Ryan and Steve from Roto-Rooter did an amazing job. They were patient with me when I was trying to explain the problems I was having and they both took the time to explain the issues and resolutions in a way I could understand. Not only did I understand why I had the blockage I know what to do to prevent future clogs. I will need work in the future and will be using them. This company is 5 star and I recommend to anyone in need of plumbing.

Had an absolutely phenomenal experience with no leak meek. My plumbing line was making a constant loud screech. I was nervous that it was going to be a major fix. No leak meek came in and looked at it, told me it just needed one part replaced. I cannot thank them enough for all the help and great service they provided for me. HIGHLY recommend going to them with all of your plumbing needs.

Ryan was a true godsend. He came out on a Saturday evening and spent 3 hours clearing a major clog in my line. He was professional and did an amazing job informing me along the way. He also did an amazing job with the cleanup afterwards. It was a very good experience and I was so impressed with everything. I highly recommend!

Jonathan from Roto-Rooter installed my new toilet quickly and efficiently. He went above and beyond by offering to break down my old toilet so I wouldn’t have to haul it to the dump—a level of service that’s rare these days. He was courteous, highly professional, and exceptionally thorough. I highly recommend his work.

Awesome. Taisei was a super plumber and saved our day on the Fourth of July. He performed skillful work when our hose bib pipe cracked, resulting in a leak. He repaired and replaced all the necessary parts and even went above and beyond.

Robert Horan

Had a leaking come from an area of our downstairs bathroom, Ryan came out and found that it was due to a bad wax seal under one of the toilets. Ended up being a big leak and found it sooner than later. Also had Ryan replace some valves and did a great job in doing so! Very professional, knowledgeable and helpful when it came to discussing options for the leak repair. Great service all around!!

The technician Taisei was polite but this was horribly overpriced. He arrived at 7pm and said that I needed a new water heater in 15 minutes which is not a surprise. I figured that out before I scheduled an appointment online that morning. He then left to get parts and the water heater at 745pm and wasn't back till after 9pm. The dispatch sent me a notice through the app saying it was rescheduled for the next morning so I had to get everyone on the phone and have him call me back to confirm he was coming back to complete the job because the old heater was already removed and water disconnected. When speaking with dispatch to find out what happened and why the technician wasn't going to return to the house, all they could say was we don't know he scheduled it for tomorrow morning. When I explained that it was not discussed with me and I was told he was coming back, dispatch said well there is nothing they can do and the technician is off tomorrow so it will be someone new and will need to start the project all over. Mind you my water was already cut off, the old water heater broke down. He returned but had to leave a second time to get more parts he was missing. He started working on setting up the new heater close to 945 pm and completed the job by 11pm. The new water heater from Lowe's - 40gallon - $500 and I was charged an additional $1800 for additional parts and labor for a total trip charge of $2300. The website states no overtime charges for nights, weekends, or holidays but an additional $1800 is crazy. I asked for an itemized breakdown for all of the parts and hourly rate for labor because it was so much and he couldn't provide it to me and told me that is likely something he is not allowed to do and to take it up with his manager the next day. When I asked him again why it was so high, he stated they are told to take everything and automatically double it. I'll never use them again. He wanted me to do the Google review before I got the bill. $800 (so $200 per hour or $400 per hour for actual onsite work) for Labor and $1500 for parts??? I asked him to explain how 2 feet of copper plus joints and joining compound is $1000 and the technician could not explain it.

Had to have my main sewer pipe cleared, and while he was here he pointed out a leaking wax ring. He found the outside clean out that three other’s couldn’t find. VERY pleased with the tech and the over all service.

Our water heater had sprung a leak and after shutting off the water and doing some research, we chose Roto Rooter to come out for service. We were able to schedule an appointment for the same day (on a Saturday) and they sent out Ryan to take a look. We had such a good experience with Ryan. He is extremely knowledgeable and takes pride in the quality of his work. He went above and beyond to make sure the job was done right for our family. I would use him again without hesitation and highly recommend him to anyone with any plumbing need.

I had issues with my piping and sink drains being out of alignment due to having granite countertops installed and the new sink being deeper and a little narrower. Devante came to the rescue and got everything situated for me and he was also much earlier than expected which was great! He got things finished in a timely manner and the price was reasonable. Thank you!!!

Wonderful service technician by name of Mr. Garnett. He stayed and worked on the plumbing until it was fixed!! Never gave up and it meant so much to us especially since my parents are elderly and can't fix things on their own like they used to. He definitely deserves a 5 star rating!!! Very trustworthy and honest too! Thank you again!!!

Mr. Ryan was very professional and did an absolutely outstanding job with his work on this job. He was also patient and understanding with my special needs son which was a huge relief personally as a dad. He was clear and upfront about what needed to be done. Can’t ask for any more than that. I hope I never have to call a plumber again. But if I do, I will only call roto rooter and specifically ask for Mr. Ryan. Thank you again sir.

The kitchen sink main drain pipe was clogged up and water was filling up in both sinks.

A guy from Roto-Rooter came through and made sure that the kitchen drain pipe was cleaned out from debris, and other things that would cause the drain pipe to clog up.

He also went outside the apartment to clean out the main drain pipe, we can now run water in the kitchen sinks without it clogging up. He did an excellent job, was very kind and professional. Thank you again!

My toilet overflowed at 10:30pm and Roto-Rooter was there at 8am the next morning. Everyone who came out was very helpful and answered all of my questions. Ryan even found a clog in the shared pipes outside of my condo unit so I was able to pass that along to the property manager to get it fixed before someone else has an issue

When choosing a roofing company, consider their experience, customer reviews, warranty offerings, and quality of materials.

6. How do you know if your roofing contractor is ripping you off?
+-

Warning signs that your roofing contractor might be ripping you off include vague contracts, pressure to pay large upfront deposits, lack of proper documentation, and unexplained price increases. Always ask for itemized estimates and written guarantees, and avoid contractors who avoid answering your questions directly.
