They are excellent. They’re the best. I always use them. It’s thorough. It seems absolutely correct and it’s well priced. They’re very good at cleaning up after them self. Sam owns it and he’s very communicative.

Anthony and Greg came and installed a water heater and hooked up our washer when the flooring company (they just laid laminated floors in the laundry room) asked if the plumber could do it. The next day our laundry room flooded. Greg game back out very late in the day and not only removed the washer and dryer but he removed the water heater as well. He dried all of the floors and put a fan on so e everything would dry out. He spent 3 hours at our house and didn't charge us a penny. The next day he came back out again to recheck the connections and couldn't find any leaks. This company believes in customer service. I would highy recommend them and of course will call them for all of our plumbing needs. They are amazing !!

They did not show up at the appointed time, and did not call.
Description of Work: I had previously used Happy Rooter several times with good results. We had an appointment for work to be done between 10:00 am and 12:00 noon. I called at 12:20 to see if there was a problem. The person on the phone said that their machine had broken and, and then their truck had broken. She had managed to call a few people, but I was not one of them. I realize that things happen, but it would have been nice to receive a call. I will not use them again.

I've had Anthony from Happy Rooter to my home numerous times. He's replaced valve stems in all faucets and showers; installed air gap on kitchen sink; installed water pressure control valve on main water line; and most recently replaced broken water line to sprinkler system. Prior visits from Happy Rooter, Sam cleaned out all drain lines and David installed new toilet in bathroom. All three mentioned plumbers and Greg, who is learning the trade working with Anthony, are fast, efficient and leave no mess when job is completed.
Description of Work: Repair broken water line to sprinkler system, installed new anti-siphon valve.

Once again Happy Rooter came to my rescue. Woke up today (Saturday) to water under the kitchen sink. Had several errands to run in the morning so I waited 'til I got home to call them. I called them at 1:20 and they told me someone would be out between 2 and 3 PM. NO EXTRA CHARGE FOR A SATURDAY!!!. Greg came out about 2:15. He left to purchase a new disposal and charged only for the cost of the disposal, did not and quot;padand quot; the price. Labor was $125.00. Happy Rooter has always done an excellent job for us. They are prompt, reasonable, and friendly. And they clean up after themselves, so I don't have to!
Description of Work: Determined old garbage disposal was leaking, not the seals but the disposal itself. Installed a new disposal.

As always, Sam came to our rescue. What I love the most about Happy Rooter is that they never try to sell you more than what you need, unlike what many plumbers will do.
Description of Work: My Delta kitchen faucet had started leaking. Rather than spend a lot of money for a new faucet (which are now cheaply built), we decided to have ours rebuilt. Sam always does such an excellent job, no matter what the problem is. He's consistently on time, does a super job,cleans everything when he's finished and is totally honest with us. His work has always been perfect and his prices are extremely reasonable (compared to some plumbers I've checked with).

We had used Happy Rooter prior to this event for a clogged drain in the laundry room and were satisfied with their work. Called them again for a slow draining shower stall. They did the work and it's been draining fine for 3 years. They are quick to return calls, charge a flat rate for jobs, not by the hour.

I had previously used Happy Rooter. I called and asked to have my roof vents, and one wall vent snaked. My bathroom sink was draining slowly and so was the bathtub. I thought that the vent snaking on the roof would solve the problem ( I don't really know anything about plumbing, but I thought that it had worked before.) The two young men from Happy Rooter arrived and explained that they would need to snake at the sink and tub to access the problems. The cost would be $95 for the 1st drain and $47.50 for each additional drain. At that point I decided that it would make good economic sense to only have them fix the immediate problems. They successfully snaked both drains. The drains are now working properly. The had to put the pipes under the sink back together, and fixed my undersink leak in the process (I thought that the leak was caused by the faucet fixture, and since I was planning to replace the faucet I had not included the leak as part of what I was asking them to do). The young men were pleasant and professional. The final bill was what I had expected to pay for having two drains snaked. They were pleasant and professional and I would hire them again.
Description of Work: Before calling Happy Rooter, I check the Contractors Licensing Board web site. They are licensed etc. for plumbing. Two young men from Happy Rooter snaked two drains that were running slowly. They unscrewed pipes under my bathroom sink and removed a metal cap on my tub to clear the clogged drains. In the process, they said that the pipe under my sink, that had had a slight leak, had not been properly installed, and they fixed the problem in the process of putting the pipes back together. They did not charge me to fix the leak under the sink. They were careful not to make a mess and cleaned up before they left.

They are primarily a plumbing firm, but one of their technicians is a Jack of all trades and he did some impressive and incredible work. There were some significant delays and it would have been a disaster if I had a job, but luckily I'm retired. I would absolutely use them again.
Description of Work: Happy Rooter recaulked my shower and repaired my faucets.

$1250.00. (the cost of the repair) They were quick and professional, but I am concerened they "did not know" that Sac. Suburban Water is who we all call first. Now I know. They do very good work though and I would still use them.
Description of Work: They responded to a plugged sewer line. They scoped it with a camera and discovered a break. Another crew came out the next day and dug down and fixed the break. However, they did not tell me that Sac Suburban would have done it at not cost. When I found this out, they promptly provided a refund of

I spent $125 on that service. I think that they are very reasonable, they do excellent work, and their responsiveness is very good. Two people came out and did the work. One worked on the shower controls and the other was cleaning and preparing the tub for the caulking. They were just very efficient and friendly.
Description of Work: I used Happy Rooter in May 2011and they removed and replaced the shower control and also re-caulked the tub.

same as above.
Description of Work: I used this company before and was quite satisfied., So I called them again but the person who I was happy with when I called before was not the same person who came to fix the problem. There were 2 problems with the toilet, it was flushing by itself and the rubber ring had to be replaced. The latter was fixed but not the flushing of the toilet. I was disappointed as they had to come back and do it right. It should have been done right the first time.

The plumber arrived punctuality. The estimate was correct, with the parts. I like the plumber because give me a time frame. They will arrive between 11:00 and 1:00 , and they arrived in 11:00 a.m. sharp. I've used the plumber last time.
Description of Work: I have a leak in the water tank, running from the metal tubing. the plumber replaced the valve with a new model.

The plumber was competent. He helped me put the dishwasher water, using wringing towels. Several years ago I had a local plumber and asked if my home is in the "territory" And he said they business all around the Sacramento. After the plumber completed, he charged me for "mileage" and surcharge for "electrical equpment " (snake).
Description of Work: On last Monday, water flowing on the kitchen floor. I figured that the disposal clogged, so I put the disposal on, and let the dishwasher on. Then a second occurrence of water flowing onto the floor. i called my regular plumber, that I should call Happy Rooter because they have heavy equipment. The Happy Rooter plumber promptly on Tuesday morning and he said that dishwasher pump was broken. he disconnected the dishwasher. Although the pipe was not clogged, he used the electrical snake to future clogs.

He has done many jobs for me, and they have all been excellent. I could go on and on, he has done a number of jobs for me. Nothing he does is cheap, but it is certainly fair.
