Roto-Rooter is best known for drain cleaning & sewer cleaning.

We also specialize in water damage restoration & water cleanup services. We can fix and clean up your flooded basement too. Roto-Rooter is a 24-hour plumber near you and provides emergency service.

"They were able to come out quickly to assess the issue, then schedule the work. The work was performed quickly, but they did have to come back and fix the drainage issue, as they had set the drain as one of the high spots in the basement, not the lowest. So, while it works, it looks odd and I’ve got a drainage tube in a weird spot."

Brocious Plumbing, Heating & AC, LLC started business in 2001 out of our home in Gettysburg, Ohio. We have outgrown our business location 4 times and are currently located on Red River West Grove Rd, South of Gettysburg. This is our final location, I hope. There have been many changes over the years, licenses gained, trainings taken, and much experience to learn from. Our biggest change came in 2019 when my wife and business partner died suddenly. That necessitated huge changes in my business. We pride ourselves on our quality of work and our experience. We still continually try to do better and fix our flaws. Our licenses and certifications are plumbing, water treatment, wells, well pumps, gas lines through Vectren’s & Centerpoint’s courses, universal refrigerant, multiple flexible gas lines, advanced certifications for Rinnai tankless water heaters..

"Mr. Brocious was hired due to a flooded basement that had destroyed my control board on my furnace. He discovered the clogged drain by noting the water wasnt draining. I ask him to give me a estimate on my clogged drain and got a ** I dont know ** He then tells me he can fix my furnace, I told him my company was coming out the next day to fix it, but the water had to be removed for their safety. He didnt have a pump when he arrived and ask me if I had one! Why would I call a plumber if I had a pump? He had to go get a PUMP! He had to buy one! Never did he mention I would be charged. In fact he gave me no pricing at all, which made me uncomfortable and I should have went with my gut feeling and told him to leave! Long story short, he pumped out the water TOOK IT UPON HIMSELF to fix my furnace and CHARGE me for it, and charged me for the pump he bought for his company and took it with him ! I flooded 12 days later, called a competitor who was out in 3 hours, I had to buy a pump, after I was charged for one from this Brocious Plumbing. My furnace was destroyed again! He hadnt cleaned the drain or called ! Run for your life with this man! He is nasty rude and creepy looking. I had a security system installed after dealing with him! The Competition had it cleaned out in under 2 hours, plus found some issue&s I needed to address. I do have my go to plumber now, but I wouldnt recommend this person to anyone!"

"They did a fantactic job. Kept the work very clean. Our basement is finished and they were able to provide a solution where we didnt need to refinish any section after the work was complete."

Founded in 1954, we are a growing family owned and operated business headquartered in Warren County, Ohio. Now in the second generation of the DeHart family, we are still locally owned and operated serving the entire Southwest Ohio communities for more than 61 years! We are successful because we love what we do! We answer our phones and pride ourselves in taking excellent care of our customers. Our service technicians and staff are all certified by the industry’s leading authority, National Association Wastewater Technicians (NAWT). We believe in training and education and like to keep our customer informed about their septic system. We accept all major credit cards: Visa, MasterCard, Discover, and American Express. We recycle all of the wastewater received so this eliminates any trip charges for you, our customer. Give us a call, you will be glad you did!

"They called to say they were on the way; arrived right on schedule. They pumped out the tank and said the tank was in good shape. A problem was found with the line coming from the house - totally unrelated to the septic tank. They did as much as they could do, but recommended hiring a plumber to come in and scope the line with a camera. I have arranged for this to be done in the next week or two. The two men from AAA Wastewater were very helpful, and courteous! I would definitely hire them again and will be happy to recommend them to others needing septic service! The bill was less than I expected! I am extremely pleased with the service from this company! The total price included a senior discount, which was offered without my asking!"

Septic Tanks questions, answered by experts

The costs depend on whether you are buying into an existing well or starting from scratch. The average well drilling cost is between $25 and $60 per foot. The average cost to repair a well is between $350 and $1500. If you have a shared agreement and a community association, there will be additional legal and administrative fees. 

You can cover a septic tank riser with dirt, but it’s not always the best idea. If you have a plastic riser and you bury it, you can easily lose track of it since you won’t be able to find it with a metal detector. Make sure to clearly note where your rise is in your yard so that you’re able to access it easily the next time you or a septic pro needs it. Don’t bury the cover too deep or you could place too much stress on it and make it too difficult to access in the future.

Although cesspits may be necessary depending on your main sewage system access or nearby soil quality, they carry a few drawbacks. Cesspools require regular emptying and have relatively high maintenance and pumping costs. Certain areas also disallow the use of cesspools and may require you to cover the cost of existing cesspools to be converted into septic tanks.

You should pump your septic tank once every two to four years for a family of four, depending on your septic tank size. You should pump a 1,000-gallon septic tank every two years, while a 1,500-gallon tank should be pumped every four years. Water usage also affects how often you should pump your septic tank. If you notice slow drains, foul smells, or gurgling sounds from your drains, you should pump your septic tank as soon as possible.

The septic tank needs to be pumped at least every three to five years. If the septic tank is too small for the property, you might find it needs to be pumped more frequently, and during an inspection, a septic company may recommend updating your system to a larger septic tank. While 750-gallon tanks used to be standard, septic tanks with a 1,250-gallon capacity are now more common.
