We called in a pinch tonight when our toilet (the only one in the apartment!) was clogged and none of our at home methods worked! We had a plumber at our door within the hour (at 11pm)! He was extremely professional and efficient. Had our toilet up and running in no time. Would highly recommend this service if you need emergency plumbing!

We called to have the T&P valve replaced on our electric water heater. They said that someone would be able to come out the next day... great! Mind you they did let me know that it would be a $100 fee for just coming out even if they did no work. That was no problem since we looked into prices of replacing this part and figured it would not be over about $200-$250. The licensed plumber comes here, confirms that it is the T&P valve that needs to be replaced. The part was $41 (100% up charge from what you can buy online or in stores). Not too bad but still pricey. Now the kicker is for the 15-20 minutes of work that was done we paid $469 in labor fees! That's insane. Not to mention a part of that 20 minutes was spent with me turning on the hot water and letting it run. I would not recommend. Our technician was nice and helped us out with a coupon. Since we were new to any type of plumbing work we were extremely shocked with the price and would have gladly gone elsewhere knowing what we know now.

The Roto-Rooter Service Tech, Joe Rocca, was the most personable and communicative contractor we've had in here in a long time. He explained everything to us, step by step, in an easy-to-understand style. He listened to our concerns and answered all our questions. Even though he discovered a problem that would require some excavation work in our front lawn, which gave us pause, he gave us confidence that the situation was well understood and the work would be done correctly and promptly. He was right. Joe is a real asset to your company.

Roto Rooter answers the phone and they show up. That's a lot more than most plumbing services. Their estimates were accurate and they got the job done promptly. While I thought one of the technicians I dealt with far more qualified than the other, that is the case in many businesses. In the end I am a satisfied customer. My water is running!

The whole Roto- Rooter team did a great job. Joe from Malden worked many hours to unclog my toilet and take care of my problem. The next day my water Restoration Team consisting of Tom (Sales), Jay (Lead Tech), and Marvin (Tech) put in a Herculean effort to finish their part of the job the same day. Tom, contacted my Insurance Company, started a claim and my agent set up an appointment with in 24 hours to visit my home. Once the representative arrived, my claim was settled in less than one (1) hour!!! A fantastic job boys!!!Many Thanks, Bill

The price is rather steep (nearly $400 on a normal workday during the day), the technician took about an hour to come after he had given us a call (on a number different from the one that I had submitted with our request) promising to be there in about 10 minutes. The service itself, however, was completely satisfactory, the drain was cleared completely and the bathroom left clean afterwards. The technician (Ron) also was very friendly and courteous.

I will say that Roto-Rooter came quickly the day I needed them to and was able to unclog my drain pipe. They were fast & professional. Unfortunately, they gave me a quote of $39,300 to replace a drain pipe which was exorbitantly high in comparison to others. When I spoke to the City of Boston and other drain companies, they informed me that Roto-Rooter overcharges. I was shocked how much they were asking for. They also told me I needed to have my entire drain pipe replaced because of root damage. When getting a second opinion from a second company and Boston Water & Sewer, they determined I didn't need to have the pipe replaced as it had no visible breaks or holes— saving my neighbor and I thousands of dollars. Buyer beware— Roto-Rooter just wants to drain peoples bank accounts.

Please be advised that while being pretty expensive and pricey for the service provided, I feel that the timeliness, punctuality and quality of Roto-Rooter's work was terrific. I made contact with them via e-mail at 02:00 a.m., making an on-line appointment for the early-afternoon that same day. The plummer arrived on-time and on-schedule and they also placed a call to me 30 minutes prior to their arrival. All in all, the experience was pretty good. I would definitely avail of their services again and would recommend them to others without reservation.David NolanKingston, Massachusetts

the person whom took the initial call did not take the time to listen to my concerns and issues I had and was not able to give me and approx estimate and when technician got here they quoted me for almost a $1000 to reseat my toilet so it did rock (no leaks) and snake my sink) something I have done myself but just got out of the hospital and was not in good health to do and only took me about an hour and a half!I had to pay them $70 for a trip fee just to walk in and out, approx 10 minutes.I do not recommend! Use a local business if it's a small job you can do yourself and just can't get to for whatever reason or other dependable business that will take their time with you and not waste your time.Needless to say they did not come within their 8-12 window so I wasted my day!

I was in desperate need for a plumber today. I called Rotor Rooter and was given a same day estimated time of arrival. Lucky for me. The main office called and asked if the plumber could arrive earlier than schedule. Of course I agreed. He arrived. Was exceptionally polite. Cleared my drain in no time at all. Left my bathroom spotless! I am extremely pleased with the service.Happy to have called Rotor-Rooter. I give two thumbs up!

Professional repairmen that came out. Talked real talk about what was going on and options I had. Also told me to talk to the city because they may pay for my issues. Not the fastest service, but they did a complete and thorough job, which is obviously much more important.Lost one star for scheduling, I had a meeting until 1pm, told the operator that, and she scheduled them for 1pm. They showed up 10 minutes early as well. Could have used a bit more wiggle room, but considering they were very friendly and patient for me to return I really didn't mind.

He cleared the clogged drain within a half hour and was very tidy so there wasn't any mess to clean up. He also offered some helpful tips on how to prevent clogs going forward and was very friendly. The standard fee seemed a bit expensive although I don't have much to compare it to.All in all very professional and fast.

Eric Benoit did an excellent job in cleaning the drain from kitchen sink out to septic tank on 9/28/22. He also detected a leak in the bathroom drainpipe, assessed the condition of the pipes from kitchen catch basin to septic and estimated the cost of replacing these pipes. Eric and Dan returned on Friday, 9/30/22 to replace said pipes, and they did an outstanding job. Their work ethic was excellent. They went over and above what they were expected to do and helped us in keeping our pipes in working order. They were friendly and polite. Their estimate was almost to the dollar! They are highly recommended!

Mike, the Tech that came to our home was unbelievably good! Having tried to clear the clog myself the day before I told him where in the pipe I thought it was located. He concurred, leading me (and Mike) to believe it would be a straight forward quick fix. Four and a half to five hours later Mike had isolated and fixed the problem. Without getting too deep into the details, each time I thought it was fixed Mike wasn't satisfied. He said that even though the toilet flushed he thought that the problem might come back and he wanted to make sure his solution was permanent. He checked/cleared about 75' to 80' of drain even though the initial clog was only 10' from the toilet and still wasn't satisfied until he could hear the water flowing smoothly the entire length of the pipe and through every junction and turn. He gave us an upfront flat rate quote which matched the final billing. The worksite was left immaculate, better than when he showed up. He also offered several suggestions for preventing the sludge build up. And most importantly he was an all around good guy.

The technician came very quickly after the original call to the call center. He explained everything in the beginning and what he had to do to unclog my main drain line. There were likely roots growing in the main pipeline and that is what he removed to clear it. He cleaned up afterwards and was very professional and courteous and very pleasant to talk to. Everything was done in a timely manner. I highly recommend Kyle #6651.

I will never use another plumbing company again! It was a Sunday morning, and we suspected that there was a blockage in one of our pipes which was causing our toilet to clog. I did a quick Google search and found Rotor-Rooter, and based on the positive reviews, I figured I would give them a try! When I called, I explained the issue I suspected we were having and asked if they would be able to help, and if so, when was the earliest they could come asses the situation. The woman I spoke to said she could send someone that day, anytime that was most convenient for me and my schedule. She also said that the plumber would asses the situation for no charge, and if the plumber felt this was something they could help with, they'd explain our options and prices at that time, but we were still not obligated to move forward with the fix. I scheduled a two hour window with her and she said the plumber would call me when they were on their way. The plumber called to let me know he was running a bit behind schedule and said he'd be a little late. I was so appreciative that he let me know, and didn't leave me guessing as to where he was. When Ron (#5592) arrived, he said he would asses the situation at no cost. After the assessment he'd then let us know what the options were, and if we didn't want him to do the work, we weren't obligated to. He assessed the situation and gave us two options: he could remove the blockage without taking the toilet apart OR if he couldn't remove the block, then he would take the toilet apart to find the blockage (but only charge us IF he found something). Unfortunately for us, he found a blockage so we had to pay a bit more :). However, he then went above and beyond and shared with us why the problem might have happened in the first place, and offered a few solutions for how we could prevent it in the future. We were grateful that Roto-Rooter (and Ron) were able to help us, especially on a Sunday!

Because I had a previous service call, I was courteously addressed by name upon calling and the appointment was set up. It was 1:30 and the service call was set up for arrival between 3:30 and 5:30 which was great. I was relieved to see the truck arrive on time!

Edited review due to poor follow up. Bottom line - great to fix clogs - but maybe not to do repair work.5/5 setting up an appointment was easy as a first time customer. Phone operator was very kind and nice5/5 Getting the clog fixed was easy and great. Stephen H and Ryan K came out same day (Sunday!) to fix my clogged sewer main pipe during the Pat's playoff game. Talk about dedication! I was worried I'd have to wait until Monday - but they sorted it out quickly and professionally. Took the time to explain everything (before, during, after) and pricing for the work before they started. I really lucked out that they were the ones that came. Super nice guys - I'd use their services again and recommend to my friends/family. I'd give them more than 5 stars if able. Thanks so much!4/5 They came to camera my line to guarantee the work and quote me a lining for the pipe. It was 3x more expensive than digging up the pipe and replacing it. It did have a lifetime guarantee though for the work. He was very nice and on time - he made me get into the video to prove to his boss that I was there while he did the camera - so the video went back to the home office. He said he could not give me a copy of the video.0/5 I tried to follow up with the company to get the video of my sewer pipe. They said it was a courtesy and I was unable to even pay to obtain this video. I need this video to claim - I asked them to let me know how much it would cost to have them come out again to do the video but they never followed up despite multiple calls from me. I will be hiring another company to re-do the camera of the line and get competitive quotes.

When I called to schedule a technician to unclog the drain in my kitchen sink I also inquired about price and was told the technician would give an estimate. When my technician Zach arrived he was not only late, he also demanded that he take his break before any work could be done. When he told me the rate to fix the clog it was several hundred dollars more than it should have been, but I was in a pinch and needed the drain unclogged. From now on I’ll call a local plumber and never make the mistake of calling Roto-Rooter again.

Joe came out on a Sunday to Cape Cod during the height of the tourist season, when it’s usually impossible to get service. We were updated by phone as to when he would arrive. He explained to us everything he would do to try to clear a clog in our main sewer line. After inspecting all pipes in basem*nt crawl spaces he discovered the clog in pipes under an outside deck leading to our septic. He cleared the clog though it was not an easy job. He was patient, hard working and was not going to give up until he solved the issue. With all the visitors we have during the summer season, we could not function without working toilets and showers, even for a day, so we highly recommend Roto Rooter if you need help!

I called Roto Rooter after about a week of slow draining/clogged toilets. I made the call at about 815 am. I was told a technician would be available to come by before 11am. Around 930 am I received a curtsey call letting me know that they were very busy and had pushed the time to Noon. John arrived around 1130. Came in and checked out both bathrooms. He explained my options and costs and then got to work. He worked quick, was very professional and personable. I would recommend John Diamantides (#15534 & #15435) to anyone. He successfully pulled out a toy truck that one of the boys flushed down the toilet! Expensive but worth it in the end.

Needed our outdoor drains cleaned and called Rotor Rooter. Tech told me it would cost $1700 for 2 hours for 3 drains to be cleaned, then $875 per hour after that. This was on the phone. They didn’t even see or look at the drains. Decided to cancel and call Rapid Flow and they came out and said my drains were clean. I had a dry well (or something like that) and that was the reason they were overflowing during heavy rain. They saved me 1700+. Rapid Flow all the way!

