Customer Reviews
The two employees that came out to replace our water heater were top notch! I wanted to reach out and give them a compliment. Not only did they do a ... wonderful job, they were also very professional and courteous. I felt very comfortable with them being in our home as well. They really went the extra mile- even offered several times to mop the floor where they worked. Thank you!
I had some work done through Roto Rooter back in April. I had major plumbing issues with a drain coming from my bathroom toilet and Kyle Sloan came out and ... explained everything that was happening, why it was happening, and what needed to be done to fix the issue. He was such an expert at the job that I felt comfortable and trusting with his work. This past June I had another issue with my kitchen sink. I immediately knew who I wanted to fix the issue. I called Roto Rooter but was too afraid to ask for Kyle because I didn’t know if that was allowed so I didn’t ask. I was so happy to answer my door and see Kyle. He is so professional and treated my home as if it were his own. My garbage disposal hadn’t been working for about a year. In addition to fixing my sink issue he also fixed my garbage disposal. I highly recommend Roto Rooter. Ask for Kyle!
I want to make sure that you know what a good job Ricky Hartline and Tony ? did on my plumbing. They were both very professional and did a great ... job making sure I was satisfied with all the work they performed. Please let them know I really appreciated their help.
Chattanooga's clay and limestone soil and Tennessee's humid climate with seasonal storms contribute to several recurring plumbing problems. Knowing what to watch for helps homeowners catch issues before they escalate.
- clay soil expansion during wet seasons
- tree root intrusion
- aging cast iron sewer lines
- flooding from heavy spring and summer storms
Clay and limestone soil affects homes with basements and crawl spaces throughout Chattanooga. Basement flooding and sump pump failures add to the urgency during heavy rain.

Frequently Asked Questions in Chattanooga
How quickly should water damage be addressed in Chattanooga?
Water damage should be addressed within hours. Tennessee's humid climate creates conditions for mold growth within 24 to 48 hours on saturated materials. Rapid extraction and dehumidification significantly reduce secondary damage and restoration costs. Call Roto-Rooter at 423-855-1212 for prompt emergency response.
Does Roto-Rooter respond to river flooding and storm runoff damage?
Yes. Roto-Rooter provides flood damage water extraction, structural drying, and sanitization for Chattanooga properties affected by river flooding, creek overflow, and mountain stormwater runoff.
How can I tell if I have hidden water damage?
Warning signs include musty odors, discoloration or bubbling on walls, warped flooring, and unexplained increases in your water bill. Roto-Rooter technicians use infrared cameras and moisture meters to detect water inside wall cavities, crawl spaces, and beneath flooring.
Will my homeowners insurance cover water damage restoration?
Most homeowners policies cover sudden and accidental water damage, such as burst or leaking pipes and appliance failures. Flood damage caused by rising surface water typically requires a separate policy. Roto-Rooter provides documentation to support your insurance claim.
What is the difference between water mitigation and restoration?
Mitigation is the immediate emergency response - extracting water, deploying drying equipment, and preventing further damage. Restoration covers the complete recovery, including removing damaged materials and treating for mold. Roto-Rooter handles both phases as a single coordinated process.
Can mountain runoff cause water damage even without a plumbing leak?
Yes. Stormwater runoff from Lookout Mountain, Signal Mountain, and surrounding ridges can saturate soil against foundations, force water through cracks, and flood crawl spaces and lower levels even when all plumbing is intact. Proper grading and drainage help mitigate this risk.
Does Roto-Rooter offer free estimates for water damage restoration?
Yes. Roto-Rooter provides free estimates for water damage restoration in Chattanooga. Our technicians assess the scope of damage and explain costs before work begins.
