Water Softener and Filtration
Spokane Valley water hardness ranges from 7 to 11 grains per gallon. Minerals in hard water accumulate in water pipes and appliances, reducing water flow and causing damage. Hard water used for bathing dries skin and leaves hair looking limp. Roto-Rooter installs and services water softeners, which alleviate the damaging qualities of hard water.
Types of water softeners
Salt-based water softeners
Salt-free water softeners
Dual-tank water softeners
Magnetic water softeners
Reverse osmosis water softeners
Shower head water softeners
While generally safe to drink, Spokane Valley water can contain carcinogenic PFAs, also known as “forever chemicals.” A water filtration system helps ensure the best possible water quality for your home or business.

Common Plumbing Challenges in Spokane
Spokane's volcanic and glacial soil and eastern Washington's semi-arid climate, with cold winters and hot, dry summers, contribute to several recurring plumbing problems. Knowing what to watch for helps homeowners catch issues before they escalate.
- freeze-thaw stress on exposed and shallow water lines
- hard water scale from the carbonate-rich Rathdrum Prairie Aquifer
- tree root intrusion in older neighborhoods
- older neighborhood pipe deterioration
Volcanic and glacial soil affects homes with basements and crawl spaces throughout Spokane. Basement flooding and sump pump failures add to the urgency during spring snowmelt and sudden midwinter thaws.

Frequently Asked Questions in Spokane
Should I worry about hard water in Spokane?
Water from the City of Spokane comes from the Spokane Valley-Rathdrum Prairie Aquifer and has a hardness of about 147 parts per million, which is considered hard. Hardness can differ outside the city depending on your water provider, so check your utility's annual water quality report. Hard water leaves mineral scale on heating elements, tank bottoms, faucets and showerheads, which can reduce hot water and shorten water heater life. Timely water heater repairs help catch buildup before it causes a failure.
Does Roto-Rooter offer 24/7 emergency plumbing in Spokane?
Yes. Our Spokane team takes plumbing emergency calls 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including burst pipes, sewage backups and major leaks. Call us to request service.
What areas near Spokane does Roto-Rooter serve?
We serve Spokane and nearby communities including Spokane Valley, Liberty Lake, Mead, Cheney and Airway Heights. Give us your address when you call or request service, and we will confirm coverage at your location.
Can a Spokane basement flood during a spring thaw or sudden warm-up?
It can. Fast snowmelt over still-frozen ground can send runoff toward foundations, and a sump pump moves that water away from the house. Pumps can fail from age, power loss or a stuck float switch. Roto-Rooter provides sump pump service in the Spokane area.
How do I know if my sewer line needs to be inspected?
Slow drains in more than one fixture, gurgling sounds, sewage odors and repeated backups are warning signs. Tree roots, aging pipe and grease buildup are common causes. A video camera inspection shows the actual problem, and the fix may be drain cleaning, hydro jetting or a sewer line repair.
How can I keep pipes from freezing in a Spokane winter?
Before the first hard freeze, disconnect garden hoses, drain outdoor faucets and insulate pipes in crawl spaces, garages and exterior walls. Keep the heat on when you travel, ideally above 55 degrees. During a cold snap, open cabinet doors on exterior walls and let a faucet on an outside wall trickle. If a pipe does freeze, shut off the water at the main, never use an open flame, and call Roto-Rooter.
What should I do if a pipe bursts in my Spokane home?
Shut off the main water valve right away and open a low faucet to drain the lines. If water is near outlets, appliances or your electrical panel, do not step into standing water. Turn off power at the breaker only if you can reach it while standing on dry ground, and otherwise call an electrician or your utility. Then call Roto-Rooter: we can repair the break and help with water cleanup so damage does not spread or turn into mold.
What are the most common plumbing problems in Spokane?
Spokane's cold winters and freeze-thaw swings put stress on water lines, mineral buildup from hard water can collect in fixtures and water heaters, and aging sewer lines are prone to roots and backups. The most common calls are frozen or burst pipes, slow drains, sewer backups and water heater trouble.
Yeah, we do both.Call now to schedule
