Called Mr. Rooter a little after 8 AM after seeing the van on the freeway. Was able to get an immediate appointment at 9:30 AM that same morning. Had been having issues with my garbage disposal and Jose came in and quickly fixed the …

Water heater went out last night (Sunday, of course). The late night plumber was already booked so he said he'd have the office call me in the morning, which they did. They were there by 10am (Jose and a helper) and quickly suggested that …

I have been a Mr. Rooter fan/customer for over 10 years and have been extremely happy with them! I can't believe I've never Yelped them before – I thought i had! They are a franchise, but the one in Berkeley on University is really more …

Well, ditto on the thumbs up for Ben. Of course these things only happen on a Saturday night: you pull the plug in the upstairs bathtub and the next thing you know there's poo coming up from the downstairs toilet and tub like Old Faithful.

…

I called about 2:30P and Jose called back within 5 minutes. He explained that he was on another job, but would call after completing the other job. He did so promptly and told me when he would arrive and he was on time. He went over the …

It amazes me to see people whining about prices. If you are price sensitive, it's your right to shop around. It doesn't seem fair to slam a business just because you think they are expensive. If you only want to save money, take the time to…

When our water heater suddenly failed Steve Ferguson and his son came out on short notice and helped get us set up with a new water heater quickly and without any problems.

We called Mr. Rooter to unclog an upstairs bathroom drain (tub, sink, toilet) line on a holiday. The service plumber arrived on time and inspected the situation. He was very careful to use shoe covers while inside the house. Our main sewer …

Spencer was great. Super professional, took care of a number of small plumbing issues all at once — leaking tub and sink, replacing broken faucets, unclogging drains. Work was done fast and he cleaned up afterward, left our bathroom cleaner than when he arrived. Thanks for a great job!

After an inspection of our drain clog, the service plumber, Lance, recommend several options and cost estimates. We decided to remove a previously installed drain clean out and install another that would allow access both up and down the …
