Roto-Rooter Plumbing & Water Cleanup

After reading my previous review, Roto Rooter's management team reviewed my issues and made it right. I partically liked that they admitted their mistake and showed me total respect and concern. I would give their management team, especially Robert Farr, a rating of 5 stars for handling the situation very professionally. I gave 3 star rating due to the company's overpricing initially. If I hadn't written the first review I would of been overcharged for a simple job. Be sure to write reviews on services everyone. Good or bad it helps keep the companies out there honest. Most of them are and like Roto Rooter care about their customers.

They come out 24/7 for $295 no matter what they do or how long it takes. Snaked my sink and 30 minutes later it's working again. Yes it's pricey but I paid for convenience, they came after I got off work! Honestly, if the cost had been under $200 I would give them a 5 star rating.

We had a leak around the air conditioner/water heater/washer that 2 other repairmen were unable to locate/fix. We called Roto Rooter and when the repairman came he took one look and said what the problem was and fixed it. Huge relief!

Called at 0200 Sunday morning after water backing up into shower. Technician was there at 820, about 30 minutes after the call center called to tell me he was on his way. Super nice, professional. Used 40$ web coupon. Wish I would've seen the yelp $60 check in though! Problem solved and even though it seemed a bit expensive for snaking the outside drain ( my husband had done it but our snake wasn't long enough) the fact that roto rooter showed upon a Sunday with no hidden emergency costs and then offered a 6 month warrantee was worth it!

I called at 10:30 Friday morning. They said they'd be at my house by 1:15. They were there around 12:30. Michael was the plumber and he was awesome. He explained the entire problem, what I might be looking at in terms of cost, suggested I call the City to see if the real issue stemmed from their side of my property line. I did and they were here within 20 minutes. They confirmed what Michael said and are going to reimburse me for the cost to Roto Rooter. I can't thank them enough for efficiency! And honesty! And for Michael explaining everything! The best service on from any utility company I've ever experienced. Thank you!!

You ever get tired of calling for someone to fix any plumbing problems and first thing they tell you is how much you will be charged just for them showing up!? Well, if this is not news to you it is definitely to me. Going through the phonebook one stormy day coz my toilet tank is draining water Everytime I flushed. Called about 4 plumbing services and all will charged u even before they get to your house. Roto rooter on the other hand cannot tell me how much I will be charged. I argued for a minute with their operator. The only thing she said to me was I am only going to get charged if the quote they will give me as soon as they have seen the problem and given me the estimate is the amount of the work that is going to get done, with my agreement. If no work was done and I don't like the price they quote I pay nothing! There you go! From then on, I became their loyal customer. They're the only plumber I'm calling. Thanks roto rooter!!

I had a major leak in my slab around 1 am morning. No hot water, pipe busted when Water company replace a fire hydrant. Roto-Rooter came out the next day. I was quoted an estimate cost and sent the detailed estimate to my insurance company for approval. Roto-Rooter was keep me very informed on when the repair was going to happen and the est. time it would take to complete the re-piping of my home. I asked many questions to both Tom and Maynor while they worked on my home. Both workers were polite and informative on all the work that was being performed. Thanks again for getting my plumbing back up and running properly.

Wish I could give 0 stars. Found a leak in my bathroom Saturday night. Called roto rooter and they said they couldn't send anyone tonight and told us from 8 to 12 tomorrow someone would show up even after explaining we had a slow leak pooling in our floor. Waited till 11 next day, no phone call, nothing. Called them and talked to some rude person who said they will show up when they show up. 12 rolled around and still nothing. Called competitor and they arrived in 30 minutes fixed everything in an hour. Shouldn't of wasted my time with roto rooter.

This review is a positive and negative one. I called roto-rooter because my water was, oddly enough, too hot so i thought one of my elements burned out. The service men came out and replaced the lower thermostat and element stating they were bad. One of the men put his ear up to the water heater after it was replaced and said he didn't hear anything and he wasn't sure it was working. The other man said it's fine. They didn't check to see If the water changed temperatures. He said he was giving me a deal by only charging 300 dollars. Too my àmazement I had no hot water the next day. I called back and had someone comeback the next morning. This was two days after the initial problem. This new technician was amazing. He came in saw the issue and didn't understand why the first technicians did what they did. He said that the top element was worse than the bottom element and he didnt understand how the first tech failed to notice. This new tech was very personable and made it right. He stayed to make sure the water was the correct temperature he also put his ear to the heater and said yep you can hear it. After everything this is a 3 star review. 0 for the first tech. and a 6 for the second. It was a frustrating two days especially not being able to shower. At least in the end it was made right.

We had called and made the appointment for the quote on a Sunday night for monday morning. They kept calling to say they will be later and later until it got to be let's schedule for Tuesday morning! I did contact a couple of other plumbers that could have come out on that Monday. Finally the techinicain came in and gave me a quote for $295 to snake the drain!!!! The others that I had contacted were $150 cheaper. The tech said that they had just raised their rates the beginning of the year. When I told him about the other quotes he went $100 cheaper. Wonder why he had originally given such a high quote, maybe because it was two young girls at the home??? Very disappointed
