It went well. They heiped get the manufacture to replace the heater for no charge. We had to pay for labor but still we didn't have to pay for the heater. Aaron was friendly and did a great job.

I contacted 4 plumbing contractors. The lowest bid was for $9,100. One said it would cost over $400 just to run a camera down the sewage pipe. Mr Rooter Plumbing ran the camera and suggested the City of Austin check it out. After a thorough check, the COA said all was well with our sewer drainage. I really appreciate Alex Castillo and the Mr. Rooter Plumbing crew for their honesty and expertise and I will use them again.

Although my malfunctioning pond pump wasnt an emergent issue, nevertheless they arrived within a few hours of my request and very quickly identified the problem and fixed it. I'm very pleased with the service. I asked Alex Castillo, the plumber for his card so I could have it for future plumbing issues.

So this is probably the best plumber I have ever dealt with in my 12 years of home ownership so far. First of all - this review is not only about Mr. Rooter in general, but specifically about the plumber I was lucky enough to use - Jason Henderson. The guy is a total BOSS! The work we had done was first of all to convert my electric cooktop to a gas top, and secondly, replace my water heater. Jason can out pretty quickly, got everything hooked up for the gas line and then when the inspector came out with his notes, Jason updated the little things here and there to keep it moving. The water heater was a whole other animal. The old water heater was 27 years old, so WAY out of code. Jason spent a full day removing the old one and getting everything up to snuff. He also went the extra mile of doing a final pressure test on the gas lines after everything to make sure that when the inspector came out we KNOW we will pass. There are so many other little things he kept doing throughout the ay that showed that he truly cares about his customers. It may not be much if I listed them, but to me and my family it was these extra little things that made a whole world of difference. I would definitely recommend Mr. Rooter to anyone as their prices and timing was top notch, but, more specifically, if you can get Jason Henderson on your job - DO IT! You will NOT be let down!

Scammers. Don’t let them take advantage of you. Improper diagnosis and installation led to more water damage to kitchen. Overcharged me by a thousand dollars. Refused to fix. Improper assessment of the garbage disposal that was broken. Charged me $1400, for a new one, and an hours worth of work. Two days later: New Garbage disposal doesn’t work. New pvc pipe put in leeks water under sink and onto kitchen floor. A disaster. Called them to talk about the issue and send “repairman” back out. Michael told me there was food stuck in the NEW garbage disposal that was the problem....... Refused to fix working pipe, or any other part of the job. Refused to provide hourly service quote and breakdown of services I was charged. Spoke to the lady who scheduled the appointment and she too refused to provide a breakdown of services cost and charged.

I will never use this company again. I had a gas emergency so I had to get this fixed. They did respond quickly but charged me 475.00 to install a 10 dollar part. It took all of 15 minuets. They took advantage of the situation. This is a rental property and I had to have the gas reconnected. So much for a flat fee. Beware if you call them. Their reviews are good so it makes you wonder. I do plan to give this information to the better business but I doubt it will do any good.

With the sewer line, when others stated I needed all new pipes down to city connection. They found the problem and replaced what really needed to be done and not just the entire line. They didn't charge extra to run camera and find problem either and stated the rest of the line was in very good shape, just the ground shift cause the problem and tree roots were taking advantage of that. The other was another property with a main line damaged by tree roots. They were on-time and fixed as expected. Price listed was ballpark for each property.
Description of Work: I have multiple rental properties and needed them to repair a sewer line and one property and main line at another.

It went very well indeed. John S. from Mr. Rooter here in Austin did an outstanding job getting the 50-year-old plumbing in this house working again--and this on the Saturday before Christmas. He was polite, manneredly, and clearly had mastery of his craft. I'm very grateful.

Great. Brett was super helpful (responsive and knowledgeable). He told me what he'd suggest for fixes, what I could probably handle myself and helpful tips for things I didn't even think about as a first time homeowner. Would totally recommend for someone who doesn't have a go-to plumber already.

They talked with me nice and completed good normal work. It was very expensive, I assume mostly because they did come after normal business hours. I asked them if they could send someone right away. They didn't give an arrival expectation because they had limited staff but the plumber stopped out to my house within 3 hours from my original call. Overall I was relieved that they stopped the leaking water before more damage could be done.
Description of Work: They fixed the main water line pipe. This required digging the pipe up out of the yard. Water was literally shooting up from the pipe in the yard.

I have used this plumber several times because high quality work is important to him. He even helped me make the best choices for a new sink and garbage disposal. I appreciate his attention to detail and the fact that he cleans up when he is done.
Description of Work: The provider uninstalled an old sink, garbage disposal, and kitchen faucet and installed a new sink garbage disposal and faucet. He also deinstalled a bathroom faucet and installed a new one and removed the debris from both projects.

Rooter-Man of Austin was called out for a service call placed with our home warranty company. The first Rooter-Man technician who came out was helpful but not able to solve the problem in a cost and time effective manner. David (the owner) came out the next business day and solved our problem without having to do expensive and time consuming repairs. His entire team was helpful and responsive in our dealings with the home warranty company. The $60 we paid was the service call fee for our home warranty company, so I don't know what would have been charged if we were dealing with Rooter-Man directly. But David did advise us of a short-cut solution that would solve our problem without the need for expensive repairs, so I feel assured that he would have been equally fair and trustworthy had we had to pay his direct rates.
