They did good work, showed up on time and the service technician was very polite and professional. My only complaint is that they are VERY expensive. I called them as it was a Sunday and we needed the drain cleared that day. I was Ok with paying a surcharge for the Sunday (the informed me in advance of that) but their base price is also very high compared to other companies and the would not give me an estimate or even a range over the phone. I would consider alternatives if you aren't in the midst of a disaster.
Description of Work: We had a backed up sink in the bathroom. They came out to clear the backup.

For the price of the repair that was done I would have preferred to replace the entire water heater, which is something that I definitely hold against them. Since they are the supposed professionals. I would have expected them to advise me of all the options available to me. There was no follow up whatsoever and the only thing I ever saw was a big bill. They were on time and conducted themselves professionally, but I wouldn't recommend them.
Description of Work: Roto-Router repaired the 35 gallon water heater in one of my rental properties.

The problem happened on July 3rd in the early evening. We were having a big party the next day and needed this problem solved quickly! A technician came out within two hours and did a very thorough job. He was very friendly and efficient. He gave me a 120 day warranty for the work. I felt that the price was a little high, but we needed it, and they came quickly.

We have always been very pleased with the quality representation of this company. They normally come out within the day, the prices are competitive, and they always clean up really well after themselves when they are finished.
Description of Work: We had a clogged up kitchen drain and they came out and snaked it out for us, taking about an hour or so in doing this. They then cleaned up after themselves and discarded all the waste.

Other companies told us that they would have to do a lot more work than what was really needed. They saved us money because they were able to get it done quickly. We needed the sink badly. They were really great and we liked them. I would recommend them to anyone.

Called four other companies and had a rough idea of my need would cost. I needed the main clean-out snaked. The call center does not have the price lists on hand. Therefore, the technician comes out and gives a quote. You are then free to accept it or not. I knew the price should not have much over $100 so imagine my shock when my son called me and told me the estimate was $165. I asked my son to tell the technician I would pay $100 tops. The technician walked away without a word to my son. I will say however that they did arrive promptly and at the appointed time. In fact, they were a little early which is why my son had to handle the issue.

The job was somewhat expensive but that was understandable based on the type of job that needed to be done. Plus, Roto-Rooter gives a one year warranty. Overall experience was positive.

I have very stubborn roots &, despite attempts to replace the sewer lines, there are still a few places they get through. Roto-Rooter is always very fast to respond & very professional about clearing them out. They also recommended some more long-term solutions but did not give me a hard sell. From now on, I will always call them first, because I wont have to call anybody else or wait for service.

They worked quickly and efficiently. They were extremely polite and focused on problem-solving. They tried the cheapest means first, and when that did not work, tried the more expensive method. The whole process took about 45 minutes. I had called 2 days prior, the first day I did not call until 4pm, and cancelled at 7:30pm when they had still not shown up and rescheduled for after 5pm the next day and cancelled again when they hadnt shown up by 7:45pm. When I was available all day the 3rd day, They were scheduled to come between 10am and 4pm and came around 1pm. Worth the wait, they did a great job and cleaned up after themselves.
Description of Work: Kitchen sinks were backed up and would not unplug using plunger. Roto-rooter unplugged drains in kitchen double sink/garbage disposal, first they (two guys, trainer and trainee) tried to snake it from inside, when that did not work, tried a water-pressure + snake machine from outside clean-out that did the trick. Cleaned out about 20+ years worth of gunk. Drains are totally clear now and water drains very quickly.

It was on the weekend. We were totally surprised but happy that he was able to come out first thing in the morning at 8am. Told him that the toilet bubbled and he knew exactly were the problem was. We had a previous plumber that came out a week prior and apparently the problem was not fixed. Now it had been about two weeks and the toilet and shower are running well.
