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
No-show on scheduled follow-up appointment despite customer taking two days off work; when customer called, was dismissed as 'not in the system' and representative abruptly hung up.
“no one called or showed up. I was told I was not in the system.”
Red flag
Staff rudeness and dismissive tone during billing disputes: employee was 'incredibly rude,' interrupted customer constantly, and spoke condescendingly; manager offered to 'maybe do a favor' instead of addressing concerns professionally.
“no one called or showed up. I was told I was not in the system.”
Red flag
High score variance (30) with only 5 reviews indicates extreme inconsistency in customer experience—excellent service on some calls, but severe failures on others.
“no one called or showed up. I was told I was not in the system.”
Pricing significantly higher than competitors; one reviewer noted 'extremely high compared to the national average' despite professional service, and another received a $20,000 quote after in-person estimates of $7,500–$14,000.
“no one called or showed up. I was told I was not in the system.”

The evidence — in reviewers' own words
Critical
“Here’s a more polished and professional version that still clearly conveys how frustrating the experience was: Extremely disappointed with my overall experience with Roto-Rooter. The initial service for unclogging a sewage backup in my basement was excellent. The customer service representative was helpful, and the technician, Jude, arrived within two hours. He was professional, explained everything clearly, and …”
Positive
“Bryan was exceptional from start to finish. He was incredibly thorough, taking the time to walk me through every step of what he was doing. His explanations were clear, informative, and never rushed. I appreciated how he laid out his recommendations in a way that made sense. A professional… knowledgeable, respectful, and genuinely committed to doing the job right. Highly recommend.”
“Excellent and professional interactions. Very personable and professional technician. He seemed completely confident in his expertise and experience without being dismissive or condescending in any way… he was completely capable of handling our issue. Price was extremely high compared to the national average. It was explained as a set price no mater how long the job would take which could be beneficial for what I …”
