Highly recommended this company and the technician Travis. He is very professional and explains everything to you. Also appreciate the same day response for a stressful water emergency. Look forward to doing business with this company and especially Travis in the future. The person who schedules your appointment will narrow it down to a couple hours which is highly useful when waiting.

Dean has come to our home a couple times now to fix various issues. He always gets the job done, and in a timely manner. When there was a mysterious odor coming from our toilet, we werent sure if it was the toilet seat (an easier, cheaper fix) or if there was an issue with the flooring around the base of the toilet (definitely a more expensive fix). He could have easily started with the tougher fix and charged more, but instead he told us he would start with the easier thing first and take it from there. We definitely feel we can trust him, which can be hard to find.

Travis came out and I explained the problem to him. He immediately took the time to investigate potential causes for the issue. When the time came to look a little deeper for a solution, he experimented to find a way to fix our problem that other plumbers we hired werent able to think of. He was also extremely personable and gave a fair price for the work. Definitely will call him again for our plumbing needs. Thank you!

Needed a new toilet installed and a sink head replacement. Travis was awesome. Came out for a quick quote and then followed up a few days later for the repairs. Ended up finishing in under 3 hours. Will definitely call him again if I need more plumbed.

Travis showed up in less an hour of us calling the office! He was extremely professional, personable and resolved our plumbing issue quickly! We appreciated him answering all of our questions and the suggestions he made to help prevent incidents like this from occurring down the road... But if that ever happens, we'll know who to call! Thanks again!

After spending hours seing if I could hook up a vanity/sink with different measurements than the previous, I had enough time waste. Called Rooter man, Robert came by next morning on time and had it fixed in 10-15 min. Very pleasant and professional experience. Will call them first next time.

Very quick, very professional. I'm putting these guys on speed-dial.

update: I had another issue -- needed a new washer hookup. Not too crazy. They came out a few days later to take a look, gave me an estimate on the spot, and were able to come out the next morning to do the work. It looks fantastic, saved me literally a thousand bucks. I'm still VERY happy with their work and working with them.

Travis was awesome. He was on time and he was so professional. He quickly located the issue and even gave suggestions on upkeep. He had to dig in the garden and to my surprise he even replanted my plants that were dug up in the process. Id definitely recommend and use again!!

My repairman was early to his appointment, and patiently waited there before I came home instead of rushing to another job. Then he was able to quickly find a solution and move forward with fixing it. Im beyond grateful for how quickly he worked, and Im thrilled with my shower finally working properly!

The Rooter Man team was great from start to finish. Great customer service from every team member I spoke to and the technicians that came out. They were able to help me the day I called and returned the next day when I had more issues. I would recommend them to anyone and will continue to use them for future services.

Nathan arrived on time and quickly got to the root of our clogged sink and drains. He communicated the problem and solution very well. He was very professional and made sure the system worked before he left. I have used this company before and didnt hesitate in calling them again. This is the kind of service you expect but dont usually get. They have my highest recommendation.

This is the 2nd time I've called them for 2 different issues at 2 different homes. They have always been friendly, efficient and knowledgeable. They worked my jobs into their schedule and when they had the opportunity to make it earlier, they notified me. If all contractors were this honest and easy to deal with the world would be a better place. I will call them again the next time the need arises.
