Why do Portsmouth homes experience so many drain problems?

Portsmouth's clay-rich glacial soil tends to shift and settle over time, which can cause underground pipes to crack, separate, or become misaligned. Tree roots are also drawn to moisture in these soil conditions and can invade sewer and drain lines. Roto-Rooter's experienced plumbing technicians use professional-grade equipment to clear blockages and inspect pipes so problems are caught early.

What should I do if my pipes freeze during a Portsmouth winter?

Portsmouth winters can bring temperatures cold enough to freeze exposed or poorly insulated pipes, especially in older homes with basements or crawl spaces. If you suspect a frozen pipe, avoid using open flame to thaw it and call Roto-Rooter right away at 401-849-2555. Acting quickly can prevent a frozen pipe from bursting and causing serious water damage to your home.

Can coastal storms cause basement flooding in Portsmouth?

Yes - Portsmouth's coastal location makes it vulnerable to storm surges and heavy rainfall that can overwhelm drainage systems and flood basements. Aging combined sewer systems in some parts of Portsmouth can also back up during major storms, sending water into homes. Roto-Rooter offers water damage restoration and cleanup services and can respond promptly to help minimize damage and get your home back to normal.
