Terrible. I paid 3 times to have them out here. Was told I need a permit.. another $200... but they couldn't even fix it . Told by another business did not need drain field repaired... the drain field was dry. Waste of almost $1000 total. NEVER EVER AGAIN.

We are very happy with the service! Caleb was very through, explained our options, performed the service in a timely manner. He had to remove the toilet to snake the drain. He did a great job of replacing the toilet and cleaning up! I would highly recommend this company.

They seemed to know what they were doing and they worked efficiently to fix the problem. They communicated well throughout the process as they had to cut a hole in the ceiling below the plumbing. They did as little damage as possible to the plaster/lathe ceiling.

He came right out and snaked the drain several times ensuring it was clear. He tested the line and set the toilet back on the flange. He was very professional and explained everything as he went. He cleaned everything up after completion. I would use them again.

I had an outdoor faucet that had been dripping since late summer. I turned the shut off valve as much as it would go, but it still dripped. It was the outdoor faucet that I used the most so I needed it replaced so I could turn the water back on. Also, my floor drain in the basemant would overflow when I did laundry. I called Roto-Rooters to make an appointment and was told that their over time rate was after 4 pm. I had to wait until I had a day off since I didn't want to pay over the $149/hr rate they charge. Dominic was the technician that came to my house. I explained to him what I needed done. He explained a couple options for me for my faucet. I ened up just having the actual faucet changed since I had never had problems before with my pipes freezing. I had used Roto-rooter before to cleaned out the floor drain in my basement. Last time they came out and cleaned it out and that was it. Dominic asked me when the drain was overflowing (which was just when I did laundry.) He cleaned the drain out and then watched the laundry sink fill up with water. He noticed that the link trap I was using wasn't doing any good. The water would fill up and cover the link trap that the washer hose was going into. The link would then go into the water and down the drain which is why my drain was overflowing again. He suggested using a wire sock style lint trap and explained to me what they looked like, where to get them, etc. When I had called to make the appointment the lady asked what form of payment I would be using. I told her my visa debit card. When I went to pay after the job was done, Dominic asked if I knew there was a 3% handling charge on all debit and credit payments. I ended up paying with a check so I didn't have to pay the charge. I didn't understand why I wasn't told over the phone about the charge especially after I was asked what payment I would use. I told the technician that and he said he would make sure to look into it. That was really my only issue. I wish the overtime rate started later in the day for people who work during the day

The reason I called them was because they had done the service for the previous owner. However, they still charged $40 extra to locate the tank; Other than that, the price was in line with other providers in the area They were timely and neat.

Water was leaking from under the kitchen sink into the basement. We thought it might be a broken pipe from the way the water was spraying from the pipe so we called Roto Rooter. It was around 5:30 so they said it would be extra cost due to being after hours. The plumber was friendly and found the leak to just be a loose valve under the kitchen sink. It took him less then 15 minutes from start to finish to install a new $7.00 valve but we were charged over $180.00. The service was fine but the cost was very disappointing. Will be very reluctant to use them again.

NOT GOOD WOULD NEVER USE THIS COMPANY AGAIN....EVERYTHING IS STATED ABOVE
Description of Work: They were called to our home on easter sunday. Our pipes in our basement broke and needed repair. The gentleman that came out was not on time. Wasn't professional and was very rude. He was called back out the same night to do more repairs that weren't complete to begin with. When he came back the second time his overall impression was even worse. I don't like working with people that are going to treat their customers that way. One can't run a business the way that this company does and have a successful business.

It was excellent! Kevin replaced the drain. He stated that what he did may not solve the problem. When it didn't he returned immediately and diagnosed the problem and replaced the split piping. He did not charge us an additional service call. He was very knowledgable and friendly. We will definitly have them back if and when we have any plumbing problems.
Description of Work: We thought we had a problem with a shower drain. There was a very slow leak in the ceiling in the basement. Drain was initially replaced. Turned out to be a split pipe behind the shower head. The short pipe was replaced and the problem solved.

Description of Work: Kevin from RR previously installed a new Electric Hot Water heater, price is not relevant since it was done on a Home Warranty so my cost was $60. Key take away was that he was fast efficient and did a great job in about an hour & 1/2, including taking away the old tank. Subsequently, I had him back to install an electric Annode that I purchased online. He had never seen one before, but as a professional he quickly followed the instructions and had it going in no time. There was some electrical work involved as well, but that wasn't a big deal. In prior years, before I bought this house, RR had routed out a drainage culvert for the owner that went under the street, for approx. $250. Kevin is the only one I've worked with, and he is excellent. A good man as well. He has led the local Boy Scouts for several years here in Ceresco area. Don't think you can go wrong.

See above.. It was a great job. Highly recommend these guys.
Description of Work: I had previously (July 2010) had them install a new Electric Water Heater because my old one had rusted out, and they were prompt, courteous and professional and cleaned up afterwards better than it was before. Unfortunately we soon found out why the prior heater rusted out; the former owner had removed the annode rod to get rid of the rotten egg smell - it came back. I researched and got a Powered Annode which eliminates rust and the smell, and called Roto Rooter to come back. Although he had never seen a Powered Annode before, he installed it perfectly as per instructions; quick and efficiently. Great Service..and for those of you with rust and electric water heaters, the powered annode works great (google it) and eliminates rust AND smell.

A uniformed technician arrived within the promised timeframe. The company is locally owned and operated so I'm not paying for huge travel expenses or labor fees. The price charged was what I was quoted, plus the bonus is that my icemaker problem was solved. This company can do it all.
Description of Work: Shower and bath sink were plugged. Also had trouble with my icemaker line that the tech resolved while on site.
