Quick response time on a weekend and fair price to fix a kitchen sink clog that required a snake. Professional and courteous. Most importantly, they fixed it right the first time and sink now drains as it should.

Excellent! Fast, professional, friendly and a flat rate. Cleared our sewer line on short notice. This companies 5 star reviews are for a reason. Highly recommended.

We called Econo Rooter, mainly because of the excellent reviews on Yelp. We are so glad that we did. Sam, the owner, promptly answered our call and came to our commercial property in Mill Valley. We had a large main drain stoppage, and Sam gave us a price before he started the work. He is efficient, reasonable and did a wonderful job. His truck is well stocked and he has the latest equipment. We will definitely call Econo Rooter for all our plumbing needs from now on.

This past weekend, I was notified that a drain on our property was clogged and needed immediate repair. Being that it was a holiday weekend, the service I generally use was closed...so I went to Yelp in search of another provider. I left a message at Econo Rooter, but feared that they would be closed as well. I was immediately called by 'Sam' at Econo. I explained the problem, and within an hour, they were on the property and repaired the damage. While there, they also checked other lines to ensure that they were not clogged as well. Sam went ""above and beyond"" in my opinion. His price was fair and he was a pleasure to deal with!!! I cannot recommend him higher for any drain-related needs you may have.

I'm really appreciative to Sam who came out on a Saturday to help fix our toilet. He was nice on the phone, came out on time and did his very best to make sure that we were satisfied with his work. The toilet still has problems, but that's not Sam's fault. The issue was not with the plumber. He is great and a real 10. I highly recommend his work and him.

Mr. Patel was fast efficient and gave me a good price on a bad sink clog. Would use him again.

Great service. Sam was really amazing. Quick response and diagnosis of the problem. He could not fix the issue that same day, but came back first thing in the morning and took care of the problem quickly. Sam is an incredibly nice man, and he charges very reasonable rates.

I highly recommend Sam and Econo Rooter!

We had an emergency back up at 5:00 - an hour before the busiest time of week at our establishment. Sam arrived in 30 minutes and was quickly able to get his truck near the clean out. The drain to the sewer lateral was long, but Sam was able to snake it, find the blockage (a bunch of paper towels) and get the job done quickly. I highly recommend.
