Bob Oates Sewer and Rooter

David P.

Discovered that my toilet wasn't draining and that water was coming up into the bathtub of my DADU Airbnb after my guest checked out. I suspected it was the sewer ejection pump but I wasn't familiar with it and I needed someone to come fast before my next guest checked-in 2 hours later. Bob Oates sent someone right away and he arrived 20 minutes later. Henry was knowledgeable and opened up the ejection pump and fixed the issue. Turns out a lot of gunk had gotten stuck onto the float preventing it from working properly. While the job wasn't super technical, Henry saved the day and patiently taught me all about the pump so I could maintain and prevent this issue in the future. While the ""fix"" was NOT cheap, I do appreciate Henry's friendly nature and his patience in teaching me.

With street access cut off due to the steep slope and 7 inches of snow, our call to Bob Oates answered a prayer. Three other plumbers we were familiar with said they would not park down at the bottom of our street and walk halfway up the street on a steep grade lugging equipment, but these guys were not daunted. We had a drain clog in the washing machine while with a house full of guests. Denero was the plumber who showed up. He was clear and articulate about the problem, quick about the fix, and very pleasant to work with. Could not be happier!

Very responsive. Helped diagnose a drain clog. Gave us a great recommendation, completed the work, was timely, professional, and clean. Would definitely recommend and work with again.

Timothy was on-time, friendly, and clean. We asked for a snake-out of a slow-draining bathroom sink that we had lived with for decades. He found the problem, talked with us about how to care for the pipes more safely, and fixed it. It drains PERFECTLY now! We paid exactly what we had expected and received a great service in return. I highly, highly recommend this company.

On a non-emergency call (clogged bathroom sink), they were at my place within 24 hours, found the problem, explained what was going on, fixed it, and cleaned up after themselves - 100% professional. And charged me exactly what they'd quoted at the start.

I used them for a quick plumbing job. Very happy with the service I received. They were able to quickly come out and quick to ID my problem.

I've used them twice. The first time the plumber was faster than the second plumber. the first plumber went above and beyond, so I guess Bob Oates Plumber can vary. Still second was good but first was better.

Had a minor issue with a washing machine hookup and Cory with Bob Oates was very helpful. Thank you.

This company charged $289.41 to clear a downspout drain. Job took about 3 minutes. Price was high, but I agreed to it because I needed it cleared.

However, they advertise a $50 discount for mentioning Yelp. I did mention Yelp when I contacted them. When I asked about the $50 credit, I was told they it would be processed on July 12th. I made two other inquiries (on July 19thand July 22nd), and was completely ghosted by the company.

Seems to me they should not advertise something then fail to deliver, even when they put in writing that you are entitled to the price they advertise.

It's your money, you decide if this is the type of company with which you want to do business.

Michael is amazing. He was polite, cheerful, good at communicating, and fixed our problem in no time. I invited him to lunch, but he said he'd have to charge me for the hour. Good sense of humor too.