The plumber was excellent and left the work area spotless. However, my appointment was scheduled for 8-10am. I received a call at 9:15 telling me it would be at least another 1-1.5 hours before a plumber could arrive. I rescheduled the service for 12:30-2:30 that day and by 2:30 no one had arrived so I called and was put on hold for several minutes and was told it would be another half hour before anyone could arrive. It appeared to me that when I rescheduled someone forgot to put the call out to the plumber. The plumber was very apologetic when he arrived and as I said he did a good job, but I did waste much of the day waiting for him to arrive.

Called on a Wednesday evening for a clogged sewage drain, they said they'd send a technician between 8-12 AM the next day. He did not arrive until 5pm. Technician worked very hard but not able to unclog despite making big mess including removal of toilet, had to pay $300 for this unsuccessful attempt. Said we needed to have the Jet water system to unclog. Arranged to have this done for for $900 the next day (1 hour, and hten $300 for an additional 1 that might be needed). At this point, had enough of roto rooter ripping us off so called another plumber (drain doctor) who came the following day and unclogged for using a different kind of snake that actually removes stuff rather than just pushes it forward for $250.

First I called a competitor and they told me they could not get anyone out on a Sunday. I called rotto rooter on Sunday morning and they were here before noon time. I was stressed out about the situation and Charles repeatedly told me not to worry. They knew exactly what to do, what tools to use, they were clean and professional. If they did make a mess they were sure to tell me they'd clean it up before they left. They successfully unclogged our drain, helped us understand what products to use to maintain the pipes and they cleaned the sink, under the sink and their work area throughly before leaving.I thought that Charles was thoughtful, careful in our home, clean and professional. I did not expect this level of service or customer experience from a such a large company and I was impressed. From my first phone call with their booking department to the actual service, they earned a A+!

LIFE SAVERS!! My toilet decided to overflow during 4th of July celebrations. With no other bathrooms and guests at my apartment it was a total chaos. I called like 10 plumbers and no one could come until I called Roto-Rooter who came to the rescue. They got to my place in less than an hour and took less than ten minutes to fixed the mess. Friendly and professional team ! I would definitely call them again if I ever have another emergency.

Our experience with Rotorooter has been excellent. We have had to call them 3 - maybe 4 - times in the last 5 years. The technician arrived within an hour. He was quick, thorough, and very knowledgeable. He came equipped with the most current analytical tools and took care to explain what was happening and showed us photos on his screen. He also was courteous and had a sense of humor which helped indeed to relieve the stress of a septic system problem! If you call Rotorooter in MA, request Burim, technician #279!

We called Roto Rooter to help when water began flowing back into our basem*nt from the septic line. Our technician Joe came quickly and began to solve the issue. We loved his awesome attitude and his willingness to teach us about our system while he worked. In over two hours he spent at our home, he unclogged our sewer line, explained possible issues, located our septic tank, confirmed it did not need to be pumped, and suggested next steps to prevent future issues. Before he left, he cleaned the work area thoroughly and refilled the hole in our yard from digging up the septic lid. We would absolutely recommend Roto Rooter and specifically Joe for these types of service calls. Top notch service!

When we needed some repair work done in the 'loo, Hubby looked up plumbers in the yellow pages and told me Roto Rooter was coming - I thought all they did was clogs. Nope, the gentleman who arrived was a real plumber, and he was great. Reasonable, personable (as hubby is one of those guys who hangs around while the work is being done, lol), and thorough. I found the price to be fair - it wasn't cheap but I wasn't expecting cheap, I wanted a quality repair done right and expected to pay for it, and that's exactly what we got. In addition, I am always grateful for a repairman who does not fix something that does not need fixing, and that was the case this time. No padding the bill. This builds trust - we will call on Roto Rooter again.

I have a 3 family home and have many plumbing problems usually at odd hours. Roto Rooter is always reliable, arrives when they say they will and is prepared to solve the problem. The last problem was Sunday evening, 5:00 PM, water backing up in the second floor sink. Technician #5592 arrived within the window of time stated by the dispatcher and went right to work, solving the problem within 45 minutes. The solution involved many trips up and down several flights of stairs, checking all 3 apartments, all without complaint. The technician was very polite, clear and quickly solved the problem. His easy, competent demeanor makes it a pleasure to have him in my home.

RotoRooter never quote you on the phone I (not even a rough estimate) however they will send someone to your home. Their strategy ( scam) is that they will give you a 4 hour window, make you take a day off from work if necessary, get you exhausted and tired from waiting an waiting and when the technician arrives , they will shoot you with a high price . Now because you are so tired and don't want to take another day off you ll end up paying no matter what and get your pipes working. Every thing is carefully calculated. They wont tell you that their estimate starts at $450 for a 15 minute snaking job!. is n't that a rip off and you start wondering if you hired a surgeon to unclog your pipes not some rotorooter technician. Its ok to make money but not this way Rototrooter!

Positive: They provide you with a two hour window and arrived early within that window.Negative: Grossly overpriced. The tech that worked on my issue was unprofessional. He mentioned he came from a nightmare job and proceeded to take it out on me. He actually asked me why I installed a 1000 gallon septic tank instead of a 1500 gallon. The house is older than I am. He had no respect for my house tracking mud throughout it. He flooded my laundry room by leaving the drain hose on the ground. He made a terrible situation worse.Bottom line: If you’re in a pinch, they will show up rather quickly. Prepare to pay for it. I’m giving this 2 stars strictly on the availability and arrival time. I will never use this service again.

The night before Thanksgiving around 11:30 at night, I found out that the main drain to my house had a major clog and water began to back up into the basem*nt. I could not use any water (including flushing toilets) until the clog was no longer. I had 20 guests coming for Thanksgiving dinner at 12pm Thanksgiving Day!! My plumber was not doing emergency calls so I called RotoRooter's 24 hour emergency service. I was not the only one in need but through reassurance they said they would be there in time for me to still be able to finish preparing and serve dinner as planned. As you can imagine, I was very anxious. I phoned 2 times during the early morning to check on E.T.A.. The dispatcher was not only pleasant but made me feel at ease during a very stressful situation. Happy to say the plumber arrived by 10:15 am. He was very courteous, professional and was able to unclog the pipe by 11:20. My first guests arrived at 12pm. My Thanksgiving went off as planned. I could not be more thankful!

We were without water and were possibly going to be forced to stay in a hotel. We immediately called Roto-Rooter and Stephen Dallalis was at our home less than 30 minutes later. He knew there was a blockage, quickly found and opened our septic system. Less than 15 minutes later the blockage was found by his rooter and started clearing it right away. He did a great job and we were able to stay in our home instead of having to stay at a hotel since he arrived so quickly. I would highly recommend them if you're having a problem.

My experience with the Roto-Rooter group was great. I called the main line for service in the morning after several failed attempts to clear a clogged shower drain. After draino didn't work, I knew the only other option was to snake the drain and get rid of the clog manually. Within an hour of calling the main service line, I received a call stating that the service technician would arrive at my house within the hour. Our service technician, Mike, was polite, friendly, and most importantly informative. He explained exactly what the likely cause of the drain clog was an went over some ways to prevent clogs in the future which was great. He also explained all the risks associated with snaking the drain. Within 30 minutes the drain was free of the clear, thanks to the motorized pipe snake and Mike's expertise. One of the most reassuring things about roto-rooter is that they guarantee that the drain will remain clog free for 6 months. That is great piece of mind. Although roto-rooter was a tab bit more expensive than an average local plumber, the general know how, speed of job completion, and the guarantee made up for the higher cost. I will certainly recommend roto-rooter for any clog jobs in the future. In and out, then showering agin without issue. Thanks for everything Mike.

It was a complicated job with not only the sewer drain but the problems with the space and other tenants. Most technicians would have turned away but Augustine stuck it out and 4 hours later he cleared everything and then provided an update to prevent future issues. He worked his tail off and I am so happy with the work and professionalism Augustine provided and highly recommend him.

The plumber that came to my new home to fix a large ceiling leak I had unexpectedly occur was amazing!! He spent hours in my home and I barely noticed him - he did the job, explained what he was doing, and helped clean up. I highly recommend him and Roto Rooter! I’m sorry I can’t remember his name :( but he was GREAT!

Service was great and the technician was very friendly and knowledgeable. Only issue for me was that they “don’t give pricing over the phone” and the technician said the price for drain clearing was a standard flat rate of $489. Pretty steep and I probably would have shopped around if I had known that was the price. I suppose I understand why they don’t give prices before they get there!

On 12/20/2019 called Roto-rooter after main drain to city became clogged. Called very late on a Friday afternoon and was guaranteed someone would come out to repair. Service technician Ron #5592 promptly came out and assessed the situation and quickly got to work.Ron did not want to make a mess and when he drained the excess water he disposed of it outside until drain was clear and he could unclog the drain.Ron unclogged the drain to the main line and then unclogged in the opposite direction to make sure entire drain was clear. He then ran water to make sure it went down the drain with no issues. He then ran the tool in the drain a 2nd time to make sure he got all the debris.He cleaned up after himself and made sure the main drain was closedsecurely and ran the water again.Excellent service and very professional technician that did a very thorough job. Highly recommend Ron

Wareham, MA location (replacement of main septic pipe): Fast response time; reliable and dependable team (original service provider who identified the problem as well as the excavation/repair team). Very courteous and professional. They may cost a bit more than private plumbers, but worth every penny because they are available quickly when needed (and when your main septic pipe is damaged, it's not something that can wait!). Poor guys worked in the rain to excavate on a Friday so that we didn't have to wait over the weekend until Monday for a functional septic system. Can't express our appreciation enough! Honest, as well: when the work came in under the original estimate, they reduced the final invoice to about two-thirds of the.original estimate. Excellent experience and highly recommended service provider.

Excellent service. The toilet my 93-year-old mother uses became plugged and we needed immediate attention to the problem. Gilbert arrived within the 2-hour time frame we were given when we placed the call, and he was professional, friendly and knowledgeable. He immediately understood the problem and how to fix it. Prior to starting work, he reviewed the costs of the repair, so we know what we were getting into. The costs were high, but the plugged toilet HAD to be fixed so we went ahead with repairs. Gilbert completed the work, cleaned up the area and we will definitely ask for him again if we need any further plumbing work. Gilbert defiantly gets a 5-star rating!!! The ONLY reason this entire review isn't a 5-star rating is due to the high cost of the repair.

The good: Problem was solved quickly, within 10 minutes. $40 coupon was available. The bad: Scheduled the service for 8 am - noon. Technician showed up around 2 pm. I did receive a call letting me know that they were running behind, but I scheduled them in the morning for a reason. Extremely expensive. $250 to unclog my toilet ($210 after coupon). This was not done as emergency service, it was scheduled. They were on site about 15 minutes total. Give them an hour with driving time and $250/hour for a plumber is way too much. Definitely shop around.

John was fantastic. Came out late afternoon on New Years Eve. Dug out the septic tank clean out cover and cover to the intake. Snaked back and got water flowing again. He did not stop there. He had me run the water/flush toilets/etc. He was not satisfied with the flow volume and put the snake back into the system...only to find a RAG...left behind by the plumber who installed our new toilets! Again, had me run water/flush toilets until he was satisfied this time that the problem was fully solved. Fantastic workmanship. Very personable too! HIGHLY RECOMMEND him.

Hi my name is Tim I am the maintenance man for this property and oversaw the operation. While I was completely satisfied with Roto Rooter, I am some what displeased with how the contractor left the area dug up. The lawn area was not graded smooth chunks of broken pipe was left mixed atop the soil including the lead sealer for the s old sewer piping. In addition the walkway was left broken up and uneven a potential accident waiting for the Tennant's, which has since been repaired by hired people of the owner at his cost.The contractors for the work were great guys, hard workers, but it seems that time and fatigue left the yard and walkway the way it was after digging commenced. This is my honest opinion to which I hope in some way you can address this.Thank you

First they called me at 10am and asked if I still need a plumber (surprise, surprise,.. I was still in need). They confirmed the guy would come before noon.. I called at noon, and they said they had two plumbers working in the area, who did not finish their jobs, and they could not guarantee they would come on time!!I called to this company naively believing these ratings and google guarantee.. Probably they only guarantee answering the phone.. I will call now Sears, who works well on time..

