A family-owned plumbing company built on one simple idea: answer the phone, show up fast, and treat every customer the way we'd want our own family treated.
Rooter ER Plumbing is a family-owned, local sewer and plumbing business serving all of Orange County, California. We're fully licensed and insured (CSLB License #1120615), BBB Accredited and A-Rated — and we treat every job like the emergency it feels like to you.
The company was founded by Anthony Fankhauser, who brings over 15 years of experience in the plumbing service and repair sector. Anthony worked his way up through every role — helper, installer, service technician, and manager — before starting Rooter ER to give customers an honest, transparent relationship with their plumber.
From 2am burst pipes to planned water heater and sewer replacements, we handle the full range of residential and commercial plumbing: emergency plumbing, drain cleaning and rooter service, sewer repair and trenchless replacement, leak detection, water heaters (tank and tankless), and custom whole-house water filtration — all across Orange County.
