Need a Plumber This Weekend?

When the weekend rolls around, do-it-yourselfers everywhere gear up for projects around the house. Every homeowner knows that those little DIY jobs sometimes turn into runaway disasters that require fast, professional help. But if you get in over your head on a kitchen plumbing job, a sump pump replacement, or a water heater tune-up and need to call in a professional plumber to pick up where you left off, you may be shocked to learn that most plumbing service companies don't answer their phones on weekends.

The fact is most plumbers don’t work on Saturdays and Sundays so your call will likely go straight to your plumber’s voicemail or an after-hours answering service. That means you could be stuck until he calls back on Monday, which might be a serious problem if you don’t have running water. It’s an even bigger problem if you have a gushing leak and you’re unable to turn off the water supply valve.

Why don’t more plumbers work on weekends? After all, most homeowners only have time for plumbing maintenance after hours and on weekends, so if something goes wrong with your plumbing project on a Sunday afternoon, shouldn’t there be an plumber available to help that isn’t going to double his normal rate because its the weekend? We think so!

Roto-Rooter is different. We are a 24/7 plumbing service, meaning we’re available whenever you need us, whether it’s an emergency or not. We work at night, we work on weekends, and we even work on holidays. And since Saturday and Sunday are regular workdays for Roto-Rooter, we don’t charge extra for weekends, nights, or holidays the way other plumbers do. Additionally, when you call Roto-Rooter, we answer the phone 24/7/365, and we’ll send the first available plumber to your door, usually within 2 hours of your call, but often sooner.
