Richy Rooter - El Paso's Best Plumber

This is a classic sign of sediment buildup, a common issue in El Paso due to our hard water. Minerals settle at the bottom of the tank, insulating the burner and reducing efficiency. The rumbling sound is caused by water boiling under the sediment. Richy Rooter can perform a professional flush to remove the sediment, restoring your heater's efficiency and lifespan, and we can also install water softeners to help prevent future buildup.

Signs include a sudden spike in your water bill, the sound of running water when all taps are off, warm spots on the floor, or cracks in walls/floors due to soil movement. We use non-invasive electronic leak detection to pinpoint the leak under your slab foundation. Our repair options include re-piping the affected line or, where possible, using trenchless epoxy pipe lining to seal the leak from within, minimizing disruption to your home.

Yes, in many cases. For accessible pipes under the slab, Richy Rooter often uses trenchless epoxy pipe lining (also called pipe bursting or CIPP). This method involves creating a small access point to insert a resin-coated liner into the damaged pipe. It cures in place, creating a new, seamless pipe inside the old one. This is a durable, long-term solution that avoids the major excavation and restoration work of traditional slab leak repair, saving you time and money.
