Meet Josh Callon, the dedicated General Manager behind Roto-Rooter Plumbing & Water Cleanup in Seattle. With a career spanning diverse industries and over two decades of leadership experience, Josh brings passion and community-centered service to one of the most trusted names in plumbing and water cleanup.

After college, Josh embarked on a professional journey that began at Enterprise Rent-A-Car, where he worked for more than 10 years. He then spent nearly six years as a District Manager, overseeing multiple storage facilities. His path led him next to Schwan’s, a well-known frozen food delivery company. For the past five years, he’s served as General Manager for Roto-Rooter in the Seattle market — a role that allows him to combine operational leadership with meaningful community engagement.

For 90 years, Roto-Rooter has supported communities with expert solutions for plumbing and water issues. With a commitment to both residential and commercial customers, the company handles everything from water-damaged buildings and clogged toilets to sewer line replacements, hydro jetting, and excavation work. Josh is proud to lead a team that doesn’t just solve technical problems — they help people in their homes and businesses, often in urgent, stressful situations.

Roto-Rooter offers a wide range of services, including:

With a local workforce of well over 100 employees, Roto-Rooter Seattle is uniquely positioned to respond quickly, even to customers located an hour or two away.

Community Impact

Community involvement is a cornerstone of the Roto-Rooter mission. The Seattle team hosts a yearly food drive contest, gathering thousands of items for donation to local food shelters. They proudly sponsor local schools and sports teams, advertise in neighborhood publications, and frequently appear on local morning news programs. From youth camps to partnerships with organizations like 2nd Chance Paws, Josh and his team are deeply invested in the community they serve.

Like many businesses, Roto-Rooter faced significant operational challenges during the COVID-19 pandemic. With more people staying home, demand for plumbing and sewer services spiked. Josh responded by hiring additional staff to meet this increased demand — a pivotal moment that tested and ultimately strengthened the team’s capabilities.

Josh’s vision for Roto-Rooter is simple and powerful: To continue serving the community for decades to come; when there is a plumbing or water emergency, we've got you covered! The company’s ongoing presence and consistent support of Seattle/Tacoma/Olympia/Everett area homes and businesses remains a driving force.

“If you have water where it shouldn’t be,” Josh says, “give us a call or use our app to book an appointment. There’s no charge for that, and we’ll do our best to assess how we can help.”

“We had a leak inside our wall and had to shut off our water. Roto-Rooter responded right away, quickly located the leak, and opened the wall with minimal damage. Their water restoration team was fantastic. They even handled the insurance details, which made the process so much easier. Thank you for your excellent service from start to finish!”--Mary A.

"Jesse helped me in a desperate time, and what a lovely gentleman! He was kind, helpful, and professional. The issue was resolved quickly and efficiently, and Jesse’s friendly attitude made it all the better. Thank you!”--Rachel C.
