Dillon and Garrett were amazing! We had a huge unexpected project right after buying a house. They were so nice, understanding, friendly and helped explain everything to us! They came out on Black Friday to give us an estimate and by Monday they were working. They came back for 3 days until it got fixed. The dispatcher was also super friendly and helpful! It was a great experience for what we were going through. I will definitely call them the next time we need someone! I would recommend them in a heartbeat! -

A few things went wrong so it took a couple extra days than planned but they (Especially Dillon) were super informative about everything and beyond nice! They made sure we wouldnt have to go without water overnight and were here 1st thing in the morning to get back to work!! I definitely recommend these guys over every other place!! -

Great quick service. Had a clogged drain that nothing touched. Submitted a request at 12:30am and was called at 8am by the dispatcher. Service team showed up. Right at 12:30. Explained the steps I had taken that failed and was explained the steps they would try to free the clog. Went ahead with the service and in 10 min it was done and cleaning up. Great job goes to Dominic, keep up the great work. -

David and Dillan were very professional and helpful. They did an amazing job and explained everything to me and showed me what was going on. They were pro active letting me know of any issues I could possible encounter in the future! I loved there sense of humor and how friendly they were. They definitely made a bad situation more bearable! I would recommend the two of them to anyone for their plumbing needs and I would definitely ask for them in the future. Thanks again guys. Everything is working great!! -

David from the Clay ave. office in Grand Rapids showed up to snake our bath tub drain. when I called they said it would be between 1pm and 4pm, then I got a call that said they had a technician available and David showed up at 11:50am and 20 minutes my bath tub drain is as good as new and David explained everything and also told me how far down it was...over 20 feet. he cleaned up and was super nice. Would definitely recomend Roto Rooter. -

Damien was very kind and knowledgeable. He gave us several options on how to handle our drain back-up issues. We are very appreciative of his expertise! -

We were able to schedule a service, meet with our plumber and have our backed up pipe fixed all in one day. Great choice for someone who doesnt have time to call around or wait days for service. -

Roto-Rooter Plumbing sent me the most amazing and polite professional today to save me from a totally stopped up bathroom sink. His name is Dominic and he worked very hard and was successful in clearing the blockage. It was not an easy task!! Many thanks to this nice gentleman for helping me today!!! Thank you, Dominic!! -

Review 14 (2023-02-23 - Rating: 5)
So thankful! My bathroom sink wasnt draining, and my own attempts to clear the clog failed. I called Roto-Rooter and they got a qualified professional to me in LESS THAN 24 HOURS- and it wasnt even a bad or dangerous leak, just a minor inconvenience that they took seriously.Everyone, and I mean everyone, I interacted with was kind, professional, and knew what they were doing. Jenny got my concern out to George right away, and he called me back to set up a technician appointment not even 20 minutes later. At the appointment, Jason called ahead to share his ETA, was here promptly, and was finished in a full hour less than the planned time frame because he was so knowledgeable and proficient. He was even happy to let my dog be his helper. Jason had all the necessary tools on hand and examined the drain lines in my basement just to be sure he took the right care with my 100+ year old house. After the fix was completed, he left me with some remedies to help keep my drains clear, and a 30 day window to call back in case something goes awry in the meantime -- really dont see that happening with how thorough the job was completed, but very good to know!I know if anything like this arises again, Rotor-Rooter Plumbing will be my first and only call. -

Its an absolute pleasure to leave a great review for Jason from Roto-Rooter. I called this morning and he came out promptly today to diagnose a water leak and drain back-up in my basement, which happened only a week after moving into my new home. He was professional and courteous. He cared not only about the job, but also took extra steps to make sure my floors stayed clean during his entire time in my home and arguably left my bathroom floor in a better condition than it was when he arrived. He thoroughly educated me on the plumbing issues I had and didnt seem at all bothered by my many questions. I felt he was truly honest and totally trustworthy. The total price I paid today was very reasonable for the work he did. Although I hope I never do, if I ever have another plumbing issue, I wont hesitate to specifically request his help again. -

