Recommended Customer Reviews

STOKED! As good as it gets, Rooter Man came in and fixed my septic tank and even gave me help and advice in how to make the repair cheaper. Great service, timely and affordable. I would recommend this business to anyone needing septic or sewer services. Good family run business you can trust.

Our septic backed up evidently due to the huge snow/rain this year. Rooter-Man cleared the blockage and was helpful finding the tank under the snow and digging out the access ports. The tank was full to the top with water. He pumped it out but the tank immediately filled up again due to the high ground water table. He suggested to my wife that he come back and pump it again. This made no sense to me as the tank would just fill again with ground water, so I did not have him come back.

What a con man Jesse is!!!!
We knew the 2 inch drain line was leaking under the house in Tahoe City.
My pretty blond wife wanted to take care of it...so she called and Jesse came out.
Went under the house, called it an emergency!
It would be $900 to repair the leak and another $7,300 to clean up the deadly hazardous waste and mold.
I KID YOU NOT!
$8,200 estimate to repair a leak!
Mind you he could do it all then and there in just a few hours.
Upon hearing him scared the crap out of my gal....I came down the stairs and (my goodness I showed great restraint) requested he leave.
He insisted on $175 for the ""estimate"".
A local plumber..""Tahoe's Best Plumbing"" (Leslie) came out ... repaired the leak, took pictures, and explained the situation...all for $175. COMPLETE!
She showed numerous before and after photos.
No ""waste"" No ""mold"" (doesn't happen in Tahoe...)
Jesse is a CON MAN....the was no ""waste"", no ""mold""...and the repair took 5 minutes TOTAL.

Absolutely the rudest business man we have ever dealt with. We scheduled an appointment, a technician who was pleasant called to reschedule. We were good with change as we were making special trip up to have septic cleaned out. As we are driving up another man called to reschedule the rescheduled appointment. My husband said we were making special trip and it had to be today or our original appointment tomorrow. He became rude asking my husband why he needed to be there, did he like to see s$&t get pumped. My husband said we wanted to be there to pay him and to make sure service was done and he became belligerent and offensive, because we wanted to be there when service is done. At that point my husband did get offensive back, after asking him what kind of business man he was to be treating a potential customer that way. It went down hill from there. Needless to say, we will not ever use this business nor will we ever tell anyone to use it! Find someone else!

Terrible experience and I never hired them to clear a drain line. Called on a Saturday, was advised of a $125 call out fee, decided to wait until Monday as there was no emergency. Called Monday and was advised of a $225 call out fee because of the storm.
I understand the weekend fee for overtime, but an out of the world $225 to leave the office in a storm?
Also, they required a credit card authorization form prior to setting an appointment. Not good to penalize current customers for previous customers bad behavior.
Business is opportunistic and unethical. Will encourage anyone to call Roto Rooter in Reno. No charge for travel and very good people to have work at your home.

Daniel at Rooter-Man did an excellent job. Arrived when promised and fixed the problem quickly. He explained what he needed to do before and after. I highly recommend Daniel and Rooter-Man.

I had a major water leak at one of my rental properties so I was in need of a plumber. I called a couple other companies that told me I needed a leak detection and that I should call Rooter Man Plumbing. So I called Rooter Man and they had a technician at my house later that day. The man was professional and very friendly. He had the situation handled and fixed my water leak. I couldn't be happier to find this company so knowledgeable. I highly recommend this company for others looking for top quality work.

Wow these guys were great! Received excellent service for my place here in Truckee after asking my neighbors for plumber recommendations. They are caring and professional, had them take a look at some other potential problems when they came out to take care of my back up issues and gave me some great advice. I would highly recommend this company. Keep up the good work Rooter-Man!!

Rude and completely rude.
Promised they would go out to look at a job then acted as if it was my fault when I called ask for the bid 2 days later. They wanted money up front prior to even looking at the job.
Wow I can understand charging a fee to look at the job as everyone should be paid in case they do not get the job but a % even before you look at the job seems unethical. Lived in Truckee all my life and in real estate for 17 years. Wow. Bad business I will spread the word.

I WOULD NEVER HIRE ROOTER MAN!! THEY ARE INCONSIDERATE AND ENTIRELY UNRELIABLE!! MThere are plenty of options in the area, do yourself a favor and call a different plumber. We woke-up to frozen pipes with a house full of young kids. I called Rooter Man at 10:30am, and was told they would have a plumber at our house ""in the next hour - hour and a half"". We delayed the plan for skiing to ensure we were at the house when they arrived. They did not show up, and did not call to let us know they would be late. Finally, I reached them at 2pm. They indicated they were ""very busy, but would be there in the next hour - hour and a half"". No call to let us know status, at 4:30pm we called again and were told ""I'm finishing up and will be there within 30 minutes"". No call to let us know status, at 6pm we called again. This time, was told ""sorry we can't get there tonight, but how about 8-8:30am tomorrow"". I explained that we had been waiting for them since 10:30am, they had repeatedly committed to getting here so we trashed our entire day, they never provided an honest commitment of when they would be here, they waited 7.5 hours to tell us they wouldn't come until the next day, we had no water and kids in the house, and they commit in their ad to 24 hr service. The response was ""I'm sorry but we got busy and couldn't get over there"". He was EXTREMELY INCONSIDERATE and continually expressed the fact that they couldn't come. If they were considerate, I could have called another plumber at 10:30am or 2pm or 4:30pm but they were NOT HONEST. I have paid them $2,500 for work in past and that was dismissed. The end result is that I got a reliable plumber and paid overtime rates to have a simple job done. I could have done this it 8 hrs earlier for less money and less frustration but ROOTER MAN IS NOT HONEST...AND EXTREMELY INCONSIDERATE!!
