In my apartment, I had a leakage in my pipe and Aung Came during the holiday and repaired and replaced our pipes. He was super informative about the situation and helped explain the leak leakage cause! He worked very efficiently and got the job done in a timely manner!

Vincente was great, this is the 3rd time he has serviced my home. He explained everything he would be doing, went over possible consequences of his treatment, and then checked his work several times before cleaning up his tools. I would have no problem with him coming back if needed.

EDITED: They were prompt but ultimately failed to find the leak in my bathroom. I ended up finding it myself by turning the toilet supply valve on/off -- it was the toilet. I asked for my money back to cover the holes they cut in my walls while failing to find the leak. They returned it. I appreciated the prompt followup and making it right.

Vicente was an excellent technician! He gave a thorough explanation of the issue (defective P-trap under our bathroom sink) and was transparent with the quote. The work was performed efficiently and effectively. I would definitely recommend Roto-Rooter and specifically Vicente for any plumbing needs.
