Gerardo was the only plumber we called during an emergency situation who was able to come quickly on a Sunday at 5 pm and did not want to charge us an astronomical amount. He was very kind and also made us feel like we were his friends who needed help, not just a customer. I have saved his number because of his service and his attitude. It's not every day that you find a plumber who you trust. read more

We experienced abnormally high water pressure yesterday and deduced it to the pressure release valve being faulty, but didn't really know what to do. We called around for plumbers who could possibly fix the issue, but when we texted Dr. Rooter, he responded promptly and actually gave step-by-step instructions on how to fix it without needing to show up and do it for us! We appreciated his honesty and super easy instructions - he even saved us a lot of money without having to show up. This is definitely a plumber you should reach out and talk to if you have basic handyman skills, but in case I do have future issues that are more severe and require help, I will definitely reach out again to him!!! Thank you so much!! read more

We noticed a leak under out kitchen sink when turning on the faucet. Jerry contacted us right away and offered a free estimate and was quick to come help. He brought his pro Jesus out and they quickly diagnosed the problem, a broken faulty faucet. They also showed me how mold had formed underneath on the wood, so they replaced that at a fair price. They worked very quickly and were very pleasant and they cleaned up after. The price was very competitive as well, they gave a great deal for such short notice on a Sunday. I highly recommend Jerry, Jesus and Dr Rooter! read more

I selected Dr. Rooter following a competitive bid for replacement of two bathroom faucets. Jerry was very kind and knowledgeable. He and Rudy were on time, friendly and professional.

Nevertheless, Pricing was still in competitive range. I would recommend them and will use them in future, when needed. read more

I'll definitely call them again in the future. read more

I highly recommend this business for anyone who is looking for honesty and professionalism! Not only that they come here on a Saturday morning, probably for a simple unblock of a toilet. He did not require two hours of minimum payment. He did not try to give a $400 estimate over the phone. He waited till he came here and said if it was easy, he would charge accordingly. And he did that I would highly recommend, anyone who's looking for an honest plumber to use this company. read more

Responded quickly. Replaced my water heater the same day, did a great job, reasonably priced. Cleaned up before leaving.

Finding a plumber who will service my rural area has been a challenge. I contacted 6 different plumbers through Yelp for a straightforward toilet replacement. 4 responded that they didn't service my area. 1 never responded at all. The 6th was Gerardo from Dr. Rooter & Plumbing. He responded in a timely manner and we set up an appointment. He was professional and courteous by letting me know he was running about 15 minutes behind. He quoted me a reasonable estimate for the work and finished the job efficiently. Muchas gracias, Jerry! read more

Had a slow drain in my shower. Called Dr. Rooter and they came out the same day. Very affordable. I called a few other plumbers beforehand and the other guys we're charging two to three times more. Not Dr. Rooter. Upon arriving. The guys were friendly and professional. I even met the owner Jerry. One of the coolest guys you can ever meet. He made sure everything was done and done right. Found out later that my grandson stuffed a shower sponge deep into the shower pipe. The plumbers were able to retrieve the sponge without any damage. Overall great service. Showed up same day and were out as soon as the job was completed. Very affordable. Dr. Rooter doesn't price gouge like some other plumbers. Dependable, affordable, friendly and knowledgeable. Qualities you want in your plumber. Support local businesses especially the good ones. Dr. Rooter is awesome. Use them for all your plumbing needs. read more

Our water heater wasn't working. So we decided to replace it with a tankless water heater with a 25 year warranty . The owner gave us a quote. His team showed up at our house and quickly remove the old one. He called the store to deliver the tankless water heater on the same day. His team took about 3 hours to complete. I'm very happy with Dr Rooter & Plumbing. Thank you. read more

I reached out to get my water heater serviced as it had been a few years since it was flushed and I couldn't get it done myself. Dr. Rooter sent out Michael and he was superb. I explained all steps I had tried and he respectfully listened and showed me an alternate method. He was very detailed in his explanations and let me follow along to learn. Aside from the job, he was great company and enjoyed sharing his passion for his craft. The value was absolutely fair and reasonable. I will definitely reach out and request Michael again "The heart of plumbing" read more

He and his team are pros. Will definitely call them for my next plumbing need. read more

Dr Rooter responded quickly and came out the same day. My washer was backing up into the sink and they took care of the issue for a reasonable price. read more

