The Roto-Rooter plumber was able to replace the hot water heater effectively and efficiently the same day I requested their service, several hours after I requested it. I was very pleased with their prompt attention to this matter as the water heater was leaking into my kitchen. Great job.

We saved a lot compared to a competing company (over a thousand dollars). The service was tremendous and they were able to do the job as quickly as the competitor offered.

The service person was pleasant. He kept me informed on the progress. There was no mess for me to clean up when he finished. He was very professional in his demeanor and work process. I would definitely utilize this company again.

Jim was very quick to respond and answered all of my questions. They were very easy to work with and got my water heater replaced in a very timely matter. I was not home when the project took place, but my dad was very impressed with the plumbers. There were a couple of issues with not being able to drain the old water heater due to sediments and some leaking when they removed. They had put towels down but a few rugs still got wet. Not really a big deal. So thankful they were able to get it done so quickly. Would definitely recommend Jim and his team.

Got the water heater fixed in a very professional manner. Fixed both the cold and hot pipes even with the difficulty of the hot pipe. Very knowledgable, personable, and professional.

Knew the problem with our water heater immediately as we described it over the phone. Was able to fix it same day and did so promptly. Happy with the work.

Sewage backed up into my basement over a holiday weekend. Called Roto-Rooter 800 line and Anthony was out within 45 minutes! Had to break through tree roots in my main sewer line and was out within an hour. Very courteous, respectful, and even helped clean a back up in our shower! Top notch customer service and reasonably priced.

The workers were very professional. The water heater was too tall for the space, and the worker said if he could cut a hole in the drywall to give enough room for the pipe to fit. He cut a small hole, and you can barely see it. Thank You Roto Rooter!

Didnt know Roto-Rooderr had plumbers! Just began their service and was there the next day , otherwise it would have been late next week. Too long not to have a hot shower! I was not sure at first but they sold AO Smith water heaters that are great. Now that was great service!

My experience with Roto Rooter was first rate. I posted my problem on HomeAdvisor and they contacted me promptly and gave me a couple options - repair or replacement of my water heater. I chose to replace it and Jim was able to locate a good replacement for me and get me scheduled the next day. The Plumbers arrived promptly and had my water heater replaced in about an hour. Even cleaned up well. Thanks Roto-Rooter.
