The guy who came over seemed to pay no attention to the details of where the water heater was to be installed, though he did take pictures. The bid was a gross dollar amount, ignoring that the water heater had already been purchased. Mr. Rooter did not get our business.
Description of Work: submitted a bid with no detail. When asked for detail, they didn't respond.

They did a good job. They went above and beyond. They were professional and nice and the supervisor came out. It was a positive experience.
Description of Work: They flushed the water heater and cleaned out the drain in my sink. They fixed my toilet and they cut into a wall to identify a leak and they called a water and smoke damage company for me.

I wanted him to install my faucet and maybe something else done within the $200.00 credit. He stated to install the faucet would pretty much use up my $200.00 credit and would cost extra to do any additional work I wanted done. I felt like I was being over charged. I ended up cancelling and am having someone else from Angie's List do this service for me.

Response from Mr. Rooter Plumbing of Indianapolis & Central Indiana
Our technician found that there was a leak that had been happening for quite some time under Ms. [member name removed]'s faucet. She purchased a replacement faucet and wanted it installed for $50. Unfortunately that is much lower than our book price and we were not able to find an agreed upon price point in order for Ms. [member name removed] to allow us to do the work in her home. We left her an estimate for all of the work that she wanted to have completed in her home and our technician did his best to satisfy the customer.

Hired them to install a water based backup sump pump. They incorrectly hooked it up to the hot water line instead of the cold water line. Incorrectly installed the piping, so even if the backup pump turned on, the water would have gone right back into the pit. Installed a new sump pump as well, but didn't vacuum the pump properly. Rocks jammed the check valve. They wouldn't come back out to properly clean the pit. Never called me back like they said they would. They won't return my calls. Do yourself a favor and steer clear of this company.

Response from Mr. Rooter Plumbing of Indianapolis & Central Indiana
In December of 2013 we installed a water driven sump pump for Mr. [member name removed]. We did not know that there was any issue until April of 2015 when Mr. [member name removed]called our office stating that he had another plumbing company out to install a toilet in his basement. He was told by the other company that the pump was installed incorrectly and hooked up to an incorrect water line. When our technician went out to the home he found that it was hooked up to the water line in question. After speaking with multiple technicians and our Operations Manager it was found that there was no problem with the installation and that every plumber chooses to do it differently. It is based on personal preference. Our team went above and beyond and re-plumbed the entire system to the customer’s satisfaction, this would typically cost $1,000-$1,500, and we preformed all work at no cost to the customer. Mr. [member name removed] was also interested in us installed a primary sump pump for him and wanted a discount because of the situation at hand. Our team installed a primary sump pump for the customer for $200 below our already discounted price. Our technician was at the customer’s home for 8 hours because of the length of the work and the customer was never charged for labor. Later that night Mr. [member name removed] called and spoke with a technician and explained that the check valves were sticking. Our technician asked a few clarifying questions and agreed to return to the customer’s home the next morning. Upon arriving to the home our technician found that the check valves were no longer sticking and all was well. Within 48 hours of the job being completed our office team called Mr. [member name removed] to find out how things were going. Mr. [member name removed] stated that he would like to have the pit cleaned again. He was told that the office would check with the Operations Manager, on scheduling the cleaning of the pit, and then he would receive a call back. Our office team tried calling Mr. [member name removed] at the beginning of the next week to schedule a time to have the pit cleaned out, at no cost per the customer’s request, and never received a call back. There are no records of Mr. [member name removed] calling our office following the request call for scheduling. We regret that he feels that he was treated unfairly and not responded to. We are a company that stands behind our work and honors our warranties and we worked hard to work with Mr. [member name removed] in the best way possible.

We had a problem with a repair, and I was not satisfied. Not only was it expensive, but the undersink pipes 'disintegrated'. To my surprise, they called back later and a clever fellow came out and fixed everything. The first fellow I would not recommend, but Jim W. was very competent.

I heard a drip in the basement and went down to check. When I opened the door I discovered a basement full of steam. I realized the source of the leak and turned off the water to the house. When I called Mr. Rooter the lady said that all of the repairmen were working on other repairs and no one would be available that day (a frigid Friday). I asked her if they could find someone to come out as I had no water and it was Friday. She said that she would find someone. The repairman arrived at 6:30 promptly as promised and worked till 8:00. The job was done very professionally and I was so grateful to have water, especially hot water for the weekend. The repairman also corrected the existing connection and left me with the system I had paid the previous installer to do, but the previous installer hadn't done it correctly. It is done right now. They went out of the way and more than expected to satisfy a returning customer and help a person in very bad weather conditions. I am happy with the repair work, the service and the repairman's expertise.

