"I am leaving a review before the work is even started. I received a quote from another company and scheduled the work. When they showed up, they tried to triple the cost. I told them to get out of my house. I then called Rooter Pro Plumbing to come out and give me a quote. Jerimey Jackson came out and looked over the situation and then put me on a conference call with the owner. They agreed to match the quote I received from the other company even though it was seriously underbid. They are a great company to work with. They are scheduled to come out this week to start the project. I would highly recommend a company with such integrity in the employees and the owner. I look forward to working with them."

Licensed Master Plumber with over 20 years experience in all aspects of plumbing. Since 2007, the purpose and mission of Ready Plumbing has remained the same—to provide exceptional service with integrity and professionalism and to build longstanding relationships with our customers. No matter how small or how big the job is, we strive to complete each project in a timely-manner with an unmatched level of quality, competitive pricing and customer satisfaction.
"Work That was needed: Installation of sump pump in crawl space in order to remove water in crawl space. Estimate of $1665 was sent via email on 4/4/2024. Details were not presented on the invoice, but Mr. Dye with Ready Plumbing assured us that the final invoice would have details of work that was done. ½ payment was made prior to work starting and remaining ½ was made upon completion of the work. Work was completed on April 11. Unfortunately, we were not able to physically go under house and examine the work. Mr. Dye assured us that he would send pictures and the final invoice would detail the work done. A few days after the installation my husband was forced to go into crawl space because of an issue with the furnace and was able to see the work that was done. That is when we saw the work that was done. On April 16 we sent an email to Mr. Dye with our concerns. Portion of the email is listed below: We would like to discuss the sump pump installation that you did at 80 Princeton Trace. After examining photos of the work and making a physical examination of the actual area we have identified several areas of concern that need to be corrected. • The pump was placed in a bucket and should be placed in a sump basin with the appropriate lid. The paperwork for the pump (that Mr. Dye gave us) had instructions that detailed that pump should be placed in a basin with top. • The dirt that was dug out for the pump pit should be removed from under the house. • Surface in the crawl space should be graded so water would flow to sump pump pit (which should have been lowest part of the crawl space.) Plastic covering should be replaced (if possible). • Some type of peat gravel should be placed in the bottom of the sump pump pit. Mr Dye refused to make any corrections or discuss how we could come to any agreement without more funds."

"First OFF, ANGI should be ashamed to have this company as contractor. I would STRONGLY recommend not using this contractor for anything. They attempted to replace a toilet i purchased and it was not done correctly. When i tried to call them on it, the never returned my call. When i finally spoke to someone they spoke to me like i was stupid and suggested i do a google search and the plumber (another contractor) that explained their mistakes did not know what they were talking. Despite the fact they installed the toilets perfectly with no issue. They refused to make it right to my satisfaction. They are overpriced, nickel and dime you to death and have the absolute worst customer service. So if you are looking for a shady contractor who doesn't do good work, will "scam" you out of your money and provide the absolute worst customer service then i would say this the contractor for you. If you are looking for a good and reputable contractor that will do good work and provide good customer service, i will have to tell you like the tech they sent out to try to fix their mistake.... "You are better off hiring someone else". If anyone would like more detail or documented proof how this contractor should never be used EVER... feel free to contact me. I truly hope this helps you make the right decision of NOT HIRING THESE BOZOS"

Roto-Rooter is America's Largest Plumbing and Drain Cleanng Company. We offer 24 hour services with no overtime or after hour charges. We also offer convenient finance options
"BUYER BEWARE! Had a pipe leak within my wall. Caught it fairly early with minimum damage. The Roto Rooter rep Brian came out and inspected and said I needed water mitigation based off the moisture in my walls. When I say the leak wasn't that bad, it really wasn't! He stated that my insurance company would cover it all and that he deals with my particular company all the time and not to worry. I obviously was taken back by the cost of almost 4k! Fast forward, my insurance company are questioning duplicate charges and Roto-Rooter is saying I owe almost 3k or a lien will be placed on my property! This whole water mitigation is a scam and the salesman did not tell the truth. They should have picked up their fans a lot earlier than they did. I'm sure they were trying to milk all the money they could. Over 5k for a bunch of fans in my home. I WILL NEVER REFER ANYONE TO THIS PLACE! Contacting my lawyer and will have my day in court if necessary. BUNCH OF SCAM ARTISTS IF YOU ASK ME!"

Excavation services FAQs
Unfortunately, some plumbing scenarios, like a broken sewer pipe repair, will require excavation to complete the job. Plumbing excavation costs range from $30 to $70 per cubic foot. However, if you need additional trenching, expect to pay an extra $4 to $12 per linear foot. Keep in mind that these costs are on top of the plumbing repair costs, and they don’t account for labor costs. Consult your excavation specialist to determine an accurate estimate for your job.
The average cost for pool excavation is $2,500. This cost can range from $450 to $4,500, depending on the pool shape and size, time of year, and any need to move buried utilities.
When excavating for your pool, you might have to move existing utilities. You can expect to pay an additional $15 to $25 per linear foot to move gas lines. To move a septic system, it’ll cost an additional $2,000 to $20,000. A pool that is 10 feet by 12 feet averages $450 to excavate, and a 20-foot-by-40-foot pool averages $3,020.
The cost for residential excavation is $3,200 on average, ranging between $50 and $200 per cubic yard. Total costs could range from $500 to $15,000, depending on the project type, yard size, and soil type.
When a project needs an excavator, the contractor will subcontract one as part of the larger project. If you hire an excavation specialist, you can expect to pay between $40 and $180 per hour. When excavating, if you have soil with excessive rocks or clay deposits, expect an additional cost of $200 to $1,200.
Warm weather seasons like spring and summer are ideal times to excavate due to the ground being softer and easier to dig through. However, it is important to note that bad weather, like heavy blizzard conditions or torrential rainfall, can prolong the project length, increasing costs. That’s why it’s best to avoid excavating during winter or hurricane season, depending on your home’s location.
While completing an excavation project yourself is possible, we don’t recommend it. You’ll likely need to buy or rent the equipment necessary for the job. This equipment costs as $100 per hour or $2,200 weekly, increasing by as much as 50% for larger jobs.
In addition, completing an excavating job yourself poses a safety risk. If proper marking hasn't occurred, you risk hitting buried cables and other critical piping, like gas and water lines. Additionally, if working with excavation equipment, you’ll need to steer clear of any overhead wires. Leaving this project to an excavating professional is best.
