Weak follow-up engagement on complex claims: One customer reported multiple unresponded requests for follow-up, walkthroughs, and documentation after mitigation work left the property uninhabitable

“Roto Rooter has been extremely easy to work with. We had a leak that damaged multiple rooms. They walked us through the process and even assisted us in reaching out to insurance for repairs to anything that needed to be demolished.
