Shut off valve replacement

Our homes water shut off valve was leaking so I called Mr. Rooter. Couldn’t get a quote until they came here but by then I already had the city shut off the water at a charge and needed the work done before 3:30. Was kind of stuck at that point to get other quotes. Happy with the end product but found out the price Mr. Rooter quoted was very steep for the service performed.

Bathroom pipe leaks, improper piping fixes, new faucet installation

Rick came to our home because of water leaking through our dining room ceiling from the upstairs bathroom. He quickly ensured we got the services to open the ceiling and start the drying process, and replaced the leaking copper piping for the sink cold water supply and toilet water supply that was bent and corroded as well as added shut offs to our sink and toilet. In addition, he also detailed the current piping "renovations" done by previous owners of my home were incorrect and we also had these updated along with faucet move and new installation in the master bath. Everything is now leak free and I have greater peace of mind with respect to the integrity of the upstairs plumbing.

Rick was extremely pleasant to work with, and takes great pride in his work and ensuring everything is installed correctly, all the while explaining what he needs to do and why, and ensuring all (which were many) questions and concerns were answered. He also took time in demonstrating through diagrams so systems and how they work are easily understood. Even providing history as to how houses like mine were built and the challenges that occurred with this construction period provided interesting background as to why certain things in my house are the way they are.

Rick has a strong focus on customer service and this is evident both with his thorough work and pleasant demeanour. I highly recommend Rick's service, and Mr. Rooter in general. We have had great service in all jobs they have done in our home.

Kitchen faucet replacement

Rick Phillips came on time and was efficient and very pleasant to deal with. He explained the costs of the replacement and again the benefits for us and the family of the Mr Rooter membership which we already have. This has already paid for itself. Would recommend Rick.

Bathroom toilets

We have had 2 toilets put in last January, 2017 and they work extremely well and the work was done exceptionally by Brian M. He explains everything really well and knows his trade. This past week the lid on one of them did not work. The very next day Brian came and replaced the lid which was rare for it to not work. It is working great now. In 2016 we had the third toilet put in. Also in 2017 we had two new tapes put the bathrooms. Mr. Rooter is great and very honest and does great work.

clogged kitchen drain

Our kitchen drain got clogged last night, Friday night, I tried baking soda/vinegar, then I used chemicals, they have always worked in the past, not this time, so I went to Lowes at 8:30 at night and bought a snake. My son and I were up until 1:00 in the morning feeding this snake thru the drain, I hit water a couple of times, pulled out some crud, but nothing really significant, I felt we were getting close but then unfortunately we buggered the snake, the coil had kinked, so then I decide that first thing Saturday morning I would buy another snake and be a little more careful. No success and we buggered the second snake so it is now time to call a plumber. I googled Plumbers and scrolled thru the list I saw Mr RotoRooters, and because I had seen their trucks, I called them. I spoke with someone right away, the next call back came a half hour later with the message "A Plumber will be there in an hour and his name is Rick. In about an hour Rick is at my door. Rick was terrific, we were so grateful that we could get this level of service in such a short time. High skill, high knowledge and very forthcoming with information and professional advice. Good humor, considerate, easy going, my wife and I really enjoyed talking to Rick. We wish him all good things.

Stuck Kitchen Drain

Kitchen sink was stuck so called Mr Rooter to come. Showed up quite fast the next day morning and was very professional. Service was clean and tidy, even wore shoe covers in the house. Plumber spent 2 hours snaking my drain and finally cleared the clog. Very good service.

The only gripe I have with the service was all the claims the website made was not all true. I understand they say "Not offered at all locations. Reach out to your local Mr. Rooter Plumbing to find out more. " for some of the claims but if it's a franchise it should really be more uniform throughout.

The up front pricing claim wasn't really met because there was a surprise fuel surcharge on the bill afterwards which was not communicated to me in the beginning. Also, due to the situation of my drain, he had to install a new cleanout which I did agree to but was surprised that it end up costing another $60.

Also their overtime claim... in my case I did not go overtime but if I went over 2 hours it would have been another hundred something an hour.

So in conclusion, I was very satisfied with the work but I would not recommend Mr Rooter because of their high costs and differentiating website claims.

Toilet clog - but really much more

Our main floor toilet was overflowing, which we thought was just a clog or backup. We called Mr. Rooter based on a recommendation from a friend and good homestars reviews. Rob C arrived at our house within 24 hours of our call and immediately diagnosed the problem - a severely clogged main drain. Rob was great always letting me know the status and what the next step would be. One of the definite positives of Mr. Rooter is the transparency of the pricing, you know what you are getting into before the work starts. It took some time to complete the job, but it went exactly the way Rob said it would. I appreciated his candidness on the scale of our issue.

We ended up having the main line hydro jetted. Rob also snaked the toilet line and and made sure there were no issues with the pipes, let us see the camera view that they were clear of all debris. It was important to get the issue fixed same day, and Rob made sure it was.

The only part I was unsure of is price , we didn't have time to look into other companies (due to the size of our issue) so I don't know if it was reasonable or not. For me - the peace of mind and ease of service definitely made it worth it and would tell anyone who asked the same. Will definitely call in the future if we have a problem.
