Need Emergency Commercial Plumbing Help?
Call Roto-Rooter if water is escaping from a pipe, sewage is backing up, or a plumbing failure has made an essential part of your business unusable. Tell us what is happening and which areas are affected so you can discuss the service needed.
For an active leak, use a nearby shutoff valve only if it is safe to reach. Keep people away from sewage and standing water near electrical equipment. Avoid using fixtures connected to a backed-up drain.

Frequently Asked Questions
When should a business call for emergency plumbing service?
Active leaks, overflowing fixtures, sewage backups, and hot-water problems that interrupt essential operations can require urgent plumbing service. Roto-Rooter offers 24/7 emergency commercial plumbing support. When you call, explain which areas are affected, whether the problem is spreading, and how it is disrupting your business so the service team can understand the situation. Response times and available services vary by location.
Can plumbing work be scheduled around our business hours?
Yes. When arranging commercial plumbing service, tell Roto-Rooter about your operating hours, busy periods, building access requirements, and any areas that need to remain available to customers or tenants. The local team can discuss appointment options and help plan the work around your facility. Scheduling depends on the service needed and local availability; an active emergency may require immediate attention.
Why do commercial drains keep clogging after they've been cleared?
A drain may flow again after a clog is cleared while grease, scale, roots, or a pipe defect continues to cause problems farther along the line. Repeated backups can also point to an issue in a shared drain or sewer line. A technician can assess the recurring problem and discuss whether a video camera inspection, further cleaning, or a repair is appropriate. The next step depends on the condition of the pipe and what is causing the blockage.
What should a commercial plumbing maintenance plan include?
A maintenance plan should reflect how your building is used and where problems have occurred before. Discuss high-use drains, sewer lines, restrooms, water heaters, and any grease traps or backflow devices with your service team. Roto-Rooter can help identify appropriate cleaning and service needs and discuss a schedule around your operations. Routine maintenance can help reduce recurring disruptions, but it cannot prevent every plumbing failure. Service offerings vary by location.
