They are very disorganized. They kept saying someone would come out and no one ever calls or shows up. When they do show up, they do not know what to do and leave.

Wonderful! This could have been a disaster but Roto-Rooter tech Steve #0643 out of Indpls Branch #168 made me a Roto-Rooter client for life. It started out with an Angie's List Big Deal, that led to a miscommunication that could have been avoided if Angie's List had not had this "deal" listed because it was at the time not valid!! Steve from Roto-Rooter arrived on time, very professional installed pump and check valve. When it came time to pay the bill, which I was to have had $250.00 worth of labor done for $79.00 there were all kinds of problems because of miscommunication from all sides and Roto-Rooter could not honor that "Deal". Again I want to say I hold Angie's List completely responsible for this because if this had not been on their site as a deal...none of this would have happened, and their response to the matter was for Roto-Rooter to "unblock" so as to let me purchase this Deal. During all of this phone "haggling" the tech was helpful, respectful and finally through his talking with his supervisor took care of the "deal" themselves. What great customer service! I can assure you that if you need quality service with excellent professionalism and a company looking out for you, call my Roto-Rooter tech #0643 Steve at 317-538-0565. You will not be disappointed.
Description of Work: Installed new sump pump that I provided along with a new check valve.

At about 10 pm Sunday night water from bathtub drain suddenly began overflowing into my basement due to roots completely clogging the pipe from the house to the septic system. After mopping up the water in the basement, it was about 11 pm when I called the 800 number for Roto-Rooter hoping to get someone to come out by the next morning. To my surprise they were able to send someone that night to open the drain from the clean out access outside the house and also sent another person the next morning to check the line with a camera and found that all the roots were not gone. So they sent a third person to run an auger into the line again and get the remaining roots. I really appreciated that they came so quickly since the blocked line not only left me with a tub full of bath water leaking into my basement, but it also meant none of the toilets could be flushed. The first technician Chawng Vung worked on opening the line for almost 2 hours (until about 2 am) in the extremely cold weather to get out the huge mass of roots that had totally blocked the pipe. I will definitely call them again. The service is exceptional.

Our technician, Dave, showed up earlier than the expected appointment time, which was terrific. Dave was very friendly and polite. He immediately advised me of the $309 fee for the first two hours and indicated that if there were a more significant issue it would be just over $200/hr. We were lucky enough to purchase the Big Deal $79 for $250 of work and it helped tremendously. A truly great value! Fortunately, Dave was able to fix the back-up in about an hour. Dave was thorough in explaining the process and what he would be looking for as warning signs to bigger issues. I would recommend both Dave and Roto-Rooter.
Description of Work: The technician, Dave, cleared the sewage line that ran from our basement to the main city line. Dave ran the "snake" through twice, using a larger head on the second pass to be sure there were no roots or other major blockages on the line. After a couple of passes and draining the back-up, the issue was resolved.

It was pretty good. After 2 months, the drained got clogged up again. They told me that we had like a 3 months guarantee so I'm going to have to call them back to see if they would honor that.

It was kind of a problem because I ended up having to pay over $300 after paying for the service. I was really disappointed. The concern I had was it wasn't until they got here that I found out that what I had initially paid could only be used on one job. When I asked about having the $10-$12 faucet replaced, I found out that I had to pay extra for the labor. Availability was fine. Updated grade: This company followed up with me to discuss my concerns. I greatly appreciated their customer service after I expressed disappointment in my changes. In addition, they refunded a portion of the bill in an effort to address my concerns. As a result I have ungraded my review.
Description of Work: It was a big deal purchase. I had a running toilet and they replaced some parts. They also replaced a faucet.

Our experience was amazing. Our provider (patrick) was prompt, professional and friendly. The kitchen sink clogged past the sink trap and due to cold temperatures the clog then froze. He snaked the drain repeatedly while intermediately running hot water (manually draining/dumping the water.) He was patient and didn't give up until our issue resolved.

Serviceman was professional and knowledgeable. He convinced us not to install the sump pump we had purchased and tracked down a better quality alternate that would fit in our tiny available space. He did all of this on the same day, although the work was much more than we originally thought it would be. They also gave us a good discount since the project turned out to be much more expensive than we anticipated.

We were not displeased with the service, but we were displeased with how much the job was going to cost. They wanted to bill us extra beyond the price of the Big Deal that I had purchased. We had to compare their prices to other local providers in order to make sure we weren't getting ripped off. Their pricing was very vague and gave us no point of reference.

They were very nice, but the project ended up being much bigger than I had expected it to be, so I decided to return the dryer for an electric one, and not do the job. I would definitely use them again in the future.

It didn't work out. They advertised that it was for Madison County, but it isn’t. They never called me. I had to find someone else to do the work. I was very disappointed overall. The deal shouldn't have been offered to the people in Madison County and remained up on the website
