They did exactly what they said they'd do for a reasonable price. They charged $77 to clear the drain, which they did. Actually Jason was able to spend quite some time explaining the problem. He said it could be a "belly" which apparently is a pretty common problem in older houses, which actually means that the sewer pipe sags down near the center, allowing for lots of crud to collect in the middle... ... the funny thing is that after spending quite a long time explaining all this to me (twenty minutes or half an hour) after they cleaned the pipe, while they were talking, I had the tap on all that time. They left and got in their truck, and I went back and was shocked to find that the sink was over flowing all over the cabinets and flooring... so I ran out and caught them before they left. They came back and cleared it up a second time. So Jason recommended that I get the sewer checked by camera, which would cost another $250. They didn't have a camera that worked in my sewer, so they had to come back to do that, and that still didn't work, so I ended up getting the camera work done by a different plumber for the same price. I attached that video from the other plumber to show what it looked like after they cleaned it. The other plumber confirmed that it was a so-called "belly" that Jason called it, and said I will need to clean it out every once in a while, and that was probably the best way to deal with it. Think of it as maintenance, like an oil change for your car... All that said, they did end up cleaning it for the $77 they originally quoted. I also paid extra ($250) for the camera work by another plumber. I called many other places, and that was the lowest price i could find.

Excellent service from Gil at Rooter Hero Plumbing. We are currently house sitting for friends and one of the bathrooms had serious issues with clogged pipes. We called and they sent out a ticket to the next available tech. We had someone come out to the house within 2 hours! It was already 6pm and I was worried this would sit until tomorrow. But lucky for us Rooter Hero is open 24 hours. Gil was so kind, he took his time to inspect and gave me the options we had to clear the pipes. He didn't try to upsell me on the most expensive fix. We went with the only option available which was to remove the toilet and snake it. He really did an amazing job, he even noticed the shower drain was clogged. He unclogged that as well! Very professional service! He made sure to lay town tarps to protect the carpets. Highly recommended team, I would call them again in the future for any of our plumbing needs. They accept credit and cash. It was a very easy and smooth transaction. Thank you!

Rooter Hero saved the day! Our problem started early at 7am on a Sunday. We called the first business that popped up in Google (a Rooter Hero competitor). We were promised a technician would be out by 10am-12pm... No show. We called and were promised it would be closer to 2pm-4pm... No show. We called again and were told they were not sure whether they could get to us. We called Rooter Hero, and were treated with compassion, honesty, integrity and professionalism from the first call, to the dispatcher call. They were upfront that it was late on a Sunday, and could not promise they could get to us, but they PROMISED "If we cannot get there tonight, we will have our supervisor (Michael S.) swing by first thing." Mike showed up promptly at 7am. All around, start to finish, great customer service, great technician, great service, great price. Rooter Hero earned a customer for life! Thank you Rooter Hero!

  • Sarah Dettmann

Highly Recommend. Amazing Customer Service. Knowledgeable. Timely. Definitely Hero’s in my book. Emergency is an understatement for what happened to my bathroom and on of all days, a Saturday morning. My sewer line had backed up into my shower, I was panicking. To make it worse I only have one bathroom. They answered right away. I believe it was Elizabeth who answered she was so sweet, and ensured she would help me get it addressed that same day given the situation I was in. Within less then 2 hrs Jason came to the rescue. I really appreciated how knowledgeable, communicative and respectful he was of my home. He did an amazing job, thank you !!! I definitely feel they went above and beyond. And would highly recommend. They are staying at the top of my list for plumbing work and repairs! Thank You guys so much.

  • Pat Vine

Last week we called Rooter Hero to fix a plugged kitchen sink and disposal problems.We thought it was taken care of. Until it happened again this week. After calling and requesting a repeat repair, Rooter Hero immediately sent another plumber out within the hour and he did a very thorough job of fixing both problems. Jacob Martinez fixed the disposal and unplugged the sink. The company stands by their work with a guarantee that they honored. I will recommend Rooter Hero to everyone and will definitely call them with all of our plumbing problems.

  • Michael Milgrom

I called this company and asked them to get an argent plumber. the plumber got to me in within 2 hours. The plumber gave me all the options and told me all the risks of trying to fix it instead of replacing it. He was very thorough in his job, he set on the floor a clean the garbage disposal. and found several pieces of metal and wood instead. and he kept digging to find more. he kept the are clean and was very friendly. This review is my way to appreciate the good job he did.