We were assured that the hydrojet would clear the line. They came out again on a very cold day and pumped the water through our basement floor drain. I was told that we could use limited amounts of water and they wanted to come the next day and dig since the line was not clear. I went down in the basement later and the area was flooded with sludge. We ended up getting another opinion and the matter is being taken care of by another company. It is a complex situation. I called the office on February 27 and received a call back that he needed to contact his men to find out what happened. I called back on March 6 and 13 leaving messages. Still no response.
Description of Work: had a backed up floor drain in basement and called to get it snaked out. He came on Saturday, the weather was bad, and snaked out the drain, could not get it open, noted that sewage was backing up. We were not using minimal amounts of water. We got the septic tank pumped on Monday, On Tuesday they came out and used a hydrojet to try and clear the line. It didn't work. They wanted to come and dig outside.

We wanted them to fix an outdoor faucet, ended up paying a little bit more than the $200, that wasn't great but they were very punctual and responsive, so as far as that's concern, they did well. the outdoor faucet was leaking. Everything went fine and unfortunately, it started leaking not long after that but I just never called them back to get them out back to get them fix it. We didn't use it too much anyway because it was the end of the season.

They had agreed to come back and scope the line by running a camera through the pipe but they did not come back and do it. The first thing they did was unsuccessful. I had called them three times to ask when they were going to scope the line. They kept telling me they would get back to me, but I have not heard from them since. I bought a $99 big deal for this service but the total came out to about $800. They were pretty professional.
Description of Work: They first ran a bladed bit through a pipe. Then they came back and blasted it with water which temporarily fixed the problem. I don't know how long that will last.

When Mr Rooter dug up the asphalt and laid the pipes between the buildings, they failed to put in the required outside clean-out. Now I have clogged toilets and no way to access the pipes without ruining the floor in my building. I am not a plumber... I did not know that the only clean-out I had was located inside the building, and that to use this would damage the floor and make a huge unsanitary mess. That is why I hired a national company. I trusted Mr Rooter to do the job the right way. But they never told me this. They just laid the pipe, took my money and ran, not caring if the pipes could be accessed outside of the building as required. The office person said she would send out the Operations Manager to take care of the problem. But they just sent a tech. He called his supervisor and I was told that they would put in a clean-out for an additional $2,800. I told them that the clean-out should have been put in when the parking lot was dug up and pipes were laid in May, so I should not have to pay extra for this. Neither the supervisor or the Operations Manager bothered to call me to discuss the situation. I am left with clogged toilets and no way to fix them without spending more money to finish the job Mr Rooter failed to do right the first time.
Description of Work: In May 2014 I paid Mr Rooter $6,000 to install new pipes under the parking lot, from one commercial building to an adjacent one.

The first visit was quite uneventful, uncomfortable and the issue unresolved, although I must say the technician was very mannerful, which I appreciated. After having to get my husband involved on the phone and haggling the price, they agreed to come back with the little piece in question when it came in and fix it, but said that it would need further attention (full replacement) in a couple months. This was the alternative to cutting a hole in my house and replacing the bibb, which of course was much more expensive. They charged me the $89 Angie's List fee for a supposed $289 worth of work. I had to follow up with calling them a week later to get them out here to put the ordered piece in. So, approximately 2 months later the same drip was back. This time I called Roby's who we've successfully used in the past. They had it replaced and fixed in under an hour for $260 and went cleanly through the garage, not the house! I recommend ROBY'S PLUMBING!

I was having hot water issues and bought the Big Deal for a new gas water heater. But before purchasing the deal, I called Mr. Rooter to schedule someone to take a look at my current water heater to see if I did in fact need a new one. I made the appointment for Saturday, and a technician was sent over to take a look. He confirmed that my water heater was old and needed to be replaced. I then purchased the Bid Deal and scheduled the installation for that Monday. I had to take a half day off work so I could be home. When the technicians came, they took a look at my water heater and asked questions. They took a look at my pipes and tested the water heater (this wasn't done in the first visit). They concluded that my water heater is functioning fine and that my pipes were causing the issue. They then gave me an estimate for re-piping. Overall, they are friendly and quick to respond, but I am bit annoyed that I had to take a half day off work and wasted my PTO time when the issue could have been diagnosed during their first visit.

It turned out to be something I almost could have done it myself. There were no additional charges apart from the big deal amount. He was very good. He was friendly and he felt bad that it wasn’t more complicated than what it was. It only took about 2 minutes. He was good with responsiveness.
