Justin and Ethan were AMAZING. I can’t thank them enough for coming out to my house and fixing a main drain sewer backup immediately. Justin was so knowledgeable and explained everything every step of the way. They fixed the problem right away and explained all of the ways to prevent it in the future. Highly recommend.

Clogged sewer line. Ran into an issue with tree roots causing blockage in the sewer line. The result was water leak in basement. Called Roto-rooter and within an hour a truck was at the house to diagnose the problem. The result was the need for a “Jetter” truck to power wash the sewer line and clear roots and debris.
