Victor and Jason came out to fix my sump pump, after I tried calling 5 other emergency plumbers that told me they can't get to my home until the next day. Victor & Jason from Roto-Rooter arrived right away and were very professional. I will definitely use this company for future repairs, thank you for saving my basement! Amanda K

I was so impressed with you guys from the moment I requested an appointment. I put in a request after dropping a bracelet down the toilet which caused it to clog, and after 15 minutes of putting in a request I got a call confirming my appointment. Scott showed up shortly after and he was such a nice guy! Very professional and kept me updated on what he was doing to fix the problem. I've never had to use an emergency plumber before, but would recommend Roto-Rooter over and over again after how great y'all were! Thanks so much! Jonnica H

I had a major water leak close to the main water shutoff. Not only did I find an emergency plumber, but he was onsite and had the leak fixed within 3 hours. Needless to say, I was amazed. Can't say enough about how responsive Roto-Rooter was to my situation! Jamie S
