Mason was great! Needed a plumber and he was here in less than two hours. Was honest, professional and courteous. Fixed our plumbing problem in less than an hour. Definitely will be using them again for any future plumbing issues. read more

I thought Roto Rootter was a company I could trust BIG MISTAKAE. incorrect assessment of the situation and they ran a drain pipe onto my neighbors land, left the job site in a absolute mess then played games on the phone saying they would call us back or send someone over to fix the landscapin. we're still waiting read more

Quoted $1200 labor to replace a 29 gallon water tank/cost of tank and materials additional. When I asked what the labor rate was based on (estimate of hours?), I was told that was the rate whether the job took 1/2 hour or the whole day. I was also told if I called and asked for a quote from another Roto Rooter plumber the rate would be higher. The job was completed by another plumbing company in 2 hours so Roto Rooter was looking to charge $600 per hour. I recommend to save your time and not call this company for estimates or service read more

Our garbage disposal stopped working so I made an appointment and they came out the next day. The two gentlemen were polite and within the window they said they would arrive. When I showed them the disposal, they flipped the switch and it didn't work - like I said it wouldn't. They then said it would cost $500 to take it apart to find the jam and if it was broken it'd be $1000+ to replace. I told them $500 was a lot and I'd take a look at it myself. The immediately said "Well what about $350" which honestly made me angry because it was telling I was being ripped off. I said no thank you and they left. I looked at the side of the garbage disposal and punch the model number into google. A video on InSinkerators website popped up. It was a 1 minute and 20 second video that showed how to unjam the disposal. All you do is take a size 6mm Allen key and turn it three times in each direction and click the red button at the bottom. BOOM. Disposals working as good as new. The whole process took less than 3 minutes for someone who has 0 plumbing experience. These plumbers had to have known of this very very simple and standard fix. I cannot stand businesses that are intentionally dishonest, deceitful and steal from people who don't know any better. Please do not ever call this company if you wish to have fair and honest business. Roto-Rooter you should be ashamed. I know that if I had let these gentlemen go forward I would've been billed $1000+ for something that would've taken 5 minutes. Disgusting, deceitful, dishonest and lazy. read more

Mason Cruz with Roto-Rooter was very knowledgeable and explained everything he was doing. Very personable - highly recommend! A+

We recently had a major plumbing issue crop up (a blocked pipe between the house and city sewer) late on a Saturday. We called Roto-Rooter, and they had a technician come out within the hour and he cleared the pipe as far as he could; the next day, Curt (excellent, pleasant, professional, and efficient) from RR came out with a camera and ran it through the pipe until it could go no further (hence the problem). It became obvious there was a major blockage that would have to be dealt with. Curt stayed on this issue until it was fixed, always communicating the status with us. Due to location of the blockage, and the presence of numerous pipes and conduits buried in the direct path of the repair (which ruled out a back-hoe )they were forced to call in Wolverine who vaccuumed and flushed the pipe with water; problem solved. Even though there was much digging and movement of dirt, removal of a sidewalk slab, and filling in a large hole with slurry, after the job was done, you'd never know they were there. We could not be happier with the service they provided, quickly restoring the ability to flush the toilets, run water in the sinks, etc. The bill naturally increased with the additiion of another company, and thus more labor, but every bit if it was explained, and approved by us. Inexpensive it wasn't, but there was an enormous amount of work to be done. Curt and Roto-Rooter did exactly what was needed, and did it well. read more

My water heater was not working, and I lined up Roto-Rooter to come out and hopefully repair it. The technician showed up a little late, no big deal, and I explained the issue, it wasn't heating the water. He did not troubleshoot; he wanted to replace the tank. I told him, it's not even two years old. He said this way you get a new tank since it's under warranty. Only the tank was under warranty so I would be on the hook for the labor. He wanted $1,400 for the install but I only paid $1,500 for the tank and the install less than two years ago. I kept asking questions about just checking to see if everything is working properly and finally, I asked about the power since both thermostats were not working. He said it should be on a breaker, so I said let's go check it out and sure enough, the breaker had flipped and when I reset it the problem was solved. I will say that I probably should have checked that prior to calling and that's on me but my issue is that as a technician that would probably be the first thing you check rather than going straight for the kill with a new tank. read more

Had a horrible experience with this company when we had a kitchen drain pipe leak behind the wall. Roto-Rooter initially quoted us $1500-$3500 for the water restoration and assured us the insurance would cover but it ended up not being covered and them charging us nearly $6000. This did not include the actual fix to the drain pipe at a grand and and another grand for hydro jetting the sewer line. They also charge use us $600 to redo the water lines for the sink in preparation for the kitchen rebuild but twice did it incorrectly. The contractors for the rebuild just had to redo it themselves because Roto-Rooter could not do it right. We had been regular customers of this company for many years because they had typically did a good job for us but this last experience was so terrible. They have lost a customer with us. read more

