The hot and cold water supply connections for my washing machine were old and leaking. I just had a new washer and dryer delivered today, and I didn't like the idea of hooking the washer up and having a water leak behind the machine. I watched a lot of DIY videos and was going to try and fix it myself, but then it occurred to me that if I did the install incorrectly, I was still going to have to call a plumber to do it right, so why not just skip the part where I booger everything up? Lynda from Rooter-Man called me right away and we talked about when it would be most convenient for me to have a plumber come look at it and give me an estimate. Jared was at my house not even an hour later, and sure enough, he ran into some trouble that wasn't straightforward, but whereas I would have stared at it, not sure what to do, he knew exactly what to do, and had two nice new valves installed in a very short time. Knowing I won't have any leaks behind my washer gives me real peace of mind.

Response from Company:

Thank you so much for this thoughtful and detailed 5-star review, Tanya E.! We're truly grateful that you chose Rooter-Man of Washington instead of tackling those old, leaking hot and cold-water supply connections yourself smart call skipping the DIY risk, especially with a brand-new washer and dryer arriving the same day! That peace of mind knowing there won't be any hidden leaks behind the machine is exactly why we love what we do. Lynda gets consistent praise for her quick, friendly responses and flexible scheduling making it convenient right from the first call. And Jared stepping in so fast (under an hour!), diagnosing the non-straightforward trouble on the spot, and getting those two nice new valves installed quickly and cleanly We're thrilled the job went smoothly, everything's secure, and your laundry setup is leak-free and ready to go. This kind of review means the world to Lynda, Jared, and the whole Rooter-Man of Washington team it keeps us motivated to provide fast, reliable, customer-first service every time, especially when preventing bigger issues. Everything is still perfect with no drips or worries If any other plumbing needs pop up (preventive checks, another fixture, or whatever), we're just a call away Jared or another team member will be ready with the same quick, expert care. Thanks again for the amazing shoutout, for trusting us, and for the wise decision to call the pros, Tanya! Best regards, Robert and the Rooter-Man Team

Rooter man wasn’t my first choice but it really should have been! I had 2 companies come to replace my water heater and they both changed their estimate on me once arriving by over a thousand dollars. I tried those 2 first all to save a few hundred dollars. But after reading through Rooter Man’s estimate I was really getting something nobody else offering which was 2 yr labor warranty for the extra couple hundred and I got so much more than I expected once I committed to using them. After talking again with Lynda, they committed to their estimate, found an exact replacement (which ours is rare) got me in earlier than anticipated, and our technician Paul was amazing! He even came out on our only day of snow we’ve had all winter which I also didn’t expect. He got the hot water heater installed, the old one gone, explained everything he did/things to look for, and double checked everything was good to go before he left. By far the best experience I’ve had with any home service!

Response from Company:

Thank you so much for this heartfelt and detailed 5-star review, Cassie P.! We're genuinely touched that even though we weren't your first choice initially, we ended up being the right one and we're so glad you gave us the opportunity. Stories like yours, where other companies changed estimates dramatically (by over $1,000!) and added surprises, make us extra proud of our commitment to transparent, locked-in flat-rate quotes with no "gotcha" moments. That 2-year labor warranty (on top of the manufacturer's coverage) is one of the ways we stand behind our work, and it's rewarding to hear it gave you real peace of mind and value beyond the initial few hundred dollars difference. We're thrilled Lynda could help smooth things out re-confirming the estimate, sourcing an exact match for your rare model, and getting you scheduled earlier than expected. And Paul braving the snow (our only day this winter!) to make it happen? That's dedication! Hearing he installed the new water heater perfectly, hauled the old one away, explained everything clearly (including what to watch for), double-checked it all, and left you with reliable hot water is the best feedback we could ask for. Paul gets consistent praise in reviews across Tacoma, Puyallup, Waller, and the surrounding areas (on Angi, Yelp, Google, our site, and more) for being amazing on water heater installs professional, thorough, communicative (showing/explaining steps and photos), clean and efficient even in tough conditions, and going the extra mile without pressure. Customers often mention his expertise with tricky or rare setups, spotless work, and why they keep coming back to your experience aligns perfectly with that strong rep! This review means everything to Paul, Lynda, and the whole Rooter-Man of Washington team it reinforces why we focus on honesty, reliability, and exceptional customer service, especially in emergencies or when others fall short. By far the best experience you've had with any home service. That's high praise we're honored and grateful! Hope you're enjoying endless hot water and everything's staying perfect no issues at all? If any future plumbing needs arise (preventive checks, maintenance, or whatever), we're just a call away Paul or another top team member will be ready with the same great care. Thanks again for the amazing shoutout, for trusting us despite the initial hesitation, and for making us your choice, Cassie! Best regards, Robert and Lynda and the Rooter-Man Team [email protected]
