I needed a plumber fast and they can right out. Harry and the supervisor Sam both helped me so fast and are so nice and polite. Great price too.
I will hire them again.
Great job.

I had the most horrible experience with Sam one of their supervisors. He recommended Hydro jetting and charged us $1275 only for us to find out a day later that the problem still existed. I called the company to provide feedback and ask for refund abs provided a written complaint to receive no call back.

This company tried to overcharge me by several thousand dollars. Called them over for a stoppage of my sewer, came and said around $150. then said they couldnt clear the blockage and had to call a manager to assist. First red flag. The manager came and ran a camera inside the line and said the pipe is broken, which was hard to belive at first because they only tried the snake for about 20 minutes max, and the SALES MANAGER DIDNT EVEN TRY TO SNAKE THE LINE HIMSELF. Once the manager said that he said it was going to be aboUt $7,500 to change approximately 30 ft of clay pipe. I felt hesitant and asked for a second opinion. Miraculously their price dropped to $6k after i said that, then the technician offered to do it on the side for $4k. This is when i told them to leave. I called another company out, they cleared the blockage in 10 minutes and showed me the camera with no water in the line. No breaks, no roots, nothing was found other than a tiny little root that was no bigger than 1/2 a dime!! Save your money, these guys are liars and thieves. Seems to be the same story with many other reviewers.

Gary, John and Julio, and all of the other people who worked on our home were honest, straight talking and fair with us every step of the way. They answered all of my questions and were evidence-based in all of their communications with me. No one wants to have to incur the expense of relining an nearly 100 year old sewer pipe located 9 feet underground, but the people at Rooter Man did everything they could to make it as painless as possible. I give them all my highest recommendation and I will call them again, if needed, without any hesitation.

Thank you all very much.

People came out to my rental to fix a leaky hose to my dishwasher. They looked at it... said it was fine. Few days later it was leaking again and claiming work was not authorized by me, but all they had to do is call me. I spoke to the tech, which came to my house and wanted 3,200 to replace a dishwasher hose and garbage disposal. I had to pay for the parts which was 350, but I cancelled after feeling that was way too much. Beware, use a local plumber, these people are out to make a buck, not help you.

I should have read some of these low-rating reviews before I hired this company. I was in a hurry and learned the hard way. I agree with all the low-star reviews on this site. A simple $49.00 unclogging job turned into over $2300 in unnecessary repairs. Very dishonest and deceptive business practice. Be aware!

These people are dishonest and want to take you for a ride. I called them at 4PM on a Friday and they showed up at 7PM after saying they would show up within the hour. He took my toilet apart then said it was too late and would have to comeback in the morning. They left the drain open and it smelled all night, left the toilet dismateled in the restroom. ( Who does that ) Anyway they came back the next day with a camera system, they ran the camera thru the pipes and said I have a broken pipe. I told them okay let me get a copy of the video or see the broken pipe. He told me he couldn't do that and it was against policy. I told them just to snake the clog and he insisted that it was a broken pipe. The told me it was going to be $9,000 to brake up the concrete and tile and he would repair the broken pipe but would need to hire a contractor to do the concrete and tile work again.
!!! Beware !! Thieves !!!

They charged me $350 to find the fake broken pipe with the camera and didn't do anything to unclog the main line. Waste of money. Don't call they fake plummbers they just care about making you spend money on unnecessary work.

I called another Plumbing company they came out and within 1 hour they unclogged the main line, unclogged a bath tub and opened a washout we had on the side of the house. All for $125

!!! Beware !! Thieves !!!

Oh, how we wish we had looked at the rating and reviews on Yelp before we hired RooterMan and discovered their tactics.
.We had two drains that were draining slowly, one in the kitchen sink and the other - the toilet, which worked fine the day before. We saw the RooterMan ad stating that they would clean drains for $49, so we called them. They came out and the first thing they said was that they had to use a camera on the toilet. They then said we had a cracked pipe under the toilet. They determined that it was a big job that would take three days and that if we didn't get it fixed it would only get worse. It sounded bad and urgent. They arrived the next day at nine a.m., jack-hammered through the cement slab under the toilet and dug a couple of feet down to so fix the pipe. By five p.m. they said the job was finished except that they had to wait until the next day for the cement to dry around the toilet The job went from a three days to one day and cost us $9200, or nearly $900 an hour for their work. The cost didn't go down when it only took one day.
We are older. I am 91 and my wife is 86. We feel they took advantage of us with their exorbitant price. It was our own fault that we fell for their $49 pitch and about it being such a huge and urgent job that would only get worse if we didn't have it fixed.
We looked at Yelp and discovered that this same procedure had happened to others using Rooterman. Beware of this company.

I had a plumbing clog and called Rooter Man. The technician suggested ""jetting"" the line indicating it would be the most cost effective. He attempted jetting from several directions, resulting in 2 hours of me using my shop vac to clean up raw sewage in my bathroom. The problem was not resolved and the bill was $450. A second plumbing agency came out, resolved the problem and fixed an outside spigot for less than $400

Some years ago, they did a switcheroo on the price. One price listed, another price for the actual work. This happens with a lot of companies.

I left a review stating that fact. I don't know if that review is still posted or not, but they contacted me and threated me. Said I'd posted a fake review and that they'd recorded our conversation. Recording a conversation without letting the person know is illegal!!! However, I'm not worried about that.

So... here you go... probably shouldn't email people and threaten them. It's unprofessional. Wish you luck in your evolution as a human.
