“Our main line at our office was clogged & toilet not flushing. Other plumbers quoted us five grand! RHINO came out right away the same day and was able to jet our line clear for a fraction of that price saving us thousands! Super professional, highly knowledgeable and customer service oriented.”
“Ryan at Rhino Rooter was a total lifesaver. We went all Sunday without being able to use any water due to a main sewer line clog. A large chain plumbing company spent an hour trying to fix it with no luck and then quoted us $2,000 for the next steps. We called Rhino Rooter for a second opinion, and Ryan came out late on a Sunday, quickly cleared the clog, and charged only a few hundred dollars. He was professional, honest, and efficient.”

The evidence — in reviewers' own words
Critical
“Ryan came by to inspect the problem caused by water logging on the ground from incomplete drainage of water from the down spouts that connect with the gutters on the roof of our house on April 17, 2025. My wife told him we have quality gutter guards (with mesh) cleaned twice a year but despite that we have a problem. She said she had seen online reports that "hydro-jetting" a process that involves clearing blockages …”
“When everything works out it's great, but when there's a problem that's when you find out the integrity of a contractor. And my callback would have been a few minutes fix. Being strung along is frustrating especially after you pay a little chunk of cash. Paying someone else to correct the fix is disappointing but you have to move on. Solace is telling the 4 neighbors who asked me last week if I knew a plumber--who …”
Positive
“Just stepped out the shower, steam still in the air, Wifey ’bout to hop in, towel wrapped in her hair, Then the tub start talkin’, made a gurgle so foul, Black water bubblin’ up — yeah the vibe turned vile. Wouldn’t drain down, just sat there mean, Lookin’ like a swamp monster audition scene, Midnight crisis, who we gonna choose? Scrolled through the numbers with the midnight blues. Rhino Rooter pulled up, no …”
“Our garbage disposal stopped working. I called two companies before calling Ryan at Rhinorooter. The first two companies asked for all of my information, wasted a bunch of my time and offered no help. Didn’t even call me back! I then tried Rhinorooter. Ryan himself answered my call and offered to stop by that same day! What’s even better is he gave me some useful tips to fix the situation myself, resulting in no …”
