ARS / Rescue Rooter Cleveland

I’m very disappointed, I would have felt better if they would have told me up front they could not do the job. I have a small area on the side of my house so they were unable to get the equipment behind the house, so they act like they were doing something for less than an hour. The only thing accomplished was a muddy mess in my small backyard. The quote was $950 for up to two hours, now I’m out of that and still have to try to get someone to do the job. Next question was money paid yes service performed no.

I’m really disappointed, came for an hour, nothing accomplished except a muddy area in my back yard. I would have felt better if they would have just told me they couldn’t do the job. The quote stated $950 for up to two hours, they were here less than an hour, nothing done. I’m out of $950 and now have to look for someone else to try and do the job. Now I’m not sure who to believe, if I can get the job done. Next question was money paid yes no service.

They were very good, I had a good experience with them.

We were without our kitchen sink for a week and when our handyman failed with his snake we called Rescue Rooter. From the contact on the phone to the drain unclogging was about ONE HOUR. Everyone was friendly and professional and after a week without a sink I was in need of that. Kudos to Tracy on the phone and Greg who professionally dealt with the problem and tackled it. Great outfit and worth every penny!!!

Our job was completed in April and was charged $800 for a clean out with roots. They showed us bad roots and quoted a project ok $10k for new pipes. We just had another service come out and explain how much was NOT done in the initial clean out and the actual price of the pipes would be around $4k. Very bad experience.

I called Rescue Rooter because I believed I was having a problem with pipe(s) leaking in my ceiling. A same-day appointment was scheduled for me, which the plumbing specialist, Larry, showed up at my home on time. Larry professionally greeted me with a smile and proceeded to cover his shoes with booties before entering my house. Larry did a walk-through of my home from the basement to the second floor, carefully examining the walls, ceiling, and listening for sounds of dripping water. Larry determined that a water leak issue was not causing the sound I was hearing. I was very relieved and flabbergasted at the same time. This company sends out a Plumbing specialist with a trainee. They didn't come up with a pricey estimate of things to be done immediately, nor was there a trip charge, which is unheard of. I greatly appreciate the respect, honesty, sincerity, and the professionalism of "ARS Rescue Rooter" Plumbing Service. I'm a 70-year-old senior citizen, and I believe ARS Rescue Rooter" rescued me in every way. Furthermore, I suggest if you want to be "Rescued" from overpriced and unnecessary plumbing repairs, please call "ARS Rescue Rooter." Cris

After asking for a quotation, I received a phone call within minutes. I was given a 10-2 window; they arrived by 11:00. They listened to my issues and quickly assessed the problem. I received a ten percent discount after they completed the job quickly and professionally. It might seem pricey for the minutes they spent, but when I think of the cost of expert service I count the hours I would have spent in frustration trying to fix it myself. WIth that in mind, it was a bargain.

Very well. Fast, efficient, successful.

The two guys who came out were cordial but unable to resolve the problem. They offered to return the next day to try again and/or replace the toilet for additional dollars. I opted to replace the toilet at a lower cost.

Horribly. Contractor technician had to go thru finished basement toilet to jet blockage. There was no other clean out at time of visit. 2 technician crew came in and removed toilet in basement. They ran jet hose from front of house through garage and thru back door down basement stairs across finished basement into bathroom. They discussed they needed to have one guy start jet then yell to other to shut off if needed. I offered to wait at top of steps and yell shut off when needed. They started jetting and person operating jet yelled to me to turn off and I yelled to person operating controls at front of garage to turn it off. We did this several times. I came down in basement and found sewer water had backed from bathroom into half of finished basement. Contents of finished basement and carpet etc, was sewer water contaminated. Technician said he could not free up blockage and would call for small jet to try again. They left and then came back and supervisor also showed up. They ran new smaller jet and freed up blockage. They then sent camera into sanitary line and showed me damage to pipe and gave me estimate for repairs of $5000. and $7000. to correct. They suggested I call insurance company to file claim and all damage woud be covered. They also gave me name of clean up company that could come out to clean, They caused most of damage as there was only damage in bathroom and a foot or so of carpet before they came here. They walked with sewer coated shoes over carpet and excess jetting sewer water that leaked back into basement damaged carpeting. They told me that this was normal when having to jet out basmenet and insurnace will cover. Insurance did cover and blockage was removed. I received 2nd opinion from another contractor and they told me estimate work not needed and in fact there is a cleanout that was buried outside the house. Medina County engineers came out to check their part of line . They told me you never jet from inside a house especially when you have a finished basement. There shoukd have been some precautions taken to prevent jetting from backing sanitary sewer water back into house. I would never use this contractor again.

Plumber, Chris, arrived within scheduled window. He was polite and thorough, evaluating whether there were internal leaks, sump pump function and any back flow. He then viewed the outside wall and noted some defects, indicating that this was a waterproofing problem, not a plumbing problem. He did not feel that cleaning of the sewer drain was required.

Did the job

Basically it was a water heater.  I would definitely use them in the future.  They did leave the area clean when they were finished working. 

I was shocked at the final price. They charged me an extra $700 on top of the deal I purchased through Angie's List.

Went great! ARS was running late and they were very diligent about calling us and keeping us in the loop. Nate saw the job we wanted done and it cost us an add'l $75 in parts, which was less than we expected. Took him exactly 2 hours (including drive time to the store) to complete the job.

Home Depot or Lowes sells garbage disposal for $70 up and offers installation for $99. So when I got this $99 plumber deal ( for $200 service - including installation of garbage disposal ) from Angies List I thought it was a good offer. Before buying the coupon I called the plumber and talked about this service for which I am buying the coupon. I made it very clear they understood what it was for. I also ensured a technicial can come on Saturday 9/24/16 which is the only day I am home. On Saturday 9/24/16 Technician Bob came up and to my surprise, wrote up en estimate of $295 to replace the garbage disposal. The change a regular faucet - another $95. And when I asked how long it takes to replace a garbage disposal ? He says about 20 minutes. According to him he was not told that this was a pre-paid service. So he wrote up an estimate on the spot. Clearly the company and/or their employers are cheats and pathological lairs .

The service guy was very nice and qualified. The job got done in a timely matter. My only problem was I paid $ 99.00 for 2 hrs of service and I still ended up pay $ 129.00 , so I wasn't crazy about that part. But my problemschedule are fixed. And I am happy about that.

We had a bumpy start when the first repairman came over but our issues were resolved quickly.They fixed my mother's shower head and faucet and got the sink working. My mom was very happy.

$95.00 Dollars added on with discount and i had all the the parts. Got screwed for a half hour of work