My water heater leaks since Thursday afternoon, and we stopped to have all the water in the freezing Boston winter chill. I went to Lowe's and ordered a water heater and the very expensive emergency installation service. Lowe's told me that the contractor will call me Friday in the Morning. I waited until Friday at the noontime and nobody contacted me. I called back to Lowe's, only knowing that they forgot to send my case to the contractors.Lowe's scheduled my installation Tuesday and this was EMERGENCY installation. When they finally came, they left in 10 min, only saying they cannot do this. They gave me a full refund after I called them many times the week after.So, I contacted Roto-rooter. Then can come the next day. On Wednesday noontime, Mike (#1488) and Dan (#4622) visited my house and gave me an evaluation. The price they gave me was expensive. But after a whole week's life without tap water, I would accept anything. They ordered a water heater and helped me found an electrician, and we scheduled to have the water heater installed Thursday in the Morning.Mike and Dan came earlier on Thursday in the morning. They were extremely professional. They also really cared about my home as if they were working in their home. To carry the old rusty water heater out, they have to go through two carpeted area and they covered the whole path from where the water heater is to my front door. They also moved the very heavy water heater downstairs in pouring rain, without wasting any time. When they leave, my home is as clean as the time when they come.After 7 days no water, we finally have water at home. I really appreciate their work. Roto-rooter is expensive, but they can really get the work done. Their work saves a ton of my time, which worth the price.

Main line was not cleared out well-still has roots in the main line out to the street, a clog still exists with backups noted in the basem*nt utility sinks. We were overcharged ($645.75) to have a house trap cleared out and had to call to have Roto rooter come back out same day due to the backup. He also didn’t replace a broken cap to the main line and told us to go to a plumbing supply store to purchase one, where if we didn’t have a utility sink would’ve had water damage in our basem*nt from the backup. Would not recommend Joseph E.

When the technician came, he was cordial and practiced social distancing along with wearing a face mask the entire time. He listened explicitly to what the issues were before moving in equipment and starting to address the problems. He included me when looking at the camera and diagnosing the issues. The technician even helped look at a water pipe under the sink that I wasn't sure was related to the main problem.

A new pump was needed so the technician arranged for a plumber to come out the day after Thanksgiving to replace the pump. He arrived on schedule, explained exactly what was needed, purchased & installed the pump. I was very happy with the professionalism and service of the men who came on both visits. We will use Ken from Roto Rooter for our future plumbing needs.

I went down to the basem*nt to put the laundry in the dryer and found a pool of water on the basem*nt floor. I had my son turn on water in the kitchen sink and quickly realized that the sewer line was blocked. Called Roto Rooter and they came within 2 hours and cleared the line. Mitchell C. was courteous, efficient, and explained everything that he was doing. Would absolutely use them again! Thank you, Roto Rooter!

We called after normal business hours and the person on the phone was very kind and setup an appointment for the next morning. A couple hours later I received a call that a plumber could come out that night.Ron showed up at our house and went over the plan with me to address our drain backup. After a few minutes into the job, Ron wanted to switch approaches and check the sewer on our street. His experience led him to this intuition which was correct — our street’s sewer main was backed up causing our issue.Ron then advised me to call the city and ask them to come out. After a few phone calls, I was able to get the city public works folks out with a truck to fix the problem. Ron was very professional with the city workers giving them all the info they needed and helping them get the job done. At this point it was midnight, and Ron stayed after the city was done working in the street to finish the job in my house.Ron checked everything inside my house, and finished the job, allowing me and my family to sleep easy that night knowing that our problem was resolved. Ron was calm, professional, had the right knowledge to solve the problem, and went the extra mile. We are happy he’s the one who was sent out to our house!

The lady who answered my phone for inquiry was the rudest person I have ever known. She had no patience to any of my questions, and she literally hanged up on me. I wished I had asked her name so I can submit a complaint. I found Roto-Rooter online with excellent reviews but my experience was the opposite, terrible. They at least need to hire someone who can show some respect to others!

The plumber and the quality of the work they did was great, that was not my problem.Called them for an estimate on changing the wax ring of a toilet. They won’t provide an estimate over the phone for any type of job at all, even something this small. I figured it couldn’t be so bad so I went ahead and booked… the day the plumber arrives I find out they charge $500 just to replace a wax ring... for 20 minutes of actual labor and $8 of parts. What a ripoff. Definitely try elsewhere first for your repairs.

Our experience was excellent. Our toilet was overflowing and we could not figure out why. We called roto-rooter and scheduled an appointment. The service man arrived on time and spent a fair amount of time making sure he had the correct diagnosis. He then provided we with a very fair quote to fix the issue. Then he proceeded to fix it. Super professional and friendly! I would definitely recommend Roto-Rooter to anyone having issues.

Roto-Rooter provided terrible service. We will not be hiring them, again.We called on a Friday about a leaking shower faucet. They offered us an appointment between 12 and 4 on Sunday. At 4 on Sunday we called back to see why they hadn't come yet, only to be told our appointment was for Monday (it wasn't). After arguing a bit, they admitted the appointment had been booked in error for Sunday and said they would send someone over.An hour later a plumber named Charles comes, having been told the wrong info about the job. But he looks at the shower anyway and says it needs a new valve. He says that it's a big job and it will be expensive to fix, around $700. And he doesn't have the part, even though we told them what the model was on the phone. He says we can save some money by going and buying the part ourselves to avoid the 200% upcharge they have on parts, then he can come back tomorrow and install it. He said he still needs to charge us $79 for the day, but it would count as a credit to the next day's bill. So we do that, buying the part ourselves for $100.The next day they call and say that Charles is unavailable and they're sending someone else over. A new plumber, Jim, comes over also not knowing anything about the job he's supposed to do. He looks at the part we bought and tells us it's the wrong part for our shower. He also can't figure out how to remove the fixture, repeatedly saying that he's never seen a shower like this in his 40 years on the job, despite it being a major brand (Delta). We have to remove the knob for him and he still proceeds to break it anyway. Then he goes off to buy the right part and a new shower knob to replace the one he broke.Once he gets back he literally pops out valve out and slides the new valve in, fiddles with the settings for maybe 15 minutes, and declares it done. Except he installed the knob upside down. After we make him fix it properly he gives us the bill. $535 to swap the valves, $200 to go get the part (which he then knocks off as a discount), and $160 for the parts. He refuses to honor the $79 we already paid, citing the $200 discount. We say fine and ask him about the part he used, thinking we can just do it ourselves the next time it acts up and save ourselves the hassle.The kicker is, after we pay him and he leaves, I look at the part we bought again and see that it's the exact same part he used. The one he said wasn't right. And after he leaves we have to take the whole thing apart again to fix the hot water settings, anyway, since he set the limiter too low. I wish we had just done it ourselves from the start and saved the $700.Update: In response to this review, Roto-Rooter refunded the $79 visit fee and half ($50) of what I paid for the unused part I bought. I gave them another star for following up.

Hired roto-rooter to clear some drains in a newly purchased home. I was not home however my wife was not thrilled with the service. For one- keep in mind that to snake 7 drains (2 bathroom house) was $1500. In my mind an astounding amount of money for one days work, all the while the plumber continued being extremely rude to my wife. She had even offered to hold buckets and help him where need be, but he continued with snarky comments and made for an overall uncomfortable experience for her.We then had them quote out a gas water heater. Which was full of complaints, and lacking in problem solving. This installation never happened. I’d rather spend my money with more apt problem solving plumbers and not complaining bench pieces.Overall, next time I think we’ll be working with someone else.2 stars because the drains drain.

They disconnected my dryer machine that was in the way of me getting a new washer machine because the laundry room is narrow.

Aaron # 477 from Roto-Rooter was great! He came in and assessed our problem. We had water coming into the washing machine and basem*nt. He said it sounds like there is a clog in the main line. We had him clean and treat the line. We also received a 6 month warranty. After the cleaning and treating took place, he said he will have someone come out and send a camera down in the pipe to make sure it's not broken or collapsed. This is included in the price we already paid. Their pricing seems to be a little higher then average. We were willing to pay it because of the following reasons:1- Aaron was very knowledgeable, and friendly2- He came out on a Saturday and fixed it3- To have peace of mind, and not have to wait until Tuesday (this was during a holiday weekend)4- So we could use our bathroom, and do laundry.Thanks so much for the great service!!

I would have given 5 stars but I was charged 339.00 to fix a leak in bathtub faucet that continued to leak. Called again and was charged 890.00 to install whole new fixture. In my opinion, the 339.00 should have been deducted from the 890 since it didn't get fixed the first time. Jeff was very nice and courteous and explained everything well. My only complaint is I was charged 339.00 and still had leak. Would be happier if it was deducted from 890.00 since the 339.00 did not fix the problem. Thank you!

We callled Roto-Rooter for our kitchen sink clog with hopes it was a simple and quick fix. Turns out we had a massive grease build up and blockage after decades of use. The team worked tirelessly on multiple trips using different methods to break it free and continued to make sure the pipes were free of build up so we wouldnt have any future problems. Our anxiety was high as we had just remodelled our home but they were prompt, professional and cleaned up with very little evidence that they were ever there. We'd like to thank Gilbert for his knowledge, information and personality even at 11pm while he was under our kitchen sink !! And also Huge thanks to Mark and Mackenzie for coming in with the Jet truck and back breaking work removing all the yuck from our pipes. Every call was quickly answered and arranged by dispatch who were fantastic !! We would highly recommend Roto-Rooter to anyone !!

Plumber was friendly and honest. But company is a scam. We were quoted $69 to come out- which I thought was great and assumed that meant to diagnose and then any work needed would be additional based on time, job size, etc. The $69 ended up being literally for them to walk into the house. He said once he diagnoses the source of our leak or even “takes out any tool” the price goes to $289. Im not sure why anyone would pay to have a plumber literally just come over? We paid $69 to clear our schedule and make sure we were home during the 4 hour window, to have someone be here 30 minutes and say yes you have a leak( yes I’m aware that’s why I called you). Very misleading.

It was a kitchen drain clog that affected a sink, a disposer sink, and the dishwasher. The customer service center was top-notch, promising someone within two hours of when I called at 9:00 am. They updated me with the status of the person coming, and that person came 30 minutes before the scheduled time was over instead of the usual 30 minutes after. He was friendly and exceedingly competent. I got a quote for the job as they promised; I thought it was rathre high for a kitchen sink clog but I went with it because they were there and I needed to get on with my life.Ironically the local plumber I called first at 7:30am was trying to reach me at 9am while I was on the phone with RotoRooter, so I thought that I never did hear back from him when in fact he tried multiple times but I didn't check my answering machine. I think the local guy would have been cheaper for sure, but would he have come and been done in just two hours? I guess you get timely service when you pay a lot.

I ended up with an emergency sewer drain clog on Sunday night. The water started overflowing out of my washer drain. I am so happy I got a hold of Roto Rooter!! Ron was at my house within a couple hours and cleared the clog. He was very nice and informative. Not only that there was no emergency fee for them to come out! They told me I would be contacted to do a camera scope of the drain. The very next day I got a call from Brian and he was at my house that morning. He let me watch the video of the camera going down so I could see the problem as well. Low and behold we have a problem. After talking with Brian they are coming out again today to hydro jet my pipes to clear the clogs. I couldn't be happier with the service. Everyone that I have talked to within the company including the dispatchers have been great and have worked with my work schedule as well! I would highly recommend them to anyone with plumbing problems! Thank you for helping us!!!

