Dan restored my faith in humanity!!! There are actually good people out there! I called Dan at 10am for a backed up pipe.... Water was literally flooding my downstairs shower. Drano and liquid plumber did not work so I called Dan. He met me at my house 2 hours after my call.... It was great. He found the block, which was dried up fecal matter....He snaked all the way to my septic and back. He also checked my septic filter and showed me how to clean it! I've never met Dan before this, but he called me by my first name throughout the whole ordeal, and was super professional. I can't say enough good things about him, and strongly recommend him over any chain places. Dans been doing this for 25 years!!!! He's got this down to a science. Call him! read more

Never felt so mistreated or talked down to ever. We called him for follow-up as he had come out before. He spent a lot of time working the issue, and when it came back a few weeks later, he blamed us for still having a clogged kitchen sink! Sure when we called for a follow-up, it was during a holiday week and sure he was out of town. And yes, he said, he had lots of experience. So, we called one of the larger companies who correctly diagnosed the issue, the same day, and haven't had a problem now in 1 1/2 years! I've dealt with many different people and professionals in my lifetime. Those who are really good never blame others or sit back on their "years of experience", rather they go, "hmmm. you've got me stumped. never seen that before. let me see what I'm missing." What he could have used was a good dose of humility rather than arrogance. read more

I called Dan on a Monday afternoon regarding a clogged shower drain at my mom's house. Since it was not an emergency, an appointment was made for Wednesday morning. Dan was there precisely on-time. He was very courteous and immediately got to work on the clog. Dan was very personable, friendly AND professional. I could tell he appreciated my business. I highly recommend Dan's Discount Rooters should you have this problem or one similar. It was a wonderful experience. Dan left the area immaculate and he even cleaned the shower before he left... and his service charge was very fair. Thank you, Dan! read more

Dan came to the house to remove a clogged pipe leading from the sink in the kitchen. Spent 40 45 minutes here. Clog was gone and we were happy with the service. Dan was very pleasant and price was very reasonable. read more

Highly recommend Dan! Very professional, knowledgeable, courteous and very reasonably priced. Took care of my clogged kitchen line with no problems. He was responsive and prompt- will absolutely call him again if need be. Thanks Dan! read more

You know when you have a sewer back up your having a bad day and this was the case for me. After finding this huge mess and getting most of it cleaned up I still had a big problem. Just by chance someone recommended Dan and that's when my luck started to change. From the initial call Dan was great and just happened to be in my area so he was at my house about an hour later. Dan is a true professional and after figuring out the problem he got to work and had it fixed, put back together and cleaned up. In a situation like this I had no idea about cost but when discussing payment I couldn't believe how fair and reasonably priced Dan was. Thanks Dan!! I highly recommend Dan's discount Rooter!! read more

Recently had an issue where my wife dumped a 'side of beef' down the garbage disposal, which had no problem chewing it up and spitting it down the drain, but that's where the issue started. It ended up clogging the drain pipe about 8' down. I know it was 8' because I went to Home Depot on Saturday to buy a pipe snake, and then proceeded to spend about 4 hours trying to snake the drain myself. When that wasn't successful, I ended up calling Dan on Sunday morning - costing myself another little chunk of money. Dan was extremely courteous, prompt and had no problem cleaning out the drain. Dan was so nice in fact, my 3 year old was trying to give him a 'tip' by trying to give him a Matchbox Monster Truck, his favorite car. If you're in the local area, and you need a sewer or drain cleaned, I would highly recommend Dan! His price is very reasonable, and I just wish I had called him on Saturday instead of spending half my night trying to clean it out myself. read more

Needless to say, I had a very shitty situation. We had recently moved into our new home, and apparently the previous owner had left the cap off of the main sewer line as a sort of passive floor-drain for the frequent flooding we experience here in New England basements. Thanks to the creative piping of yesteryear, a massive clog occurred in our sewage line and flooded the basement with a fetid stew of waste and awfulness. I called a friend, and Dan was suggested as my go-to guy. Within the hour and without hesitation, he got down there, ankle-deep in nastiness and cleared the clog. The price for the job was easily a discount, and I probably would've paid more for the convenience. So I had a great experience, but he only unclogs the line! I spent the rest of the day like some sort of wretched morlock, toiling in the filth of the surface dwellers as I attempted to rake the hazardous slop to it's awaiting destination in the newly-cleared floor-level sewer line... it was like air-hockey from hell, but wet and stinky. The moral of the story: don't hesitate to call Dan's Discount Rooter. read more

Dan has done work for me in the past and I can sing his praises!!!!! He was prompt, professional and well versed in explaining what needed to be done. And he is very reasonable and soooooo nice!!! read more

Dan came out on a Saturday morning to fix our issue with a clog in the line and roots at the end. Courteous and affordable. Polite and knowledgeable. Would give 6 stars if I could. read more

Dan is a great guy that gets the job done fast and efficiently. He does quality work at prices that cannot be beaten by any other plumber or rooter service in the State! I had a clogged bathroom sink that would drain very slow and poorly, knowing I needed the trap cleared out and mind you it was an old school steel piping system he suggested the pipe would leak in the very near future and to skip snaking and update to PVC for headache free problems in the future, myself being a blue collard tradesman also understood the logic and sence ability. I had a newly purchased faucet for the same sink to be installed by myself but while he was here he kindly did it for me! Give him a call and his specialty is primarily clogged or slow drainage issues on any outgoing pipes in your home and he takes emergency calls after hours and weekends. Dan is the man! You will not regret his services or prices! I will proudly refer all friends and family members to Dans Discount Rooter from here on out! read more

We had a clogged toilet that, to no avail, no amount of toilet plunging could fix. I got Dan's name through another source and within the hour (9:00pm), he came out on short notice and had it fixed in the blink of an eye and the price was unbeatable compared to the headaches he saved our family. Thanks again Dan and your name is definitely on my fridge for the next time myself or anyone needs to have some pipes cleared! read more

Fast, friendly, and best price I found. Got the job done quick and professionally. Would highly recommend. Had tree roots dug out of sewer pipe. Thanks Dan! read more

I was referred to Dan's Discount Rooter from another source. We had an outside drain pipe that was overflowing whenever it rained. He came out w/ his equipment and found that the pipe was not clogged like we were hoping! but rather collapsed...in 2 spots. He was able to refer us w/o any hesitancy to a local exacavator who does this type of collapsed pipe repair. Dan's charged a fair price and we're very pleased w/ the diagnosis and service. read more

After buying a 30' rooter snake at Lowe's and thinking I had cleaned out the main sewer line from my house to the street,4 days later,blocked again. Another 3 hr. session and pulling out more baby wipes and bandaging that my wife uses for her medical issues I didn't feel confident that I was totally good to go and winter is here. I called my plumber, George Day of Day Plumbing & Heating in Torrington, best in the business in my opinion. He told me that he didn't have the equipment to do the job and referred me to Dan. He called Dan for me and shortly after Dan contacted me and we set up a time. He showed up as promised and I was right, even though my sewer was working there was more blockage.He worked at it for a 1/2 hr or so making sure he got all the way to the main sewer line about 50' from my house pulling out more wipes and bandaging. The best part was that the cost was less than 1/2 of what others would've charged me. He didn't rush the job making sure it was thoroughly clean. He is not only good at what he does and less expensive than others, he is a real professional in all ways. I guaranty that you will not find a better deal and you will know the job was done right. Dan is the man for the job. Thanks Dan read more
