Our verdict
Fast emergency response (15 minutes) and honest pricing, but one severe failure with repeated flooding suggests inconsistent diagnostics on complex jobs.

“3rd flood in 3 weeks after 2 visits from this company.”
Diagnostic failures on complex blockages: Single 1-star review documents repeated service calls (2 visits over 3 weeks) that failed to resolve basement blockage, resulting in 3 floods, with plumber declining to use camera diagnostics.

Positive

“I hired Royal Oak Plumbing Company to replace and install a sewer injection pump in my home. From the first text message to the installation day, they were transparent and responsive.
