Franklin's Rooter Service And Video Inspection: Local Plumbing Company Serving Baton Rouge, LA 70805

Our video inspection sends a small, high-definition camera through your pipes to give us a real-time view of the entire line from your house to the septic tank. We can spot early warning signs like root intrusion, slow drains, or pipe damage that, if left untreated, often lead to backups and overflows. Catching these issues early saves you from the major expense and mess of a full septic system failure, which is especially important given our local soil conditions.

Yes, a constantly running toilet is a classic sign of a worn wax ring seal or faulty flapper valve, which allows water to silently leak. This not only wastes water but can damage your subfloor over time. At Franklin's, we first perform a thorough inspection to confirm the exact cause. Our repair involves carefully removing the toilet, replacing the compromised seal or internal components with high-quality parts, and reinstalling it to ensure a perfect, watertight fit—solving the run and preventing potential water damage.

In many older homes here, pipes can be long and uninsulated, meaning you wait minutes for hot water to reach the faucet—wasting water and money. Installing a recirculation pump creates a loop that keeps hot water readily available at every tap. This provides instant comfort, significantly reduces water waste (which is great for both your bill and our local resources), and can even prolong the life of your water heater by reducing its cycling. It's a smart upgrade for comfort and efficiency.
