The plumber arrived for our emergency call earlier than I anticipated with his shoe covers on and ready to work! He politely diagnosed our problem and fixed it leaving no mess. We hope we won't need plumbing work again but if we do it will be Roto-Rooter! Thanks. Bernice H

This is the fourth time we've used Roto-Rooter. All instances were emergency situations and they were the only company that responded so quickly and in all cases finished quickly. Would recommend them especially in an emergency situation you need to take care of fast. Roger S

We had an emergency main line clog on the day before Easter. We called Roto-Rooter and two techs came out first thing Easter morning. They diagnosed the issue quickly and explained what needed to be done to fix the issue. Both technicians were very personable and informative. They then went to work and had the issue fixed within a short time. We were still able to celebrate Easter Sunday. I would highly recommend them to family and friends. If I ever have another plumbing issue Roto-Rooter will be the call I make. Sanai W
