I don't even know where to begin with my experience with Roto-rooter. They have recently moved away from a structure where work is determined based on hours worked to a fixed price structure. This means that regardless of the length of time worked they will still charge a given flat rate. I had what should have been a fairly simple job of switching out a J-pipe in my bathroom sink for a brand new one. I will admit that my house is a bit on the older side but the sink has not changed in several decades. The first plumber came... read more

Called to fix an issue with my plumbing after the local emergency plumber couldn't get it fixed. Technician came out and said I would need to wait till the next day to get a camera to diagnose the problem, and that I would receive a call. Never got a call so I called myself the next day and they told me I would have a technician out by 2. Called again at 5 o'clock and was told they were booked out for the rest of the day. They asked when I was free the next day and asked if 5 PM would work they said it would. They call the n... read more

Used them to come out to my residence for a plumbing issue. The service tech came out and notated that nothing was wrong with my drain even though water came out from everywhere. I stated that I had once of their techs remove roots from my drain line 5 months earlier but he did not further checks. 1 week goes by and sewage begins erupting from my drain line, causing a huge mess in my basement. Tech comes out and once again says it's roots and charges $349 for the removal. Tech states there is a 30 day warranty on the root re... read more