Beware of the pricing! Almost 300 dollars to replace an 8 dollar fill valve! The plumber Jeff was at the house for less then 20 mins total for the job, and billed for 3 hours! Pricing for this job should have been more around 140.00 after doing research. Be more transparent in your pricing upfront! Be careful if you get Jeff at your door step, he's a wolf looking for prey.

Our water heater broke down over the weekend. We were able to get an appointment set up late Saturday night for Monday. Josh #7752 or 7750, the plumber, came between the estimated window of 12-4. He was very professional and helpful. He did not seem like he was just trying to sell us a more expensive service. He came back the next day right on time and installed a new water heater. He was very polite and made sure that it was okay to come into the house and sit down given the current state of things. He was very responsive to any questions that we had in regards to the warranty and if we had any questions who we should call. This was our first experience using Roto Rooter and would not hesitate to use them again!

Just today, we discovered that we had a sewer main blockage that was causing water and sewage to leak all over the basem*nt floor everytime we tried using water. After trying for over 2 hours to get a local plumber to come over late in the night, only to be told that the message is being relayed, we called roto rooter. Vivien arrived within 2 hours, and immediately went to work. Not only was he able to clear the blockage, but was able to determine that the pipe that connects our septic tank to the leach line is not level, which is the ACTUAL cause of the blockage.Because of Vivien's fantastic work, we now expect to be in touch with roto rooter ASAP to hopefully 1) fix the pipe so that it is level, and 2) to check for, and if needed, repair water damage, as well as potential mold restoration.Anyone else would have merely cleared the blockage and called it a day. But, Vivien went above and beyond to find the cause of the blockage, and offered a long term/permanent solution. We will absolutely be recommending our family and friends to use roto rooter for any plumbing issues, especially when they pop up unexpectedly in the middle of the night.P. S. It's now 7:37 AM, and the two local plumbing companies we initially contacted STILL haven't called back

I had to call roto rooter due to a stupid mistake of my own. Through a series of unfortunate events we somehow ended up with a foreign object flushed down the drain. After a week it got lodged into the main and caused a backup. When I came to the realization that I had to call someone I was sure it was going to be a multi thousand dollar proposition. After speaking to a few plumber friends they all agreed it should be handled by roto rooter as the clog was in the main.I called roto rooter at 3:35 PM. At 4:30 Chris and Joe showed up. I explained what happened, they looked at it, and gave me a price which was a small fraction of what I was expecting to pay. I agreed, they opened up the main drain and had it fixed in an hour. They were both extremely professional, neat, and really good at what they do. They cleaned up the floor better than it was before they got there and did a great job. They also both seemed to enjoy their job.I couldn't possibly be happier with the service

The initial tech that came out to look at our garbage disposal was very helpful. However, we later ran into problems with scheduling appointments. First they got our appointment time wrong and then during the time they were supposed to come for a rescheduled appointment they called to tell us no techs could make it. This was due to the amount of pipes that had burst over the extremely cold weekend, which is understandable, but it would have been better if they had set realistic expectations rather than making appointments they couldn't keep. When the techs finally did come they did a good job and were very friendly. Overall their ability to keep appointments is pretty bad, but their service is competent and friendly.

I cannot say enough about every Roto-Rooter associate who provided me service from the discovery of the water in my basem*nt through the mitigation of the damage. At every step I felt like a valued customer. The plumber who evaluated and diagnosed my problem went above and beyond to ensure prompt service to my home. The plumber who removed the old tank and replaced it with the new one was patient and kind with my many questions, explaining everything as he worked through the day. My Restoration Estimator took the time to help me understand the process of water mitigation and how they would partner with my home insurance provider. The 2 amazing men who spent the day evaluating and cleaning deserve recognition for their patience and kindness as a small problem grew by the hour, as they discovered more and more damage. They stayed well past their expected departure time, but were committed to finishing the job. Lastly, Jorge who came to my home to do the moisture readings and remove the equipment was kind and compassionate and attentive. Roto-Rooter turned what could have been a truly devastating experience and somehow made it easier. As a single mother of 2 girls, feeling respected, valued and safe means the world to me. I can not recommend Roto-Rooter any more strongly. Thank you ALL!

After billing us a considerable amount up front to fix a sewage issue in our basem*nt, they failed to show up to do the work until we called them repeatedly and threatened to fire them. Their water remediation team ran fans in our basem*nt that likely spread bacteria from the sewage spill around our home; a mistake which people familiar with this type of work identified in no time. No one on the team ever knew when anyone else would show up. Then a miscommunication between team members meant that much more cement and piping was removed by jackhammer than necessary, resulting in extra unnecessary work for the plumber - work which we were billed for. Finally when we tried to have this billing issue addressed we were ignored and no adjustment was made. And those are just the bigger issue that I can remember after a very frustrating experience. Avoid!! (Boston area)

Today I was in desperate need of plumbing work and it is very difficult to get a plumber to come on short notice. I was so happy when I called the RotoRooter number in the book and got Dawn, who nicely listened to me go on and on about my problem and then set me up an appointment.When Shawn, Tech #2882 showed up, right on time I began to relax. He was pleasant and kind and again listened to my story. He also went right to work fixing my problem and getting me the information I needed to never have this problem again.Often when you get a service person after lunch they are aggravated and short but not Shawn, he was GREAT!! So pleased with the service I received from this company and its workers. Hopefully won't need them again but they will be my first call if I do.

It seems this company is a complete scam. On 6/19/2023, I had an appointment for a draining issue in the bath sink and shower and after the visit they quoted $500 to fix boththe issue. I asked forthe time to think if I want to go ahead with the fix. I called them again on 6/26 that I would like to go ahead but this time they quoted $1000 for the same service which was completely shocking to me as we had a detailed discussion and it was told to me that we can fix this and the best price will be $500. I reported my concern and I was told that it will be addressed but they didn't. It seems they do not have any standard pricing for the specificjob and try to mint as much as possible which was a completely shockingexperience and not expected from a company which boasts otherwise. I wouldn't recommend thiscompany to anyone.

My drains backed up last week. The first Roto-rooter serviceman came to my house within an hour, identified the problem and told me that more extensive work would be needed. He removed tree roots growing through my drain pipes. Within a half hour after he left, I received a phone call from the second serviceman who said he would come out in 2 days to perform a video inspection of my pipes at no extra cost. After his inspection he informed me of my options and he called the third serviceman, Nelson P. who would arrive within the hour to power-jet the drain lines to the street, clearing the entire line of roots. Nelson was very thorough and would not leave until he felt the line was clear. He was excellent.

Our entire experience with Roto-Rooter was great. We had a blockage in our sewer line that turned out to be roots from a nearby tree. They came in, excavated the outside and simultaneously opened up the concrete in the basem*nt as well. They replaced all necessary parts, taking great care to disrupt our property, foundation and driveway as little as possible. Three hours later, they were done. Amazing work!

I am revising my 4-star review to one. I’d make it zero if I could. Two days ago I had sewage back up in my basem*nt. Rotor Rooter from Stoughton MA came within one hour of my emergency call. The technician said that their 100-foot rotor tool couldn’t go any further than 20’ or so, halfway to the street because the pipe had collapsed and there was no passage possible. They showed me a broken rotor blade that allegedly broke attempting to clear the blockage. A Roto-Rooter Sewer Solution Specialist arrived shortly after with a camera scope to confirm the damage and location of the collapse. He said I would need to replace a 5’ section of pipe 7’ below the surface. It would be replaced the next day for $11,500 but could be $5,000 more if there was more damage beyond the collapse. This seemed very expensive but planned to do it because it was “an emergency”. I couldn’t sleep that night thinking of the crazy price, so decided to get a second opinion. The company I found said they would look at the problem. They came over right away. They used a camera scope and found no breaks in the pipe. The blockage was due to a compressed toilet paper clog. It was quickly cleared without the need to replace my pipe for only a few hundred dollars. They saved me over $11,000. I slept well that night.

He was extremely professional, knowledgeable and courteous. It was a stressful situation for me and he put me at ease and answered all of my questions. It was top notch customer service and I would request Joseph when using Roto Rooters services for any future plumbing needs. It was an after hour call and he was here in a timely fashion and did not rush. He took his time and was very thorough! I honestly can not stress enough how satisfied I am with his services. I will recommend Roto Rooter to my family and friends for their plumbing needs as well! I wish I could give Joseph more than 5 Stars!

4/24/21 called RR because of clogs and water not draining in toilet and backing up in tub and kitchen water not draining and backing up into washing machine hose. They arrived in a timely manner. Claimed that for $615 they would fix the problem. He said that water will drain but for $1750 they will come back to get rid of all the grease in lines. Today Sunday called back because water in kitchen isn’t draining again but bathroom is. Today they want $565 to unclog kitchen because it a separate clog from 2 days ago. This sounds like like they are totally trying to rip us off with these extreme pricing. So in 2 days they want to charge $3000 to unclog because they are saying that each line is additional ridiculous charge.. does any of this sound right, this is in the Boston area

The hard working folks who did the dirty work were great... thanks! However, once I had to deal with the front office (Stoughton, MA) or management- things got bad. We had a repeat issue with our toilet so after the second time they took a video in the pipes to diagnose the problem so we could fix it and avoid a third visit. They never emailed me the video from the visit and I called countless times over the next 6 months or so. Never got called back, never got an email returned, and never received the video. When I finally did get in touch with someone they told me that videos are routinely discarded after 2 weeks... so mine was non-existent at that point. I emailed the local manager, a customer service manager and the director of public relations to discuss what a disappointing experience I had- and got nothing in response. They don't care! So frustrating and unprofessional, which is why I'm writing this and encouraging others to look elsewhere for plumbing problems. Do not use them!

They sent a text to confirm they were on their way but showed up at the very last minute of the two hour window.

My plumber Ronnie was absolutely wonderful. He called me to let me know that he was on his way and may be a bit late due to the rush hour traffic in downtown Boston, which I greatly appreciated. Upon his arrival he was very personable and cordial. While I brought him into the bathroom he had mentioned he had done some work in my apartment building in the past which was reassuring. He then gave me a diagnosis and went back to his truck to get the proper equipment necessary to do the job. Once he got his tools he was able to fix the problem in about ten minutes. He then had me fill out the proper forms he needed and also offered me a coupon to reduce the cost of the job which is always appreciated. Once that was all taken care of we chatted for 5-10 more minutes and he was on his way out into the cold to his next job. I would 10/10 recommend Roto-Rooter and Ronnie to anyone needing fast and reliable service in the greater Boston area. Thank for the work and positive attitude, Ronnie!

I was dealing with an extremely stubborn clog in my kitchen drain for a week. Thinking I could solve the problem myself, I tried the old chemical warfare to no success. My next step was to rent an electric snake. The 35 foot snake didn't work so I rented a 75 ft one. After several hours of trying, my friend had to give up (believe me he's a fighter with literally no quit in him). I finally decided to call in the pros. The first one that came to mind was Roto Rooter, that jingle just played in my head. The first tech arrived and battled like crazy for about 4 hours. He called in a back up tech (Ron #5592) and after an hour Ron was able to get the job done. The two techs were very professional and thorough. They showed great teamwork to get the job done! I would definitely recommend Roto Rooter for any job now!

In the end, it was some tree roots that had grown into my sewer line, which they explained was common. They answered all my questions and provided me with great information.

We needed emergency service and they were able to accommodate us which was fantastic! The serviceman that came was very efficient and professional. He explained options and what the worst case scenario could be. Fortunately it wasn't worst case. He cleared our drain, explained the situation and didn't try to lead us into unnecessary services or costs. Very pleased. Would not hesitate to call them again.

Joe came out quickly and cleaned our toilet line which was clogged and caused our toilet to leak at it's base when flushed. He got rid of all the garbage that caused the blockage, was very thorough explaining why and how it was blocked and cleaned up the after-mess thoroughly! He gave us excellent tips on how to avoid this problem going forward! Higy recommend Joe!

