They wanted $420 for a one-hour drain clean out. And that was with a $75 "coupon". Ha! I told them to get lost. With one phone call to another plumber and I found same thing for $150. Roto-Rooter must be a group of lawyers who do plumbing in their free time.

Not well. I ended up using someone else midway into project because of ROTO’s pricing and lack of transparency in the estimate process.
Description of Work: Although Roto Rooter showed up quickly and brought a full team, I learned after their initial visit that the initial project cost was at least three two times what a local company would provide. The project became a much bigger one - justified - but it was then overall 4 times the bid I obtained due to due diligence. In my follow up with a leader at the local Roto Rooter, I was told they would not even drive to my location without a minimum $5,000 project which I thought was telling. A few other things…they could not provide a detailed estimate and said their “job cost software” which provides a subjective estimate - in their words…I felt taken advantage of as a single female. This company has lived off its national, well marketed services but they have too much overhead and too slick an operation to be reasonable. Run don’t walk from this company. I did once I wised up.

Husham was the best service tech to help us in a potentially bad situation . He was very professional, listened to our questions and concerns, and gave us guidance regarding the next steps we need to take to resolve our issue. I trusted his evaluation and advice regarding what needs replaced. We will definitely be reaching out to Husham Al Shamary if we have any further issue with our sump pump and drain pipes.

We experienced a water line leak, the issue was identified on a Sunday and Roto-Rooter was available and quick to respond to our call! They quoted us for the repair the next day after detecting the location of the leak and were able to have the job completed by Wednesday! Great overall experience, high level of professionalism and urgency!

After 5 months with a whole new sewer line placed from our house to the sewer line we are still having issues. Even this evening we called for help since they claim 24hrs 365 days a year. Spoke with call center 3 times, dispatch 3 times, and 2 supervisors. All promised help was on its way. After almost 6 hour of waiting on the technician, the supervisor calls to say the truck broke down so they can't send someone out until the morning.

I called with water leaking from the bottom of the garbage disposal. I called late in the day and Roto Rooter sent out a tech within the hour which was amazing! Tech mentioned they were part of a 2nd shift that works later hours and on weekends which was extremely convenient. Confirmed the disposal needed to be replaced and we are exploring all options on best model, size, etc. Tech gave us a quote, let us know about extra discount, their card with the hours they work and made self available to answer any questions or discuss further at our convenience. The entire process was very smooth and we will be contacting Roto Rooter for all future Plumbing needs.

Great job. Done expeditiously and the employee was very friendly and offered helpful hints so the problem wouldn't happen again. The last time they were called for the same problem was in 2009, so I guess they did a great job!

We were very pleased with the service. We called on a Sunday afternoon, and were surprised that they were able to take care of the problem same day -- amazingly showing up at our house within an hour of the initial call. The gentleman who took care of the problem for us was very knowledgeable, courteous, conscientious and professional in every way. He did not want to leave until we were thoroughly satisfied with his work and had every question answered.

Ok. They were at our house with one hour on a Friday night. They cleaned most of the drain but the obstruction was impassable. The employee was prompt and courteous. Another employee came out Saturday at noon (on time) and used the camera and radar to locate the obstruction. A quote was provided to dig up that spot and repair the pipe. The quoted price was $4200 and work could start Monday morning. A major competitor came out Sunday night. The first thing they did was open the manhole cover to determine the street thickness (Roto-Rooter didn’t do this). Our street is 4 feet thicker than RR assumed. If the road needed to be dug up the actual work would have been $$$$ more than RR warned us about. The competition came in at $3200 And provided 5 escalating situations in price based on what was found once digging began. We chose the competitor. Also, the competitors base price for a drain cleaning is apparently quite a bit cheaper as well. RR is great if you need someone at your house immediately.

The service men came out within 24 hours of my request and on a Saturday. They cleared the clogged drain line within one hour.
Description of Work: A storm drain pipe outside the house was clogged. The service men found the problem; a tree root partially blocking the pipe path. They were able to remove the collection of debris within the pipe. Water now flows freely.
