Rooter Man GTA

would not recommend at all.. at the time, we were impressed w their timeliness, and professionalism however about 2 months later We ended up having issues and thought it was the city pipes .. when the city came to look, it was discovered that although we paid for all clay pipes to be replaced by Rooter Man, signed the contract et , we discovered Rooter Man had in fact only replaced 8 ft of the clay pipes and left 6ft of clay pipes to the city line unreplaced (even though we were told and the contract indicated it was all replaced.

Rooter Man is not to be trusted. They claim to know what the problem and solution is but take advantage of people. They did not follow up on what they said they were doing and gave wrong information about what needed to be done. They did not follow up to complete the work and took no responsibility for providing false information. They know the loops that they can use to misguide and over charge people. From my experience, they took advantage of my situation and provided me with a wrong assessment and over charged me. Ask them if they have a customer service policy. They are unethical. I would not recommend them.

Looking for a back flow valve, I called Rooter Man based on what I found on their website. Mike came out to the job and said I would need two back flow valves. Job was done and paid for, when I was inspecting and found out that the second back flow valve served no purpose. It was a dead end pipe! I called Mike he came back, inspected, agreed that the second one should have never been installed, agreed to refund me but had to ok it with his boss.
I did not receive a call back so I have been trying to contact him, the office and the owner for 8 weeks and have been ignored. They were prompt before and during the job, but now won't return any calls. This is terrible business to day they least and I would not trust any of them.
So I have to question if it was a mistake or if they do this knowingly?(installing and charging for unnecessary things)!
So in short; FIND ANOTHER PLUMBER!! DONT CALL ROOTER MAN!! DONT TRUST MIKE OR BARRY!
I welcome anyone from Rooter Man to resolve this!!

After being a loyal Rooterman customer of 15+ years, who has referred others to them, we are very dissappointed and angered by their recent work on our home. We needed our sewage line replaced under the house out to the city connection. To start with the crew they sent did nothing but complain the about the job for the whole three days they were on site. It was obvious our work was subcontracted out to small operator. We let the the project supervisor know that his team was rude to us and did nothing but complain. They also placed the clean out access in the middle of our lawn not where it originally was which was close to the house and out of the way. Begrudgingly they came back a week or so later to move it. A few days later my next door neighbours (who are friends of ours) mentioned that their basement was backing up with sewage. They called in a plumber of their own and began to have their line replaced. Two days after their work started it was discovered that their line which connects to our line in a Y connection had been blocked by Rooterman when they inserted the PVC sleeve through the old line. We contacted Rooterman immediately they sent out the supervisor who was on our job. He confirmed that was indeed what happened and it was their fault. However, he said that we should have called them when the back-up happened at our neighbours house. I told him "how would we know that the houses are connected together that's your job to know." He said they did know that houses in the neighbourhood are like that, but we should have called them anyway. With our lawn open again we discovered that the clean out line had been installed incorrectly by Rooterman. We insisted it be done correctly. They assured us they would, but they were not happy about this as they spoke with us in a short and irritated manner in person and on the phone. By this point my neighbours must get their work finished as they haven't had a sewage line for close to a week. Their supplier finishes the work and Rooterman's owner Barry says he will speak with the other company owner and my neighbours to work out a deal to cover this botched job. Barry does not strike a deal with the other company and offers my neighbours a rediculously low amount in compensation. My neighbours show a williness to be flexible, but Barry chooses not to be and barely raises his offer. Our neighbours have been forced to take legal action against Rooterman and probably us. Meanwhile, our basement has never leaked no matter how hard it as rained in the 7 years we have owned the house. The first big rain after our work was completed water begins pouring in from around the concrete patches Rooterman put in when they did our work. I have the video and will post this as well. We call Rooterman and they assure us this will not happen again and to call them if it does. Meanwhile, we've been waiting to have our clean out line attached in the same place it was originally. Finally after constantly calling and emailing Rooterman to finsh the job they send someone. They dig then fill the hole back in again saying there is loose earth and lots of ground water underneath our porch that needs to be filled in. So we wait to have them come back to finish the work. My wife continues to try to get Rooterman to finish their work, but they have not sent anyone in the last month+ even though they promise to on the phone. I am deeply dissapointed in the lack of responsibility Rooterman has shown in this fiasco. I own a business myself and I would never allow a client to be treated the way we have EVER! I would be ashamed to conduct business the way Barry and Rooterman have. DO NOT USE ROOTERMAN!

We have been dealing with Rooter-Man for a couple of jobs at our different locations. We get the same technician all the time (which i am very pleased with) Patrick. The service is always prompt and professional. Keep it up

I chose this company for three reasons: 1) the price they quoted; 2) the explanation they provided me of what was needed; and 3) the reviews for installation of backflow valves on Homestars was generally highly rated. Mike and team came to the house to excavate within days of agreeing to the work. The inspector came the next morning and I received the paperwork for the rebate the next business day. One thing of note was that Mike was always available to answer my questions throughout the process. Overall excellent experience.
