The customer service was great. Tom actually walked me through some steps on what I could do before an expensive repair over the phone before wanting to see the system. He also walked me through what kind of pumps I need to buy and since I was not able to find one, he was kind enough to use an existing one they had. Although the repair was expensive, it made me confidant that they have the skills to fix it.

Response from Company:

Thank you so much, Akalpit! We're really grateful for your thoughtful review and truly appreciate you highlighting Rob's excellent customer service?walking you through troubleshooting steps over the phone first, guiding you on the right pump options, and then stepping in with an existing one when you couldn't find what you needed. It's wonderful to hear that the experience built your confidence in our skills, even with the repair cost. We always aim to be honest, helpful, and do right by our customers, so feedback like this means a lot to Rob and the whole team. Thank YOU for trusting Rooter-Man with your sump pump repair and for the 4-star review?we'll be here ready to help anytime you need us in the future! ?

Super customer service, quick scheduling, competent and personable plumber, and seemed pricey ($700 to clear clogged washer drain in under an hour). I would use them again for plumbing, but would want to explore other quotes first to confirm their prices are in line with the local industry.

Response from Company:

Thank you so much for your thoughtful and honest review, Lydia! We're really glad to hear you found our customer service super, the scheduling quick, and the plumber competent and personable?that's exactly the experience we work hard to deliver every time. We truly appreciate you sharing your feedback on the pricing as well; we understand $700 for clearing a clogged washer drain felt high, especially for a job under an hour, and we're sorry it left you wanting to compare other quotes first. We always aim to provide fair, transparent pricing based on the expertise, equipment, and rapid response involved, but we completely respect your approach to shopping around to feel confident. Thank you for saying you'd still choose us again for future plumbing needs?that means a lot to the team. We value customers like you who take the time to share detailed thoughts, and we'll be here ready to help whenever you need us. Thank YOU for the review! ? Regards, Lynda Hanson owner of Rooter-man

I was able to get an appointment the same day and since I was expecting to have to wait awhile, that was awesome. Paul showed up within the scheduled time-frame, knew exactly what the problem was, had the part that was needed, the tools to remove the old cartridge and the job was done...I would say within about 30 minutes, Overall I'm a satisfied customer, and although it seems like a lot of money for a 30 minutes of work; I wouldn't have been able to do it and if I had, something would have inevitably gone very wrong (it always does). Therefore, it's worth the expense to not have the frustration and headache of it not being as simple as what is always stated in the instructional videos I watch for assistance. :-)

Response from Company:

Thank you so much, Julie! We're really thrilled to hear we could get you an appointment the same day and surprise you with that quick turnaround?Paul arriving on time, diagnosing the issue right away, having the exact part and tools on hand, and wrapping everything up in about 30 minutes is exactly the efficient, no-hassle service we aim to deliver every time. We completely understand that the cost can feel high for a short job, and we truly appreciate your perspective that the real value comes from avoiding the frustration, headaches, and potential mishaps that come with DIY attempts (those instructional videos always make it look easier than it is!). It's wonderful to know you're a satisfied customer and that the peace of mind was worth it to you. Thank YOU for the kind words, the understanding, and the fantastic 5-star review?it means a lot to Paul and the whole team. We'll be here ready and happy to help anytime you need us in the future?no waiting required if we can help it! ? Regards, Lynda Hanson owner of Rooter-man

Seal of Approval

What is the screening process that Service Professionals go through in order to become members of the HomeAdvisor network?

  1. Verify Trade License
    HomeAdvisor checks to see if the business carries the appropriate state-level license.
  2. Verify Insurance
    As a part of our screening process, we encourage professionals to carry general liability insurance. We require coverage for hundreds of services.
  3. Verification of State Business Filings
    For business types that require a Secretary of State filing, we confirm that the business is in good standing in the state in which it is located.
  4. Criminal Records Search
    HomeAdvisor uses 3rd party data sources to conduct a criminal search for any relevant criminal activity associated with the owner/principal of the business.
  5. Sex Offender Search
    We confirm that the owner/principal is not listed on the official state Sex Offender web site in the state in which the owner/principal of the company is located.
  6. Bankruptcy Search
    We use 3rd party data sources to check the history of the principal/owner of the business for bankruptcy filings by or against them.
  7. Legal Search for Civil Judgments
    We use 3rd party data sources to check the principal/owner of the business for state level civil legal judgments entered against them.
  8. Liens Search
    We use 3rd party data sources to check the principal/owner of the business for liens placed against them.
  9. Identity Verification (SSN)
    HomeAdvisor verifies the social security number(s) of the owner/principal for identity check purposes. This check applies primarily to smaller business entities.
  10. Identity Verification (Reverse Phone Lookup)
    We conduct a reverse business phone lookup to identify records matching the phone number information provided by the business.
