  • What does it mean when my toilet is gurgling?

    It usually means there’s some sort of blockage or restriction of flow. If it’s on the first floor, that usually means there's a main line blockage. However, if it’s on an upper level, it usually means that there's a branch line blockage. In either case, you'll want to schedule plumbing services immediately.

  • Is it safe to use acid clog remover?

    It's not recommended because the chemicals have the potential to damage your pipes. Instead, call Rooter Chris Plumbing & Drain Service for professional plumbing services.

  • Can I put food in the garbage disposal? If so, how much?

    The garbage disposal is designed to handle small amounts of food from dishes. Large amounts of food will clog the garbage disposal and the pipes, requiring plumbing services to unclog them both.

  • How do I stop my toilet from rocking?

    The toilet needs to be pulled to determine the source of the rocking. Contact our team to schedule a toilet adjustment or any other sort of plumbing repairs.

  • Why does my shower drip when it’s off?

    If your shower has a single handle, that means that the cartridge has failed. If it has two or three handles, that means that either the washers or the stem has failed. It's important to handle these leaks quickly. According to Jobber, residential water leaks waste a total of around 1 trillion gallons of water a year nationwide. Call our team today to schedule any shower and plumbing repairs.

  • What does it mean if I hear my pipes rattling after flushing the toilet?

    Rattling pipes are an indication of potentially high water pressure due to a failed PRV (pressure regulating valve). Call our team immediately to schedule plumbing services to alleviate that pressure.

  • Why is my tub or shower draining slowly?

    This is usually caused by a build-up of hair that has gone down the drain. Our team offers drain unclogging as part of our standard plumbing services.

  • Why does my toilet kick on at night?

    This could be an early sign that the components inside the tank are failing. It could also indicate high water pressure. Before you schedule any plumbing services, our team can come out and inspect your toilet.

  • Why is there a bad odor when the shower is in use?

    The foul odor means that either the mechanical vent has failed or there is a build-up of hair and sludge in the shower drain. When you need drain and plumbing services, give our team a call.

  • Why does my faucet have low water pressure?

    If your faucet has low water pressure, this is most likely due to sediment buildup from the water heater or a failed PRV (pressure regulating valve). For faucet and plumbing repairs, give us a call.