Quick turnaround with scheduling on straight-time with Customer Service. Technician diagnosed drain issue promptly and developed a solution for clearing of roots within drain line. Technician provided detailed explanation of solution. Technician acted professionally and treated my home with respect while on site for service. Pricing and payment options were clearly discussed prior to any work being performed.I would absolutely recommend this company for your emergency needs -

Highly recommend Roto-Rooted. Not only did a technician arrive within 2 hours of my call, he provided an upfront and honest assessment. Had the sewer line Jetted and everything draining perfect within 4 hours of my initial call. Both employees were profession and we had very little post-service clean up. GREAT SERVICE! -

Had a clogged drain on a Sunday night of a holiday weekend. Roto Rooter was able to send a technician out early Monday morning. Jason was very professional and kind. He helped move items that were blocking his work area and did not try to overcharge me by suggesting services that I did not need. He was quick, answered all my many questions, and cleaned the area before leaving. -

I have never used Roto-Router before, but had an emergency situation with the main drain line from the house to the city system. The technician, David Munoz was prompt in responding and did a great job. He even explained the process as he worked and was very personable and professional. -

The experience was great from start to finish. Tiffany in the office called at exactly 8 am like I was told she would, got me in the earliest time slot and scheduled. Shortly after, she connected with me again to let me know she could get me earlier, great! The technician, Greg, was very kind, prompt, and accommodating. He spoke to my home warranty several times as requested and was very helpful. Quick fix and cleaned up nicely. I would definitely utilize this company again (although I hope I dont have to :) ) -
Review 24 (2023-03-27 - Rating: 5)
Top to bottom, this company was incredible. We spoke with someone last night , Yani, who was on call for the weekend; he assessed our situation and talked us through options that might need to be explored so we had a price point going into the normal workday hours. When I called at 8am, Diana was absolutely incredible (listening to my sleep-deprived attempts to discuss the history of our home and our situation) while talking us through the next steps (being contacted by a dispatcher and having service between 2-4). Jordan called shortly before 2 and advised he could have someone here within half an hour - down to the minute, Jason arrived and was an answer to prayer. As two new first-time-homeowners, we had no idea what to do about our basement taking on water; Jason explained everything as he was doing it and made sure we were aware of price points as we went along, and explained everything to us in a way we could understand. I told him before he left, he spoke like a dad; I felt comfortable with how he engaged with us and made sure we were informed every step of the way - and was honest about temporary fixes versus long term repairs we’d need to make down the road. I cannot express our gratitude for him and the company…we still have some clean up to do from the rain in the basement, but he cleaned our floor drain like a champ (literally snaking and pulling roots out of the ground)! Thank you Yani, Diana, Jordan and a Jason! We are so grateful! -Matt and Ashley Haan -

We were extremely pleased with our experience with Rotor-Rooter. Steve arrived on time with a very professional and friendly attitude. He did the necessary work in a timely manner and the price came in a little under his original quote. Very reasonable. We would definitely like to hire Steve (898) and Roto-Rooter for any plumbing issues in the future. -

My recent experience with Roto-Rooter was exceptional! Nate, Jason, and Jeff were amazing technicians!! They were the people I had the most contact with during my various service calls. They were thorough in their work, efficient, and they explained everything very well. Nate diagnosed the problem quickly; and addressed it quickly! Jeff followed up for further assessments over the next couple of days and did a great job. Everyone was very professional and personable. They were clearly experts in their jobs and provided me with the best service! I also felt that the cost was reasonable, and they were willing to work with me when we discovered that my insurance would not cover the cost of the repairs. I have already recommended Roto-Rooter to people I know; and, if I ever need services like this again, I will definitely contact them!! -
Review 27 (2024-03-28 - Rating: 5)
Will definitely use Roto-Rooter again. They came out same day within a couple hours. Fixed issue right away. Would highly recommend them -

Very pleased with our experience with Roto-Rooter. We contacted them through the website to schedule a new toilet install and received a return phone call from the office within an hour. Tiffany in the office was very professional, efficient and answered all our questions. On the day of service, Tate arrived promptly and was very professional and friendly. He was knowledgable and gave us confidence that he knew what he was doing. The entire install took him less than an hour, and he left the room cleaner than it was before. He took away our old toilet to be disposed of, as well as all the packaging from the new toilet. While the total price ended up being a little higher than we thought it would be, the service was excellent. We would definitely call Roto-Rooter again for future plumbing needs. -