Job: when we ran this dishwasher, there would be water back up gushing back out through the kitchen sink. We also had a little bit of a clogging issue in our bathroom sink (although I'd used Liquid Plumr and a tool off of Amazon to clear debris). There's more con points but, if I'm honest, that would be nitpicking so I'll leave those out.Pros:-- Same-day service-- The tech offered to check out the bathroom sink AND the toilet (simple pressure issue) for free-- So far so good: everything seems to work fine.Cons:-- We didn't much appreciate the tech's dirty work boots, especially in the bathroom where he left boot prints all over the rugs-- The (2-hour) job cost us $600! For a drain clean?! What would it have cost for something more serious?-- The tech took out the drain plug in the bathroom sink and never put it back. I couldn't even fit one back if I wanted to go at it DIY style.ADDENDUM (8 months later)I'd been meaning to edit this but never got around to doing so. After I posted the above review, I was contacted by a supervisor who apologized for the quality of service and offered a $100 discount on any future jobs. I asked to instead get back that amount, to which he was amenable -- all this within a week.The job may not have been well done for the price, but I appreciate the swiftness of their customer service and for this, I give it 3 stars (vs. my original 2).

While both my son and husband spiked fevers of 103, we managed to clog our kitchen drain after dinner. We called RotoRooter and they had someone out within an hour and a half. He came in, was quiet because of the sick sleeping baby, kept all his tools so neat and organized and tried to finish up as quickly as he could. He was so kind and helpful. He quickly fixed the drain, he looked in the basem*nt to be sure there was no leaks or anything from us trying to fix the drain ourselves. He even went so far as to tell us there is an online rebate and took it off our bill (he said I had enough on my plate and didn't have time to go find some online rebate). Even though I stressed it didn't matter, he cleaned on his way out the door and left me with a working sink, and a clean kitchen before the expected arrival window closed. We have a trusty plumber we always call but when we ran into a last minute late night jam...rotorooters solved our HUGE problem. I highly recommend them for an in-a-pinch, late night emergency anytime! I certainly will not hesitate calling them if I run into this kind of situation again!

There simply isn't a better service in the Boston area. I learned early on, 15 years ago, that when other providers feel even the least bit inconvenienced, the price goes through the roof. I have NEVER had this issue with Roto-rooter. Prompt. Professional. Top Notch. I have never, ever felt as if i was inconveniencing them. Don't waste your time calling around. This is the place to go (Kyle #6651 is the model of professionalism).

Joe Rocca was stellar on a Sunday. We were having a drainage issue that started Saturday (the first guy was unfortunately unable to fix our issue as the problem was more extensive than expected), and Joe came to our rescue on Sunday. I can not thank Joe enough for being such an intelligent and conscientious person. Another worker may have come in angry that he had to work on a Sunday, tried to rush the job, and smashed open our valve - which would have resulted in major damage. Joe realized pretty immediately that the issue was with the city sewage system, and because he worked methodically he saved my house from any type of water damage. Joe stayed with us until the city resolved the sewage blockage and helped our family to remain calm when the problem seemed so unreal.Joe is my hero. He is the best asset Roto-Rooter could have - he really cares about the clients and makes them feel better during such a stressful time. Thank you!

I was very impressed with the promptness that Roto-Rooter displayed in answering my call for service. My drain pipe for the kitchen sink was clogged. I phoned Roto-Rooter at 9:00 AM. The person taking my call was extremely courteous, helpful and engaging. Something that many companies' call centers are lacking. I was told that a technician would be arriving early that afternoon. And at 12:00 noon the Roto-Rooter service technician arrived. He immediately identified the problem and set out to resolve it. The technician was courteous and was very professional. He adhered to Covid 19 guidelines by wearing a mask, keeping socially distant and requiring me to use my own pen for paperwork purposes. My problem was resolved and the technician thanked me for using Roto-Rooter. I would rate Roto-Rooter 5 stars except that I thought the price charged for the service was too high. The call center staff person, the promptness of response time, the service technician and the service performed were 5 star. The price charged for the service was NOT.

I am not one for writing reviews. I am a busy career woman my husband is a commercial scalloped and I have a 3 year old who is not a simple child to say the least. Anyhow to make this shorter let me get to the facts. I was feeling sick for many months. It was mysterious and scarey. My son was also not himself. Very lethargic something was up. To my surprise my floors one morning we’re all buckled leading me to call a certain company I had seen driving there green trucks around. Told my insurance they would be doing the job. Well they dissapointed me more then I can express. Came to see me only after 9 days while the leaking continued. Skeduled more silly appt just prolonging getting to the issue. Meanwhile I was sicker. This company which lucky for them I will not put them directly on blast came finally cut a huge hole into my wall set up equipment sprayed my home in that tiny spot and left plastic everywhere dirty equipment I was horrified. Said they would call me. So needles to say they had not even began to find the source of the problem just cut out a piece of my contaminated wall?? Seriously!! Sicker...... sicker. I had placed several call to them and was never answered well a week later! Browsing the web in desperation o found ROTO-Rooter. We all know to well the catchy fm tune they certainly have been around they have staying power. Called and a gentleman name Mike T. Called me back within 20 minutes. I had explained I wasn’t feeling well and that was all he needed to drive almost an hour to me THaT very day to see what was going on get the facts. He could have came the next day and had the business no he shot right up there and that spoke for itself. That man stayed with me and talked less and listens so much more. I was desperate. He did reads investigated around and came up with what he personally assumed it may be. Well he was actually spot on! I said you guys are hired! I mean you do not find people that compassionate. He is such a gem! He got the ball rolling within days his Manager Scott rushed to my home again almost an hour away taking lab samples he wanted to submit. I mean everyone was truly seriously concerned for my son.? That going out of your way to say I need to know what you are dealing with YOU need to know. Again I was alone husband was fishing in the beginning of this. Promptly Scott set up his Team of 3 amazing people to come to our home first thing Monday morning! Mind you this was only 6 short days since my call! And if the leak was still dripping the walls probably would have been down even sooner! Amazing!The 3 gentleman I will also never forget. Jorge the supervisor was so assertive like let’s do this let’s get this done yet nothjng he did wasn’t run along my husband careful and consciously. I mean this man was meant to do this! Damian and Patrick also listened to me they respected my home my health.They did not incur more damages then nessecary and they made sure becaue I seen them myself throughly check and recheck for any contaminates!! Which in fact they sure did find them! Those 3 men worked there in 96 degree heat outside nonstop and a fast fast 10 minute lunch becaue they wanted this to be resolved correctly and didn’t want us worried any longer. They finished up quite late in the evening and when ever I walked back into the house later as my husband stayed with them during the day it looked as if my home was cleaner then I left it! I am soooo shocked! I was resorted to tears. You just do not find that type of crew compassion or assertiveness and HONESTY as much anymore! I have NOT been asked nor put up to this review. This is genuine from my heart because I know there will be someone else unfortunately who is faced with this terrible situation. After the first company mistreated us having Roto come to deal with this was the best thing the literal answer to my prayers. I only hope this review can help a struggling person who needs a fantastic plumber and water damage specialist they can count on... bless you all!...see photo so tidy spotless equipment!

The first technician did a great job walked me through the process. Also told me I would get a free camera view to see if there was a reason the main kept getting clogged. Once he was finished he cleaned up and said another tech would be by to take pictures with the camera. Once the next tech came it was 2 of them they came about 9pm and told me they wouldn’t be able to use the camera because of the location of the main and that they would have to basically do the main for about $6000 grand then they’d be able to see the problem. So I told them I’m all set. When I got their report they left out the part I just spoke of and said I declined services. I’ll probably never use Roto Rooter again. The lady 2 techs were unethical and told a lie as to why work wasn’t done.

Eutis (I think I spelled his name incorrectly, but cannot find out how to spell it right) came by and diagnosed the issue. He was very transparent with the pricing: faucet gets fixed, or I don’t pay anything. Indeed, we debugged the clogged faucet problem, but because he thought it would be more worthwhile to me to check manufacturer’s warranty first, we decided to leave the faucet as is for now. Even though the problem didn’t get resolved, I appreciated his transparency and efforts, and gave him a tip on his way out.This is a great example of putting customers first. I hope Roto Rooters hires more staff like him. When the time comes to do other work, I will be considering Roto Rooters again.

Outdoor catch basins (2) all running clear! Tavio was in and out in 45 minutes. Great attitude, knew his craft well, delivered effectively and efficiently. My rating of him is 5 stars as noted!Less impressive was company scheduling and price. Took three different scheduled time frames to get one to actually work. Issues with truck breakdowns and equipment breakdowns. They said the truck is old and breaks down all the time.First call was on an Wednesday. First appt was set for the next day Thursday (Thanksgiving day). No show. Second appt was on Sat. No show. Third appt was Monday. So much for 24 x 7 advertising.Also, $895 for one hour seemed extremely high. Think they have figured out they have a captive audience and are likely taking advantage of their customers. Be aware.I would rate the company a 2 out of 5 for these two reasons. Tavio was great!

Awful, call a local plumber instead, horrible management as well. They charged me $465 ($425 with coupon) to unclog a drain that took an hour and a half. That's not the bad part yet. I told him that was steep but didn't care because I wanted the drain unclogged. His snake was frozen so he asked if he could thaw it out in my tub, I said yes. What a disaster he left my bathroom in. There was so much dirt on his snake that my drain in the tub clogged temporarily. My wife and I got that unclogged because we didn't realize what a mess he made until after he had left. After the plumber left, my dishwasher no longer works and the faucet spits water out. My faucet was perfectly fine prior and I've never had an issue with my dishwasher. They sent a follow-up plumber a couple days later (they said he'd be there at 8AM, at 9:30AM I called them and they advised that they never put a ticket in the system, he didn't show until 11), after I called, and he said that it was a coincidence (was totally just BS'ing me the whole time). I told him that I spent too much money to now have to get someone else to fix my dishwasher and faucet. He said that the reason they charge so much is because people usually go to them in emergency situations and they take advantage of them for that. I couldn't believe this so I told him that I was done talking to him and to have his manager call me. He left without fixing anything, he said he's never worked on a dishwasher before (why was he the one sent?????). His manager Bill called me and they are still trying to say that it is not their problem, but is going to call me back with a solution. It has been a few days and a couple of voicemails later and I still have not heard anything from him! Just awful.

Context: We just moved into a new house (renting), the dishwasher wasn't draining properly, and the sink had a slow leak.The good:Scheduling was relatively easyTime block was from 8am-12pm (so at least it wasn't all day)Got a call around 10am to confirm I was still available and they'd be here in 45min (decent communication)The technicians were respectful, courteous, and explained why they couldn't address itThe not so good:They couldn't do anything to help because Roto-Rooter sent a technician, not a plumberThe techs said all they can really do is snake a drain 🙃It turns out they're understaffed and their plumbers aren't servicing this areaSo I basically wasted my morning because I had to stay home from work to be here for their arrivalLessons learned:Be VERY specific about the issue, maybe it would have helped?Call an actual plumber and not this company

The good: The plumber, Elie, was efficient, professional and very personable. He quickly evaluated the situation dealt with it and cleaned up afterwards.The not so good: When we placed the service call at about 9:15 AM, we were told a service person would be here between 9 and 11. We received a voicemail at about 11, but I could not understand the mumbled message. A little after 11, I called Roto Rooter and was advised they were having delays and would call when the service person was on his way. Elie arrived at 1:35 PM. Other than the delays and lack of communication, this would have been a 5-star review

This was the first time I have had to call Roto-Rooter and being a first time home owner they were great to deal with. From the first person I spoke to placing the service call then the follow up phone call I received to give me an update on when the Tech was going to be onsite. ( which they called less than ten minutes later ) then my Tech Gary (777) arrived on site and we did a walk through of what the problem was. Gary came up with a plan to solve our problem and then started to implemented it , by pulling the toilet on the first floor instead of opening up the clean out in the basem*nt which would cause a lot of waist water to dump into the basem*nt. then used an agar snake to see if he could clear the clog. which it did thank god! then made sure water was flowing out. then offered to have the line snaked with a camera to see what and where the problem was. once Gary was done he cleaned up the bathroom ( spotless ) and made the appointment for Monday morning to have the drain snaked with a camera. then that tech called to confirm and set a time, which was great. overall from start to finish they were very professional and this is coming from a Service Tech from another field. Even though there maybe some other problems we have uncovered with roots ect. I was happy with the service call and that I can call 24/7.I would like to thank Gary for a great job

After noticing water backing up in our washing machine drain on a Friday afternoon, I was able to schedule an appointment for the following day between 9 am and 1 pm. I was notified around 1:30 pm that our technician was on his way, so we unfortunately had wasted our entire morning waiting around the house during our actual appointment window. Our service technician was quite friendly, and after a bit of exploration and a couple failed attempts, he was able to get our pipe opened up and everything working again. However, for a $500 service, he left both areas he worked in a complete disaster, which I then had to clean up. The convenience and availability of weekend appointments was great, and having what was claimed to be a difficult clog mitigated was very much appreciated, but the lack of timeliness and the resulting mess were not.

