Description of Work: It was for a water heater inspection. I bought a part for over $300. I checked with another business and they felt I had been taken badly. I'm 81-but not senile-just trusting.

Response from Roto-Rooter Plumbing & Water Cleanup
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We'd love to address your concern, however you posted this information to the Boise, ID Roto-Rooter location and we cannot find that they serviced you at the address listed. Can you provide an invoice number and the address of the Roto-Rooter location who serviced you so we can investigate further? You can respond to the review through Angie's List or email me at amy.whitworth@rrsc.com. Thanks for your help. We hope to get this resolved.

Description of Work: I am a working professional and have had issues with contractors that won't speak with the "woman" of the house. Won't look at, keep asking for the man, etc. That was not my experience with the plummer who fixed our damaged water pipe from RotoRooter. He made sure to speak with both of us and explain what he was doing and how much it would cost. He walked us through the process together and made sure we were comfortable with what he was doing every step of the way. Outstanding customer service. They also came out/called when they said they would so we weren't hanging out all day waiting.

Description of Work: Ruled out any plumbing concern and helped us identify our water in the basement problem. Did not charge us a service fee. Was such a welcome surprise. I will use them when I need a plumber, and I will tell all my friends and family. Didn't know such neighborly care and service was still available in this day and age.

Excellent service, showed up within the scheduled time, and fixed what needed to be fixed (and then some) at a reasonable price. Explained how to prevent future problems and tidied up before he left.
Description of Work: Blockage in a drainpipe caused my washing machine to back up into the bathroom (specifically, the bathtub). RotoRooter cleared the blockage and also cleared another slow drain to prevent future mishaps.

Initially, I hired Roto-rooter to show up at the house on 6/7/13 between 3:00-4:00 pm. When they didn't show up by 4:00, I called and they told me that they were 3 hours behind, and that they would still come, but that it would be around 7:00. As I do not live in the house, I had to cancel and reschedule for 6/12/13 between 10:00-11:00. When 11:00 rolled around, I again called to find out if they were even coming. They said that they were running late, but would be there in 1/2 hour. 1 hour later, the technician showed up. The scope, and his work were fine, in fact, he was very nice. However, his equipment was not. When I asked for a tape, he told me that since he is "the new guy," he gets the worst equipment and would be unable to provide me with video. Further, after he removed the drain cap, because of corrosion, he was unable to reattach it. When he couldn't find a cap that would fit in his truck, he told me that I "could go pick one up at Home Depot, or something." To their credit, I complained to them about this, and they offered to come out and re-camera the line, and they are also working on getting a new cap to cover the drain access. So, I do feel like they are trying to correct the problem. However, given the number of issues I had, and number of alternative rooter services available, I would not use this service provider again and would not recommend them to anyone else. UPDATE: After some wrangling, Roto-rooter sent out another technician who provided me with a video and proper cap. While dealing with the issue was frustrating, at the end of the day, they made it right, and I because of that, I would use them again.
Description of Work: I hired roto-rooter to provide me a video of the sewer line of a house I am purchasing. I do not live in the house, so I have to schedule around the current residents availability.

There was staff who pointed out few things I wasn’t aware of. They changed the hoses for free and then when we had another problem, which we didn’t they actually were the only company that I called that came and did a free estimate. I was calling all these other people who were really new here had them used. I brought Rooter people back again and they came. They had a pretty detailed list and said this is what they would change. They even went downstairs to look at the water heater, said it was fine. They were really helpful. Their price was comparable to others. We didn’t get an estimate from another company. Other’s deal was that they give the estimate and then they credit it back if we use it, but his thing was he wanted to see some estimates before he actually picked somebody to work and it is his house, so he can do it anyway he wants it. From my experience, I lived in a very old house in Auburn, California and I didn’t think they were out of line or anything. It just seemed to me it was not really low and wasn’t outrageously high. When they took care of the bathroom sink and did all of that, I thought it was really reasonable. They did a good clean up in the bathroom and other rooms, on floor, and under the sink. I had a good experience with them. I have no problems in recommending them.

Our washing machine drain was clogged. RotoRooter serviceman came out. He was due at 12:00 noon and arrived at 5:30pm because they were very busy due to severe cold in area bursting frozen pipes. I understood why he was delayed but someone should have called us periodically with an update (I called them). He worked on the drain for about 30 mins. and told us the drain had ice blocking the p-trap. Didn't charge us and recommended that we use an area heater to warm the wall and the drain, and to pour hot water down the drain to melt the ice. It worked and was clear by bedtime. All in all I was very happy with his service.
