Roto-Rooter Plumbing & Water Cleanup

Danny H.

I've never written a review, but this place cost my dad so much money, I refuse to stand by and watch them get away with ruining more people's homes. My dad had a problem with his shower leaking. He called these guys, so they looked at pipes and to replace his entire shower/tub ordeal. They screwed up his whole shower--which has been in pieces for a month or two. He has called Roto Rooter to fix the problem that was evident to the blind eye, and they said No it's fine. So my dad PAID to have two different places check it out, you know, to see if the tub was done correctly. Both other plumbing companies said that Roto Reuter is not a real plumbing company. They specialize in drains, and that this wasn't the first time their crummy work has put a family at a loss. After all of this, I don't think my dad should have to pay for ANY of the work they did. They've cost my dad more money, and they continue to deny there's a problem. It's un level, the stuff under the tub needed more attention, and it is a breeding ground for mold and other future problems. Why not get it done right the first time? You're not dealing with customers' issues like they have families or other things to pay for. They figured a quick fix would do it. My dad needed help, and he trusted you. Don't use Roto Rooter. Even the other companies who inspected their work says they aren't real plumbers. What a waste of time and hundreds of dollars.

So our drain was clogged and it seemed they got it unclogged but two weeks later we had to call them back. They charged $420 the first time and then they charged us AGAIN for not unclogging the drain. This time they quoted one price and then it was $200.00 more than the quote. So we had to pay an additional $660.00!

My kitchen sink would not drain. I called Roto-Rooter and they would not give me even a ball park estimate for a snake job. I should have known then. They came out and within a minute said, running the snake would be over $400 ! ! They also added, that was 'THE' price for snaking a kitchen sink. If they're going to cheat people, they need to get their stories straight. I went to home Depot, bought a snake for $30, took me maybe 20 minutes and all is great.

After I left my reviews, they sent 2 guys over to look at my issues, they could do nothing. so they are sending another guy over next Monday, who's qualified to look underneath mobile homes. hope to update the review to more stars next week, we will see.

Called for a clog toilet after trying to plunge with no success. Plumber turns on the sink????? proceeds to tell us the toilet is clogged in the pipe below the toilet, well DUH! He's asked, you can tell all that by turning on the sink? My whole 52 years of life I never heard of that, but okay LOL. He says that will be 253.00 and then he was asked how long will it take? He smirks and says 5 min. My advice is if your toilet is clogged go by a toilet snake for less than 50.00 before you call ROTO ROOTER. KR, BV, JN

The water from washing machine is causing sink to flooding. They guy asked $440 to snake the area.

I hate to give them 1 star! This is more of a """"ripoff report"""" than a rating. On a Saturday night they showed up an quoted me north of $850.00 to clear a pipe. Beware!

This is a tough one. I would give them 5 stars for promptness and friendliness. Someone broke a water pip e outside our house and we found it spitting water. This company was responsive and they fixed the leak no problem. We found it a bit pricey but we were happy to get the leak fixed. A week later our irrigation system guy came by and told us that the pipe parts had been installed backwards and there was no longer any water flowing to our irrigation system. So he had to redo the fix to correct the flow. Based on this I would not recommend. UPDATE: Roto-Rooter read this review and contacted us. Full apology for the inconvenience and a refund. Ultimately they demonstrated an outstanding level of customer service and wanted to make sure we were happy with the results. I am updating the review to reflect this. I've seen reviews for other companies which were low because the company did not take ownership to solve a problem and did not work to make the customer happy. Kudos to Roto-Rooter for making things right all around!

Very expensive! Not sure if someone's looking to retire early but not at my expense. They do not give you any kind of pricing before they go to the job so that should've been a red flag foe me. They wanted almost $800 to locate and clean out a sewer line at a residence. I called another company and they did it for $200 the same day.
