I had a severe clog in my bathroom sink. Vivian came along and saved the day. When he realized the severity Vivian went out and got the necessary parts to resolve the problem. Thank you Vivian for eliminating my worst nightmare. The sink drainage is working great.

Roto Rooter got two wonderful plumbers here early. They replaced a water pipe under an attic floor quickly and with professionalism. They were both polite friendly and fast. I am delighted with their work and assistance.

Called, they were here in a record amount of time, extremely personable, and kind quick and efficient. We’ve been using someone else for a reoccurring problem for a few years now, but he was on vacation this weekend, we may be dropping him and switching over to Roto rooter for our plumbing issues!

Roto-Rooter to the rescue! From start to finish, the team was a dream.

Through phone calls, texts, and emails, he kept me updated every step of the way,…
