Previously we had some problem with the same drain and it was under warranty and so they did not charge us. They were fine and they did a good job. He was here on time and he was very professional. Overall we have had him twice already so I did buy some chemicals that they suggested to use in my drain to help them keep the drain free and flowing better.
Description of Work: Two months ago I had Roto-Rooter Plumbing & Drain Services to snake out the drain line in my kitchen all the way through.

The person from Roto-Rooter Plumbing & Drain Services did a good job. He initially misdiagnosed it, later he did it. He was very good and he stuck by the initial price even though the work took him all day to finish.
Description of Work: I used Roto-Rooter Plumbing & Drain Services to fix the shower and the faucet.

temorarily fixed the leak but were higher than others.
Description of Work: Had a leak in the slab. They diagnoised it and offered to fix it for $2100. Then dropped to $1850. I got two other estimates for about $1000. They did their job and cut off water to the leak but I'd encourage anyone to check costs. They were also high on replacein a pressure regulating valve. I had no problem with their work -- just the cost.

I was installing a new sink and ran into some trouble. I called Roto Rooter late on a Friday night and they came within a hour. While not cheap, they were quick and fixed my problem and saved my weekend. Good service.

They charged me an arm and a leg for very little work. I feel like I was swindled. I was disappointed and would never use them again.
Description of Work: I was charged $500 to unstop one drain and to check another tub drain. They were only here for about an hour.

The first plumber gave an estimate of 400-500, plus parts, plus tax - on the day of work another plumber shows up and begins rattling on about needing to install shower faucet shut off valves in the wall. He then indicates it will raise the price at least 300-400, plus parts, plus tax. This does not include the shower faucet installation. After all this, desperate on Labor Day weekend, I was about to agree so that the tile would finish on time, but then he told me that he could not turn off the water to the condos. That is the owners responsibility he said. I found a plumber that could turn off the water supply, install the faucet and charge less than the first estimate.
Description of Work: Estimate given was not honored on the day scheduled to perform the work. Information necessary was not given at the time of the estimate.

The people from Rooter-Rooter were very pleasant and got right down to business. The job was done quickly and efficiently and there, surprisingly to me, was no mess left behind. Our drains all run much faster and efficiently now and I would certainly recommend their services to others with a slow drain in their house.
Description of Work: They cleaned out all the interior lines in my house from the two bathrooms, kitchen, and laundry room and then continued on to the main line that runs from the house out to the street.

It was a Saturday afternoon when we discovered a clogged drain. We called them and they were here within two hours which I felt was pretty fast. Even though the clog was in the sewer line, they went through the toilet and unclogged the drain. They also gave us a free six month warranty on the drain.
Description of Work: We had them unclog a drain within our home.

They did an excellent job. They knew exactly what to do to find the leak in the pipe. They found the problem right away and were able to get it fixed. They ended up finding the leak 6 inches below a hole that another company dug that couldnt find the leak. I am extremely happy with Roto-Rooter. They are knowledgeable. They were fantastic through everything and they handled the situation very professional.

I called these guys out when all the shut-off valves started popping off under my sinks. What a mess! They installed new valves and informed me my house was plumbed like a trailer house. I found this very offensive. Turns out the root of the problem was the high water pressure coming into my house so they installed a new regulator in which they didn't adjust correctly. I didn't think they did a very good job of finding the root of the problem. Of course, they charged me for all their mistakes.
Description of Work: They installed a new regulator to my house, new shut-off valves under the kitchen and bathroom sinks and garbage disposal under the kitchen sink.

The main Roto-Rooter customer service agent (at the 800 #) was very friendly, helpful, and professional. They said that a representative would be at our house within 60-90 minutes. Mr. Vargas arrived within that time frame, which was great because it isn't too fun having all of your sinks and toilets backed up! He was very professional and polite; he also took care to cover his shoes with protective booties every time he had to enter my house. He also explained to me a bit about how the whole sewer line, etc., works. The company does take credit cards, but the process is a bit slow because the representative has to call a main approval number and get authorization. Clear-cut and well done job!
Description of Work: We had a main sewer line stoppage and needed to have the blockage cleared. After a few minutes of searching, Mr. Vargas and I located the main sewer line cap. He went to work with his equipment and cleared the blockage. All of the blockage was cleared and we have had no problems ever since.

Our new water lines are now up to code and really nice. We had a couple of small leaks we didn't know about, and now our water bill has gone down some. Everyone at Roto-Rooter was really nice, and the guys who came to the house explained exactly what they were going to do before they started. One of the biggest factors in choosing them was that they gave us a full written estimate before we decided to use them to fix anything.
Description of Work: Roto-Rooter replaced all of the water lines under our house because they were old and out of date.

This guy is punctual and they are even willing to work with my schedule and even at night. He provided good advice, as far as, what to do if we were to encounter any problems. He was very helpful and does the job in the time I expect. He also does a good job of cleaning up after he is done.

They showed up when they were scheduled to. The man was very nice and respectful of my yard. I really didnt feel that there was a lot to say about their service, but I do feel that they knew what they were doing. They also sanitized our tank after pumping it out. I have had no complaints with their service.

This was an excellent company to use. They also trimmed some tree branches at no charge. We have never had any problems with their service. They were very friendly, nice and they didnt leave a mess at all. The reason for the Bs , is because they are not as good as Petrocellis.

Roto-Rooter did a good job of explaining what was wrong. Our air conditioner drain line was plugged and he had to clean the line. Also, we thought that we had a clog in our kitchen sink, but we just needed to replace our disposal. They are very nice and they clean up after themselves.
