Rod's Rooter & Plumbing

Ryan P.

I have lived 3 houses away from Rod for 10 years. In that time he has helped me with several different plumbing situations where I was in over my head (replaced a water heater, replaced a toilet, unclogged a pipe outside, and other jobs). He is an easy guy to work with who does quality work and shows up on time. I've also referred Rod to my in-laws who live near us. Always a great experience. Highly recommended.

Rod has been doing work for us for the past 3 years and is the most trust worthy plumber we have ever met. He highly skilled, and does a great job explaining what needs to be done. Would recommend to anyone.

Rod is the best plumber there is! He is great! He is very reasonable and super intelligent. He knows exactly what you need and he will explain everything to you in detail! He is very caring and he did so many things that he didn't have to and he didn't ask for more! If you need someone who does excellent work and is super friendly choose Rod! By the way, the lady who posted the one star wasn't even his customer and she didn't know what she was talking about. He was very working while she called and he said he would call her back to explain more after he was done with his work for the day! He still is the number 1 plumber in San Diego and the best in my opinion!

Rod came out to fix my water heater. He did a great job and charged me a reasonable price. He has a lot of experience and you can tell takes pride in doing quality work. I highly recommend him.

Only plumber I trust! Bought my home 8years ago after being ripped off by other plumbers Rod came in and I've never had issues with his work! Ever! Recently installed a water heater for us and did such an amazing job.

I had hired Rod a couple of years ago and he did a good job. I've used him a few times since and even referred him to friends. Apparently, the good referrals (from me and the ones on Yelp) have gone to his head. He gave my tenant an estimate over the phone to replace a toilet ($550!) and I called him so I could better understand the estimate (what type of toilet was he going to install, the price seemed high but I know quality varies so it must be a good one for $550, etc.). Seems reasonable to me. The response? I'm too busy for this, go with it or hire someone else. And he raised his voice and was dismissive. (I can't help but wonder if the response would have been different had my husband called.) I even said I was willing to pay $550, I just wanted to understand the basis for the estimate. He just told me to pound sand.

Shame on you Rod for being a jerk to a customer who only wanted to be educated on what you were selling her. Twelve plus years of using plumbers, roofers, electricians, etc. and no one has ever yelled at me. I'm changing my review of you on Nextdoor too.

Give your money to someone considerate. The world is full of jerks, there's no need to support this one with your hard earned dollars.

I hired Rod to do the plumbing repairs before we moved into our home. He was always on time and did a great job with every repair. Everything works great and he took the time to explain every repair and future maintenance. I'll be recommending Rod to anyone who asks me if I know a good plumber. Thanks again!

Rod came out to do our plumbing inspection and did an excellent job explaining the full extent of work that needed to be done on a home we were potentially buying. It was very important for us to make sure that we had a professional inspection of the property beforehand and all necessary information. Rod is very friendly and personable and extremely knowledgeable about plumbing. Rod was willing to disassemble his equipment and carry it onto the roof in order to scope the main line while many others are unwilling to do so. He provided us a quote for work that needed to be done and returned promptly to complete the job. His price was fair and he did not exceed his original quote. Rod came himself and dug up our front yard to replace a damaged portion of the main drain line. He was very professional and made sure everything was cleaned up afterwards as well as put down grass seed to leave our yard better than before. I would use Rod for any future plumbing services.

I was collecting bids for several plumbing repairs in my house and Rod bid on the jobs. I forgot about a leaking toilet and asked him to come back to analyze and include that repair in the bid. After looking at the toilet, he said he could fix it on the spot at no charge. Wow! His subsequent bid was less than the others and I came to learn his work ethic is top rate. With one of the repairs he told me other plumbers would simply replace the entire shower mixer/valve since finding the broken part would take more time and effort and reduce the plumbers profit. This is exactly what one of the previous plumbers suggested!

Rod's philosophy is why replace the entire equipment when you can find the correct part, save the client some money and do the repair properly. I cannot say enough good things about the quality of his work, fair prices and great attitude. This is the guy you want to call when you need plumbing done right.

Just wanted to pass along a referral. Rod, of Rod's Rooter just replaced all of our 58 year old cast iron waste lines. They did it in 2 1/2 days with absolutely no inconvenience. Super nice, clean, efficient and reasonable. 619-572-3416. We were dreading this project and putting it off for absolutely no reason. Highly recommended. They have also done other plumbing jobs for us and our clients with the same great results.
