Great service! They came out quickly, checked with us and went straight to work. They got the job done quickly so we thought, but after they left it plugged again. We called them back and they came back again quickly double checked everything then cleaned the line thourally at no extra price!! Everything is great and I would recommend them highly!

The pipes were frozen and they came out and wouldn’t look at it until I signed a form saying I had to pay for them the first hour and I already know I had to pay a $75 traveling fee. No one ever told me that. It cost me $242 and he didn’t even check anything. I was aware that it was a $219 hour charge and I said plus the $75 or including the $75 and he says its plus. So it was actually in the 290 something. We’ve been here for 8 years and it’s never frozen. So I thought there was a screw loose or something that he could fix otherwise I would have just said leave. They didn’t came the day I called, they came out after. The guy tried to be my friend and he called the people to put through my money and when she was on the line, I recognize her as the person I talked to and I am yelling in the background “you never told me the one hour minimum” and she said to him “she just stopped listening after I told her the $75 fee.

Initially called and set up appointment for septic to be pumped then sent  septic system map  via email to Roto Rooter night before appointment.
Driver showed up without map to locate,  I had brought copy however, still unable to locate was told need to schedule a tech to locate.  Thankfully not charged for 1st visit- Fair-
 Next day a tech showed up to locate and eventually did, had to remove rock and dig eventually found cement cover to 1000gal septic. Charged $636.00 for that visit breakdown:
 mileage $150 for the round trip drive (Property was 1hr from town)
               $ 240 to locate and $196 for 1st hr dig.
 Then the pump truck arrived,   I was charged again a travel charge $ 150 and $200 for pumping $220 for disposal also $125 for  certification of septic tank  Total $780!   
The bill was just over  $1400. 
 The workers were professional and did excellent work thanks Frank and Travis! However believe the cost was way too much for the service.   I think the 1st day the pump driver should have had the equipment  to locate and I wouldn't have had to pay for 2 people to make 2 round trips plus believe the cost was too much for service I was qouted. My bill was just over  $1400.

I called Roto-Rooter in Spokane to pump my septic. They are
in the middle of a move and have several new staff members in their office.
This caused scheduling to be a bit of a challenge. They showed up late both
days they were scheduled to be there but did make it on the day. They did call
and reschedule one day we had previously agreed on. This was not a big deal. I
was assured that the tardiness was due to the office relocating and the
scheduling staff becoming accustomed to the software they use. Once the field
workers and techs got to the site, things moved quickly. Most of the personnel
involved were professional and new their trade well. I feel like the job was in
very skilled hands.  The price was
agreeable. I would use them again in a heartbeat. Thank you Roto-Rooter!

It wasn't very good. I had a faucet to change and they charged me 400 dollars to replace a faucet. The only problem with the service was the cost of the service. I won't use them again. Quality was good. I wasn't just happy with the price. Responsiveness was good. Punctuality was also good. Professionalism was very good.

I requested licensed plumber Derrick Cunningham as he has been to my house on a job before. I find his work very good and like his work ethic and professionalism. He told me 2 yrs ago that a new WH would be a lot more efficient. I waited til now to have one installed. It is 80 gal so quite heavy but he was able to handle it. It is American made so I am thrilled with that. I like dealing with Roto Rooter as I can depend on their reasonable response time and the work always gets done.

They repaired a tankless water heater which they installed six years ago.  Basically, their technical knowledge is lacking in regards to tankless water heaters, and they had to rely on information from the manufacturer, which, for some unknown reason, only I was able to obtain.  I have used this particular technician many times in the past, and would use him again, as he is very professional and helpful.  Unfortunately, the hourly charges are in excess of $160.00, which adds up quickly...

The sewer line now has what is called a " belly" in it, ( a sagging area 11 feet long that traps water).  They hit the house with their backhoe. They left the yard in a mess.  They hit the water service and bent the pipe, causing it to pull the water meter against the basement wall. They didn't bed the sewer pipe correctly, the main reason for the " belly" that developed.  When I contacted them on 9/4/2013, they came and ran a snake down the 4 inch pipe.  They wanted to charge me another $270 to run a sewer cam.  I decided against it, then contacted another contractor, who gave me a neighborhood & veteran discount.  That's when I learned how bad of job Roto-Rooter  had done.  If Roto-Rooter had ran the sewer camera all the way to the 6 inch pipe, they would have found the real problem.  They also dug up the sidewalk, which they didn't need to do.  I have emailed them asking for a full refund. They haven't responded.

Provider was responsive immediately to my first call. They were able to send someone out that day at a time that was convenient to me. The young serviceman was professional and friendly. He worked hard to keep his tome at a minimum so as not to have to charge me more. He was very clear in sharing expected costs and potential problems. He kept me apprised of findings throughout his work. He fixed the problem and the business also offers a six month warranty.

I asked them to solve a friend's plumbing problem: a one-bathroom residence with backed-up plumbing  and bad odors.  The problem had become increasingly worse and the toilet could not be used for bowel movements. I decided to use Roto-Rooter because it specialized in clearing lines and because of Angie's List reviews.
         I would pay for the service but could not be there personally although the resident would be present. The helpful woman who took my information  scheduled the work for the same day in the afternoon. She gave a clear explanation of possible charges. I did not stress the urgency of the problem, but she made it a priority. (Thank goodness!)
        The service man was not able to make it until about 6 p.m.  He was able to clear the line but had to roto-root quite a ways out. He told me the job was rather difficult  and that the lines were very rough on the inside and would need replacing sooner than later. He wanted to make sure the owner of the residence knew.  (The blockage was paper products probably causedd by my friend's elderly mother who had recently moved out.)
       I was very grateful that the job was completed that same day, even though it was late, cold, dark, and miserable. Since I had called
early in the day I was not charged an overtime rate! I would still give them an "A" for punctuality because plumbing jobs are unpredictable.
     The office woman had not discussed how I would be billed, and the plumber had to call me for credit card information. I had to call them to find out they were running late. I asked them to mail me the bill but they never did.
    Overall I was thrilled to have the problem taken care of so quickly and professionally!

As described above. Nice people, but not too professional and obviously needed more training.
