Recommended Customer Reviews

Mike did a great job. He replaced our toilet wax ring and while doing so saw the need to replace our tank bowl gasket. He did not hesitant to run to Home Depot to pick up part. We also asked him to replace the tank bowl bolts (not on the original service call). He did all three very efficiently and was a very fair price. Would not hesitate to use him again!

Econo rooter is great! Mike is always helpful he has been doing our plumbing work for many years . I called him last Sunday and he came ! Price is cheap and quality work ! Highly recommended!!!

I did not have them do any work. I called to get an estimate as I knew exactly what the issue is with the plumbing. I had a tile contractor doing work on the property who used the toilet in a vacant property and flushed brown napkins. Toilet works but flushes slow and needs to be augered. All other drains were working just fine. I explained all this to the proprietor and the response was $250+ to run an auger down a toilet. After I tell him it is kind of high he starts listing all the extra (imaginary) problems he has to deal with to justify the high cost like expecting white carpet in the bathroom. Huh?
I didn't notice the hidden yelp review until after I called this business. After reading the negative review it related well to the initial discussion with the proprietor.

I have used Econo Rooter several times for plumbing issues for my home. I have found Mike to be responsive, reliable and to do excellent work. I called a few of the well known plumbers to get quotes for a water heater installation and Econo Rooter was about 1/2 the cost and was professional, neat, courteous and timely. What more could one ask for? I would highly recommend their service.

If I could rate "0" I would.
We live in the downstairs unit of a duplex. The tenant upstairs called Mike to address a clogged kitchen sink drain. Whatever solution he came up with upstairs caused our bathtub downstairs to clog and push potato skins and other food scraps into our bathtub. Obviously he just relocated the clog from the upstairs kitchen into the downstairs bathtub. For the service (which took 15 minutes), the upstairs tenant paid him $100.
When we called him to ask him to come out and finish the job he started, he refused to do so without being paid again (despite having already been paid in full for a botched job). After some back and forth about the ethics of the issue at hand, he finally agreed to come out and inspect the situation but failed to show. He has since stopped taking our calls, his mailbox is full, and our bathtub has 4 inches of potato peel standing water in it that's been there for 12 hours.
Bottom line, EconoRooter and Mike are subpar plumbers at best and crooks on top of it.
We would be happy to remove this review as soon as the matter is resolved. It's a clogged drain. Surely a skilled plumber can handle this problem in a matter of a few minutes.
