They were very professional and the work was done very much on time. It’s very frustrating when you call a company and they don’t answer but they always answer my calls and questions. I would recommend them.
Description of Work: I had tree roots growing inside the sewer line of the toilet. They had to take the whole toilet out to get at the root. They cut and cleaned it out. They did damage the toilet in the process but I called them back and they came the next day and replaced the toilet.

I am cautiously optimistic that Cobra, has fully resolved the problem, and highly recommend their services. Kuddo's to Cobra.
Description of Work: I have been an Angie’s list skeptic. I recently hired a national / regional sewer specialist for a clogged drain. I was advised that I need a $7,600.00 repair. I knew it was time for a second opinion and was open to paying the small Angie enrollment fee. I am pleased to report that Cobra Rooting and Plumbing seems to have resolved the problem for $150.00. Cobra snaked the main line, and re-snaked the original problem line.

The technician they sent was named Mike and he did a fantastic job finding the issue, repairing it, making sure it was fixed, and then making sure we didn't have the same issue in the other tub since they were both the same age. I was completely satisfied with the service and thought I got a deal on the price.
Description of Work: Tub in guest bath upstairs was leaking to laundry room below creating quite a mess. Called Cobra to come out and see why. They diagnosed it was a leaking overflow gasket in the bathtub. Replaced the gasket in that bub and then the one in the masterbath just in case.

After an electrician came and did a diagnosis that the water heater needed to be replaced, I called Cobra and was told there was a service man in my area that could come the same afternoon to replace the water heater. Juan arrived, checked the water heater and told us it was fine; the problem was with the wiring to the electric timer. As he is not an electrician, he offered to wire the heater directly, bypassing the bad timer so we could have hot water immediately. The bill went from the expected $625 to a $75 service fee! I appreciate the speed of the response as well as the honesty of not just replacing something that didn't need to be replaced! Thanks Cobra!
Description of Work: Water heater was wired to a timer that had stopped working. An electrician had diagnosed the problem as being in the water heater so did nothing, but Cobra service man Juan correctly discovered the problem and wired the water heater directly so it would work.

Response was timely and I'm happy with Ryan's service. I would definitely use this company again, should the need arise.
Description of Work: I contacted this company for a second opinion or confirmation of what I had been told by Rescue Rooter (who had been at my home to provide a "free" water heater inspection. along with a camera inspection of my main sewer line.) Before leaving, they had submitted a report for services they said I needed related to the camera inspection: a power wash of the main sewer line to clean out debris and build up @$1200.00, and a 4'6" deep excavation in my front yard to replace 5 feet of "misaligned" pipe @$3080.00. Needless to say, I felt that I needed to get a 2nd opinion. After Ryan (with Cobra Rooter & Plumbing) read Rescue Rooter's detailed evaluation and knew my concerns, he did a follow-up camera inspection and wrote this evaluation: "Came out for 2nd opinion on sewer line. Used camera to inspect the line and found no root intrusions or build-up. Line is in good condition.."

Great!! The was our first time using Angie's List and I am very happy with the plumber we selected from the list. They were here less then an hour after our calling them. The worker came in found the problem and had the issue completed in an hour, with a trip to the store. We'll definitely use Cobra in the future.

Cobra Rooter provided prompt service at a very reasonable cost to replace my hot water heater. I would recommend them again and would consider for other plumbing jobs. They quoted me over the phone for the job and honored their price, even though more labor was required because my heater had to be pumped out through a basement window etc. Their staff was easy to work with as well.

Extremely well - the owner, who came and did the work was very polite, helpful, and had good advise. The company has 4-5 plumbers in addition to the owner. I have used them before and will definitely use them again.
Description of Work: Our shower head was leaking. When I called Cobra Plumbing they were extremely helpful and advised me to call the company that made the shower head to get a replacement part - which came at no cost. Once the part arrived, I called Cobra and they came the next day to replace the part. They were very professional and did a very nice job.

I had a bad sewer gas leak in my house. I had it pinned down to one of my bathrooms and a laundry area, which shared a wall. After some investigation, I settled on the idea that I must have a plugged vent pipe, so I hired Cobra to snake it. David from Cobra came out. After some investigation, he said that the toilet is usually the issue when it comes to sewer gas leaks, so he thought his time would be better spent replacing the wax ring. I deferred to his expertise, since I didn't actually know that the vent pipe was in fact plugged. Furthermore, it seemed that everything was draining very smoothly, which seemed to indicate that there was no issue with the vent. After he changed the wax ring, the sewer gas problem got much worse! This was very convincing that the toilet was in fact the problem, but unfortunately, the toilet wasn't sealing properly. I called Cobra back, and they were very professional and courteous about sending someone back to fix the job. This is where you can really tell the character behind a company --- how they handle a situation where they need to revisit the job. They definitely did not disappoint. This time, Jerry, the owner, came to my house. He found the problem with the original repair --- the spacer was not sitting flat, and was not sealing. He put in a new spacer, and secured it with sheet metal screws, and caulked it securely. Then two wax rings were used instead of the usual one, due to the disparity in height created by the tile job around the toilet base. In the end, the repair was perfect --- that toilet is sealed! I was definitely impressed with Cobra. I have learned firsthand through various experiences that the mark of a quality contractor is not how they handle the easy jobs, it is how they handle the hard ones --- good contractors will stick with the job and with their customer until the job gets done. I can and do recommend Cobra with confidence.

