Our verdict

What reviewers report — the concerns
Other directories bury these. We think you should read them before you call. Every concern below comes from the reviews it cites.
Red flag
Critical no-show pattern on follow-up appointments: customer scheduled for next-day return at 9am, technician never arrived, dispatcher gave false status updates ('in traffic, on his way') for hours, then admitted technician never left and wasn't coming
“He just never came back the next day and didn't inform anyone.”
Red flag
Incomplete repairs on first visit with customer left unaware: technician cleared kitchen sink clog but missed backup in access pipe in opposite direction, promised return visit, then abandoned job without notification to customer or dispatcher
“He just never came back the next day and didn't inform anyone.”
Red flag
Unprofessional technician behavior under pressure: second technician arrived visibly upset about being scheduled late, left without explanation while customer was briefly away
“He just never came back the next day and didn't inform anyone.”
Pricing significantly above market: one reviewer paid $300 for incomplete work and pricing fairness dimension scored 20/100 across sample
“He just never came back the next day and didn't inform anyone.”
Keep it in proportion: these concerns are cited in 1 of the 5 reviews we analyzed. Most reviewers report positive experiences — see the full rating picture below.

Positive
“Joaquin explained things well and was patient. He did a wonderful job clearing the blockage”
“An outdoor faucet sprung a leak during the big freeze we had in January. Fernando from Roto Rooter quickly identified the problem component and fortunately had the necessary part in his truck. The repair was done in no time.”
