Great! Khaden came out in about 2 hours. He displayed exceptional customer service. Khaden listened, examined, recommended service, and completed service. Khaden appeared to have a high level of expertise. He recommended action for reducing/preventing clogged pipes. Initial issue was slow draining water, leading to leaking.

Israel and Mike were out at the specified time and did a fantastic job clearing my septic line. They went above and beyond to make sure I would not need to have my sewer pipe cleaned again anytime soon. Jayson came by after and checked my whole sewer line with this camera. They found a little more Roots so Israel went in and took those out as well. The whole process took over 2 hours. I was happy with the service and price. I recommend using coupons if you can. These guys are fast and good and worth a little bit extra.They went above and beyond to make sure I would not need to have my sewer pipe cleaned again anytime soon.

I had a great experience with Roto-Rooter. Orion and Luis were amazing. They were efficient, friendly, and very knowledgeable. Before they got started, they took a look at everything and explained how the process would go. They also told me that if they were not able to fix the problem, they would not charge me. The work is guaranteed for six months, which gave me even more peace of mind. They were polite and courteous the entire time. I called in the morning and they were at my house within an hour. The whole process was smooth and stress-free. I highly recommend them.
