Tyrone used a camera to photograph the inside of mainline and identified many problems…

Everything from the phone call to having the tech here went smoothly. Elijah was friendly, knowledgeable and took the time to thoroughly explain what he did and how to prevent a back up from happening again. I hope I don't need to call them again for a while but if I need to I definitely will! 10/10 recommend!

We had a plug in the toilet that was made worse with a fallen comb. Rotor Rooter was the best in terms of response and sending a man out. Repair was quick, considerate and affordable for the work.

Service experience was perfect. Fast and friendly, arrived on time, took care of the issue at a fair price. Only disappointment was that they sent a water cleanup salesperson unannounced. We had no need for that service and he didn't even remove or cover shoes when entering our home.