The came out and snaked my laundry drain on 8/30. But the clog is back today n 9/25. I called to see if they have a 30 day warranty like most other places and was told they do not and I would have to pay to have them come out again.I'd rather go with someone with a warranty if I were you. I'm going to try someone else.

Response from Cobra Rooter & Plumbing Service
Dear Member, I am sorry to here about your experiance with our company. We do offer a 30 day limited warranty. When I questioned my tech about your job he said he could not get anything but a bare cable threw the line. He also mentioned something about your kitchen sink backing up as well.I would like to talk to you about what happened here and how it was resolved. Also the charge was $75.00 not $95.00. I need to know what happened so I can make a judgement about a possible refund. In our business warranties are based on access and condition of pipe. Please call me at 480-628-0276. Sincerely, Jerry Weichmann Cobra Rooter and Plumbing

I thought when I joined Angies List I would get a reputable company and who showed up a "Melvin". Greasy hair, dirty clothes and someone that would not listen to me. I had a bid to replace drain in wall and thought It was too steep so I had a handy man tear out wall so all plumber would have to do is change out drain trap. I agreed to the price to change out trap and expected him to go with that. I asked him specific questions to make sure the other plumber was right about my problem but he said he thought differently. After all "I have been doing this for fourteen years." Then began to cut into a pipe in the exposed wall & not replace drain as requested. He had also quoted a price of $70.00 for the first drain clean out and $40.00 for the second after I questioned what he was doing, fussing with drains and not replacing trap. When the final end of this frustrating experience I was told the charges would be $187.00 because he was not able to reach the expected clean out in wall. I was then told that in order to get to what ever clean out he expected to find I should have my handy man tear out another wall. I disputed the charge and he reduced it to $110.00. In my hurry to get rid of him I failed to figure out I was not getting credit for my $70.00 coupon. The drain trap I wanted replaced did not get done, and he failed to open only one drain. He left a huge mess in the master bathroom and in the hall bath sink.

Response from Cobra Rooter & Plumbing Service
Dear member, I apologize for the late response as I have been on vacation. I'm sorry to here about your bad experiance with our company. I apologize for my techs un-professional appearance. In this profession you do get dirty. I think what he was trying to tell you was, your problem was not the laundry trap. You had a drain stoppage between the kitchen and the laundry. Replacing the laundry trap will not fix that problem. In retrospect he should have replaced the trap as you wanted. then he could show you that this would not take care of the problem. When he drained the laundry it backed up in the kitchen sink. This should not happen which indicates a stoppage. My gps indicates he was at your job for 4 hours. Unfortunately you have a badly limed up tee where the 2 fixtures meet. He was unable to get it to drop into that tee. He did make a great effort to try and clear the drain. Unfortunately my tech was not able to get your confidense that this is what you needed to do. Customer satisfaction is very important to me. I apoligize for your bad experience and I would like to refund your money. Sincerely, Jerry Weichmann President Cobra Rooter and Plumbing

I called on a Sunday afternoon and made an appointment for Monday morning. On Monday morning, he called to let me know he was running 1/2 hour late. Very courteous and thorough. He found the blockage in my sewer line, and charged a reasonable rate for the time spent. I will definitely use Cobra again.

After Angie's List suggestion, I phoned Cobra Plumbing at 1:30 p.m. and requested plumber for sewer rootering at 4 p.m. David showed up exactly at 4 p.m. (very impressive) and he was very nice and informative (very impressive). He did the work quickly, professionally, and provided lots of information along the way. He went above and beyond the call of duty and was a great help to the work we needed to have done. I was very impressed with David and Cobra Plumbing and have already recommended them to three families. Don't waste time looking for other plumbers (though there are many other A-rated companies), Cobra will do a great job for you!! I was told on the phone that the service would be $75 per hour and David completed everything in 50 minutes and it was the $75 charge. I was happy to pay it for the service that David provided.

I called before 9 in the morning and was told to wait for a call. Dave called a little later and said he would be here between one and two. He called again to say he was on his way at 1:15. He fixed the pipe in no time. Then looked at another little issue in the kitchen, fixed that and left before 3. He couldn't have been nicer or more professional. He was very neat and left no mess. I will definitely call Cobra again.
