Manhattan's Plumbing Experts - Fast, Reliable Service When You Need It Most

Roto-Rooter is the trusted plumbing company serving homeowners and businesses in Manhattan, NY. Manhattan's mix of urban fill and clay soil, combined with cold winters and humid summers, puts constant stress on underground pipes and building foundations - especially in the borough's many pre-war buildings and row houses with basements, where aging cast iron pipes and combined sewer systems are common sources of trouble. Basement flooding from storm surges and frozen pipes in older buildings are also frequent concerns for Manhattan residents and property managers. Roto-Rooter's experienced plumbing technicians handle clogged drains, hidden leaks, and emergency pipe repairs. Call 212-687-1662 any time - Roto-Rooter is available 24/7, 365 days a year.

Why do so many Manhattan buildings have frequent drain problems?

Many Manhattan buildings were constructed in the early 1900s and still rely on original cast iron drain pipes, which corrode and crack over time. The borough's aging combined sewer system can also back up during heavy rain events, pushing water into basement drains. Roto-Rooter's experienced plumbing technicians can inspect, clean, and restore drains in older buildings of all sizes. Call 212-687-1662 to schedule a free estimate.

What should I do if my basement floods in Manhattan?

Basement flooding is a real concern in Manhattan, particularly in pre-war buildings and row houses where storm surges and heavy rainfall can overwhelm aging drainage systems. If your basement floods, avoid contact with standing water and call Roto-Rooter at 212-687-1662 right away. Our team provides water damage restoration and cleanup services and will respond promptly to help protect your property. Roto-Rooter is available 24/7, 365 days a year for emergencies.

Can frozen pipes be a problem in Manhattan apartments and townhouses?

Yes - older Manhattan buildings often have pipes running through exterior walls or uninsulated spaces, making them vulnerable to freezing during the city's cold winters. A frozen pipe can burst and cause serious water damage if not addressed quickly. Roto-Rooter's experienced plumbing technicians can locate frozen or burst pipes and make repairs fast. Call 212-687-1662 any time for emergency pipe repair service.

Ben did an excellent job of assessing the problem, describing what he was doing along the way and ultimately fixing it. He was super respectful of keeping everything clean ... and tidy. I'd definitely recommend working with Roto Rooter, and ask for Ben if you are in Brooklyn.

Manhattan, NY

I did not realize Roto Rooter did more than drains and I was nervous originally because they quote the job not by the hour. As it was the day before ... Thanksgiving I really needed it all perfect. The job was not easy and he was at my apartment for 6-7 hours while I was at work. He explained everything to me, showed my suoer for approval and when I got home it was all perfect. I believe having a plumber under the Roto Rooter umbrella makes them accountable to higher standards.

The plumber took time to discuss with me the best approach to search for the leak in my pipes that was within my walls so as to cause the least ... amount of damage to my walls. At the first entry into my wall he found the pipe that had a whole in it that cause the water leak. He made the repair in good time and cleaned up after himself. He was also friendly and very helpful.