Emaile the website for Roto Rooter and got a notification I would be the first call on Saturday morning. An believe it or not that's exactly what happened. Gary the tech Assessed thesituation and offered suggestions and solutions for the future as well. He brought in the machine but made no mess to speak of whatsoever. After snaking approximately 100 feet of pipe the drain was clean and running freely. He cleaned up and washed the area and was in and out in under an hour.Great service and a very professional technician Thanks Roto Rooter, I'm sorry you had to come but I'm glad you are there when needed.

Roto-Rooter was professional, precise and just terrific. My own plumber was unable to solve my drain problem and suggested I call Roto-Rooter. I was not happy that my plumber left a mess frankly, but Roto-Rooter took care of that issue even though it was not their doing. I was treated so well I would not hesitate to call them again. Excellent communication skills, superior customer service, prompt and explained everything. Shawn was wonderful and Kevin was right. Follow through also excellent.I want to give RotoRooter another set of 5 stars. Today the camera specialist came to review the work done last week in the main drain to insure everything was cleared. It was amazing that another technician came out to inspect the work after it was competed. Upon discussion with that professional who showed me the results/pictures, I decided to have the main drain repaired. The customer truly gets to work with these professionals and see the problem, not merely be told what the problem is. John O'Leary, the drain camera tech, was not only thorough but precise as we discussed options for repair. He also contacted Peter, water jet specialist, who arrived immediately while John stayed to review the work. Both professionals came today, right away, to do the prep work for the new drain. I couldn't be more pleased. They discussed solutions with me, options were priced out immediately and I was totally reassured. The technology used to resolve the issue, their knowledge base, communication skills and the guarantees along with the detailed paperwork were outstanding. Impressive.

We had a fiberglass tub that cracked and was leaking water in our dining room downstairs whenever we took a shower. We needed to have our tub replaced, and the plumber we normally used quoted is a ridiculously high price (that didn’t even include the tub!) and said it would be a day and a half job for 2 guys. This was after we had already had them out once before to get a quote on replacing the tub and they told us it wasn’t necessary. That the leak was coming from somewhere else. (It wasn’t.)So we went to Lowes, bought a tub and started leaving messages with a bunch of local independent plumbers. Only one called us back and said he could do the tub replacement, but he would have to find a plumber. (Uh…I thought YOU were the plumber?!?)Almost giving up hope, we decided to call Roto Rooter. Lillian answered the phone and immediately got us an appointment for an estimate. She was fantastic! Such a calming voice and super nice. She told us who and what to expect when they came out.2 days later, Charles came give us an estimate - which was HALF what I was quoted before. He was also super nice and explained everything about how he would do the job. He was honest with us from the beginning and it was such a relief to be spoken to like a fellow human being instead of being talked down to.A week later, Charles and Dan arrived to do the job. Both were extremely friendly and professional. They did the job in half a day, did exactly what they said they were going to do and cleaned everything up afterwards, including taking the old tub away.Working with Roto Rooter was an absolute pleasure from beginning to end. We will definitely be using Charles and Dan for any future plumbing needs that arise and we can’t recommend them enough!If you’re looking for knowledgeable, professional, respectful and friendly plumbers - call Roto Rooter and ask for Charles and Dan!

This service is a ripoff.First I called for their drain service and they charged me $329 to snake the drain. It was $565 but he couldn't fix it so had to discount it. They did that and blew a hole in the pipe causing it to leak.Now I had to call a plumber which they conveniently had on-hand. I asked his rate and he didn't answer and said this is what everyone charges. Ok dude. He was a nice guy overall though.$2100 to bust open part of a ceiling and replace a P trap. I'm pretty handy and I know how overpriced that was. I paid another guy $1500 to put in an entirely new heating zone.Thanks for letting me know the companies I'll need to avoid.

Ron has the knowledge and experience to do the job right. He takes the time to explains the problem and answer any questions that you may have. It is not pleasant to have a plumbing problem, but it is pleasant to work with someone who cares about the customer, knows how to get the job done and does it with the least amount of disrubtion possible.

These gentlemen were outstanding. They dug up the ground, replaced a pipe, and put everything back exactly the way they found it. They were efficient, professional, and answered all my questions— and the best part, it was all accomplished with a really good sense of humor for what otherwise could have been a real sh*t show.

Stephen H. was excellent! He was very thorough and informative and helped me to understand what the problem was along with possible solutions. My only complaint was he came 3 hours later than expected. I don't think that it was his fault and the Roto-Rooter office kept me informed as to how long it would be before he could get there. Some jobs are bigger than expected. So I understand that, but I did wait around for 3 extra hours.

Do not call a plumber if you have a clogged drain!! We had a professional plumber out who attempted to fix our problem only to have it return again and flood our whole basem*nt. Roto-Rooter came out *same day* and found the root cause of the issue and fixed it properly. The technician was professional and determined to find the issue which was actually hidden behind the wall. For a while we weren't sure if we were going locate it, but with his professional experience he knew there was a drain catch that should have been back there. He found it & the drainage is 1000% better. Mike was great and he provided us advice on how to avoid it in the future. Highly recommend. Wish I called them the first time!! Nicole K. Topsfield, MA

The Roto-Rooter team came as planned and on time to my condo. They were polite and carefully explained what they would do. They worked quickly and quietly (as possible) and cleaned up after themselves. They even helped fix a leaky P-Trap before they left. I received a written explanation of what they did with my bill. Their prices were very reasonable and I was relieved to NOT have to pay extra for a weekend plumbing emergency that was handled expertly (they were the second call to fix my issue - I will never call them second again!!). They are TOPS in my list of drain specialists now and I have let my condo neighbors know as well.

We had been living with a mostly clogged kitchen sink for almost two weeks - it was draining very, very slow and we tried all the at home tricks. We plunged, we use very hot water, vinegar & baking soda, more plunging, tried a manual auger through the u-bend, and then as a last ditch effort tried to use Drano the night before we called on Roto-Rooter.I used online scheduling (love that) on Wednesday night for a Thursday morning appointment between 8 and 12. I received an email and text confirmation right after booking and then another text at 7:20 letting me know that Kenny was on the way. Kenny arrived at 8:20, proposed a solution, we talked about contingencies and wort case scenarios, discussed quote, I signed off, and the work began. He was patient with all my questions (I like to learn and ask lots of questions) and professional, efficient, and cleaned up after himself (had moved the washer, he moved it back before leaving and wiped up where there was a little spillage from the clean out).After a subsequent snaking, he found some old lingering grease and proposed a pipe shield monthly cleaning solution, but wasn't pushy about it either. I opted to buy and I'm looking forward to some preventative treatments that I can take care of myself!Kenny wrapped up in about an hour, he left about 9:15.All in all, I had a great experience, from scheduling, to solution paths, to work execution. I also have peace of mind in case something flares up again in the next 6 mths (guarantee).Thanks Kenny & Team!

I had two, slow-draining drains that could use some attention (bathtub and bathroom sink). I called Rotorooter as they were well reviewed.The window I was given was between 8-10 am, and I was told that I would receive an email confirmation and a phone call approximately 40 minutes before the employee arrives. I received no email and no phone call, and the gentleman arrived at 9:50 A.M.We walked to the bathroom and I ran both faucets. The guy looked at both for about 30 seconds and suggested we snake them. Seems fair and about what I had expected. Then he told me the price: $733. Yes, $733 to snake two drains. It was nearly $500 to snake a single drain, and the second drain was “half-off.” I told the guy “no way,” and he said ok and left.Do yourself a favor and do just the slightest bit of research when it comes to cost of snaking a drain. These guys were legitimately twice the price of what other local businesses charge. We’re not talking a bathroom remodel here, it was snaking two drains.

Raw sewage started coming up into my basem*nt! Called Rotorooter who told us they were treating us as an emergency, and a technician appeared promptly. He explained everything clearly and planned out the next steps. A second tech came the next day and did a camera check and found that tree roots had invaded the pipe all the way out to the street. Another tech came out and hydrojetted, which cleared the line, and the next day a team came out and did a zero-dig pipe restoration, creating a pretty-much-everything-proof liner. In the interim, another tech had visited to discuss and schedule the final cleanup. These guys told us everything every step of the way - what would happen, when, how long it would take, what it would be like, what it would cost, and what to do about the insurance claim. We're a Covid-conscious household with immunosuppressed members and everyone from RR who came in was prepared with a mask. My brother, an appraiser, did a quick eval of their services and costs compared to other companies, and was very satisfied. I wholeheartedly endorse this company and would use them again (though I hope I don't have to!).

We had a leaky toilet in our new apartment, and needed an emergency plumbing service. Due to COVID-19, many of the plumbing companies we called were unresponsive or had us leave a message. However, Roto-Rooter picked up our call right away and informed us that they would be able to send a technician to come take a look within an hour, and would give us a quote free of charge. Ron (#5592) arrived promptly in protective gear, assessed the problem, and offered to fix it in the same day (for a very reasonable price). After signing the papers, Ron got to work right away. The fix took around 1 hour, and sure enough afterwards, our toilet was completely fixed! Ron was professional and fast, and I could not ask for better service. Would highly recommend Roto-Rooter for any plumbing work!

Only took about 15-20 minutes to fix once he arrived. Good communication from corporate about when resource was arriving. Only criticism was that on first call to corporate, they told me the fee would be assessed once the person saw the job, but then the guy got here and said it is a flat fee ($289).

I used this service since it had a high rating. I think if you have a basic need that most do it yourself can do yourself this is the over priced service for you. The guy that came for my problem spent most time scratching his head saying he doesn't know then tried to say leak was tub spout. Which I am 100 percent sure it isn't because I replaced myself after he left but even if it was tub spouts they screw on and off. To fix this he wanted 4 times what any decent plumber would charge. I recommend you go to another service unless you need a easy job done quick for a lot of money. So I am back to square one have another plumber coming Friday just feel like they only care about their guarantee $70 surcharge not the job definitely not quality service.

Use this company as your last resort. I schedules a 4 hour time window apt and they came 2 hours after that time frame passed. They refused to give me the estimate cost to snake my kitchen sink on the phone. Once the plumber finally came he said that it will cost $465 dollars no matter if it takes him 10 min vs. 4 hours. It took him less than 20 min to do. The biggest scam of a company.

