While we can help you handle your plumbing emergency, we can also help you avoid it with our top-quality winterization services. 

Frozen Pipes will Create Problems

When water freezes in your pipes, it creates pressure. A lot of it. Once the pressure reaches a certain point, the pipe no longer can handle the strain and will burst. That leads to larger problems. Not only will you be wasting water until you get your pipe fixed with the help of our of professional plumbing services, but your home can be impacted as well. Too much moisture can trigger the growth of mold, mildew, wood root and other unwanted complications. In sub-freezing temperatures, water leaks quickly become icy areas that can lead to accidents and make the area surrounding your home a dangerous place to walk. That is why you need to let the certified technicians from Rapid Rooter provide some preventive maintenance, in the form of winterization services, to your home in Rochester or Buffalo.
