Fast & Reliable Service

Easy to book, quick response, and professional service. The app made the whole process simple when I needed help fast.

Response from developer

Quick to give outrageous prices.

Ok, so my sewer pipe may have been old but I don’t think there was a hole in it before they came. They charged an outrage fee for snaking and when the camera went down they found a hole. They send other guys for water clean up and within the hour they want 10k and promise that insurance will cover it. Slow down and get a real plumber.

Scamish

I booked an appointment and was suggested to download the app to download coupons for my service-so I did. I went to the coupon page and it’s blank. So, if you’re getting it for the savings….dont bother.

Liars! They’re franchised too-so no corporate!

UPDATE: Manager has reached out to “make things right”and says he is sending a check to pay for the tub they destroyed. Dehumidifier:That thing has probably been in so many sewage basements and crimescenes. He said it would ALL be covered by insurance. And it was at the time. Fast forward a few months and I realized why we were told not to shut our bathroom door because of the heat. It’s because the bathroom door was hiding 2 gaping holes in our tub and our drain was destroyed and probably the drain pipe. After over a month trying to get a hold of the manager, customer service and roto rooter corporate and just putting another help request ticket in they were all ignored. When he finally came out because I told him about the damage to our bathtub he admitted to it and said he and his boss would get together and figure something out with insurance. According to RR they’re still negotiating. According to insurance they’re not and they’ve left us with a big fat bill because instead of fixing the parts of our tub that they broke, the cut it up into sections and “disposed of it” saying it was my idea and now they won’t put a tub back in and my insurance won’t cover their incompetence. Seaking all avenues of rectification and letting the world know who they are dealing with.

Cannot set up properly….

The app has an address similar to mine, in another location. It won’t even let me pick my address in the list. The app is unresponsive to my taps.

Great experience

Super easy and intuitive to use. Personally loved the ability to track the service technician arrival and the service overall was great.

Missing invoice/service details

The app is OK for very basic things like knowing your tech is on the way and you’re basically forced to use it if you want their coupons. However, it lacks any details about your service. You can’t look at invoices, notes from the service or anything else. History just says you had this service on this date.

App doesn’t work

Can not get passed the screen asking you to turn on notifications because the button to accept is cropped off the screen.

Doesn't work

I scheduled an appointment and received a text telling me I could track the technician if I downloaded this app. It doesn't work and never tracked any of the two appointments I scheduled, forcing me to call them to find out what was going on. Completely useless.

Junk

Won’t open on my iPhone junk

Won’t send me the code to verify my phone number and tells me it can’t be sent.

Won’t work starting at the opening of the app. Can’t even get through the set up process.

App doesn't work

App just shows notifications page. Can't get any further.

No notification options

I’m unable to access your app as a new customer. When I opened the app it came to the page asking to turn on notifications but never gave the pop up to enable them. I looked through the settings to turn on notifications to see if I could continue but was unable to find the setting. I looked in the app settings and notification settings. I also tried hard rebooting my phone and reinstalling the app but nothing got me closer. Please investigate this further, thank you.

Thanks!

The main drain to sewer line at my house had overflowed. It was a very worrisome situation. Turns out it was clogged and had some roots growing in. It was a great relief getting this taken care of. From the phone call to the on site work, service was professional , on time and courteous. Mike the tech was great. Appreciate it.

It’s great to hear Mike took good care of you with professional, timely service. Thank you for your trust in Roto-Rooter and your kind words!

Over Priced Service

Never use again. My bathtub drain was clogged. A tech came the same day (a pro), but he looked at it… had to go to his truck to put it in computer to tell me it was going to be $480 for 15 minutes labor. The drain is flowing, but $480? A huge con. No offer of senior discounts, no offer of military discounts. I feel majorly taken advantage of. I will never call them again for service. I guess they are known for overcharging.

Plumbing Pro at Your Fingertips

Great app for scheduling plumbing service and looking for helpful plumbing tips. The app also has a coupon section.

Scam alert

Got charged for unfinished job, pls avoid it by any chance

Ridiculous prices

I had a dishwasher that would not drain. I could not find anything about pricing online. Even got a coupon for $15 to download the app. So the tech shows up. Says it’s $189 just to do a diagnostic and I would have to pay for the repair after. Also told me the coupon “wasn’t real.” I said that was too much and he left.
