Recommended Customer Reviews

Technician Paul came on time, got the drain unplugged and cleaned up the entire sink, under sink and the kitchen floor. Did a great job and gave a 90 day warranty if it clogs up again

One of the bathtubs in the apartment building we own wouldn't drain and we were presented with this problem at around 7 pm the other night. By 8 pm, two technicians from VanGo rooter were in the unit fixing the issue. They were able to explain what the issue was immediately and were able to fix it in a timely manner. I will continue to use VanGo rooter in the future and would highly recommend them to anyone in need of a very attentive and proficient plumber.

I had an emergency plumbing issue a few days ago. It was midnight and we needed the situation handled immediately. After calling a few companies and getting some ridiculously high quotes thrown at me for what was a pretty straight forward job, I reached out to VanGo Rooter. I spoke with a gentleman on the phone who said he could have someone at my place within an hour and no ""overtime"" fees would be charged. I was positive the plumber with show up much later than expected, while giving me a crazy quote to do the job given how late at night it was, but I was wrong. Within an hour, a plumber named Ace shows up to handle the situation. He assessed the situation, provided me with a very reasonable quote to complete the job, and was very pleasant to deal with throughout the process. Best of all, he did his best to keep the job from getting messy (wore booties on his shoes to protect our floors from dirt and cleaned up the bathroom floor after he finished).
Ace and VanGo Rooter were an absolute pleasure to work with and I will definitely be reaching out again in the future. Very refreshing to find a plumber and plumbing company that doesn't bring additional drama and stress into the job. Keep up the great work!

I own a business in SF. One of our new employees accidentally dumped grease down an outside drain. The grease had hardened and the line was completely plugged. I had no idea how to fix it, so I called DarPro who cleans our grease traps. They recommended Angelo and his VanGo Rooter company. I could not be happier at the result. Angelo and crew came out the following day (with some large equipment!), gave me a fair quote, and went to work. They had to dig out a large amount of the grease, then snake the line to the street, and then hydro wash the line clear. The job took longer than they expected (or quoted), but they didn't charge a dime more. Most importantly, they stayed and did the job right without cutting corners...despite the increased time it took. I've signed up with them to do a regular maintenance on my drains every six months. Good people and a good company. Five stars, and a ""thank you"" for getting my business back up and running.

I own a laundromat in San Francisco (Fillmore Laundromat; 1426B, Fillmore Street, SF, CA 94115) and needed to clean out my drains. I called VanGo Rooter. They are on the ball!
I am VERY happy with Toby & Angelo's service -- they are punctual, honest, professional, very reasonably priced and very nice to work with. I will continue working with them in the future. Thank you Toby & Angelo!

This is a very long overdue review for the wonderful customer service and work done by Ace! Called this company(after trying a few others that couldn't come same day)with a plumbing emergency, and Ace was at my place within the hour. Fixed the problem quickly and explained exactly what was going on and my options. He provided honest service, costing me much less in the end.He could have easily told me it required a more invasive job without me knowing the difference. As well, Ace was quick and left things nice and clean upon completion. Very nice personality too, always a plus when you have strangers coming into your house and don't know what to expect! Regarding cost, I acquired a few estimates via phone before anyone came, and this company's rates were on the lower end in comparison. Thanks again for the great service.

I have never written a review on yelp before but I was so impressed with this company I wanted to show my appreciation. I had a problem with my bathroom sink and after getting ridiculous quotes from all these major companies a friend of mine referred VanGo Rooter to me. I gave them a call and their employee Ace came by to check out the problem. He was very knowledgeable and knew right from the bat what the problem was. He quoted me a price that was damn near for FREE compared to what these other companies were charging. He was able to fix my sink that same day and was very fast, efficient, and most importantly very clean. He gave me helpful tips on how to maintain my sink so this wouldn't happen again. He's very easy to talk to, felt like I knew him for years and just wasn't there for my money. I would definitely recommend VanGo Rooter for any plumming needs you may have, and don't forget to ask for Ace!

I had an issue with a clogged kitchen sink drain. When I phoned VanGo, they sent their tech, Ace, over within 30 minutes. When Ace couldn't initially fix the issue, he left for a part and returned the same day to finish the job. He also gave me some good advice on how to prevent the issue from happening again. Everyone I dealt with at VanGo (Ace, Angelo and Toby) were all very responsive and helpful. They clearly value their customers and were eager to make sure I was happy. I would recommend them to anyone who needed a good plumber.

We use VanGo Rooter for our Burlingame Restaurant plumbing contract. They are nice guys, hard workers and always willing to come and work on all of the plumbing emergencies that can emerge on any given day.
The entire crew is as polite as they are efficient. We have never had any negative experiences with their company and are happy to have them on a long term contract.
I would recommend them to any and everyone.

My toilet and tub was backed up. When calling plumbers, they all agreed that I have a main line clog, but VanGo Rooter was able to come out sooner and had better prices. Angelo was friendly yet professional and got the job done without any surprise fees. I'd definitely use them again!
