Our dishwasher was leaking.  I called to have it fixed.  A plumber came out on a Saturday since it was an emergency.  He spent 20 minutes at our house and told us that the dishwasher would have to be replaced.  No actual work was done.  He charged us $160.  I can understand a small fee for his time (again, UNDER thirty minutes), but this was outrageous.
Response from Mr Rooter Plumbing of Richmond VA

"Valued Customer, I apologize you were unhappy with the service we provided. Our technician did respond on a weekend to diagnose the dishwasher and found that the problem was within the dishwasher. I do see on the invoice from January 25th that the charge was our standard diagnostic fee, which is less than what has been stated. On the invoice the technician also noted that a portion of the diagnostic fee would be credited to installing a new dishwasher in the future. In looking further into the job, I do remember that I had spoken with Mrs. **** after the weekend service call regarding the diagnostic fee. After the second phone call from Mrs. ***** we were under the impression that there was a clear understanding of the events and the standard service charge, if there had been any indication that there was still unhappiness regarding the charges, I would have forwarded all of the information to our owner. We make every effort to ensure our customers are happy with our service and are sorry that we were unable to repair your problem. Respectfully, Mr. Rooter of Richmond"

The service went extremely well. I had service during a stretch of very cold weather here- and in my older home it caused multiple issues. They fixed the plumbing problems quickly and expertly, and were always in touch about the next steps, offering quick scheduling that worked with my schedule, and evening service times so i wouldn't have to miss a lot of work.
 I felt very well taken care of by all of their technicians, and they were all friendly, professional and funny, which really helped soften the blow of this huge mess.
Overall- i have had some serious issues at my house in the past year, and i enjoyed working with this company the best.  The broken pipe outside was an easy fix luckily, but the broken pipe inside was a true mess. I was very upset, and they worked quickly, cleanly and did an excellent job explaining what to do next, even offering me free advice on how i can fix some items myself.
I would not hesitate using this company in the future, and would absolutely recommend them for any future plumbing jobs.

We had just moved to Richmond from Texas, and we ended up
having a major sewer line issue.  It started out as a nightmare, dealing
with a couple companies through the Home Warranty?.it was a blessing in
disguise that after the initial service call, we had more issues over the
weekend and the Home Warranty vendor wouldn?t even call us back, so we were
approved to use our own company.  After checking Angieslist, we called Mr.
Rooter.  It wasn?t until late Sunday night after completing another big job,
but Mr. Rooter made sure to send a service man out.  He immediately was
more knowledgeable and did what he could that night?we ended up needing a
camera scope which led to discovering a busted sewer line. 
From that point forward, the situation just got worse but
Paul and Heather were absolutely amazing.  Once the crew started digging,
they uncovered that someone had nicked the line and tried to ?repair? it with
electrical tape, a Verizon FIOS had bored their pipe right through our sewer
line, and a huge boulder had been left crushing our sewer line from the
original build.  Both Paul and Heather worked tirelessly to find out which
utility companies had done the damage and worked with us to begin the process
of escalating for repayment.  They took pictures all along the way and
made sure to explain everything to us and keep us updated on the progress and
remaining work needed.  They finished the work in just a few days, even
though it was a huge job.  Each evening, they made sure to leave
everything in a working fashion so we were able to stay in the house throughout
the repairs.
 This situation could have been a much worse experience just
given the nature of the damage and the issues, but I credit Mr. Rooter of
Richmond entirely with making the process as short, smooth, and stress-free as
possible.  I highly recommend Mr. Rooter and will definitely use them
again in the future.

Was told that the tech would be here between 11 and 1 and that they would call when on the way.  At 10 minutes of 1, still no call so I was getting ready to call when the tech shows up at the door to fix my clogged kitchen drain???  They had the work description wrong. No big deal, no call and not the right job but they are here and the tech is very professional.  She looks at the problem and goes out to her truck and comes back with several options.
The cheapest option was to replace two washers...for....are you ready for this?...  $273.  Thank you but no.  I can work on it for quite some time myself for $273.  Like I said, I could forgive no call and having the job description wrong. But $273 for replacing washers?