I had a leaking water heater which was causing some issues for us. Our technician was polite, courteous, and extremely helpful in all questions. His work was top notch from what I can see and while this kind of thing is always more expensive than you plan on, we are very happy with the service provided. Thank you Roto-Rooter for coming to the rescue! -

Our service plumber did an outstanding job this morning. Right away he asked questions as to what the issue was and gained as much information before starting the job. He was very polite and professional at the same time. When he was finished not only did he take the time to show me the cause but provided tools and suggestions for preventative Maintenance. Thank you Roto Rooter. I will definitely recommend to friends and family. -

We had a big clog in both our main drain, as well as a floor drain. Our service tech, George, worked through all this and did an excellent job! I appreciated his professionalism and the advice he gave on how to keep the drain pipes clean. I would highly recommend this company!John DuimstraGrand Rapids, MI -

After using the garbage disposal, we discovered we created a clog further down the line which caused backups in multiple drains. We needed someone who could help fix the problem right away. Roto-Rooter had availability within just a couple hours. Justin and Brandon showed up on time and finished the job quickly. There was great communication about what they were doing and helped us understand why we were having the issue and what can to be done to prevent the issue long term. -

Weve used Roto-Rooter several times in the last year and have been very impressed each time. Every technician weve had out has been very helpful and courteous. I never felt pressured into servicing anything beyond what we called them for. They even came within hours the one time when we had another plumber mess up a job and leave us without a washer to use. We will continue to use them for any plumbing issues in the future and would highly recommend them to anyone else. -

Jason, our technician, was extremely professional and courteous. He took extra time to explain the cause of our drainage clog issue not to mention he solved the issue quickly. Oh, not to forget that he arrived prior to the scheduled time. Easily 5 stars -

I was really impressed on how quickly someone was able to come by to give a quote and then do the installation. I had a new fridge delivered on Thursday and called Roto-Rooter that night to see if I could set up a service to have a water line set up for the fridge. Levi, the plumber, was able to come by Friday evening to give a free quote and he was able to do the installation on Saturday. The plumber was very professional and did a great job. The water pressure is extremely good in comparison to the saddle valve we had set up with the old fridge. The shut off he put in is also a lot quicker and better then the one that our saddle valve had. I definitely know who Im calling the next time I need any form of plumbing done. -

Our kitchen sink wouldnt drain, and after trying everything we could, we called Roto-Rooter. They were able to send someone out the next day to look at our sink. The communication from their office was great, and they arrived at the beginning of the time frame, rather than at the end of the two hour window. They were able to work on the sink and get it draining. I do think their price for snaking the drain was high, but I was glad to get it taken care of ASAP. -

Last week we had water leaking through the basement ceiling so I called Roto-Rooter because of the positive reviews. Even before Matt-the plumber-was scheduled to come Leo-the supervisor-stopped by to assess the situation and came back again later to see how much needed to be done to dry things out.Matt came earlier than I expected and quickly figured out the problem and quoted a price. It took much longer than he expected because the very old pipes wouldnt come apart, they had to be cut out. I was very pleased that even with the extra effort it took the whole thing was done in 2 1/2 hours. I was pleasantly surprised that there was no extra charge for the extra time it took.Both Matt and Leo were very professional and polite. And I appreciate that they were friendly and gentle with my very pregnant dog.I would have written this review sooner but weve been very busy with 9 newborn puppies in the house !I will absolutely recommend Roto-Rooter and I will certainly call them again if I have a need for plumbing services. -

I called Roto Rooter this morning. They were able to send someone out right away. Brandon and his associate arrived as promised. They did a professional job in a timely manner. They cleaned up the areas where they worked. Brandon also contacted the City of GR as part of the problem was their clogged sewer lines. The City sent someone right away and they are still working on clearing their lines. All in all, a bad situation was soon resolved to my satisfaction. Thank you Roto Rooter and Brandon and associate -

Tate services our sewer line. From the start I’m impressed with his professionalism. He called to let me know when he was on the road and when I could expect him. He has great knowledge and provided me with many options for service.He was caring and thoughtful of our space, making sure that it was as clean as when he arrived. I will definitely recommend them in the future. -