$738 snake probe, Roto rooter will not provide the video (they will for a price) to see what they suggest...what a scam. Want us to pay an additional $7600 and $1200.00 to get our pipes jetted and replace a broken pipe but refuses to provide the customer with the video after paying $738.00 to snake and video the line? read more

I was charged $468.00 to unclog a toilet. It took the technician less than 20 minutes to complete the job. Douglas was friendly however I will not be using this company for any future repairs. Taking advantage of customers is not the way to do business. read more

I called Roto Rooter to snake my bathroom sink. I have a regular plumber but thought this would be quicker. Unfortunately, the Roto Rooter tech who came out said he didn't need to snake the sink but told me he needed to replace pipe, dig into the wall and the estimate for services was $1,500. I called my regular plumber and he completed the service for $125.00. BEWARE when calling these guys. Not sure what their tech training includes but it doesn't seem like they know about plumbing issues...AT ALL!!! read more

Roto-Rooter Plumbing & Water Cleanup - Sink issue - Plumbing Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

The WORST company!!! I spent my entire weekend waiting for them to come and they were 4 to 6 hours late every day. Then, the technician finally shows up and quotes me DOUBLE the amount for every other company. $2500 for a 40 gallon hot water heater that is in a first floor garage. Save your time, money and weekend and go with someone that will actually show up. read more

So they came out gave me a price of about 640 to unclog my drains Worked on them for almost five hours over two days They were unable to unclog the toilets bath tub shower etc because they said no clean out Refused to go on roof because of liability they proceed to give me a bid of 10,500 dollars to dig up my driveway and put in a clean out and maybe repair collapsed pipes I said no thanks and called another plumber who went on roof with his snake and cleaned out stoppage at a cost of 560 dollars I think they should refund my money. Never use them read more

I am sitting here - waiting - 4.5 hours after my scheduled appointment window of 8-10am today. I have called multiple times and repeatedly been told I was "next in line" and that the dispatch still hadn't heard from their plumbers. I finally called and, after letting the dispatch know this was unacceptable and that they've now commandeered my whole day - someone will be there within 45min-1hour. Amazing ... now they know where someone is?! Had a fantastic experience a few years ago - never again. What a complete disregard for your customer. read more

I posted a review several weeks ago showing what Roto-Rooter did in 2018 .they left a large hole underneath my kitchen sink and I shared photos of it. I was contacted about my review and was asked by my original contact if I would be willing to let them come back out and look at my house. Two gentlemen did come to my house and they were going to talk to the insurance company once again .I am concerned that since it's been many days since they came that the insurance company is not going to reimburse me for the job that was done in 2018 although it's cost me more than an additional $7,000 for the plumbing to be fixed by another company. I have been made aware that another company did buy Roto-Rooter and they did have insurance to cover situations like mine. I hope that the company will be honorable and will reimburse me read more

If I could give negative stars, I would STAY AWAY FROM THESE PEOPLE AT ALL COSTS and go to an honest handyman type company for simple jobs- not only was I quoted 417$ within 2 minutes of a clogged kitchen drain. Then man showed up an hour late out of estimated arrival time! And when he got here he was looking very unsanitary no gloves and booties or other sanitation methods as explained on their website! I kept calling and the receptionist kept lying saying the plumber is 5 minutes away, 2 minutes away etc and also then he stopped to get gas.... The only one blowing any gas was HER and her crazy, dumb excuses. Not reliable, not honest company, not affordable ......I fixed my own drain for the cost of a 20$ plumbing wrench read more

Roto Rooter sent help promptly - within one hour of my phone call. Emil responded to my call for help. He was on time, very kind, professional, and knowledgeable. The problem I had was taken care of quickly, with no additional expenses suggested. This is the second time I have used Roto Rooter in two different cities in Arizona. I would not hesitate to call them again. Thank you Emil and Roto Rooter. read more

I have used roto rooter three times now (sink, toilet, mainline drain issue). All three times they have been quick, inexpensive (in one case did not even charge me even though two plumbers spent over an hour on my leaking sink) and professional. The prices have always been clear and up front. I have used much more expensive plumbers in the past and will not do so again. Great group. Highly recommend. read more

Prompt service! Eric was super fast and professional! Would use again! If you want fast and food service, give them a call!

Bill and Joshua came out to clear my clogged sewer drain. They ended up breaking their cable inside my sewer line from the house to the street. They attempted to remove it, couldn't, then cut the cable to their machine then left me and my home with the cable stuffed inside the sewer line. We have no bathrooms or toilets working and their answer was an estimate for $7,000 to free the cable they left inside the line. They are unlicensed and unreputable. read more

Roto Rooter charged me $592 to clear my pipe. They told me they couldn't go through the roof access (via company policy) so they attempted to clear the pipe via toilet access.This didn't work and I was informed not to use my water and that I needed a more extensive service of $7-10,000. I then had Rooter Ranger come out to see if they could clear the pipe. They cleared it via the roof access enough that I can now use toilets and sinks. They charged me $147.00 for this. I was overcharged by Roto Rooter by $445 for a poorly completed job. read more
