Recommended Customer Reviews

Best plumber in town! Prompt and efficient and very personable. Guaranteed quality work at a great rate. Thanks!

Did a wonderful job with our plumbing problems in our house (SSF). Easy to work with very professional. Highly recommended!

Outrageous estimates and had misdiagnosed the leak. Told me and my husband it was the main pipe, that he would need to break the driveway. His estimate was for $8000. When I called another plumber for another estimate, I was shocked, it was not the main pipes at all, it was the fire sprinkler system. Cost me $850.

Didn't fix the problem, only suggested a total re-do of plumbing throughout for $5,000, and said he would take a check but changed his mind and only wanted cash. He followed me to the ATM to collect like we were going to skip out on paying him. It's our house, where could we go? Poor, poor service.

Highly recommend!!! Had a huge clog in our toilet. They came it right away and fixed the problem! Fast, friendly, knowledgeable!!

our storm drain was clogged, which in turn affected our toilets flushing. needless to say, nasty sewage water was basically spilling over into our basement floor
i showed rommel where i thought the clogged problem was. he took a look at it and in 5 seconds knew what the problem was, and located the source of the clog. inserted the snake tool and voila, within 5 seconds, the water started draining right away!
rommel is super friendly and knowledgeable, you can tell he's really on your side. plus his rate is very very reasonable, cost $150 less than a different company i was going to try.
thanks rommel, you're the first person we'll call when we have plumbing issues again!

Don't even bother with these guys! I talked with Rommel around 8:00 AM and set up an appointment to unclog a drain between 9 and 10 AM. A little after 10:00 AM I called again to make sure they were still coming out to which Rommel replied laughingly that he had an emergency and would be out between 1:00 and 2:00 PM. He apologized for not calling to let me know but assured me he would be here to unclog the drain. It is now 5:25 PM and he is still not here and no phone call either. I wouldn't use these guys if they did the work for free.
If your word is no good, then you can rest assured their work is probably not that great either!

We have had a backup problem in our main line due to roots for the last 7 years. Every year like clock work the main lateral would back up. Over the years we had several different plumbers snake and video the line to see the obstruction, so we knew that the time had come again.
We called Lil Rooter and they gave us a time they would be there in the afternoon. They showed up on time which was a very good indication of the professionalism we would receive. Romell and Oliver showed up and immediately got to business snaking the line and offering to video tape the line for free. Just like in years past we see that the line has gotten worse. Romell offered to give us an estimate on replacing the main lateral with a trench-less pipe burst and under no pressure gave us time to decide to get it done.
We accepted his offer and he put it in writing with a warranty in ink. We decided on a time and due to some scheduling conflict he immediately called us to reschedule by a day which was no problem at all. When the day came to go Oliver and another worker showed up on time and got to work. Minimal to no interruptions while excavating two spots in the front. It wasn't loud as I expected and Oliver asked us to watch the pipe bursting procedure and we were impressed. No problems no hiccups in and out in close to 4 hours. Oliver video taped the completed job and asked if we were satisfied, we were more then satisfied .Cleanup was acceptable because there was none, it was a clean quick job.
Cliffs:
-Needed lateral replaced due to constant backups due to root damage
- Lil Rooter snakes and videotapes, offers estimate to replace line
-Lil Rooter gets job done in 4 hours
-Pipes are clear for whatever we throw at it, lol
