Came promptly to the house and used snake on the main line. Seemed to clear up the problem, but a day later, the whole house was backed up again. They have a 90 day guarantee, so came back out, not so promptly this time (because technician assigned to me was held up at another job) and re-snaked the main line. Now all clear.
Description of Work
Our main sewage line needed to be cleaned out. Tree roots.

They are prompt but my main complaint was the price. The address is a rental and I was dealing with them from out or the area. I think for the work they did I overpaid but ,I was basically forced to get the problem fixed.

Happy Rooter came out and I was happy with their service and price. I have used them in the past and will do so again.. Their technician said that a pressure wash of a line is typically used by restaurants who have grease bulld-up in their lines. Happy rooter charged me $102.50 to clear my line!
Description of Work
The technician suggested a pressure wash on the line with an estimate of $535.00. I thought this was outrageous and told him so. He offered to run a snake through the line for $235.00. He gave a written estimate and left when i declined the service.. Technician's name was Joe (530)333-5960.

The dispatcher let me know a serviceman would call within the hour to let us know they were on the way, and they did. To start they would use a toilet auger, if the drain cleared the charge would be $175, This solution did not work. We were told it would cost $750 because the house is older with no drain cleanout installed, the serviceman said that he would need another person to assist him to access the drain from the roof vent. We told the man that we didn't have that money available so he would have to come back another time. He said that it would cost $100 for his visit today if he left without fixing the drain, and when we had the money it would cost us another $750. We were quite panicked because we didn't have the $750 and we could not afford to lose $100 and still not have the drain fixed. We agreed to have the work done, without knowing how we would get the money together. The second man arrived quickly and within 10 minutes of his arrival the drain was cleared and he was gone. The first serviceman cleared up the remaining gear and collected my check. I have called Roto-Rooter on several occasions after my service date trying to speak with someone about the bill; either no one answers the phone, they take a message and don't return my call, or the Accounting person is gone for the day. I thought the price for the service was 2X what I was prepared to pay and I felt forced to pay it or lose $100. There is no clear pricing structure and the terms and conditions on the back of the work order is so faint, you can't read them. I feel taken advantage of, I will never use Roto-Rooter again.

My experience with them was okay. He came, professional and efficient. He had some suggestions for future preventive maintenance. He did what he needed to do, explained what happened and he's gone. He was courteous, service was thorough, didn't take all day and that what I like about it.

Very well....best service provided ever compared to other companies used over the last 40 years!
Description of Work
My phone call was quickly attended to and Joe, the technician, responded in a timely manner. I discussed with him the nature of the problem which he evaluated and told me the options available to solve the problem. Joe fixed the clogged lines and offered suggestions. As a result I requested that his company follow up twice a year as a preventative measure. I am very pleased with the service provided and the professionalism of the company from my first call to problem fixed. Thank You!

One other comment is that when he told me it would be 3000.00 for a new pump I asked if it could be rebuilt and he called his boss and told me it would be 1850.00-2450.00 to rebuild. When I told him I'd like to see if I can find one cheaper he informed me that if could find the pump cheaper then he would have to charge me a lot more to put it in because Roto Rooter up charges for their pumps. I found out the pump cost 1100.00 and Roto Rooter wanted to charge me 3000.00. Additionally the company I called to rebuild it stated it would only be 400.00-550.00, not the 1850.00-2450.00 that Roto Rooter qouted me.
Description of Work
I had a problem with what is called a Grinder pump, which pumps sewage upgrade to the sewer. I was quoted 485.00 to fix it and asked for it in writing and he said he would give me a copy of the estimate but never did. He proceded to remove the pump and then informed me he tested the pump and that it was bad and that it was 3000.00 for a new pump plus 500.00 to re-install it and 500.00 for new electrical work for the new pump, bringing the total to 4000.00 to 4500.00 I told him I wanted to seek another opinion so he charged me 300.00 for minimal work to pull the pump. I took the pump to an electic motor rebuild company and the pump was tested and worked. Turned out the breaker in the electrical panel for the pump went bad and cost me 50.00 to replace. I put the pump back in myself and had to repair the PVC piping as he cut it right next to the inlet to take it out. So he tried to get 4000.00-4500.00 out of me and it only cost 50.00. Coincidentally, a week later my neighbors Grinder Pump alarm went off and they called a similar company called Rescue Rooter and were told the same thing that Roto Rooter told me, that it would 4-5 thousand. I intervened after having learned quite a bit and it was there breaker and floats which cost a total of 300.00. This is a scam and i imagine a lot of people just tell them to go forward with the work and get ripped off for thousands. Gives plumbers a real bad name and makes me think in a bad economy these guys are going to get whatever they can and most people probably get scammed. I would not call Roto Rooter if my life depended on it.

After they said it would be an additional $500.00 I asked them to leave. The next day I took a snake and unplugged my toilet in less than 10 minutes. I do not believe these people are honest. They have horrible reviews here in Seattle. Unfortunately, I just discovered them. I will never use them again.

They gave me a written estimate. They snaked my drain and then said it would be an additional $500.00 to get my toilet unplugged. They sent two trucks and two men. One just sat and play with his phone.

My house is over 50 years old, and the tap water is very hard. The trap beneath the sink had become completely clogged and when James Taylor, the plumber, attempted to remove it, the pipe/trap broke. The replacement of the pipe/trap and the installation of the new faucet did not go smoothly. This was principally due to the age of the piping and the extreme calcification of the plumbing throughout. What started as a relatively simple and quick job turned into a nearly day long ordeal for Mr. Taylor. Throughout the process Mr. Taylor was friendly and professional. He did good work under difficult circumstances, and only charged us for 1.5 hours of labor for completing something that took considerably longer. Overall, we are very satisfied with the work he completed.

It was coming loose and when I asked them about coming to fix it, they never responded. The base kept falling off all the time and eventually we had to have someone else come to fix it. They should have called me back to explain why they didn't come out to fix the problem. I thought it was very rude of them.

I am very happy with them and their services. I've been using them for some years now and haven't had any problems with them thus far. They come in and roto root and leave just like that. The prices are very fair and they always do a very good job cleaning up before leaving. I will definitely be using them more in the future to come in and do that septic cleaning work. They work fairly quickly