If you're like me, and you called every plumber in San Diego- STOP RIGHT HERE! Jerry took me in last minute and exceeded all of my expectations. I needed my sink replaced and wanted to do it myself. The bottom of my sink was a nightmare. Everything was corroded and painted over. All other plumbing companies charged a minimum of $125/HOUR and couldn't provide services until the end of the week. Jerry offered a very reasonable price and same-day service! He sent his partner, Ricardo, that came to my rescue and did more than was expected of him. They wore masks and was were super neat. They even insisted on cleaning up everything after! Honest people are hard to come by nowadays. These guys didn't let down. Great character. Great company. read more

I called Dr. Rooter and Plumbing on an emergency call. I got home from work and noticed a gas smell and water pooling near my old water heater. I knew it was gonna go sooner rather than later and sooner was tonight. I tried a few other businesses but they were booked or oddly you needed some sort of membership to have an emergency plumber come out (sounds expensive). I called Jerry, the owner of this company and he sent out Johnny to respond first. Johnny diagnosed the issue as a broken water heater. Considering this was a last minute call, Jerry called me and met me at a local Home Depot to purchase parts and a new water heater, while getting the info of parts he needed from Johnny. I came out and paid for the parts and heater and Jerry hauled it back to my house. In a matter of 3 hours Johnny got the old water heater out and the new water heater was on. Overall the price was better than fair. Jerry oversaw the project and both men were super professional. I didn't like the fact I had to pay for an unexpected plumbing issue but Dr. Rooter did an exceptional job and I'd definitely use them again. read more

I am pleased to provide a 5 star review for this crew. They were on time, professional, reasonably priced and thorough in their work.

Dr Rooter was quick to respond and to perform service. I had some pressure issues with my plumbing. They resolved the issues at a very competitive price. I was also impressed with the quality of the work. The PRV is visible outside. The plumber did a very clean install with beautiful soldered joints. read more

They responded to my service request within Yelp quickly with a competitive quote, but then they ghosted us on the morning they were scheduled to arrive. 2 hours after the scheduled time and I've had no contact from them. I tried texting and calling without success. It's the worst feeling and very disruptive (I stayed home this morning waiting for them) to be disregarded like this. read more

So thankful for Edgar & Jerry. We had an emergency with our shower knob (my mom broke the knob so the shower was running and had to get turned off from the main line.) Called several plumbers but was told they'll be available on Monday or a few hours BUT Not Dr. Rooter & Plumbing. Edgar came in 15 mins and worked on out shower. Very professional, friendly and most of all given us a priority since our case was an emergency. Very thankful for these people! Highly Recommend! read more

Dr. Rooter was great! Very professional, fast and responsive. We had a slab leak in our bathroom, the hot water pipe sprung a leak. They accessed the problem, gave us a flat rate quote and started that same day rerouting the pipe. They were great I would use them again. read more

Sent a request on a Saturday and they were here the next day! Fixed a leaking toilet. Quick and easy.

I've had a plumbing issue in my sewer line leading from my guest bathroom for the past few years. I always band aided the problem but finally decided to call a professional. I reached out to Dr Rooter due to the high rated reviews... those reviews were right! The owner Jerry called me right away and subsequently visited my home. His team assessed the issue and offered different solutions with different pricing. Once a solution was decided, John came out and serviced the plumbing issue. They did excellent work and were cost effective. I was highly satisfied with team Dr Rooter and recommend them to anyone. read more

I cant say enough about Dave. He arrived within a day of our call (it was not an emergency) and identified our problem and helped us get it repaired. Dave is a consummate professional, he's on my on call list from now on! I highly recommend him. read more

I needed two sinks installed for my business so I contacted Jerry/Gerardo to do the job since he(his employees) had already worked at my home once before. He installed two sinks with very low water pressure and no hot water. They did a very intricate plumbing job that didn't do the job intended. As a professional plumber I expected him to tell me prior the installation of the two sinks that the flow of water was going to be very low but he didn't. The also installed a line for hot water without checking first to see if I had hot water which I didn't but he did the plumbing anyways so that he could change more. During the whole job he keep saying that the job he was doing for me was $1,800 which was double the amount he quoted me. At the end of the job I ended up paying $950 via Zelle to his personal account because he didn't wanted me to pay via check for tax reasons(I will still be claiming this as an expense for my business). I was very disappointed with his work, luck of honest and expertise. I had to hire someone else to correct the job he did. read more
