Roanoke Plumbing FAQ

The questions Roanoke Valley homeowners ask us most. Don't see yours? Call (540) 302-5580.

How much does a plumber cost in Roanoke, VA?
Service calls in Roanoke generally run about $75 to $150. Drain cleaning runs about $150 to $300 depending on the line and how bad the clog is, and a tank water heater runs about $875 to $1,750 installed. Repipes and sewer-line work cost more because of labor and materials. We quote every job before we start, so you approve the price up front. For an exact number on your job, call (540) 302-5580 and we'll give you a straight quote.
Do you offer emergency plumbing?
Yes — we handle burst pipes, sewage backups and major leaks across Roanoke and Roanoke County. Call and you get a callback. Burst pipes and backups cause expensive damage, so shut off the main water valve first. If water is actively flooding, shut off your home's main valve and then call (540) 302-5580. We'll talk you through what to do while we head your way.
My water heater is leaking from the bottom — what should I do?
First, cut the power (breaker for electric, gas dial to off for gas) and close the cold-water valve on top of the unit. A drip from a valve can sometimes be repaired, but water seeping from the base of the tank usually means it has corroded through and needs replacement. If the heater is more than eight years old, replacement is almost always the right call. See our water heater leaking from the bottom guide, or call and describe it.
Why is my water bill suddenly so high?
The most common cause is a running toilet — a worn flapper can silently waste hundreds of gallons a day. Dripping faucets, outdoor spigots, and hidden supply-line leaks are next. Shut off all water and watch your meter; if it keeps moving, you have a leak. Our why is my water bill so high guide walks through the checks, and our leak detection service pinpoints hidden leaks without tearing up your home.
How much does drain cleaning cost?
Most drain cleaning in Roanoke runs about $150 to $300, depending on which line is clogged and how severe the blockage is. A simple sink or tub clog is at the low end; a main sewer line that needs hydro-jetting or a camera inspection is higher. We clear the line completely rather than just poking a hole through the clog, and we quote the price before we start. Call (540) 302-5580 for drain cleaning.
Do I need to repipe my old Roanoke home?
Not always, but many older Roanoke Valley homes still run on galvanized-steel supply lines that corrode from the inside, causing low pressure, discolored water, and repeat leaks. If you're patching leaks in the same lines over and over, a repipe usually costs less over time and solves the root problem. We can inspect your pipes and tell you honestly whether targeted repairs or a full repipe makes more sense for your home.
Do you handle plumbing emergencies in Roanoke?
Yes — burst pipes, sewage backups and sudden leaks across Roanoke and Roanoke County. Shut off the main, then call. We stop the water, make the repair, and pull the required permits for water heater replacements, repiping, and other major work where local code calls for it. Call (540) 302-5580.
What areas do you serve?
We serve the City of Roanoke and all of Roanoke County, including Salem, Vinton, Cave Spring, Hollins, Cloverdale, Daleville, Troutville, Blue Ridge, Bonsack, and Boones Mill, plus nearby Botetourt County communities. We come to you — there's no storefront to visit. Not sure whether you're in our area? Call (540) 302-5580 and we'll confirm your area.
