Customer Reviews

Susan Schmid

We had a toilet that was running a lot and eventually leaked into our kitchen ceiling. I called Hessian Plumbing/Ron the Sewer Rat and they were able to come out the next day. Ezra and Dre were great! They were honest and thorough. They took time to listen to me, evaluate the problem and give me some options for fixing the problem. They answered all my questions and were able to get the parts and complete the work same day! We also have a couple other minor plumbing issues that they gave me information and quotes for. Their service and expertise are top notch. I intend to call them again for our other issues. We chose this company because they have done excellent work for our son and our daughter. Both our kids had nothing but great things to say about their experience too! We would highly recommend this company!

Great experience! Called in and immediately spoke with a women who helped me through my panic and got me scheduled. Technicians were on time, knowledgeable, and friendly! They send out a text showing you who is coming to your home before they arrive as well. They were willing to walk around with my husband to figure out a few smaller items that we needed to confirm outside of the main concern we called about. Pricing was straight forward before any work was performed and within what I expected to pay. Thank you!

Mary Burth

We chose Ron the Sewer Rat for our sewer scope inspection when buying a house. Both the company and our technician Garvin were very professional and thorough from the start. Garvin was knowledgeable and friendly, taking time and care to talk us through the process as he worked. It was a cool process and very informative, and the report and video that followed has been helpful as well. Im glad we did this to aid us in our decision making process. I would choose Garvin and Ron the Sewer Rat again right away for my plumbing/sewer needs!

Jon Robinson

This was my first time using Ron the Sewer Rat, and I was extremely impressed from start to finish. I reached out to schedule an appointment to clean out a clogged main line drain, and their dispatch team called the same day to confirm all the details. They followed up again Monday morning to reconfirm the appointment and even sent a text with the service details and information about the technician who was being dispatched. The communication throughout the entire process was excellent and very reassuring. Tim was the technician who came out, and he was outstanding. He was very professional and took the time to answer all of my questions. The service was a little pricier than I initially expected, but with the level of communication, professionalism, and overall quality of service I received, it was worth every penny. I highly recommend this company and will absolutely use them again in the future.

Michael is a fantastic technician and did such a great job with our sewer clean out today! I'm so grateful for his patience figuring out our issue, explaining everything to me and answering all my questions along the way. I was really impressed and appreciative! I was so relieved to be able to get an appointment so quickly also- I requested an appointment last night when our issue came up and Michael was able to fix our issue this morning. Thank you!

Does Ron the Sewer Rat repair lines after an I&I inspection?

No. The company says its I&I inspections are diagnostic only; it does not perform repairs and can refer repair work to a local professional.

Can Ron the Sewer Rat camera-inspect a backed-up line?

The company says the camera cannot see through dirty water in a backed-up line and describes an inspection in that situation as futile.

Who qualifies for the mainline maintenance discount?

The company says the January-through-April discount requires a mainline cleaning by Ron the Sewer Rat within the prior 12 months; a currently backed-up mainline does not qualify.
