Was charged over $600 for maybe two hours work on a water heater, which included going for the parts. Quoted $4000 for a new one.??????I will never give them my business again nor ever recommend them. Their website site for reviewing would not take my information.

I wish I had read these reviews before I called these shysters last weekend when my 20 yr old son, called to say sewage had backed up into the basement and was coming up thru the shower drain and out of the toilet, which overflowed raw sewage into the bathroom floor and out into the carpeted area outside the bathroom. He cleaned it all up once but then it reoccurred. We have never had plumbing problems before in this bathroom so it was puzzling. I called a lot of plumbers but it was a Saturday and most were closed but two of... read more

Just why isn't there a "MINUS 1"? Actually, a "MINUS 10" is more accurate for rating Roto Rooter.RR came out a few days ago and "went through the motions". After their initial visit costing $224, I had to call them back after I flushed the toilet the * I R S T time. They came right back out and charged $75 telling me that I had used too much toilet paper.I then called a reputable plumber who detected the blockage and has scheduled a "camera" that can determine the exact location and size of the obstruction. THEN the problem ... read more

Quoted us $600 to fix a leak from my shower. Was unable to find leak and still charged me $600. The plumber seemed uneducated either that just didn't want to perform the service. For some reason he took my toilet apart and snaked it when that wasn't the issue. Seems like he just did something to get paid.

I called RotoRooter to come and fix a clogged drain. When the technician came he went down into my basement with a snake to go into the drain, to see what the problem was. In the middle of his findings he advised me that he needed to call a friend of his that have a camera he also advised me that this will not be of any expense to me. "I will pay"... When his friend came he saw that there was a piece of the snake broken into my drainage. The only persons that have ever worked on my drainage issue was RotoRooter. The technici... read more

We contacted Roto-Rooter because our washing machine was causing water to backup into a wall. We shared we had just bought a house and believed the problem was the washing machine pipe had a 2 inch output whereas the wall drain was 1.5 inch. They sent a "drain technician" to the house who said he didn't think that was the problem and said the line just needed to be cleaned. He snaked the line and sold us a cleaning solution. Total cost was over $500. Right away, as soon as we did a load of laundry, the same thing happened. T... read more

Called our local Roto-rooter to clear our French drains and was told a technician was available and that they would be right out to give us an estimate. 2 1/2 hours later two representatives showed up and my husband met them and proceeded to show them the layout of our drains. He was dismissed midway and told that it didnt matter and that it would be $1500.00. He said that they hadnt been shown the full picture but to that the man replied that it would still be no less that $1500.00. My husband paid them for a service call a... read more
