Caesar and Mike were awesome! Helped us both so much by recognizing what's wrong and fixed it. Both were such great help especially when we are brand new homeowners. Thank you guys again for the amazing work!
Delvin is a fantastic technician and an absolute pleasure to have in your home! He's so friendly and respectful, takes the time to explain everything he's doing and what the issues are, was quick to get to me and fixed my drain problem. I'd happily have him as my tech anytime! Amazing service!
Our technician Justin, was courteous and knowledgeable. Everything was explained to me up front and he quickly had the water flowing again. He arrived on time, and only about 30 minutes after my initial call . The service was more expensive than i anticipated.. but the service and quickness of the whole thing was appreciated.
Overpriced! Quoted $585 to unclog a drain if it took 35 minutes or less. Even stated no guarantee. Wanted to charge me $1000 to jet wash the drain. I’m a general contractor and do not understand why you would jet wash when a drain is clogged. That would get water everywhere! Please remember that they charge a trip charge even if they do nothing!
⭐ **1 Star because I couldn’t pick 0– Do Not Recommend** Roto-Rooter came out on Christmas Day for a downstairs toilet backup. The first tech pushed the clog up into our upstairs pipes, which made things worse. We paid $500, then another tech came the next day and tried to charge an additional $270 still without fixing the issue. We were promised a camera inspection after each visit, which never happened. We went three days without being able to use water in our home. When a camera tech finally came, he said it was a “tree branch” and left without offering any solution. Another company quickly found that the clog had simply been pushed up the pipes and fixed it. I’ve called every day asking for a supervisor …no return calls. Horrible service and even worse follow-up. Don’t waste your money. 0/10 recommendation
