Rod's Rooter & Plumbing

Laura Y.

We used this company for a plumbing inspection on an investment property we were purchasing. Due to seller timing issues, this company had to drive across San Diego three times and still charged us reasonably without complaint and provided great service. Highly recommend. Gave us great piece of mind at a great price.

I've know Rod for over 8 years. I know lately he has been busy so I've had to use other plumbers. He is reliable dependable honest person he is honest with your problem and reasonable. Rod thank you for coming out today fixing bathroom and kitchen sink and being honest about what needs to be done

I don't even know where to start, this review will not be enough to describe how wonderful Rod is, but I'll try!

My husband and I just bought our first home. We've only been here for three weeks but we have been smelling something ""rotten"" coming from the kitchen sink, ever since we got here. Some days it's worse than others but last night, my husband said he was able to smell it in our bedroom in the back of the house. I called Rod this morning to set up an appointment for him to replace the old cast iron pipes in our home thinking that might be the cause for the smell. After describing the current issue, Rod wanted to make sure it wasn't methane gas leaking so he squeezed us into his schedule TODAY! He gave me great advice to follow until he was able to get to our house and came as soon as he could. . . This is when it gets really good. . .

Rod inspected our house from head to toe, literally. Checked our crawl space, checked our roof, under our sink and when he couldn't find a leak, he checked our freaking attic to make sure we didn't have a rodent infestation!! You guys! A plumber, in my attic?!? Who is this guy?!? Rod went ABOVE AND BEYOND for us and we couldn't be more thankful, especially since we have a one year old daughter and small dog in our home.

We are so grateful there was no real emergency today but we know it's crucial we replace the nasty old pipes under our house and of course, we will use Rod for the job! I can't recommend him enough for his professionalism, how prompt he is, how thorough and patient he is and overall just for being such a nice guy. If you need a plumber, Rod is your guy!!!

I was referred to Rod by a Nextdoor app neighbor, and when I checked his other yelp reviews, I found they said the same thing, so I call Rod. Rod was busy for several days, so we booked later than I preferred which he knew. I got a call from him the next morning said he had a window to come by right then, and so I jumped on that. He was willing to wait about 15 minutes nearby as I wasn't available right then. Rod assessed the situation, even went up on the roof to make sure the vent was installed, and gave me a different diagnosis of my kitchen sink plumbing cast iron pipe problem which a previous plumber gave me and quoted me $325 to fix what Rod said didn't need to be fixed. Instead since it was only a snake the drain problem, he suggested another company which only does snaking and who's price he knew was lower than his own. I declined! I told him I would rather pay him more for the above and beyond customer service call at no charge which he gave me! He snaked the drain in the time frame he said, and also fixed a few other things there at no extra charge. I told him he is now my ""go to plumber""! I highly recommend Rod. He's honest, competent and experience, but more than that, he clearly has the customer's best interest in mind.

We've used Rod's Rooter twice so far on the house we recently purchased and both times have been great. Rod was fast and friendly and let us know when he was on his way. We'll definitely be calling him for any additional plumbing needs.

I should have wrote this review a long time ago. Rod has been servicing my house for about 3+ years. He's is reliable, friendly, and does everything in a timely manner. He explains what is wrong, what needs to be done, why it needs to be done, and quotes a accurate price with no hidden fees.
Thank you Rod.

READ THE 1 STAR REVIEWS PEOPLE! There is a consistent message in all of them - This guy (Rod) is a complete arrogant and inconsiderate jerk. I referred him to complete a sewer line scope for a client of mine scheduled for noon. I talked to him at 12:00 on the dot and let him know someone should be there to let him in the building and I would also be there within 5 minutes, he responded nicely ""no problem"". When I arrived at 12:05, Rod and his worker were there, I apologized for running just a few minutes late. After I told him this, he absolutely lost it and said he didn't need this job and was leaving to eat lunch and go home. He immediately got in his work truck and sped off before I could say anymore. I called him to ask him to please come back and preform the job promised as we were on a deadline to get the inspection done. He said you should have been there waiting for me with the door open at noon on the dot and again that he was done for the day and going home. He repeated he didn't need my business and wouldn't come back then hung up on me. Rod- no one told you to become a plumber and if you don't like it then don't promise people jobs you aren't going to follow thru with. One day very soon you will need my business because no one is going to use you treating people like that. DO NOT use this plumber unless you enjoy bowing down to people that treat you like crap. There are plenty of other plumbers in town, no reason to work with this low life. You have been warned. (we ended up using cass plumbing and they were great!)

We had Rod come out for our house inspection and paid him a bit more to do a more extensive inspection (leads up to the city's sewer line). He found a tilt in the pipe connecting our house to the sewage line which would eventually lead to a back up in our pipes (gross).
We decided to go with Rod to do the job because he was professional and responsive.
During the job, Rob was super quick and efficient with his time. He explained clearly what he's doing and the why behind it. He double check his work and make sure that we are satisfied.
Greay service and awesome guy! I fully recommend him and would definitely call him back if I need a plumber.

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.