Wasn’t to happy with the company in general, the technicians were very friendly and very quick to respond considering it was after 5pm…I had a clogged main sewer line and they tried snaking it for few hours, then basically gave up, saying they sent their largest snake 80 feet and couldn’t get the line unclogged. I took some measurements there is 30ft in my house and 18ft to my street main, very odd they can get a snake 32 ft into the main and still have a clogged line. Claiming it could be grease or roots. So they proceeded to tell me I was going to need to have my line jetted for about $1800. I told them I was all set and ended up having to writing them a check for $450….the next morning I went and bought a drain king water bladder and freed my main drainage pipe in about five minutes, only cost me 40 dollars. (With a few pairs of giant rubber gloves)All in all I wouldn’t use there services again. No offense to the techs they were very nice guys but seems like they are trained to upsell their customers instead of simply fixing the issue at hand.

I never write reviews. But for this, I had to. Our Roto-Rooter technician, Ralph F., arrived at our home around 10pm - the end of a long day for him. He was considerate and helpful. We had large root clogs, at different depths, in the main drain line. Frank took a couple out, using a 150 pound machine that had to be carried into our basem*nt, but the main was still clogged, as we could see with a video camera that was placed 30 feet down the line. It was now 1245 am. We had a similar problem several years ago, as I explained to Ralph. He listened to my request and explanation of how much further the root clogs could extend. He brought the cutting machine out again, and started over. Eventually, he reached the last clogs and successfully cleared the line around 130am. The most impressive aspect of this experience, is that the technician actually listened to the homeowner. I would definitely call again.

Roto-Rooter was extremely prompt (out to our house within 2hrs of my call!), professional, and I felt very safe with their work in this COVID environment. The technician on site was extremely clear and communicated to me throughout his work. The issue was fixed quickly, and I could not be happier to have my plumbing issue resolved.

The two techs I had Joe 2911 and Ryan 3993 were outstanding! They were professional and friendly around my family and both were very hard workers. After 3 hours of work they were able to power through not one but two frozen clogs 20’ and 35’ down mitigating any future damages we would have incurred.Best part was when I walked through all the areas they had worked, they had already cleaned them and put them back as they were.I have no doubt we will use them again if/when we have any issues.Thankfully,The Kennett’s Amesbury, Ma!

We had a leaking shower mixing valve that was leaking water into the basem*nt. They came and attempted to repair the valve however it was too corroded and needed to be replaced. The repair was done in an efficient timeline and the work is very well done, however the final bill was quite expensive. Overall we are pleased with the outcome.

Yeah, haven't even seen the plumber yet. Scheduled a time for 10 - 2 at my condo which had to shut off the water during this time period for the ENTIRE association. They knew I lived in a condo and said that they should be here around 10. Turns out it's now 1pm and they are still not here, rescheduling for another water shut off will take time since it will affect all the condo units and the HoA does not want back to back shut offs (for obvious reasons since it is an inconvenience to everyone living in the condo association).So calling these people didn't help, one told me that was the time range they should be at the job site, despite the fact that the original rep i talked to told me that they will be there at 10 and will call 30 mins prior to getting there. Then they give me an excuse (after calling out that they were supposed to be on call 24/7), that they had 2 people on vacation, 1 plumber on all day call, and last plumber having a job taking longer than scheduled. So why overbook your appointments if you only have 1 person on actual call? Not to mention once she found out that the plumber was on the way (this was at 12, it's been an hour and no sign of the plumber) she promptly hung up, after I told her that the plumber needs to call me so that i can give them the number to the HoA to speak to the maintenance guy about the water shut offs. Just ok, then hang up.worst service I've ever dealt with. Figured we'd go here because of all these great reviews but I guess not. Should've just gone with a friend of mine instead.Not worth dealing with again.Update:Plumber came at 1:25pm, and stated that replacing the shutoff valve plus redoing the drainage pipe would cost ~$415 (he gave a 15% discount) and stating that it's going by the book prices that's been put out by this company. So not only were they late by almost 3.5 hours but the company over charges. Being extremely frustrated and tired with this overall situation, and working with the HoA to extend the water off time that was already set, I just went with it.Worst experience I've ever had with ANY COMPANY EVER. I strongly do not recommend. And looking at a review from 3 months ago seems that I wasn't the only case that this has happened to.P.S.Plumber was nice and understanding (I have nothing against him since he had a job that took longer and he's the only plumber going to site to site that isn't at an all day job or on vacation) has to go by what the company set for prices. Which mind you costs 382 just to come and diagnose the problem. So there's that.

I called Roto-Rooter when I broke my snake trying to unblock my laundry drain. I was unable to remove the snake from my drain, and the drain was completely blocked. I called Roto-Rooter on a Saturday evening, and I was able to get an appointment the next day. The serviceman, Ron (#5592) arrived when expected. He was able to unblock my laundry drain and loosen the broken snake so it could be removed from the drain. The serviceman spent the time to make sure the drain worked properly. And in inspecting the drain pipe found a small leak, which he also repaired. I appreciated his diligence in making sure everything was working properly.

First time trying Roto Rooter to fix my bathroom sink drain clogged due to a laundry washer water back flow issue. The subcontractor team is rude, not on time, not friendly, unprofessional, overpriced, and not willing to do the work. I switched to Johnson Bro Plumbing and they were able to fix all the drain issues and delivering their work with professionalism, great service and much more reasonable price! To the management team of Roto Rooter, please hire your technicians that knows good customer service! We as customer do not want to spend highly cost repair with horrible service. Do not waste your money & time with them! Zero Star! Zero customer service technicians!

We called Roto-Rooter because the set tub was draining very, very slowly, and we were concerned about a possible overflow. We were told that someone would be at our house between 12:30 - 2:30 that same day, despite not being an emergency situation. Although the technician did not arrive until about 3:30, Roto-Rooter was very good about calling and informing us about the delay, and provided us with a new expected arrival time. Upon reaching our house, the tech was courteous, professional, and informative. He took care of the problem quickly and efficiently, and provided tips on how to avoid clogged drains in the future. We are very happy with our experience today. We certainly will call Roto-Rooter should the need arise in the future, and would heartily recommend Roto-Rooter.Dot and Bob,Needham, MA

We had a clog in the waste line inside the house that caused a backup. Unfortunately, we didn't notice until there was water on the basem*nt floor. We called Roto-Rooter on Saturday morning and the technician, Stephen, arrived promptly for the appointment later that morning. He explained what was going to be done, how much it was going to cost, and provided updates as the work progressed. What was especially impressive was his conscientiousness throughout. After removing the clog, he not only checked that water flowed freely through the line but also ran a camera down to ensure that there wasn't anything else that could develop into a future problem. Although the connection to the city sewer line was not part of the problem, he also checked to verify that the line was clean, root-free and without sags that could potentially cause problems in the future. Given the amount of work that was required and the conditions where the work was done, it was nice to see that there were no surprises on the bill and the price quoted earlier was the price that we paid. We were very happy with the prompt, conscientious, and thorough service that Stephen and Roto-Rooter provided.

After contacting 3 local plumbers regarding a sewer line back-up and receiving absolutely no response, we contacted Roto-Rooter. The reason I am giving them a 4 star and not 5 star is because when you call they will give you a 4 hour window for someone to call you back. When your sewer line is backed-up, 4 hours is a bit excessive.Received a call about an hour later that technician Patrick would be on his way. Patrick quickly diagnosed the problem and got to work quickly and efficiently to get our plumbing back in order. I also found Patrick to be very friendly and polite.I will certainly consider using Roto-Rooter again.

My sink stopped draining last Friday night so I had to wait until Monday to call a plumber to avoid weekend fees, but when I did, none of the local independent plumbers could come to my house in the evening when I'd be home. Roto-Rooter was my last choice and I wish now I had called them first--on Friday. I called around 4pm and someone was at my house by 7pm. Ron was friendly and explained to me exactly what the problem was before (and while) he fixed it (build-up from waste disposal in the old pipes), and how to avoid it happening again in the future (avoiding using the disposal is the best way, but I don't think I'll be giving that up anytime soon!). I was afraid he'd leave a mess on my kitchen floor and offered him a towel, but he said he'd take care of it and he did. Not a drop anywhere. My sink was cleared quickly and Ron was great. I couldn't be more pleased.

Service tech Mike showed up and was very friendly upon greeting me. Told him I thought we had at a potential issue with tree roots in drain pipe causing overflow when washing machine drained. He explained what he would do in detail and ultimately wound up finding roots in the main pipe outside the house which he pulled out with the snake. He then explained I would receive a call from Roto Rooter to have someone come and put a camera down the pipe to ensure there are no larger issues and there was no extra cost. He checked the drain pipe from washing machine to the foundation where he snaked for the roots, found no issues, and had me run a wash cycle to ensure the water did not back up again. During each phase he was great about explaining things and ultimately ensuring that the main issue was resolved.He explained everything on the invoice and re-stated information about getting a call to have a camera put down the pipe. Nice to have such detailed and friendly people.

Gilbert and Vincent did an amazing job resolving our frozen pipe situation. They were able to thaw the pipes quickly and without incident. They even came back a few minutes later of their own accord to check and see if our water heater had kicked off since we’d been without hot water for several hours - it had indeed turned off, and Gilbert reset it for us. And they came back a third time when the basem*nt shower had an issue after it finally thawed! They had been unable to access the pipes for that shower due to the design of the plumbing, but were able to make sure everything was in working order once those pipes thawed. Excellent service.

A slowly clogging main drain pipe came to a head on a Friday afternoon. Our regular plumber didn't carry the gear for such a large pipe and he suggested Roto-Rooter. We called dispatch at 4 pm and they said a tech could get out to the house at 8:00pm. They called back at 5:30. The tech would be there early, in about 30 minutes. Amazing, as we live closer to 495 than 95. Bob B #1137 arrived promptly. He's a kind, and soft spoken fellow. He calmly assessed the situation, and gave us a quote, without a hard sell. The price was exactly where we expected it would be. He thought it might take up to an hour. He worked for almost three hours. The drain pipe was a lot worse than he thought initially. He tackled a tough job on a Friday night with not a complaint nor gripe. He was a gentleman and saved us in a tough spot. Thank you, Bob.

He helped me speak with my insurance company and set up a claim. he had his crew there working within the hour. These two gentlemen, I forgot their names, were awesome.

The service was supposedly $615 and they applied a $100 discount. I declined and asked for just a non-waranty drain unclogging. They wouldn't do it. I sent them away and my drain is still clogged.They also blocked my driveway and obstructed a road near a blind spot. For my location this isn't unusual, but it's annoying.

When Ron number 5592 showed up my wife and I were pleasantly surprised on how nice his demeanor was. He took a quick look came back and fixed it and was extremely personable.

The guy arrived on time and fixed the problem. But he had to go get a part and the place is about 10 minutes away. It is a common part but he said the plumbing supply didn’t have the part and he had to go to 2 other places! Come on- it was lunch time and went for lunch. The piece he replaced I was charged $65 for and I previously bought the piece for under $10 but couldn’t find it. So what could have been a 90 minute job (including getting the part) cost $650! I’m never calling RotoRipOff again.

He also was polite, professional and very knowledgeable. I explained the problem, he assessed it, grabbed the needed tools and went to work. Within 25 minutes, the main line was unclogged. Hooray! I was very nervous about my wife, toddler and infant waking up along with not using any wayer due to the main line being basked up. Roto Rooter saved the night.

This time I called Roto Rooter to come to the rescue on a weekend evening.No way was I going to attempt this again. The service man Ron was very pleasant in repairing the clogged flush saying to much paper was used. He cleaned the area with spray and paper towels making sure nothing dripped on my floors as he brought it back out to his truck. He also mentioned about a coupon on line. Money is tight this time of year so he told me about it, which he didn't have to. So thankful for such an understanding, thoughtful service man who truly cares about customers.

A technician showed up with a $79 travel fee to replace the kitchen disposal unit - quoted $850 for that.Update - company management called me and reiterated that $850 is what the company charges for disposal replacement.A new disposal unit costs $100-$150 and takes about 30 minutes to install for anyone with experience, so perhaps $350 would be reasonable?I guess it makes sense to the company to walk away with $79 for 5 minutes of a technician's 'diagnosis' time, but they will not get any more business from me.

