Tim Peterson came and did a very good job for us. We had called Roto Rooter yesterday and they came and wrongly assessed the problem and gave us a huge estimate! Fortunately Tim Peterson came and not only diagnosed the problem but fixed the problem at a fraction of the price!! We are very pleased with the service provided.
