The evidence — in reviewers' own words
Positive
“We have used Remedy Rooter for many years. From toilet fixes to a HUGE job with our kitchen remodel in 2018. Our most recent job was replacing our water heater. Graham was able to get us on the schedule quickly which we appreciated because we had no hot water. Juan, the tech, was knowledgeable and professional. He came on time and left the area tidy when he was done. We have been happy and satisfied with every job …”
“Eli has helped our office twice now and both experiences have been so excellent! We had a leaking toilet and a spraying faucet and he got them fixed like it was no big deal. He’s extremely professional, works quickly, and gets the job done right the first time. Communication was easy, and everything was handled efficiently. 10/10 — highly recommend!”
