Critical
“I had a very disappointing experience with Mr. Rooter. During previous visits, they only charged a standard diagnostic fee, and that fee would be applied toward the total cost if I agreed to proceed with the recommended work. That was fair and consistent. However, this time was completely different. No actual work was performed, yet I was immediately quoted over $400 just to move a washer/dryer to access the …”
Positive
“Your company sent out your finest tech to service my needs of clogged drains in my two sinks. Your tech, Brandon Farley is an outstanding employee who answered all of my questions and he showed me in detail what kind of work was needed and broke the invoice down in great detail for me. too. Brandon is an employee that all of you in upper management should be very proud of to say the least. Very satisfied!!”
“Mr. Rooter’s team helped me get through the unsettling experience of having to replace my sewer connection from house to sidewalk. They were quick to respond, very professional, patient and thorough in answering my questions, and mindful to keep the inevitable “relandscaping” to as much of a minimum as possible. Noah, Nate, Kyle, and Sam were some of this team’s members. Thank you all for a job well done!”
