I had a minor problem with my bathroom sink. I contacted Roto Rooter of Greenville NC and my technician was Jon. Jon was so polite, very knowledgeable of his job. He fully explained what was going on and he fixed it. Then checked it to make sure it was working properly before leaving. Thank you Jon

I will be calling them again! They communicated so well every step of the process (from calling them out to diagnosing the problem and finding a solution) so I never felt in the dark or confused about why something was necessary. The work was done quickly and cleanly! Always unfortunate when you need an emergency plumber but I’m happy to rely on them.

John from Roto Rooter from Jacksonville NC. Came out to determine the cause of toilet backup. He helped me get the solid side lid off of the septic tank. The issue was the solid side was too full and blocking the pipe from the house. All this for free because the were no clogged pipes. A very nice and respectful man…
