I called at 9:00, got an immediate response and they said they would be there before noon, Within an hour they called to say that they were running ahead of schedule and were on the way. They cleaned the drain quickly and thoroughly, didn't make a mess, and did not try to sell me additional services. The price was reasonable, and the workmen were friendly and professional. Very pleased.

Their 24 hour number is useless.
Description of Work: I called the provider a couple times in December or January due to slow draining water and a clogged toilet. Roto-rooter never returned my calls or messages. At the time I had my grandchildren and my girlfriend's children staying with me and had to work 6 adults and children in one bathroom. I thought I had the issue fixed but my basement overflowed last night and starting around 7:00pm I called them again and once again never got a call back. I'm not sure where they offer 24 hour service but it appears it is not in Roanoke or at least not available to residential customers. I tried to contact their main offices but the links seem to keep rerouting me back to the local office that won't call back.

It wasn't their fault, but it didn't work. We're just getting to know our new house. The pipe we thought went from the french drain outside to the sump, didn't. They did everything they could with what they had, but it the pipe doesn't go from point A to B, it's not going to work. They were very responsive, pleasant to deal with, and got right to work. I would use them again.

Description of Work: Had a routine bi-annual maintenance sewer line cleaning scheduled. No show. No call to let me know. I had taken the time off. I called them and left a message wondering what happened.. NO return phone call!! The time before that, they showed up as scheduled, but the guy was extremely rude and condescending like he was doing me a favor. And I'm not hard to please. No, I hired YOU, sir. Not sure if same guy both times, but a nationally recognized name shouldn't be behaving like this either way.

Very honest and professional. He was tough to get a hold of and did take a little while to get out to the house but only because he was working at other houses. The clog was easier to clear than he initially thought so he gave me a cheaper rate. He did not try to sell extra services that didn't need to be done. I would definitely use Roto-Rooter again!

The serviceman, Mike, was great. He came in, surveyed the damage and then got to work. He explained everything he was doing, and explained how the piping worked from house to street. He also gave me tips on what not to send down the toilet---ie, those flushable wipes aren't so flushable! And he cleaned up after himself. I will still bleach it all down though. He was friendly, courteous and thorough.

They were great! They answered the phone in person without interminable voice-mail options, and said they should be able to do the job that day or the next. The technician called that afternoon to say he was on his way. When Mike (the technician) showed up he said something to the effect of, and quot;Just show me where it is, and I'll take care of it,and quot; in a tone of complete confidence. He finished the job in about half an hour. Everyone involved was very pleasant and professional. I would definitely call them again.
Description of Work: He cleaned out a stopped-up pipe that is runs under the house from the washing machine.

The plumbing was backed up into the sewer line. They ran a snake through the line. They stopped it, and I had no further problems. They were punctual and personable. They cleaned up after themselves. Everything was great.

Description of Work: Due to backed up drains I had to contact Roto-Rooter Sewer-Drain Service, (they arrived when they said they would) and had the problem solved in about thirty minutes. The young men, Wes and Damon, were considerate and left no messes for me to clean and they were very polite. Good Group!

They did really well but I didn't expect them to cost as much as they did. They had same-day service, they did their job well, and they did what they said they were going to do. There wasn't much interaction.

Overall, good.
Description of Work: My toilet would not flush. I thought it had a blockage. Someone had snaked it for me but the snake wasn't long enough. They recommended Roto Rooter because that's what THEY do. Mike was courteous, professional, clean and cleaned up after his work. Took the toilet out of the floor and spend about 30 minutes trying to solve the problem. Unfortunately there was no clog but he said the septic tank probably needed pumping since the other faucets and washer gave me no problem. He was right. Although he did not solve the problem, I feel sure he would have worked til he solved it if possible. The price is high but what isn't these days?

I called three days in advance to set up an appointment. I was given a time between 9-10 a.m. At almost 10 am I had not seen or heard from them so I called. The person on the phone seemed to have no idea about the appontment, and fumbled his way through the call as he regathered the name address etc and said they were still coming. They arrived a few minuted before 11 am with apologies for being tied up on another job. The quickly freed up the floor drain. They then moved to the washer drain (which connects tot he floor drain about 5 feet away. The floor drain was 165 dollars to get snaked. They charged an extra 50 dollars for the additional 5 feet of drain. I supplied them with shop towels for the job, which they asked if they could keep (I said yes). I had a coupon for 10% off and they took of $10.00 which is not the same thing (10% would have been $21.50).
