He ran a 'snake' down our laundry drainpipe to remove the clog. The first time the clog was not completely removed so that when we did another load it backed up but he came back when we called at no charge and ran the snake down again and got the entire clog out. Was professional and quick.

They said I would need one! Last year I used Roto-Rooter and they were great. They told me my water heater was old and needed to go. Well here we are a year later and my water heater died :( Ronnie replaced my water heater and let me know my water line and gas line should be replaced also. I didn't question it this time and had him do the job. Fair price, great service.

I called two companies besides this one to get an estimate on replacing an old toilet. I ended up using roto-rooter, because they gave me options and explained what I was getting. They just seemed to know more than the others. Calvin installed the toilet, which he called "the cadillac of toilets" and everything is working great. I will use them again.

It went great. I've used them before and have always had a nice experience. They were booked the day I called but I waited until the next day. They are worth the wait. Paul was one of the nicest people I've ever had in my home, he explained what he was going to do and why, and fixed my problem. He didn't leave a mess and wasn't here very long.

I had a really positive experience with them. The only problem I had they charge by the drain and the last time they were out; there were emergency stuff in the bathroom that they had to clean up afterwards. It's the first time since I've used them that the guy was impeccable but honestly; I would call them again. They have the correct tool to do the job.

The service I had done was my sewer line needed cleaning out, its pretty much a yearly thing with a old house. Jacob was very professional and on time. He showed me the roots and grease that was in my line and made sure the sewer line was flowing like it should. It was one of the smoothest dealings I had with a plumbing company.

Service man did what he is supposed to do, used water pressure to attempt to clear out outdoor drain line..Unfortunately, he was not able to do very much even with the hydraulic pressure. There are likely roots in the line, or the line is collapsed, so he was not able to make them free-running. We are not positive what the specific problem is and I will have to dig up the line at certain areas. Service man did what he was supposed but water pressure was not able to clear the line. There are other issues here that I will have to employ to fix the problem

Took several tries to get the snake to go the right direction, but he finally got the roots that were clogging the line. Also replaced the shut off valve and the mounting flange for the toilet. Plumbing and fixtures were original from 1964 build. (I had a new toilet being installed in a few days, as well as ALL water shutoffs replaced, by someone else.)