The service was great. A technician showed up less than two hours after I called with a drain backup. The technician was very pleasant and explained everything very well. He had to dig to get to the tank cover and although it was very hot he completed the job in a very timely matter. I would definitely call Roto-Rooter again. -

Before he left he asked us if we had any questions!! If we have a problem again, we will definitely call Roto Rooter!!Thank you for the prompt service! Less than 4 hours after I first called and we were all taken care of! Even though he was soaking wet when he got done, he had a big smile!! Jan Winchel and Cheryl Miller -

I live outside of Grand Rapids and we had an issue with a leak in our PVC in the basement. Called Roto-Rooter, who were recommended by a family member, and a plumber named Dennis came out the same day. He was extremely friendly and professional, looked at the issue and immediately provided the most cost effective and efficient solution. The entire visit took less than 30 minutes and I was very pleased with the service.Thank you!Dan -

I called on a Sunday, thinking that Id be able to make an appointment for a future date. We didnt have an emergency-- just a problem that would need to be addressed in the near future. The lady on the phone paged the person on call anyway (just to be sure) and had him discuss with us. He agreed that we could wait on it until the week day so that we didnt get charged the off hours/emergency/weekend rate. The very next day at 8AM on-the-dot I received a call to schedule an appointment for the SAME DAY! I scheduled for 2PM to 4PM, and the technician showed up at 2PM. He was very helpful. Really happy with how quick the turnaround was! -

Thank you Roto-Rooter and most importantly Steve and Greg for all your hard work! -

I live on a very tree lined street and have had continual problems with water backing up due to clogged drains over the year. I had the water jet in May 2018 and was put on a list for followup to make sure the drains are staying open. I received a call for a followup on my drains--did I want to have someone come and check -- I said YES. The initial service was performed by a great tech who explained what was being done and showed me the pictures of the before and after. Casey was the tech on this visit and provided excellent service. He showed me what he was doing and what he suggested needed to be completed. This is money well spent to keep water flowing . I suggest this to many neighbors to help avoid any unfortunate backups. Thank you Rotor Rooter -

Steve and Justin did excellent work. They worked together to problem solve. They looked at different options, called other colleagues to figure out how to fix our problem. They took the time to show us what was wrong, what our options are and cost estimates. They explained the problem in a way I could understand. Steve made sure the excavator was clear on the situation and made sure he was available. I called Rocko and got an appointment promptly with the excavator. I am very happy with this process so far. Justin and Steve are excellent at what they do. -

I have used them twice in the last year. This review is for Brandon. He cleared my blocked drain pretty quickly but kept going to make sure my 100 year old drains were clear all the way to the main. He was really good at explaining what he was doing and potential issues I might have going forward. He seemed knowledgeable and thorough. I would definitely use Brandon again -

The gentleman who answered the service call was very pleasant and professional. He called ahead of arriving and was on time.

My wife Amanda called the Roto-Rooter of Kentwood, MI. We had a garbage disposal that was leaking along with a pipe. An appointment was made for the next day and we couldnt be happier. Dennis and Nate came out, addressed the issue, pointed out some problems we hadnt even noticed. They gave us a great rate, completed the job in a timely fashion, and they were incredibly diligent and helpful. They take great pride in their job as evident from the new faucets/baskets we had installed....they even made sure the names on the baskets faced the same direction. They definitely pay attention to detail and care about the customer. Highly recommend!! -

I called Roto-Rooter because I suspected the funny noise my kitchen drain was making was the warning sign of a clogged drain. Even though it was not yet an emergency like the last time they came to my rescue, someone was here in less than an hour. Upon inspection my suspicion was confirmed. My kitchen drain was cleared and I avoided the inconvenience of standing water in my kitchen sink. Thank you, Roto-Rooter. -

Dennis came in and gave me a quote to fix our clogged sewer drain on the same day I called. He got the job done quickly and within 20 minutes my drains were back to optimal flow with no more backups. A little bit pricey but the convenience of their same day service made it well worth it. Thanks! -

