Water in my kitchen sink started backing up. I tried the baking soda and vinegar trick. No good. Tried the plunger. Nope. Checked the P-trap under the sink. Yeah, no. I ran an auger down the drainpipe. Nothing. Time to call the professionals. Jorge came out on short notice and handled the issue quickly and professionally. He cleared the drain pipe with a Big-Boy auger and used a scope to inspect the area just to make sure. He was fast, courteous, and very easy to work with. I appreciate the prompt response and his professionalism. Jorge is a Superstar! The other positive reviews tell the story. If you need fast reliable plumbing help, contact J.J. Rooter & Plumbing. read more

I wish they had completed the job they started, fixed what they broke (our water main) and communicated with us. Did I mention they splashed mud on the front of our house and didn't bother to rinse or wipe it off? read more

A word to the wise ... ask what the minimum charge is before you commit. I did not do this, and didn't realize until after he showed up that JJ Rooter & Plumbing charge around $485 minimum. I had a simple toilet fill valve that needed to be replaced, and a simple sluggish drain in the kitchen. Once he was at the house, I was quoted almost $1000 for both. (!!!) Seriously? I could get a brand new toilet and have it installed for half that. Needless to say, I declined. I waited to have another very trustworthy plumber come out. Cost to fix both problems? $225! He was shocked when I told him the JJ $1000 quote. My plumber told me how cheap the parts are; he did the work quickly and efficiently; and everything is working great. I'm sure JJ Rooter & Plumbing do good work, and I know costs go up, but charging that much is outrageous. read more

I have been using Jorge and his family for YEARS. We have to eventually do a trenchless replacement of the line, but that would mean no more regular visits from these fine people! Seriously, though, i cannot recommend them highly enough. Very competitively priced; working around the clock, and always finding a way to fit me in when needed in an emergency. I won't use anyone else. read more

Definitely recommend these guys! Super professional, fair pricing, and they did a great job unclogging my drain. Def glad to have them in the community :)) read more

I called, the nice man asked me to send a photo of my water heater, and it turned out he got it relit OVER THE PHONE. As he joked I could send a $400 check in the mail, but he did it for completely free. These are the kind of people who make your community proud. Needless to say, highly recommended! read more

Called Jorge completely panicked after my bathroom water valve was spraying like a firehose. He immediately FaceTimed me to help me find the main water shut-off valve (I should know where this is, but I didn't). I went through so many numbers to no avail and he really went above and beyond to help me remedy the emergency immediately. I super appreciate kind people like this. I'll definitely be calling JJ Rooter when I need trustworthy, reliable service. read more

I reached out to make an appointment and Jorge responded immediately and came by my house within an hour. He fixed the leak on the spot. Great communication, friendly, efficient! read more

Our Water Main line broke in the front yard and another plumber that I reached out to first recommended JJ Rooter. I called and they stopped by my house same day even though it was nearly 6 pm. Gave me the best Value for the job in all 3 quotes and was the only plumber that said they would try to do the repair without breaking the concrete in our yard first. I appreciate their willingness to try and it succeeded. Job was completed in 1 day where others quoted 2. They will be my go-to plumber and recommendations to neighbors and friends from now on! Thank you read more

J J Rooter, and Jorge, are just great! They did a pretty tricky lateral pipe replacement for us. Very responsive, good price, and really a pleasure to deal with. We plan to use them soon to do some big-deal plumbing in the house. read more

Jorge is such a kind, fair and helpful person. I moved recently and one evening, sewage started coming up through my shower drain as I was washing a load of laundry. I called Jorge the next morning and he came by that morning to evaluate the problem. The sewer was old, cracked and clogged and the lines under the house needed replacement. Jorge gave me a fair estimate and made space for me in his schedule right away. His team worked from morning into the evening to get everything working again, including removing a section of concrete outside to connect to the working portion of the main line. The work was inspected, the permit signed off, and the concretely neatly replaced. All along, Jorge was responsive and kept me updated. This was a distressing situation and I so appreciate his help. Thank you, Jorge! read more

