“Requested service for clogged toilet that I had been trying to clear w/ a plunger all day. Your technician Damien arrived within the timeframe promised. Upon arrival he asked a couple plumbing related questions and then asked to see the toilet in question. When he tried flushing it, the toilet flushed and completed its cycle. I'm guessing that all the plunging I had done had worked, although I assure you a half hour prior the toilet wasn't functioning correctly. A big shout out to Damien & his impeccable timing! My husband is wheelchair bound and I was very worried about getting through the night without access to a working toilet. Your technicians have always been kind and professional with us and Damien was no different. He was a calming voice when I was pretty rattled about my predicament. His professional attitude and reassurance got me through my perceived disaster. A big thanks to Roto Rooter and employee Damien Mason for your help.”

“Thank you Rooter Hero team! After attempting to and being unsuccessful in scheduling a visit with one of several plumbing companies to unclog my kitchen sink, I thought I would have to endure even more gross backed up water and gunk for who knows how much longer. I was so discouraged. Then I stumbled upon Rooter Hero! My first contact was Marielyn who was able to schedule a consult that same day. She patiently answered my questions in a manner to give me hope that her company understood my frustration and and would do their best to meet my needs. Thank you so much for your attentiveness. How happy I was to open my door at the scheduled time to meet my Hero, Cody, standing there with the widest of smiles. Cody took the time to educate me regarding his diagnosis and plan. And, he listened and was respectful in explaining in layman’s terms what I needed to know. Thank you, Cody, for expertly repairing my plumbing in an hour and at a very fair price. My kitchen is fully functioning once again. As I told you, I will definitely be calling again to address future projects! Thank you very much for being easy to work with and for being My Hero!”

“Giovani is simply the best! He knows his work and does not charge you an arm and a leg. He is responsive, honest and punctual. I really appreciate how he explains the problem in layman terms so that I fully understand the issue. This is a special shout out for the awesome work he did a few years ago, which is long over due.... I wanted to get a bidet installed and had a special request which was for it to be connected from the sink vanity so that I can have hot and cold functionality. Giovani listened to my idea and quoted me a reasonable price to do the work. I was very particular about being able to check if there might be a leak in the future since the connection was coming through a wall.. and also bidets are known to start leaking. Giovani came up with a brilliant idea of not sealing the cover plate which allowed me to check between the wall for any leaks. It's been more than 4 years since he installed this and there are no leaks. Just goes to show he knows his craft well. He also replaced toilets and fixed some leaks around the house. Giovani is my go to person for any plumbing projects/repairs.”