We needed our vacuum breaker on our sprinkler system replaced, and Steve (898) went above and beyond for us. He worked in the heat, doing what needed to be done. When the job was complete, he went the extra mile and walked us through where our shutoff valves were, as we just purchased the home two weeks ago. Roto Rooter came as a personal recommendation to us, and we will be recommending them in the future. -

Our house is 15 yrs old. Our kitchen drain was plugged for only the second time over those 15 years. I called Roto-Rooter GR both times. George, the technician, came both times. He provided great service with a smile. Also, I was impressed with how quick they were willing to respond. They first said George would be here within 30 minutes. That was too quick, so they were willing to come at any time we asked. We requested a specific time and they came then. Great, great service. Thanks. -

I was very impressed with their ability to work around my work schedule. Dennis replaced all the water lines in my home and was so knowledgable and informative. He took time to show me different issues that I was not aware was a problem. He was extremely great with my dogs and I was pleased with the amount of time it took to complete the repairs. Overall, I will definitely not go with any other company for my plumbing problems!! I highly recommend the qualified staff to solve any plumbing problems you encounter. -

Found myself with a huge problem, that being well you know,... stuff backing up in the basement. Got online and made an appointment for today 3/6/2013. George, the technician called prior to showing up at the door, arrived promptly on time and ready to tackle the problem. He sent the video camera down quickly finding the blockage 130 feet out into the front yard. He explained the tools he had, the limits of them and all options in detail that he had at his disposal of fixing the problem which allowed me to make the best choice of how I wanted him to proceed. With his suggestion for what to try, and within a few minutes time the blockage was well on its way to the treatment facility! George also took the time to reinspect the pipe and locating it out in the yard so that I knew where the blockage was located and he measured the depth. It was found to have a dip in the pipe which will with no doubt cause another blockage at some point in the future no thanks to the high efficiency toilets that havent enough water volume to push things along. Knowing this he made suggestions as to what could be done to help prevent any further issues other than spending $10,000 in excavating to level out the dip that is likely nothing more than a result of 25 years of dirt settling. So in the end I highly recommend Roto-Rooter Plumbing and Drain services of grand Rapids, MI. for excellent service and thanks to George (the technician or plumber) for taking the time to explain in detail all available options available to solve the issue. These guys rock! Will definitely call them again when needed in the future!-Ken -

These Guys were great. Very professional. Fast response. When you are having a sewer back up and it is coming out all over you basement, yuck!They came fast, were very thoughtful and kind. My wife and I were freaking out at the smell and mess. It was a Sunday of course and we were really worried about not being able to get help.They arrived and within a hour we were back in shape. They even sent a camera down the sewer line and we could see that the line after 50 years was in great shape. Best money I ever spent. No only was the problem fixed but I now know that my sewer line in not ready to fail or collapse.I know a lot of folks who have had their main line collapse, crack or break and it coat them, thousands of dollars to have the yard tore up and the pipe replaced all the way to the road and no the city is not responsible to replace that pipe. Now I do not have to worry.I would highly recommend to anyone. Great job Roto-Rooter. -

My single handle shower faucet was coming away from the tile wall and I knew I needed to get this taken care of. Chris came out first thing Monday morning and gave me an estimate and told me what the best way to take care of the problem would be. He came back the next morning with everything needed for the job. He was on time and he took less time to finish than he had quoted. I needed an access panel put in behind the shower wall and he told me an access door would run about $30 from Lowes. He threw it in at no charge. He did an amazing job! Im talking he soddered new copper fittings and he used fresh caulk as an extra sealant. He also made sure to bracket and screw in the new fixtures The new shower fixtures look great and are tightly sealed. Theyll last at least 20 years. He even fixed my loose sink water faucet handle for free. He also noticed a sewage drain cap in my driveway that had sunk in and could have caused major issues in the future. He replaced it for free as well. He answered all my questions and concerns. I would normally be upset at spending money on a home repair item like this, but I actually feel really good about it. I definitely feel like Chris cared and he took care of all issues I needed. I would highly recommend him and Roto-Rooter to anyone if they want a job done right. -

