We had an emergency situation on a commercial roof. Western Rooter came out the same day a few hours after the initial call. They sent me an estimate and after we approved they were out there first thing in the morning the issue was resolved and everyone was happy. We will always call Western Rooter for any plumbing issues in the future.

Mitch at Western Rooter has been assisting us in getting to know a home we just bought. He was able to repair leaking fixtures, advise on a water conditioning unit, and locate our water shut off valves. We will certainly be calling them again. They are responsive, fast, and efficient.

Appointment was scheduled with a 2 hour window for arrival, which was perfect and arrival was within window. Homer was fantastic in explaining the problem and what needed to be addressed (shower valve cartridge). He suggested ordering the part directly from manufacturer and they will return to install once I had the part Great knowledgeable service!
