Thrifty Rooter

I have been using THRIFTY ROOTER for over 30 years for everything. Harry is not only concerned about making sure everything is working for me, my mother and the 10 homes I manage. His company not only shows up on time, works neatly and cleans up after the job. The prices are fair and in fact less than when tenants called other plumbers out of the yellow pages. I now only permit tenants to call THRIFTY ROOTER directly as the prefered plumbing vendor. I am so happy with THRIFTY ROOTER and Harry. I refer him to everyone I know. I call upon THRIFTY ROOTER on a bi-monthly and weekly basis for service. I appreciate the office staff, they know me, all the tenants addresses and phone numbers and personalities of the tenants and always professionally respond to their concerns and frustrations. KUDDOS to HARRY and all at THRIFTY ROOTER.

Bad service, the guy that came play few min out side unfortunately I didn't stay by him to check what is he doing! When I ask him what was the problem he said that there was baby wipes & when I ask to see what he got out and he was lie that he put in trash I went to look & nothing was there! I ask him again and then he went to his track and look what to show me that he actually didn't find anything and he wasn't telling me the truth , I'm really disappointed, when u bring someone from ""professional "" company, I was expecting for batter job!! Not Evan one star

Just had a great experience with this company- as I have in the past...

I got completely screwed over by another company and called them... I explained what happened and they've gone above and beyond to help me out and to accommodate my hectic schedule.. I spoke to Kaitlyn at their offices and she was so helpful and seemed to genuinely want to take care of me...

Thank heavens for them and that they hired her!

youch the reviews here are terrible! but my two recent experiences with these guys have been completely solid.

i used these guys b/c first, my immediate neighbor did. we are hillside, and his drain was totally backed up. required using that industrial sized very big 100' motorized snake, and harry who helped him was dedicated to solving the issue -- going as far down and deep as possible, and insisting they keep the snake going until they hit the sewer line on the street. i know -- because i had my lazy ass on my neighbors deck having a drink while they were boring away at the drain via an access port! and then my neighbor and harry kept interrupting my drink asking me if i could turn on faucets in the house so they could check the flow! so ok ok i put down the drink and did my good deed for humanity for the day and turned on the faucets for them! my neighbor's drain clearing cost $100. took about an hour. and was a lot of dirty wet work.

cut to two weeks later, and my bathroom sink is running very slowly. i actually took the drain apart, poked away as far as i could but i simply did not have the tools to go much further. i could see as soon as i looked into the wall the pipe immediately bent down at 90 degrees and i also know from history, there were roots in this drain. i thought maybe there's a hairball somewhere close i can get. but no hairball. at least as far as i saw.

i called friday, they set up an appointment for saturday morning, and martin comes. jovial, smiley, eager to help. he used a handheld router on a drill. went about 15 feet, pulls out some roots. asks if i want him to go further b/c who knows what else is down there and there's the possibility the line gets caught and stuck in the roots unless they use the bigger machine. i asked, you can feel when there is resistance, right? he says yes -- so i say go as far and deep as you can but do not be aggressive. btw we are talking about the drain. i don't know where you mind just went.

he puts the router back in, this time goes maybe 25 feet, pulls it out and now there is a tennis-ball size clump of roots which he's yanked out! we try the drain, it all runs clear... and so i knew we got that sucker. this was a fairly quick job -- thank heavens i guess. took about 20 minutes only, cost $70. which is better than the $95 minimum that my other normal (and very good) plumbers charged. i felt this was a smaller job, so i didn't want to call out the big guns i have used in the past (moe, money wrench...). and for this, thrifty router did a great job.

i have no complaints, my neighbor has no complaints. i can see a lot of people here do and yes that totally sucks when a service provider does a terrible job. but i can tell you from start to finish my experience here was very good. the person who answered the phone on friday was nice, the lady who called this morning to confirm was nice. and everything went well.

call them. ask for harry or martin. and i think you'll be happy you did.

I highly recommend this company! I had a sewer line that was backing up and needed help right away. The company sent two guys out immediately. They brought the heavy machinery and gave me a fair quote of $210. (It's less if the pipe they have to access to run their rooter is easily accessible--unfortunately mine was under the house). They removed the roots that were stuck in the pipe, cleaned up after themselves. I'm super happy with the nice plumbers they sent and how diligent they were.

Thrifty Rooter has the best service. I had an emergency toilet clogged in the early morning. I called a few places that say there open and no answer. I called Thrifty and they sent a plumber right away. He did a job great and gave a good price , I've been using this company for more then 3 years now and they always do a good Job .

I highly recommend Thrifty Rooter. Victor just finished opening my blocked bathroom drains and did the job quickly, professionally and with no attempt to ""up sell"" me to services I don't need. After mentioning that he should probably come back every four months, he replied that six months would be fine. Professionalism and honesty - an all to rare combination that this company has. Thank you, Thrifty Rooter, for your excellent technician and quality service.
