The tech, Chris Lane, for Roto Rooter was on time, friendly, knowledgeable, polite and ready to help with our problem. He kept working until he finally unclogged the drain. He was personable and nice to work with. Chris did an excellent job! Roto Rooter kept in contact with us on the phone as to when we should expect Chris Lane to arrive. We would definitely call Roto Rooter in case of another such problem.
Description of Work: cleaned out main drain to street from our gutters.

Roto-Rooter answered the phone late at night when I realized my sewer was backed up. They were very responsive and set me up with an appointment right away. They also directed me to call the town first to come check out the issue to make sure it was not the towns fault. It was of course on mine side of the property. David took care of the issue and was great to work with and soooo nice. Thanks David and team for helping me out.

We had previously used the company to repair a toilet approximately a year ago. Another toilet in the home was having the same issue so we called roter rooter to repair. When they arrived their estimate was $280. We declined. I ended up fixing the toilet with a $3 part (the flap) myself. For $280 I could have a NEW toilet installed. I feel that the company was price gouging. I will NEVER call them for service again.
Description of Work: Overcharged - price gouging.

I bought the $25 for $75 service. I called the provider and scheduled service. I asked what was the minimum charge for coming out and was told there was no trip charge. When the provider arrived he looked at my washing machine which had a very slow intake of cold water due to buildup from being on a well. He told me what he thought he needed to do and that it would be $199 minimum. I thanked him and said we would get someone else to do the work. I called a different plumber that I found by googling. His minimum trip charge was $85, and that's what I paid him and my washer is working well again. I'd like my $25 back but didn't think it was worth fussing about.

He called ahead of time to confirm appt., was friendly and professional in manner, and handled the plumbing problem resourcefully and swiftly. On the other hand he seemed unaware that this was an Angie's List appointment, and wrote a bill for $199; I had to download a copy of the Angie's List coupon and print it out for him, and then he re-wrote the bill for $124.
Description of Work: He opened up the hot water connection at our kitchen sink, cleaned the worn threads of the existing male connection, applied compound and teflon tape and reconnected the joint.

I called at 9:30 Monday morning for a problem we were having with our shower faucet, and Herbert was out to look at it in less than an hour. He was extremely pleasant, professional and knowledgable, and explained all the options; he even gave me tips on how my husband could fix it himself. Although we didn't actually use them for the repair, I can't thank and recommend them enough. I wouldn't even consider calling anyone else for our future plumbing needs.

I called late at night after I had a flood from a backed-up drain and they scheduled me for the first appointment the next morning. The technician was courteous, professional, fixed the problem, cleaned everything up,and triple checked that everything was working perfectly. He left me with a 6 month guarantee of service, and a preventative pipe conditioner to use on all the pipes in my home. The service seemed very expensive, but the service itself was great.

Jack came out and was simply wonderful - prompt, knowledgeable, professional, friendly, trustworthy. My undermount kitchen sink had become dislodged from my countertop and I had called several providers about coming out to take a look. Roto-Rooter sent Jack out who reported to me that given the situation it could be a costly repair if I had a professional do it (necessitating more than one visit to my home), but, instructed me how to do it myself for next to nothing (and I did it!!!). Roto-Rooter might have lost a profit on this visit (a Sunday appointment, so convenient for those of us that work, for the estimate was free of charge), but the good-will Jack engendered is priceless. Next time I have a plumbing issue I'll call this Roto-Rooter branch, and will recommend them to others as well. Thanks Jack!

They did come out and took at the issue that I was having. They determined that it was just a loose hose, but they wanted to charge me $200. I questioned this and then they tried to sell me drain cleaner that I did not need. In the end, I ended up not paying anything, but I do not like being asked to purchase something that I do not need.