  • Katherine Andan

Fantastic experience start to finish. Had a clogged shower that was threatening to overflow and could’ve been a huge disaster. Called Rotor Hero Plumbing and Jacob was here within 90 minutes. He was kind, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in helping solve the problem. He keep working on the clogged drain until he could pinpoint what the problem was and then solved it. Highly recommend this company and if possible, ask for Jacob!

  • Denise Smith

Thank you Rooter Hero. Emily was kind and professional on the phone. She contacted me twice to make sure I was updated as to when my technician would arrive. Max Jimenez arrived and was wonderful. I have no water and a bad leak. He quickly diagnosed the problem and was very kind and informative. I will call Rooter Hero in a heartbeat in the future. Thank you Rooter Hero for being my Hero on a Sunday and no crazy Sunday fee added.

  • Felipe Nguyen

We had an issue with backup drains. It was 9pm and didn't think we could get any help. Gil called us a few minutes later and said he can be at our home in 30 minutes. He showed up in 30 minutes and was very friendly and professional. Assessed the situation and came up with a solution. Very knowledgeable and he even said he would follow up with a phone call in a day or two. Thanks for the prompt service even at late hours.

  • maria

After calling 15 different companies for emergency after hours service call, Rooter Hero were the only ones that could accommodate us. Gil was punctual, knowledgeable and took care of everything fast and efficiently. He was very friendly and gave us great recommendations which was awesome considering technicians being called out after hours aren't always friendly. Thank you Rooter Hero and Gil!!

  • Reiner Klement

Great service. Selected Rooter Hero Plumbing based on availability and rating. Scheduling was easy and team tried hard to accommodate same day service. Technician showed up in time scheduled and discussed required work up front. Work was done in a clean and efficient way. Overall team didn't spent more then 1h on the premise. Team was friendly and helpful. Will definitely use them again.

  • Eric Ho

Jason came by our house a couple of days to access the hose copper pipe leading from inside the house to outside where it is hooked up to a garden hose. The pipe was damaged inside the wall and required soldering and replacing the damaged part. He was very easy to talk to and worked with. Excellent job and peace of mind knowing that the issue has been resolved before a major catastrophe.

  • Dipen Dalal

I hired Rooter Hero to replace hot and cold water shut off valves for the washing machine. Hot water shut off valve had been leaking, I had pleasure working with Brandon. He arrived on time. He was very courteous. He explained the repair needed and the estimate for it. Estimate was very reasonable. Brandon completed the work in professional manner. I would highly recommend Rooter Hero.

  • sharie abrego

Gilbert was absolutely amazing! We had an emergency due to our pipes being backed up with TP, he showed up with a smile and good attitude which was amazing being we called on a Sunday night. He was able to quickly resolve the issue and was very professional. I would most definitely recommend this company. Gilbert, honestly I can’t thank you enough! You truly are a HERO!

  • Lauri Atkinson

Gilbert Herrera was awesome! He showed up on time, assessed the issue and gave me a quote, and he fixed it. He was very respectful and polite, and he made sure I was understanding everything he was doing. It was a messy job but he left my place cleaner than it was when he got here! Next time I need a plumber, I’ll be asking for Gilbert. He was great!!

  • Beth Hogan

Jason saved the day. It was a minor repair, but he took the time to check other things and show me where all the water shut-off valves are. He was professional and friendly, and I really appreciate all he did to help me in my time of need. I have his card hanging on my refrigerator; I hope I don’t need him, but if I do, I’ll be sure to call.

  • Devon Troeger

Rooter Hero sent out Gil to help us out when we dropped an earring down the drain. Unfortunately our drain was sealed and the vacuum solution did not help! Gil came out and solved the issue within an hour and a half of calling on a Sunday! We are thrilled. Earring recovered, drain repaired and we are now able to disassemble it if we need to.

  • Linda Bottella

You hear stories of little old ladies being taken advantage of….not the case with Jason. He introduced himself, kept me apprised of what issues he was finding and explained what he proposed and what the costs would be to me. This was my first Rooter experience and should I need plumbing assistance, I will call Rooter and request Jason!

  • maris laipenieks

Had a clogged bathtub drain. Called (based on their great reviews) and gave description of the exact issue. They quoted $77 for clearing the tub drain. Made an appointment. The plumber came and re-quoted me about $325 and said the call center screwed up. He said only mainline clearing was $77. Not cool.
