My 1928 Tudor house has a complex underground cast iron sewer system and blockages have occurred over the years. The latest was in a basement entrance area prone to ... flooding following major downpours. Gerald labored mightily with a high pressure water technique and was able to unblock the drain where others had failed. We were extremely pleased- and relieved!

Chris with Roto-Rooter came to clear a basement drain that was backing up sewage into our home, which has been an ongoing problem for month, he not only unclogged the ... drain but also suggested fixing a pipe that was placed incorrectly. We had other plumbers mention the piping was wrong but did not go the extra step like Chris and actually suggest fixing this pipe. He came back the next day, replaced the pipe and our plumbing is working so much better.

Common Plumbing Challenges in Richmond

Richmond's Piedmont clay and coastal sandy soil and Virginia's humid climate with cold winters contribute to several recurring plumbing problems. Knowing what to watch for helps homeowners catch issues before they escalate.

  • clay soil expansion and contraction
  • tree root infiltration
  • aging infrastructure
  • coastal flooding in tidewater areas

Piedmont clay and coastal sandy soil affects homes with basements and crawl spaces throughout Richmond. Basement flooding and sump pump failures add to the urgency during heavy rain.