Lowell, MiThis is the absolute BEST service I could have ever asked for!The gentleman that performed the service was named Nate. He removed his shoes, made absolutely sure that he did not make a mess, and was extremely sympathetic to our dilemma. He used his best judgement from the start in order to save us money. He used the camera in our lines and discovered a break in the main line going from our house to the city sewer line.He suggested that we have the city stop by to assess the situation. The city officials arrived and we discovered that we were responsible for a possible $4000 repair beneath the road in front of my new home (weve lived here 5 days). Nate stuck around the entire time to make sure things went smoothly. Nate is a great asset to your business!Nate - if it were anyone else here helping me, I would have probably had a break down. Thank you for your time, knowledge, and compassion!If I require this type of service in the future, I will request you by name.THANK YOU! -

I would definitely recommend Roto Rooter to anyone, and it was the right choice for me! -

The first thing I really liked about Roto Rooter is that they offered late night appointments (without an extra charge before 9pm). An evening appointment prevented me from having to miss work to have our kitchen faucet replaced and the leak from under the kitchen sink fixed. Matt was on time and even a little early for our appointment. When he got to our home, we went to the basement to find the main water shut off and he noticed some issues with the way our water heater was installed and piping used that could cause a serious hazard. He did a great job installing the kitchen faucet even after running into some bumps with additional poorly installed hookups under the sink. Matt was also pleasant to speak with and willing to explain anything we didnt understand. It was an added plus that he wasnt bothered by our overly friendly cat that insisted on being under the sink with him at several points while he was working. Before he left, he explained what would be needed to properly redo the hookups for our water heater and provided a quote for parts and labor. Well definitely be using Roto Rooter again. -

I came home from work to a complete disaster scene caused by a broken supply valve under my master bathroom sink upstairs. My main floor ceiling was raining with water, and I’d soon discover that my basement ceiling was doing the same. The Roto-Rooter plumbing team arrived at my home with emergency response in less than a half-hour from the time of my phone call.

I started my New Year off with a flooded basement... which is not awesome. What is awesome is how great of service I got from Josh, Rob, and Kevin! Of course the problem occurred late at night during the holidays so I was panicking at the thought of having to wait until Monday to get help. However the guys at Roto-Rooter made time and worked until 1:00 am to diagnosis the problem. Rob showed up first thing the following day to walk me through the what is wrong, make sure I understood, and let me see it with my own eyes via his pipe camera thing. Getting that kind of explanation and video proof made me much more at ease with what had to be done next... Which was get to the pipes underneath my house that had de-laminated. Once again, the next day Josh and a co-worker showed, got to work, let me visit and see the damaged pipe once it was out, put everything back together, cleaned up the mess, and left me with plumbing that no longer flooded my basement. As much as flooding your house is a bummer, the guys at the Grand Rapids Roto-Rooter did great job and made the entire process as pleasant as possible. Great people! -

Somehow those household disasters always seem to happen around holidays - this time it was right before Thanksgiving and I had water all over the basement floor, clearly a problem with the main drain. So I called Roto-Rooter. Ive used them in the past and never have been disappointed - I can always count on polite, prompt, wonderful service. In this case, service tech Nate came right on time, quickly and efficiently fixed the problem, answered all my questions, and was friendly and courteous. Hes the best and so is Roto-Rooter. To anyone reading this review, if you live in Grand Rapids, Michigan and you havent used Roto-Rooter before, you can just call them at 452-7023 and be assured they will do great work, on time, every time. Thanks, Nate & Roto-Rooter! (inv 94796) -

Nate was extremely professional and courteous. He arrived on time and called when he was on his way to the house. He educated me on what to do to maintain what he had done for us. I would recommend them to anyone. Great prices, honest and trustworthy! -

The service person quickly diagnosed the problem for our plugged sewage pipe. He removed the blockage quickly . He carefully explained what caused the blockage. He showed me where it was. He offered solutions for avoiding a repeat of the problem. And gave steps for how to remove blockage if it occurs again. -

Had two really great techs come in and clean out a massive clog in my drain lines. The two techs showed up on time, worked hard, and got the clogged cleared and the drains working properly. Definitely give these guys a call if you need any plumbing service! -

Had a major blockage from tree roots in the main pipe from the house to the street. Did not discover the problem until late in the day, called and talked to a very helpful person that was able to find a person to come out right away despite the fact it was after hours. The gentleman was very courteous and got to work right away clearing the blockage in a short time. He was also able to get me an estimate with options to repair the problem to reduce the possibility of the tree roots from getting in the pipe again. -

