i was unable to reach anyone. The service man was very responsive and helpful. He came out as his last stop to assist me with my problem. He was upfront about the possible problem. Luckily it was the lesser of all evils. He did a thorough job of clearing my lines and made sure I was able to use my septic prior to him leaving.
Description of Work: Rick came out and assessed my problems with back flow of my toilets, washer and septic tank. He was able to clear my lines and I was able to use water in my house without it back flowing and clogging up the septic.

I also had problems with the sink that the plunger when you open and close it it was not going up and down properly. I had a brand new faucet that I wanted to put in but because they were late. They called me early in the morning and said that whenever they would finish they could come. It was getting late in the evening and I never got a call back from them or anything. After he had left, the mechanism in the sink that opens and closes to let the water out, it was black and dirty and chalky. He took his hands and just rubbed it and if I had been thinking, he did not clean it properly. It does not close as well as the one that is working properly. I did call them up and I told them I was not pleased, he got there late, I wasn't pleased with the work he had done. They told me they would call me back on it, they never did. I would have used them to put the faucet in for me but since I got such a lousy response from them, I had someone else to do it.
Description of Work: I used Roto Rooter Plumbing about 3 weeks ago to check some leaking from my roof from the hot water heater after a long freeze.

The drains and toilets in our house were not going into the septic system as they should. Instead they were backing up into the bathrooms, laundry room, and kitchen. They came out on time and cleared the drains through the main line, and emptied out the septic system, 2 weeks after I had paid another local plumber to do but they did not. Unfortunately the "other" plumber is not on Angie's list for me to review. Roto Rooter workers were very professional and had to tear up our patio (because we found out the previous owner covered the main line and the septic tank with a patio). We discovered that the main drain line to the septic tank was a flexible hose and had caved in from all the pressure of the dirt and patio that it was covered with. Roto Rooter quoted us an additional $800.00 to dig up patio and change the main line, but we did not have that kind of money at the time, so my husband and son dug it up and replaced the line. Although I did not use them to dig up the patio and replace the main line; I am very happy with the work that Roto Rooter had performed and the knowledge the men had about the issues we were having. As the "Other" plumber wanted to rip out everything and replace it all including the tank and drain field. When we have any other issues or just need the septic tank to be emptied, I will be sure to call Roto Rooter FIRST!

It was a Saturday when the main drain to the house clogged, leaving me with toilets and bathtubs backed up. I called Roto Rooter and explained the situation. The service person was on a another call at the time, but gave me an approximate time he would be at my place and the cost for the afterhours service call. He also called just before getting to my house. Once he was on site, he assessed the situation and began work. Within 30 minutes the drain was running clean and I was writing a check for the amount he originally quoted. I was very pleased with the service. I could understand the service person's speech, he was polite and respectful, knowledgeable and efficient, and the price and timing were as quoted. I have and will continue to recommend Roto Rooter.

Terrible andwouldl not return to correct their problem. had to hire another plumber to come and fix it.. Have been using Roto Rooter for the past 7 years & have spent in excess of $6,000 with them but no more, I believe they have had some management changes in the past few months as service prior to this issue was good

It was a dream! We had a thorough discussion of what exactly was going on and of the room configuration. The gentleman said that they would be happy to come out and give me an estimate. However, he felt that the problem could be resolved by us for about $10. He walked me through the instructions on locating and replacing the washer that had likely (and indeed) worn out. He said that if that didn't fix it, they would be happy to come out. I was impressed with his manner, how respectful he was of our home -- even though hadn't set foot in it at that point. His fix worked, and saved us a lot of money. His response ensured that Roto Rooter will be my first choice for plumbers in the future!
Description of Work: I contacted Roto Rooter about a leaking faucet. I had concerns about the damage the repair work may inflict on our 60+ year-old 1" thick pine paneling that's on the reverse of the bathroom wall.

I noticed the line was clogged last evening. Called first thing this morning, within a few hours Rick from RotoRooter was here. He had the line cleaned out in no time at all then used the camera to inspect the entire sewer line as far out as it went. It was smooth and easy for me. I had no doubts about the technician's expertise. He was friendly and professional and provided me with ideas for prevention of future issues. I rated the price "B" or "Good" only because I don't like spending money. The VALUE of the service was a definite A++.

They were extremely professional. My leak was hard to find because there was no obvious water in the yard or the house, just an extraordinarily high water bill and a constantly spinning water meter. The master plumber did an excellent job examining my house and yard and came up with a clever way to first assess whether it was a yard leak. This was important for me to know in order to determine whether the leak would be covered by my homeowner's insurance; yard leaks weren't. They were always on time and performed professionally the whole time they were at my home. The work was done quickly and well. The cost was about $50 more than they quoted, but still a good price considering the long distance they had to lay the pipe from the meter to my house. Their reliability and professionalism was definitely worth the extra $50 bucks.
Description of Work: They located a hard-to-detect leak and installed a new service line from the meter to the house.

I am just now reading your review of our service to you last year. (We've just recently joined Angie's List.) Please know I don't like coming in above a quoted price and I don't know why we did in your case. I will do my best to see if I can find out why we charged you more than we quoted. You will be hearing from me. Thank you for your patronage, Don Barfield President/COO

I had no complaints with them. I paid more than what I felt that I should have. It was probably the standard rate. We have not had any problems after that. They did not come out the same day that we called.

Response from Roto Rooter Plumbing
I am not sure when this service was provided with 2011 and 2012 date both being used. It really doesn't matter the date when a customer doesn't know why they paid us a little more than they may have paid another company to pump their septic tank. Many pumpers pump out only the liquids from the septic tank and that doesn't do anything good for the home owners over the long period of time. The solids that are left are what causes the problems later on. When we pump a tank we either pump the liquid out and then pump it back into the tank several times to break up the solids that have created a "crust" on the surface and a "paste" on the bottom, or we use what is called a CrustBuster that mixers all the materials in the tank so it can all be pumped and no solids are left. Normally we are a little higher than other pumpers in our area but our customers get more for their money even though they can't see the benefits of selecting us as their service provider. (They won't see the benefits today but they will in the years to come.) I sincerely hope this helps all our customers and really everyone understand cheapest does not mean best value.

I had my septic tank pumped last year and the man who pumped it suggested that I had some problems in my drain field. I don’t take everybody’s word on things and I called to check on it. I called another company that says they do septic work. In the course of talking to the lady, she said they do plumbing too. This man came out and he was very nice. He walked around and told me I had no water leaks in the house, even though that’s what the other man told me. He won my heart right there. He knows what he’s talking about. I adore him. His service is excellent and as long as he lives I won’t call anybody else.
Description of Work: I used Roto Rooter Plumbing. He was a master plumber. I used him in the last month or two. I had a lot of work done. I had a faucet replaced, and then another one repaired plus some other things. It took a while and time costs money.

We decided to build a barn with a small living space, and requested estimates from three different companies that installed septic tanks. AAA was the least expensive, so I hired them. They arrived on time and on the date promised, worked hard the entire time that they were there, and the employees were very friendly. It was a very positive experience.
