    Our main sewer line backed up so we called Roto Rooter. They responded late at night and resolved the issue. The technician was friendly and seemed knowledgeable. Very grateful for this service, particularly on the eve of a major winter storm. The price of $415 to open the drain line was fair. I would have gladly paid more for the technician to have a helper. The helper might have helped him carry in the equipment so they could park on the street, rather than in my driveway resulting in their van trenching up my neighbors yard just beyond my drive. The helper might have helped him carry the sewer machine through my yard, rather than laying deep trenches in the wet dirt that used to be my grass. With a helper assisting, maybe the technician would not have rolled a muddy mess into my basement, leaving mud clods across the floor. Maybe I would not have had to spend an hour from 1-2 AM cleaning up mud and dirt in my basement. Mud not from the drain, but off the wheels of the sewer machine, tracked in by Roto Rooter's technician. A helper might have helped to make this overall experience positive and for that I would have gladly paid more. Instead I am left between relieved that the sewer issue is resolved and utterly disgusted by the mess Roto Rooter left behind. Next time I will call someone else. Hopefully a company I can pay more for better customer service. 2/13/2022 update. The technician broke the sewer lid cap and covered the port with a temporary piece of rubber and a metal strap. He said he would come back with a new cap but never did. Ten days later, I discovered wet carpet in the basement bedroom in the other side of the wall by the sewer main. I had the great pleasure of cutting out padding, treating the carpet back, buying and installing a sewer lid cap, and drying the impacted area. Thanks a bunch Roto Rooter for making a bad customer service experience even worse than I realized.

    First hole that the tech did himself

    Had them out to remove a water softener and some basic pipe alterations. They did a great job! Highly recommend.

The owner came to my home examined the job, told me what was wrong and explained the process. He told me what materials he would be using and a timeline to complete the project. His quote was not the cheapest and far from the most expensive. On the work day he showed up on time. Mapped out the project and started. Since his crew is experienced they quickly dug the trench and replaced the line in a matter of hours, (not days that some others estimated). Tj who is a very experienced plumber did all of the connections himself and double checked everything. Then they poured a bed of sand around the line to protect it from rocks and stones. Next they carefully filled it in about 6 inches at a time compacting it so the ground wouldn't sink later. Here's why I chose TJ's Plumbing ... 1. Reasonable FLAT RATE price 2. Proper materials used. 3. Experienced plumbers did the work 4. Owner oversaw the entire project 5. Work done in a timely manner 6. Professional workmanship 7. Cleanup done after completed.

Customer service was absolutely fantastic and Tyler W. was accommodating and gave us clear explanations as to what was wrong. We received a text message with a picture of the employees so we knew who to expect and what they looked like. Arlinghaus has to send another worker out to discuss prices on a new furnace. Tyler was able to get our furnace working temporarily as we look into buying a new furnace. It cost $89 for him to come out and diagnose the problem. They will remove this from any extra work they may need to do. Unfortunately, in the end we could not afford even the lowest option they had for a furnace. They use a top furnace line brand and are more expensive then the national average. This was the only draw back for me that it was to expensive and I did not want to enter into a loan for a $7,000 furnace when the average homeowners pay is $3100. Regardless, they were transparent and did not pressure me into anything we didn't want to do. I highly recommend Arlinghaus for their professionalism and honesty with their customers.

My system was running well and did not need any service, when the Technician left, my system was not operating the same as when he started, My Central Air was not cooling my house and the system blower sounded different. I have lived in my house long enough to know how it sounds and feels, The person who worked on my system created the problem in order to create a service call and an unnecessary bill for a problem that he inserted. This is not the way to maintain customers or good reviews. If your service is not broken, the service person should not be out generating revenue. I was very concerned when he was measuring the amount of Freon as I heard a loud hiss as the vapors were being released. BTW, the same service person bypassed a safety cut-off device in my furnace last winter and, I had to buy the electrical device and reinstall it for the safety of my home. I am very dissatisfied with their procedures.
