Doctor Rooter Plumbing proudly serves the city of Lancaster, KY, with dependable, high-quality plumbing services for both residential and commercial customers. With over a decade of hands-on experience, we understand the unique plumbing challenges faced by homeowners and business owners in Garrard County.

 Whether you live near downtown Lancaster, on the outskirts toward Paint Lick, or in a rural home off U.S. Route 27, our team is prepared to handle all your plumbing needs with professionalism and care.


Lancaster is a historic town known for its charming architecture, close-knit community, and proximity to Herrington Lake and the Kentucky River. Many of the homes and buildings in the area date back several decades, which means plumbing systems can vary significantly in age and condition.


Some properties may still have original galvanized pipes, outdated fixtures, or septic systems, while others have been updated with modern plumbing infrastructure. At DDoctor Rooter Plumbing, we take the time to assess each property’s specific plumbing system to offer tailored, long-lasting solutions.


One of the most common services we provide in Lancaster is water heater repair and installation. Given Kentucky’s cold winters and hot summers, having access to reliable hot water year-round is essential. Whether your water heater is leaking, making odd noises, or failing to heat water properly, we’ll diagnose the problem and offer cost-effective solutions. We install both traditional tank water heaters and energy-efficient tankless models, helping you choose the right fit for your home and usage.


Water leaks are another major issue in older Lancaster homes. From dripping faucets to hidden pipe leaks under floors or behind walls, water damage can escalate quickly if not addressed. Our technicians use advanced leak detection tools to locate the source of the problem and provide prompt, professional repairs. We also offer full repiping services using modern, durable materials like PEX and copper to replace corroded or aging lines that no longer meet today’s plumbing standards.


Drain and sewer problems are also common in Lancaster, particularly in areas with mature trees and older sewer lines. We provide camera inspections to locate clogs and damage, and use hydro-jetting to clear blocked lines efficiently without damaging your pipes. Sewer backups and foul odors are signs of more serious plumbing issues, and we’re fully equipped to handle repairs or replacements as needed—whether you’re connected to city sewer or using a septic system.


Many homes in and around Lancaster, especially in rural or agricultural areas, rely on private wells and septic systems. These setups require specialized knowledge, and we’re experienced in servicing both. Whether you need well pump plumbing, pressure tank adjustments, or septic line inspections, our team can ensure your water system runs smoothly.


Doctor Rooter Plumbing also assists with new installations and remodeling projects. If you're planning a kitchen or bathroom upgrade, we can install new sinks, toilets, showers, tubs, and garbage disposals. For those building a new home in Lancaster or nearby communities, we provide complete plumbing rough-ins and final fixture installations that meet Kentucky building codes.


For local businesses—whether it’s a shop downtown, a school, a church, or a restaurant—we provide reliable commercial plumbing services. We understand the importance of fast, minimally disruptive service and can handle everything from maintenance and repairs to full system upgrades.


At Doctor Rooter Plumbing, we take pride in serving the Lancaster community with honesty, integrity, and skill. We’re a locally owned company, and we treat our customers like neighbors—because they are. From fixing leaks and clearing drains to upgrading outdated plumbing systems, we’re committed to making sure your plumbing works the way it should.
