Ruan was very friendly and did an excellent job. He was able to fix my water heater saving me a substantial amount of money by not having to replace the water heater. He was a Godsend! I would recommend him to anyone. He is a honest and respectable man and explained everything clearly. I'm so grateful 🙏

When the water heater decided to burst at midnight on a Saturday night, Roto-Rooter was the only plumber who advertised 24/7 service that actually provides 24/7 service!

They came to provide a service which in turn provided me with the incorrect information. The issue wasn’t electrical, in fact the problem was with the water heater.