The office staff and technician were very courteous and helpful. He was able to fix the problem within the hour. I forgot to tell him about the Angie's list discount and he even came back to my house to return my check so that I could get the discount. I would definitely use them again.

The technician arrived on time and evaluated a couple if problems. Fixed the problem toilet so it would flush (yay!) but when he looked at the other toilet that was "running" he suggested an expensive "rebuild" of the inner parts of the toilet. This seemed a bit extreme for the problem. But in the end they solved my problem in a reasonable time at a fair price.

Heather and Tish made one of the more unfortunate experiences of home ownership much more tolerable. They both were overtly pleasant, polite, and prompt. Tish was courteous in our home and even greeted our dogs with plenty of ear scratches. She's a class act. If all contractors treated customers with this level of service and professionalism......well, you get the picture.

It seems like the price for what they did was very reasonable. They came out when they said they were going to, they completed the work in a timely fashion, they were knowledgeable and I was happy with the work they did. I had a great experience with them.

It was great.  The worker was very professional, took the time to listen to me and understand exactly what I was having trouble with, and then talked me through everything he would do while pointing out prices at the same time.  It helped me understand what I was getting into before the work started and prevented "sticker shock".  He also pointed out some things that would be ok for now but that eventually I'd want to look at.

Had a slow running sink and decided to take off the trap to see what was causing the problem. When I attempted to loosen the pipe a chrome pipe broke in my hand. Called Mr Rooter at 10am. Call answered on the first ring. I was advised that someone would be out between 3 and 5. They showed up at 2pm. Looked at the problem and gave me a firm quote. Job finished in about an hour and they honored the 15% off Angies list coupon. Very satisfied with the response and service.

On a Sunday I encountered a clog in our kitchen sinks.  We tried to resolve ourselves first, but realized the blockage was somewhere far down the line.  I called the company and was greeted by a polite and professional employee who put in the call.  To my surprise they are available for service on Sundays.  Within 2 hours I had a technician at my door.  I was shocked with how quickly they were able to respond.  He laid out his mat and put on slippers to protect my floors upstairs as he came through the home.  We explained to him what we did with our initial efforts and he immediately began to work with an 80 foot snake he had on hand.  It wasn't too long before he was able to clear out the blockage.  We tested it by letting the kitchen sink water run for a bit, while he wrote up the workorder.  His appearance was professional and he was extremely polite.  Not only was I happy that they were able to respond on a Sunday within just a couple hours of the call, but he was there less than an hour.
I was extremely pleased with the entire process, and will certainly call them again if ever needed.

Pretty well but when you hire a plumber you expect that they will not mind getting to pipes that are under a house.

Emergency call to provider based on notification from County there was a break in water line between meter box and house causing excessive water leakage.  No time to get competitive estimates.  Service technician arrival was slightly late based on promised arrival time.  Tech. was initially unsure of where break was and unable to immediately give estimate of cost of repair since repair could be anywhere between meter box and house.  Tech. was advised we had Angie's List coupon.  Upon further observation, Tech's best guesstimate was the break was probably near meter box and the cost of repair would be exactly $550.00, "Angie's List price" .  This was a surprise since exact location of the break was still to be confirmed.  Tech had to dig 4' long 2 1/2' deep ditch to fortunately find and repair break near meter box.  Tolal repair time was 1 hr. 45 mins.  However, Tech left near end of repair for unknown reason and came back some minutes later to finish.  Final invoice total was $550.00 and paid at scene with Tech indicating "Angie's List price" but no acknowledgement of coupon.  Invoice indicates a figure of $128.53 marked out in favor of $550.00.  $640.00 "standard rate" and $550.00 "member rate" also appears on invoice.  Repair was good and continues to last.  However, cost seemed high.
