The evidence — in reviewers' own words
Critical
“I paid three thousand and problem is still not fixed sink still fills up with water water shoots up outside when I called they wanted to charge me more for something they didn’t fix a waste of money terrible service do not use them a waste of money!”
“I cannot recommend Mr. Rooter plumbing. I was in shock when they finally gave me a price of the ‘customer supplied tankless hot water heater install” that was $2233 which was $600 more than competitor quotes. They were not transparent with pricing up front which would have helped in making my decision to chose a different installer. They also mislead me by stating I could save by helping out and supplying my own …”
Positive
“I had an emergency sewage line issue at my complex, and the tech was great about it. Very quick response time, was understanding friendly, and easy to work with. His communication was on point, and was quite knowledgeable about the situation. Would definitely recommend to anyone.”
“I needed a new hot water heater immediately. They showed the next day. Gave me hot water before an important trip. Installed the day after I returned.”
