Prompt

Jason and Tim arrived on time and were cordial and professional. Unfortunately they were unable to help me with a frozen underground line, but did make suggestions and offered to prepare an estimate for further help.

Roto-Rooter Plumbers - 1/8/2011

We were having problems with plumbing drainage and made a call to Roto-rooters. Antonio Garcia came out and snaked our pipe with a camera showing us exactly what the problem was with a great explanation to go along with what we were seeing. The service was terrific and very informative.

Waste of Time

I called this morning (1/9/2011) at 10:00 a.m. and was told a tech would be at my house by noon. I received a follow up call at 1:00 p.m. saying that the tech would be running late and someone would call when they are on there way. It is now 5:30 p.m. and I had to call and cancel, no biggie right, only 7 hours later and no follow up call to make sure we are still here. 7 hours! I am very pleased to read other postings stating how happy they are with the service. However, I hope no one ever has to wait 7 hours without a phone call wondering is someone in on the way. My wife and I lost our whole day! Horrible.......

I have a reoccurring drainage ...

I have a reoccurring drainage problem due to a root from a city tree on my property. Typically every 5 years or so the root causes a blockage. The latest occurrance was this past Tuesday. I have always depended upon Roto-Rooter to handle the problem and I have never been disappointed. I called at 8:00 a.m. on the morning of January 4th. Originally we had scheduled a time between 11:00 & 1:00 as I had a different appointment at 8:30 that day. Shortly after 10:00 Roto-Rooter called & asked if they could come earlier. Chris (#209) arrived shortly thereafter and within an hour had solved the problem. As always, the job was professionally completed. Chris is a great technician. I will always call upon Roto-Rooter. Thank you for your great service!

A Very Happy Customer in Lehigh Acres, Florida

We noticed everything under our sink was soaked and our new wood floor was pulling up. In a state of panic (as it was New Year's Eve and we thought for sure no one was available), we called Roto-Rooter. To our surprise they were open and our technician Jesse (#68) was at our house in less then an hour of our telephone call. He was absolutely wonderful. Jesse explained how we had a grease build up in our second bathroom which was causing blockage and pressure build up underneath our kitchen sink. Within the hour he had our problem fixed and double checked to make sure the leaks have stopped. I can't thank Roto-Rooter enough for being so responsive to our immediate need and getting the problem fixed so quick. You are an A+ in my book!

Kinda Spendy

I just needed to snake out a drain and downspout pipe. They originally told me they'd have someone out in 2 hours so I waited around. They called after 2 hours and let me know that he would be a couple hours later. He finally showed up after 5:00 and it was dark. He got to work immediately and gave it a good shot, but concluded, and I agree, that the drain had to be dug up in order to be unclogged( the pipe is embedded under a sidewalk ). I suspected the diagnosis but wanted to let a "professional" take a whack at it first to avoid any unnecessary construction. He charged me $177 for an hour''s work. Granted he had to drive out and pull out a couple of the spendy-er tools but there was no damage done to them. I think $177 an hour is too much money to charge for someone who didn't have to go to school for 8 years and who performs routine plumbing work. Oh well, it was just the company's money.

Roto Rooter sent Jason out on the 29th. He told me he could get my basement drain upclogged for a reasonable price. Prior to this I had 4 other plumbers come out and they had given me outragous estimates. I told Jason to let me think about it and talk to my husband. I called later that night and scheduled for him to come out the next day. Sure enough he came out and they had my drain unclogged for literally a tenth of what the other plumbers were trying to charge. I would recommend them to anyone, and from now on they are the only ones I want to take care of my plumbing!

Roto Rooter Plumbers 12/7/2010

Called Roto Rooter back in July and then cleaned my clogged sink and tub. Everything was running great until this past week. I called them at noon and by 1:30 they were already knocking on the door, THE SAME DAY. I was lucky to have the same plummer come out that unclogged my drains the last time so I felt VERY comfortable when I saw Don at the door. He unclogged my tub (which I could have done had I known how to get the drain plug undone). No charge for the call and he also showed me how to get my (tricky) drain plug undone.



I'm giving Roto-Rooter 5 stars because of their commitment to time and excellence. I would reccommend them to everyone!

DO NOT CALL

Do not call these guys! They take all if your money and their techs have no clue what they are doing- I urge everyone to simply call a company that won't charge you over 600 dollars for a hydro- flush! It's pretty sad how companies like this one take advantage of people in a bind- Stay Away!

Quick Service and Friendly

Had a clogged sink drain and like other reviewers, no quote over the phone. Tech was there in 2 hours. The quote was $259 plus tax which I thought was a bit high but I just wanted the job done so I had him do it. He was knowledgable and friendly and was done in less than an hour. 6 month guarantee, but he said to not use the garbase disposal because that is causing the issue.
