Not sure why I'd never written Bob a review, I've known the man 20+ years and he's the ONLY person I can recommend for drain cleaning services. Trustworthy, attentive, great communication, does clean, quick work. We've used him exclusively for drain cleaning for our apartments for as long as I can remember. read more

THIS is not BOb!!! He would charge me 100 bucks for a clogged drain. These guys came out and charged 600 dollars! They are a total rip off. They obviously didn't get Bobs morals read more

I called Bob in the afternoon and he was able to come to our house the next morning and get our drain unplugged after we couldn't get done with a hand snake. Bob's service was quick and the price was good. I'd recommend Bob if you have a clog! read more

I am sad to write this review seeing as how everyone else has rated Bob and his service as 5 stars, but our experience was extremely weird and terrible. As for his actual service- I cannot comment because we received none. After dealing with a terrible landlord here in SD over a non-draining disgusting tub for over a week- Bob finally was called to our apartment to help with the issue. He arrived on time and was quiet- but took a look at the tub and checked the water in the sink. He then asked to go out back to look at the plumbing to which I responded that I didn't have a key to the locked gate. I tried to reach out to my landlord (who had quit responding to me the day prior after going back and forth over an issue that was not being addressed) who didn't answer my texts. Bob says he will try to contact her from his end and leaves "to go to his truck" and never returns! . I reach out to my landlord to ask if there's an update and her emailed response to me is that he left "due to the unpleasantness of the tenants". At this point- I'm honestly speechless because our contact was all but less than 5 minutes and not one unpleasant interaction happened. I called him myself to find out what was happening. He was shocked by my call and questioning but I felt I needed an explanation- as I have never been called "unpleasant" and no part of our interaction warranted that accusation. He claimed that he told the landlord something "in confidence" and she "blabbed it" back to me. When I asked him how we were unpleasant or made him uncomfortable- he changed his story and said that the issue was the landlord, the lack of parking here, and the unresponsiveness on her end. He definitely was playing both sides and lying. I'm not sure why-- maybe to get out of a job that he felt was inconveniencing him- but what he ended up doing was causing an even more strained landlord and tenant relationship by giving my landlord what she would consider the "upper hand" during an already stressful and difficult experience that has lawyers involved. I cannot recommend this service because there was none given, and due to the nature of the entire encounter- I would advise anyone to steer clear of this business in hopes of avoiding any potential conflict. read more

We are a repeat customer for all the right reasons. Our old house with cast iron pipes has periodic drain issues. Bob came to the rescue once again on short notice. Great service at a reasonable price. Thanks again! read more

I've used Bob for a few years now for many tasks at our small apartment complex in Kensington and I can't believe I've EVER used anyone else...ever! Not only is he prompt, communicative, knowledgable, professional, and super effective at nearly everything he touches, he's always always always cost-effective. He has even solved issues that have stumped others. If there were six stars, I'd give him seven. Try him once and you'll never use another service. It's that simple...and he seems like such a fine and trustworthy gentleman to boot! read more

Bob is so professional, efficient and pleasant to have around. He waisted no time to climb on the roof and get the plumbing running smoothly in almost no time. 100% recommend him! read more

We had a blocked sewer pipe at 3:30PM on Friday afternoon. Bob was here within the hour despite the time and local traffic, repaired the situation completely within 45 minutes while taking the time to answer all of my questions. He was highly professional, highly knowledgeable, and highly efficient. He provides this service at a very reasonable price. We had a similar situation in the past and unfortunately used another vendor, so we have a basis for comparison. Bob truly exceeded our expectations. Highly recommend and will definitely use him again. read more

Bib is great and responds quickly. He's honest in his work and what needs to be done. He's my go to for all drain problems!

Bob showed up on time wearing a mask. Very professional job, done quickly for the reasonable amount quoted over the phone.

Been using Bob for many years. He is a one man show and he is efficient and easy to reach (by text is best). He is cheapest around but also good at what he does. For standard sink and toilet clogs, he is 100% the best. If it needs the big van mounted machines, you may need to call elsewhere, but he will let you know if it's something he can't handle. read more

I called on a Saturday afternoon for a bathroom sink back up. He made an appointment for Sunday morning with no extra charge like all the other places charge. In addition, his prices were reasonable. We made a follow up appointment in 6 months. read more

Kitchen sink was backed up. Called late on Sunday and Bob arrived on time, is super nice, and fixed the clog! With a 70 year old house, it's always a relief to have someone who cares. I asked if I should have him snake the other drains, and he said if we weren't having any problems to save my money. Highly recommend! read more

Bob is the man! I live on the second floor of lets say a "vintage" apartment building. The plumbing is not the best. After several attempts to clear the line, Bob came to my rescue. I had a tough time with this originally. I had to coordinate with my neighbor to get into their apartment to make sure my clog wouldn't effect their unit. Honestly its a huge inconvenience, I get it. When I told a friend of my problems, they referred me to Bob at Cobra Rooter. Bob was the only person I called that not only gave me the best ever weekend price I have ever heard but also had the equipment needed to clear the line from my apartment only. I had called several plumbers, who can do the job but for drains use the drain specialist. Plumbers do pipes, drain specialist do drains. Bob was fast and super friendly and CLEAN! I can't stress enough the word CLEAN. Honestly the pipes are working better then they have the entire time I have lived here. read more

Woke up to a clogged kitchen drain. My spouse gave it the old college try for about an hour and a half with zero luck. So, Yelp it is. Found the ratings and reviews to my liking, made a call, left a message and got a call back lickety split. (I hope I spelled 'lickety' correctly. It seems spell check is younger than me. ) Anyhoo, Bob showed up not long after and took care of the problem quick as can be. Then I was bummed because I realized that I still had to do the dishes. Oh well. Quick response, friendly service and reasonable rates. Couldn't ask for anything more. read more

We love having him - highly recommend! read more

So...when your husband gets excited about using his juicer and accidentally puts too much pulp down the kitchen sink and gets it clogged and after attempts at fixing it yourself to no avail..what to do?!! Luckily, we were referred to Cobra Rooter and we are so glad we were! Bob, the owner, made an appointment for a visit quickly and remedied the issue at a very reasonable price. Not only did Bob take his time to make sure the issue was fixed and all was working properly before he left, he also took the time to give us pointers on how not for this issue to happen again. You can tell Bob takes pride in his company and goes above and beyond to make sure his clients are happy and back up and running quickly! Thank you Bob!! Highly recommend Bob and his company for your plumbing needs!!! read more

Bob was professional, friendly, quick to respond and easy to schedule an appt with. He came prepared, worked his magic quickly, and cleaned up after. I don't have anything to compare his fees to, but feel they're very reasonable. I had avoided getting a rock hard blockage in a guest bathroom fixed for SEVERAL YEARS (insert embarrassment) because a) I assumed it'd be hundreds of dollars and b) it was a bath tub that doesn't get used. Bob said he liked a challenge and rose to the occasion! In less than 45 min, the tub was draining beautifully. I should have called Cobra ages ago and will definitely use Bob for any future rooting. read more
