Rooter and Sons is the best. They came as soon as we called, analyzed the problem and began work immediately. All of the workers were extremely courteous and more than willing to answer all of our questions. They continued to work even when it was getting dark. We highly recommend this company. 5 STARS.

Based on many positive online reviews, we have called R&S Plumbing for an estimate for a substantial job we thought we needed. At their visit they concluded that we did not have the problem after all. The technician, Evan, was very cordial, friendly and knowledgeable. He inspired confidence for his company. We are glad we have their contact for any future needs.

I never post reviews, but this place is just SO great. They came out to replace my leaking water heater the same day during a snowstorm when (understandably) so many other companies weren’t able to make it happen. Such friendly people and good prices - definitely recommend!!

Don’t Ignore these Warning Signs of a Problem with Your Water Heater

By Rooter & Sons Plumbing • May 23, 2025
A functioning water heater is one of the most important appliances in your home, quietly supplying hot water for showers, dishes, and laundry. But when something goes wrong, you might find yourself suddenly dealing with cold water and costly repairs. At Rooter & Sons Plumbing, we provide expert water heater repair and replacement in the greater Raleigh, NC area . Here are five common red flags that indicate your water heater may need professional attention. Inconsistent Water Temperature If your hot water sometimes runs lukewarm or even cold without warning, this is a sign that your water heater isn’t functioning properly. Fluctuating temperatures could point to a failing heating element, sediment buildup inside the tank, or an issue with the thermostat. While it might seem like just an occasional nuisance, inconsistent water temperature is often the first sign of a bigger problem developing inside the unit. Unusual Noises Coming from the Tank Water heaters often make some noise during normal operation, but loud banging, popping, or rumbling sounds shouldn’t be ignored. These noises are commonly caused by hardened sediment accumulating at the bottom of the tank. Periodically flushing your water heater can help avoid this issue. Leaks Around the Water Heater Any signs of moisture or pooling water around the base of your water heater should be addressed immediately. Leaks can be the result of a crack in the tank or pressure relief valve issues. Even small leaks can quickly escalate into significant water damage and mold growth. A leaking tank often signals the need for a full replacement. Discolored or Rusty Water When hot water coming from your faucets looks rusty or has a metallic odor, it may be due to corrosion inside your water heater. This can be a sign that the tank’s anode rod, which helps prevent rust, has worn out and the tank itself is starting to deteriorate. Reduced Hot Water Supply If your hot showers are getting shorter and the tank seems to run out of hot water more quickly than it used to, your water heater may be losing its efficiency. Sediment buildup or aging heating elements can prevent the unit from properly heating the full volume of water in the tank. This is especially common in older units and may signal it’s time for repair or replacement.

5 Advantages of Installing a Tankless Water Heater in Your Home

By Rooter & Sons Plumbing • April 21, 2025
Upgrading to a tankless water heater is a smart choice for homeowners looking for efficiency and convenience. Unlike traditional water heaters with storage tanks, tankless models heat water on demand, providing hot water whenever you need it. This modern approach to water heating offers several advantages, making it an appealing option for many households. At Rooter & Sons Plumbing, we provide expert tankless water heater installation in the greater Raleigh, NC area. Here are five benefits of tankless water heaters. Endless Hot Water Supply One of the biggest advantages of a tankless water heater is that it provides an unlimited supply of hot water. Traditional water heaters store a limited amount of hot water, which can run out after multiple showers or large water usage. With a tankless system, water is heated as it flows through the unit, ensuring that you never run out of hot water. Energy-Efficiency and Cost Savings Tankless water heaters are significantly more energy-efficient than traditional tank models. Since they only heat water when needed, they eliminate the standby energy loss associated with keeping a tank of water hot at all times. This efficiency translates into lower energy bills, helping homeowners save money in the long run. Space-Saving Design Traditional water heaters with storage tanks take up a considerable amount of space, often requiring a large closet or utility room for installation. Tankless water heaters, on the other hand, are compact and can be mounted on a wall, freeing up valuable space in your home. Their small size makes them an excellent option for smaller homes or any household looking to maximize storage space. Longer Lifespan Another advantage of tankless water heaters is their longer lifespan compared to traditional models. While conventional water heaters typically last around 10 to 15 years, tankless units can last up to 20 years or more with proper maintenance. This longevity makes them a worthwhile investment for homeowners looking for a long-term solution. A More Eco-Friendly Option By reducing energy consumption, tankless water heaters are a more environmentally friendly option. And since tankless water heaters last longer than traditional units, they contribute less waste to landfills, further benefiting the environment.
