Comprehensive Plumbing Solutions in Buffalo
Buffalo’s aging plumbing infrastructure includes approximately 40,000 lead service lines, which can leach lead into drinking water and pose serious health risks. Pipes made from galvanized steel or cast iron corrode over time, leading to leaks, pipe bursts, and water quality issues. Basements are at risk of flooding during spring thaws, and the city’s cold winters can result in frozen pipes. Roto-Rooter’s plumbing services in Buffalo, NY, are tailored to meet and resolve local plumbing issues.
We offer a wide range of plumbing services, including:

Water Softener and Filtration
Buffalo has moderately hard water. 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
Buffalo’s water supply comes from Lake Erie. Local water meets state and federal safety standards but may contain trace amounts of lead, TTHMs, HAAs, and PFAS. Algae blooms on Lake Erie can give the water an unpleasant taste and smell. A water filtration system helps ensure your home or business has the best possible water quality.
Types of filtration systems
Activated carbon
Ion exchange
Reverse osmosis
Mechanical
Ultraviolet