J&J were responsive, communicative and worked quickly! Our sink/disposal clogged and the guys were able to show up first thing in the morning and help resolve the issue. They were transparent about pricing and cleaned up after themselves before leaving. I highly reccomend and would use them again in the future! read more

Our downstairs toilet began overflowing and we had been trying all morning to unclog it. When that didn't work we started canvassing for Rooter/Plumbing companies and came across JJ Rooter/Plumbing. They responded immediately and had someone on site, with gloves and mask, within the hour to solve our issue. Jorge was very helpful not only in finding our issue (roots that had dislocated our pipes), but also providing us a video and giving us options for how to move forward. He also offered generous discounts to both the camera work and overall job with 10% off. Very professional, efficient and friendly individuals. I would definitely hire them again for future! read more

PROS: Jorge did a good job clearing a clogged storm drain in my driveway. He was also responsive with getting me a quote and scheduling a repair. He was very friendly and explained what he was doing every step of the way. CONS: When we talked on the phone, he said the estimate was $385 - $485, but the cost ended up being significantly higher at $685 (originally $785 but he said he'd knock off $100). He said this was because he had to hydrojet two ends of the drain so it counted as two events. I don't know how legit this reasoning is and my main complaint is he didn't mention this cost increase ahead of time. Had I known the cost was $685, I would have shopped around more for other options. Based on this experience, I would recommend reconfirming the price at the start of any job. read more

Jorge at J.J. Rooter is fantastic. He responded to my call immediately, and on the weekend. He saved me money with his savvy recommendations. And he was in and out of my kitchen in less than an hour. I now have a beautiful new faucet for my kitchen sink. read more

Review from 5:30 pm - I called on a Saturday morning at 9:30am for a clogged drain as the business is open Saturday 9-5. I was asked to text all my information to the same number that I had called and told that "a technician would call me back to arrange a same day afternoon visit". After waiting all day, I called again at 3pm and got voicemail. I left a message that I was still waiting to hear from someone. It is now 5:30pm and the business is closed. No call. I did call another company at 3pm and they agreed to come tomorrow morning, on a Sunday. I have no idea what the communication problem was, but a no show, no call is a bummer when I can't use my kitchen sink. Edited at 8pm, same day - I finally got a text at 5:37pm telling me that a technician was on the way. Then a phone call around 6pm telling me that they'd be there in 20-30 minutes. When I told the guy on the phone that I had no idea they were coming and no one called or answered their business line he said they just put me on the schedule. The guys showed up at about 6:30, and to their credit, they were great - fixed the problem and were super helpful and patient, especially considering that it was Saturday night and the job they were doing at my house must have been holding them up from going home and their own dinner. So 5 stars for the work, but only 1 or 2 for the office/business end and communication . read more

Jorge was communicative, fast, and super nice. He was able to squeeze me in before I left for a trip and was in and out in 11 minutes! He easily fixed a leak I had when I tried to install my bathroom faucet myself. Next time, I'll go to Jorge from the beginning and not go through the hassle myself haha. Thanks Jorge! read more

Six years after my first experience with Jorge and his team, I remain a big fan of their work for both indoor plumbing work and outdoor French drains, lateral repair and replacement, sump pumps, etc. And the best part, in addition to being very fairly priced, they left the site immaculate, were responsive, quick and focused. These guys are great for plumbing needs indoor and outdoor. read more

Removed our old and corroded kitchen in-sink waste disposal unit and at same time installed a new sink faucet (we had gotten the new faucet ourselves, but installation required Jorge to cut away a little bit of the Corian sink lip.) Great work, responsive,reliable. Cleaned up after finishing, recycling what could be recycled and took away the rest. We recommend JJ, and we'll be calling them for our future plumbing needs. read more

They were very responsive and came out the same day. And this was right before Thanksgiving, when it can be tough to get help.

J J Rooter helped me with a real nightmare: a broken water heater flooding the downstairs on Memorial Day, when nobody is open. They had emergency service, and Jorge recognizing time was of the essence helpfully came out before a scheduled nearby call to quickly help me prevent further damage to the house, got us fixed, and still got to his next appointment on time. Great service. read more

Extremely expensive repair to unclog a shower drain that was draining slowly. Probably less than an hour for $385.
