This company came heavy and got the job done properly when I needed a new sewer lateral connection done at the house. The pricing was the best around and I would recommend them in a heartbeat for any job within their scope.

Can I say ""excellent"" on my sewer lateral with Challenge Rooter? They were recommended to me for their efficient service. Of course, I needed to double check with YELP and saw a 5 star agreement.
The only delay was on the part of the City of Oakland which is notoriously late with permit approval.
The work was somewhat complicated by the sewer line which was 14 feet below the street but they managed to still complete the job in one day and stuck to their initial estimate.
I highly recommend Challenge Rooter and would also like to put in a commendation for Rosa, the office manager who was on top of communication and updates.

We received quotes with the purchase of our new house for a sewer lateral replacement and sidewalk repair from Challenge Rooter. Challenge Rooter didn't mess around - they were super efficient and excellent to work with.

During the scheduling process we were super annoying clients, and actually rescheduled the project... three times? Rosa was totally understanding, flexible, and an absolute pleasure to talk to and work with.

Our Sewer Lateral and Sidewalk Project was completely done in 2-business days and Challenge Rooter took care of everything with the City of Oakland.

We even had a miscommunication about the Sidewalk Replacement and Challenge Rooter knocked a few bucks off to make us feel great about the entire project.

Our yard and landscape was ***immaculate*** afterwards.

Thanks Rosa & Challenge Rooter!!!

We contracted with this company for sewer lateral repair on a house we recently purchased. Once we signed the contract they applied for the necessary permits and were able to start within a week. It took them two days to complete the work, including inspection. In addition to being prompt in completing the project, they left the premises in impeccable condition and were always responsive to calls and emails throughout the process.

Very easy company to work with. I highly recommend.

Had Challenge install a new water heater a few days ago. First my sewer lateral and then my water heater! Chevo came by and took a look and had his guys here the next day. I can't say enough good things about this company. Don't hesitate to give this company a call, you will not be disappointed.

Challenge Rooter is a great company. They're professional, responsive and super helpful. They did my sewer lateral for a very fair price - lower than competing bids. I'm so glad they were recommended to me and I'm happy to pass it on!

I recently purchased a home and needed to replace the sewer lateral and do some sidewalk repairs. Challenge Rooter did a fantastic job. They had excellent communication and offered competitive pricing. I would certainly reccommend them to anyone looking to do so similar work!

Challenge rooter is an outstanding business. We decided to hire them for a sewer lateral. From the first call, the attention we received from the manager was outstanding, showed up on time, did what he had to do in order to get us a quote. within a day, we had a quote emailed to us explaining the detail and what needed to be done. We had others come for quotes, however, this company came a bit under the others, plus all the great reviews they have here we decided to go with them. They kept us on the loop, the only wait was really for the permits from our city, but other than that, they called, scheduled it and finished as they promised in 2 days. they left my property the same way they found it, their clean up and commitment to excellent service is awesome, thank you for your great service.

I recently purchased a home in the Rockridge neighborhood in Oakland. I had a big sewer lateral problem that I was required to fix by EBMUD. It involved excavation of a big area in the street, another 15 feet long in my driveway, and one by my garage. The team was first rate -- always on time and very hard working. There was a lot of of drilling and digging, but they cleaned up the site at the end of each day and completely when finished. Rosa in the administrative office was terrific -- very helpful and cheerful. Their bid was reasonable and the work well done. I highly recommend them if you need their services.

If you have a big job and want it done right at a reasonable price, stop what you're doing a pick up the phone to call Challenge Rooter!
I was hoping to find a good plumber when it came to replacing my lateral sewage line. I had bought my own snake because of how often my main sewage line was clogging. I called challenge rooter after reading good Yelp reviews. They came out and did a camera inspection....for FREE!!!! All other plumbers I called wanted $250-265 just for the inspection!
They quoted me a $6900 for a trench less install. On the day of the install, we hit some trouble, as they discovered my sewage line was surrounded by concrete. The only way to replace my line was to do a full trench.
I told them we will continue the work, and they had my yard put back together until they could do the work the following week. It took them 2 days and it costed & $13,000...I was worried because they had to breakup my friends t walkway...However, their level of professionalism was superb. They worked fast and when they left, you couldn't even tell my yard had been worked on!
Later on, a delivery person walked on the concrete that was still wet and left footprints in my walkway. Challenge Rooter had techs out 2 days later to fix the issue for no additional charge and it looked great! Thank you Challenge Rooter for giving us peace of mind throughout the whole process and providing an excellent level of service and professionalism!
