, as we later discovered, apparently did not have the equipment necessary to perform ... the task. They didn't seem to know what to do and offered to get the "tools that they needed" soon and would call me soon (I had to call them) - after returning a month later (when it backed up again) they punched another hole thru with a water jet ("flooded" my garage in the process to the point that I used my shop vac to control the spreading, they then used theirs' too in the line - actually dumped it out in my yard leaving a pile of excrement and then left me to clean up the mess and disinfect my floor) only to have it back up again the following month. After several more calls to them and more excuses we decided to cut our losses. I called you guys and within a few hours Kurt (your tech) showed up, acted professionally, in no time he had the roots cut out and even showed me (camera) that the line was now clear - with no mess for me to take care of... I'm glad that we made the right decision this time. Thanks!
I'm glad that we made the right decision this time. Thanks!
sorry - I assume that these are reviewed before being "posted". I had already completed this survey but my internet connection failed before I was able to enter the drawing. ... Since I lost $ 500 to the first "plumber" (I use that term loosely!) that would be the perfect end to my bad experience with them that you guys resolved for me. Thanks again for another (I'm a usual customer - unfortunately when I contacted "you" on the Sunday when my sewer backed-up the other guy was able to be here sooner...my luck) wonderful experience I had with your company and I look forward to your "service notice" (reminder) in two (2) years!
Kurt Hocke was very nice even though I was late getting home to meet him. He was speedy and told me what was going on with my sewer system, ... which is very interesting and helpful if you suddenly don't have one!
Tech was very efficient, very polite and explained the problem and how he was going to fix it.
Oyler N.
Great service! Good guy - was friendly and informative as to what he was doing to open up my sewer line. Will call again if needed!
Great response time. Technician quickly diagnosed problem and provided feedback for future prevention.
