Express Rooter Plumbing

In October I had a floor drain installed in my furnace room. Bob took the extra time to ensure the drain was where he thought it would be and of course, he was right! This ensured no extra digging and kept costs to a minimum – which were reasonable because I did have more than one quote. Using detailed description, he explained to me exactly what was involved. Extra care was taken to keep the area leading to the furnace room protected and all the work area was neatly cleaned upon completion. I also appreciated use of the camera a second time to check on the condition of all pipes involved. Excellent work!

The service was great. The office staff were well organized and courteous; a phone call was made to me to confirm the time of the appointment since I had a way to travel from work to meet the technician. The technician protected and kept the kitchen clean during the work. To top it off, the source of the blocked drain ended up being some roots which extended the job longer than expected. The snake got clogged with the roots and I expected him to show his anger and frustration, but that didn't happen. In my 44 years, this is my first positive story about plumbers or plumbing company.

I was feeling a little panicky when I discovered a pipe in my basement was leaking and in half a day the drips almost filled a bucket. On trying the yellow pages, Express Rooter was the first human response that I received, and the receptionist was so courteous and helpful that I immediately felt half my problems were over. The plumber, Vladimir, arrived later that day at the specified time, and took great care to explain exactly what needed to be done and to offer his advice based on knowledge and experience. As far as I can tell, he did an excellent job and I feel satisfied.

We had a backup in our basement drain, and we decided to hire Express Rooter. Through the discovery on Holmes on Holmes to come out and quote problem. After discussing all the options available, we ultimately decided on a scope/camera inspection to find the cause of the problem; roots in the drain pipe along with some other debris. Bob was professional, courteous and thorough when dealing with the issue. Kept everything clean and tidy even though the smell could not be helped when opening the cleanout. Within a short period of time he discovered at what point the problem had occurred and unclogged the back-up. How nice was that swoosh sound! With respect to everything that transpired I was very delighted in the patience Bob displayed regarding the multitude of questions I had asked. Would recommend and hire this company again to do future work.

I used them on two different occasions (recently and last winter). I had a sewer that was backed up and coming back through a drain in the floor of the laundry room. They came out and snaked the full line all the way to the street 80-90 feet or so, removed the blockage, and made everything work again. I also had some copper pipes that burst last winter due to cold weather and then there was water spraying everywhere. They came over and repaired three different breaks and helped prevent future breaks from happening. Just outstanding! Both calls were on rental properties that I manage and both calls were after hours. The first was a Saturday night and they sent someone out who not only fixed the problem, but also took the steps to explain everything to me. He was very helpful and helped me to understand why this happened as well as what we could do to prevent it.

Great service, workmanship, educational. Work was done properly and very clean. Bob and his team did an excellent job! We couldn't be happier.
A big thanks to everyone at Express Rooter!!

I totally remodeled my bathroom! I decided to call Express Rooter for an estimate. When Rob arrived he was very very innovative. He had ideas that turned out to have remarkable effects. He even threw in ideas of faucets and sinks! I must say my concern was prices. Rob not only made the assets affordable, but the labor was as well. This company has it all! From the great customer service, to the amazing technicians. Thanks a bundle!

When I woke up in the morning I heard an ocean-like sound from outside. Hoping it wasn't coming from my house, I investigated to find that my hose faucet pipe was gushing water under my deck (where it then leaked into the basement, but that's another problem for another contractor). I tried and failed to reach another plumber, and finally tried Express Rooter at around 11:00am. The person who answered the telephone was friendly and efficient, and she arranged for someone to come to my house between 12 and 2 that same afternoon. Rob arrived on time, quickly diagnosed the problem and the cause (no inside shutoff valve to the hose faucet, shoddy plumbing when hose faucet was installed). He gave me an estimate to fix the burst pipe and also install valves on that and my other hose faucet so this wouldn't happen again. He even gave me an instruction sheet on how to shut off the faucets in fall.The work was completed quickly and correctly, and Rob left everything clean and tidy. He was friendly, good-humoured and patient with my four-year-old's questions. All in all a very satisfying end to a stressful day.

ExpressRooter saved the day. I had a sewer that was over flowing out of a pipe in my front yard. Jason one of the drain techs, came out and snaked out my sewer line and showed me what was wrong. He had a camera to show me what the problem was and how we could fix it. The quality of his work and his professionalism just blew me away. Before he even started the work he knew where the problem was going to be and how long it would take. There is not a bad thing I can say about Jason. It’s great to know there are still companies out there that believe in quality workmanship and customer satisfaction. Thank you so much Jason & ExpressRooter!!