Called RotoRooter and was met with very helpful dispatcher who said someone would be available in one hour. Since it was my first time using RotoRooter I was doubtful, but within that time Ron showed up ready and willing to fix the main water line back-up.My washing machine had backed up into the toilet and the entire bathroom floor was flooded. He quickly assessed the problem which was located in a tiny crawlspace under the house (lots of spiders), with very little light and lots of dirt. He immediately got to work and unclogged the line that was closest to the city line. All was cleared - the toilet flushed, the washing machine drained, and Ron left a helpful hint regarding keeping the drains clear. Thanks for great service!

Ron got straight to work hauling all his needed equipment in and got right to snaking out the drain clog. It was a really bad clog but he was relentless and didn’t quit until the sink was draining like brand new. I really appreciate rotorooter sending such an experienced person to take care of the problem the first time correctly instead of having to return repeatedly like other companies would have. Thanks again Ron for taking such good care of my house and my family.

Be sure to get other quotes. These guys were upward of $500 more than other companies to replace my HW heater, parts and labor. Crazy. They are predators.They did come within the 4 hour window they provided and charged me a $69 consult fee. Other companies do not have or will wave if you ask them. They do not give any prices over the phone.Wish I had done a bit more calling around before requesting their services.I do not recommend. At all.

The service technician was knowledgeable and helpful and fixed the problem. What I did not appreciate is the fact that when I called requesting service, I was not advised that it would be $565 if he was here 10 minutes or 10 hours. I didn't know that until the tech was here at 730 in the evening and he told me he needed a check for that amount. As a senior, it was quite overwhelming. He was here two hours. You should have some sort of sliding scale for your services. It would have to be a dire emergency for me to use you again.

Charles was great! Very knowledgeable and respectful. Price was a little more than expected called originally for a clog due to the age of the pipe it ruptured and the trap needed to be replaced. Which was understandable. The pipe was over 100 years old and stuff happens.Overall great experience would recommend.

I was also told that my service person would call 1/2 hour before arriving. Every thing went according to plan. Charles (4936) spent quite a while at my house trying to solve my problem & was determined to finish the job completely which also included cleaning up & explaining to me how to take care of my pipes in the future. He also explained each step he was taking during the visit. He was very knowledgeable and efficient. I would not hesitate to call this company again and highly recommend them.

I had a terrible smell ( like something died) coming from all of my drains and feared the worst. I got help from Ralph at Roto-Rooter within an hour and because it was only a matter of using an enzyme solution to treat the bacteria that was causing the odor, I was not even charged for the visit. I bought 2 gallons, used about 2 cups total and ran it through all my pipes and we were all clear and odors disappeared the next day. This was one of my best experiences with professionals who help me take care of my house. I now plan to do this process monthly. Thank you, Roto-Rooter!

This was the first time I ever used Roto-Rooter. It was a Tuesday evening when I called and within 20 minutes Bob Tech 1137 and Garett showed up around 8pm. They were there for a few hours. They were phenomenal! I had no idea what to expect having never used this company before. And it can be a bit unnerving to have strangers show up at your house that you don’t know especially in the evening. Well, Bob and Garett far exceeded whatever my expectations were. Made me so comfortable from the get go. I have cognitive challenges but Bob explained everything to me from start to finish on what they had to do and what would happen in a way I understood. I had a major clog that when I flushed the toilet upstairs my downstairs toilet overflowed. I had just moved into this home in October so I was very concerned. When Bob and Garett finished, Bob told me that my son's bathtub was full with sewer but he cleaned it up! It never occurred to me to look in the bathtub. He went over and above what is expected. That is amazing customer service, a rarity to find these days. The pricing was very reasonable and I asked if I needed to be on a service contract (most companies would jump at that question) and Bob said nope. Gave me instructions on how treating my pipes going forward. As late as it was when they finished, (around 10:30pm) you would never know they were on the job all day. They made me feel reassured and like I was their only customer even though they told me they had emergencies throughout the day. I loved the idea of the technology of having a camera look through my pipes to make sure all is okay. Having just moved into this home we worried some pipes might be cracked or leaking and it turns out we were all clear. That technology provides such a level of comfort to the customers. The camera person called within minutes of Bob and Garett leaving and was at my house two days later. Thanks again Bob and Garett for making what could have been a nightmare seem like it was a nothing. You guys rock!!

I’d like to point out this review has nothing to do with the technician sent out. They were extremely professional and could not have been nicer. My only problem was the pricing.

I had a clogged storm drain in my driveway. I called to set up an appointment. The technician did not show up at the 4 hours window of time they gave me. instead I kept getting calls from their office that the technician is in the neighborhood and just finishing another job. 3 hours after the time, I got a call from a technician saying that he can come now, but that I should know they will be charging me a flat rate of $1,200 regardless of the actual work. I of course declined. I ended up call a different firm (John's Sewer) which provided a timely, professional service at 1/3 of the fee !!!I will never again consider calling Roto-Rooter.

Depression turned to elation when the Roto-Rooter crew arrived to take care of the plugged garbage disposal and kitchen drain. As they (John & Shan) worked, they explained what they were doing, why and very importantly what to do to delay its happening again. I like that. They told me the route the pipes took through the house and where problems might occur. The entire procedure was accomplished in a professional manner and a reasonable amount of time. They also took time to explain why I was unable to remove the drain in the bathroom sink for cleaning. No more Liquid Plumber purchases for me. I can clean it regularly with a turn of the wrist. They were knowledgeable, polite and efficient. I will not hesitate to call Roto-Rooter again, should I have a plumbing problem.

Had a clogged kitchen sink and needed a plumber on a Sunday. Roto rooter came up on google with 24/7 schedule and high rating so I thought I'd give them a try. The first problem was that they were more than 4 hours late from the 12-2pm window they gave us, arriving around 6:30pm. Second, the leader of the 2-man group (will not mention name but let's call him Ralph), quoted $350, saying he was giving us a discount from the regular $465 because we were his last job. When I said I thought rates were supposed to be in the $200 range, he remarked that I must be the one who handles the money in the house (odd thing to say), that those were mid-west rates, and that we couldn't find MA rates close to that. So we settled on $325, despite having a distinct feeling of being gouged. To top it all, my husband initially suggested to check the U-pipe of the sink itself before snaking, but Ralph insisted on snaking first, taking half an hour before giving up and then finding out the problem really was with the U-pipe (as my husband suggested), which took a few more minutes to suck out with a wet vac. The whole job took around an hour. Definitely not worth the $325! We found out later that a MA plumber on Angie's list said the going rate was $195. We are really annoyed but just chalking this down to experience, --we should have listened to our better instincts. At least the sink seems to be working now. But if you don't have a pressing need, go elsewhere!

Unreliable, rude, unprofessional and incompetent. Basem*nt flooded and needed urgent help. Called this company and booked an urgent visit for someone to attend in 2 hours. No one showed after 3 hours so I called to chase up. Only to be spoken to my Thomas (rude, unprofessional, condescending and unsympathetic).I explained that the drainage system is blocked/back-up and he immediately responded without even listening to me that it's not the company's problem and that I would have to call the city. He told he couldn't help me because I could not explain why the flood happened. Of course I wouldn't know which is why I'm asking for help. I asked him to clarify why an appointment was booked in the morning and he said that his colleague was ill-informed. I repeated that I needed urgent help and wanted to speak to a manager. He lied saying the manager was not at his desk.Just rude, unprofessional and disgraceful service.

People call it roto ripoff for a reason. They're as competent as any of the other drain companies in town but cost two or three times as much. They have opaque pricing and annoying sales tactics.

Gilbert was fantastic! He fixed our issue and explained everything he did AND what we needed to do to avoid it from happening again. We wouldn't hesitate requesting him, personally, again!!

Wait time was longer than expected, but otherwise service was excellent. Joe was very helpful, and offered insight about longer term issues with slight backflow / back pressure from the outside drain.

I am so grateful to Henry and his team at Roto-Rooter for their very thorough and swift job they completed at my home which required immediate attention for pipe damage. They explained the issue and showed me via camera the recent damage and what needed to be done to avert further trouble and expense. They are highly skilled and very professional and were able to resolve the needed patchwork the very same day! It was a great pleasure working with Henry and his team! Thank you!

Ron was friendly, professional and resolved the clog quickly. I had frequent updates on the status during the day which was helpful as well. It was a great overall service experience.

It was okay. We had to supply a shop vac and vacuum ourselves..not too sure why the techs do not have this on their truck, and perhaps 2 on a call such as this. He also tried to charge an additional hour. I'm glad that we read over the paperwork before signing. Other than all of that, We were happy with the results and such.

Our Service Technician was Stevie # 105.Stevie was pleasant, conscientious about doing a great job in clearing our kitchen sink drain and answered numerous questions that was posed to him.Stevie was professional, laughed and had a positive moral about his company.This is our second time using Roto-Rotor Service and would use their service again. The call center and dispatch service had excellent customer service skills as well.

Our master bathroom sink developed a clog on a Sunday. The customer service rep I spoke with offered a Monday morning appointment as the clog wasn't critical (no water flooding the bathroom plus we have an additional bathroom) with notification to occur on Monday morning. A prompt phone call was received at 7:30 AM stating that a service technician would arrive between 8:30 AM - 9 AM. Dominic #1436 arrived on time, was very professional, explained the process, gave an estimate, and proceeded to complete the work and clean up very professionally. We would highly recommend this service and Dominic.

I called Roto-Rooter in a pinch, on a Sunday, and they came to the rescue! To be specific, Joe came to the rescue! His service, knowledge, and overall professionalism was above and beyond what I expected. As a first time homeowner, with let's just say a lot of questions, Joe answered every single one with honesty. You can tell he really knows his stuff! Even though he couldn't fix the problem, (it's structural) he made recommendations for the next steps and got the ball rolling for us. He even helped ease my mind by going over my options and further explaining to me about the financing that's available. It really helps when expensive and unexpected issues arise. I will definitely be using Roto-Rooter in the future!

Roto-Rooter was the company that responded in person over the weekend when we were facing an emergency. We were able to work through a plan for taking action during that weekend call. Makes a big difference versus the stretch of silence until Monday morning. Our service was executed exactly as we were told it would unfold and our problem was solved during the first visit. The expertise of the plumber was impressive, too. Thank you, Roto-Rooter!

Although I have received fast and friendly service from my local Roto-Rooter technician on two occasions, both times I was forced to reschedule the service appointment three times. (Do you follow? It's confusing, I know.)It is hard to determine if this is a function of my region's location (Western MA) being understaffed, or simply poor communication between customer service representatives, but these two experiences have certainly soured me on Roto-Rooter. This is unfortunate, since the technician is always transparent and communicative, and the prices are fair, but having to miss days of work waiting around for someone who may or may not arrive is beyond frustrating.

Charles (#4936) was the best! We had an emergency with our toilet and he was here within the hour. Walked us through all the steps and even helped to take apart a shelf to install the toilet. Cleaned up the workspace and did an amazing job!

Had my sewer line relined. From the inspection to quote to the work, they were fast, efficient, courteous, and well worth every penny. Fixed a long occurring problem and allowed peace of mind that I won't be having any sewage issues for a long time to come. 10/10 would recommend to anyone in need of work done.

Let me start out by saying that I am never happy whenever I have to spend money on any type of service call as I own an old home, but I must say I was pleasantly surprised when the technicians showed up over an hour earlier than I had been promised. They were thorough, extremely courteous and upfront with me during all phases of their service call. I am used to being pressured or left to feel uncomfortable during most of my general business interactions, but this was far from the case with Roto-Rooter. I would not hesitate to utilize their services in the future. Thank you guys!