I recently had my main sewer pipe clogged and water was backing up through the basement floor drain, I tried cabling it with a 100 foot rental snake from Home Depot and got a majority of roots removed and it seemed to fix it until 2 days later it backed up again. I worked with Roto Rooter for 2 days on my clogged/backed up sewer main, my residence is unique in that the sewer main was around 150 foot to the main city sewer. Jetting was first attempted by Roto Rooter because I recently used the 100 foot snake and some obstructions were removed with the jetting but others still remained and possible pipe breakage was in sight as dirt was backing up into the basement floor. The next day the owner of Roto Rooter inspected the sewer and we discussed our options, they used 200 feet of snake cable and they successfully removed all roots and or obstructions. Pricing was fair for the amount of work they invested into this extensive project . All staff members were honest up front and prepared me for the worst case scenario when the jetting to not initially fix the issue. Roto Rooter worked tirelessly to get the job done amidst doubt and fear that the roots or possible pipe breakage were preventing them from clearing the obstructions. In the end Roto Rooter did a great job by using a 1/2 blade, professional, hard working, I would definitely call them back for future service. I am looking at Roto Rooter possibly installing a fiber glass liner on the existing clay pipe to prevent repeat root issues. -

This company went above and beyond to meet our needs. After calling to schedule during after-hours, they came first thing the next morning. Our technician was respectful of our home and gave us tips to prevent these issues from happening in the future. We couldnt be happier with the service that we received and would recommend them to anyone. -

I called Roto-Rooter (32 Jonquil Street, SW Grand Rapids) this morning with a drain issue. They arrived in the promised time frame and began to trouble shoot our issue. When challenges arose, the service representative tried a number of things, finally resolving our issue. He was professional and did a great job! I would call Roto-Rooter again. This is our second experience with this company and I continue to be impressed. They even gave us a free bottle of Roto-Rooter Pipe Shield (Preventative Maintenance Treatement) for free. -

Yanni unclogged a drain for us after a competing company had tried a few days earlier but had only made the blockage worse. Yanni was polite and professional, and he wore his mask the whole time he was here. He explained everything he was doing, and finished the job in an hour. If we need this type of service in the future, we will call Roto-Rooter and will specifically ask for Yanni! -

I have used Roto-Rooter many times in the past. A clogged branch line from the kitchen sink to the main this particular time. For some reason, these plumbing issues like to occur around 5pm on Friday afternoons or over the weekend. I have always received prompt and professional service from the dispatch service and the technicians no matter when I call. I remain a highly satisfied customer and will continue reaching out to Roto-Rooter whenever I have plumbing problems that I am unable to resolve myself. -

Quick, affordable and quality work. The only reason I marked a 4 is because there seemed to be a lack of communication between different workers so it took them a few different attempts to make it to the house with proper parts. Matt did a great job though and only fixed necessary pipes. -

My name is Joanne Van Dyken fron Jenison, MI (my granddaughter is writing this for me).I called Roto Rooter yesterday, Tuesday, October 7. We were having a problem with our kitchen drain, and also needed a new sump pump. Within 30 minutes, Jason arrived. He had called first to tell me when he would be coming. He was very polite and considerate. He went about his work with efficiency. We are so pleased with the results. We have used Roto Rooter in the past and will certainly do so in the future. -

What a relief! We had water coming out of our basement floors and then we discovered that our sump pump was not working. We called Roto-rooter and within an hour, Josh was here unpacking his tools. 20 minutes later, we had a new pump and the water was already going down. Not only was he quick and knowledgable, he was friendly and even took the time to give our dog a few belly rubs. Calling Roto-Rooter was the dest decision we could have made. Thank you so much!!!! -

We had a severely neglected drain from the previous owners of our house, and the plumber that came out was on time, friendly, and even found that along with the main out pipes being over run with roots, it was also broken in the street. The city of Grand Rapids had to pick up the tab for the broken bit in the street, but the plumber stuck around to help us if the city asked us any questions. Thank you for such great service! -

I was extremely impressed with Nates knowledge and hard working attitude during a recent service call. On a Saturday afternoon he showed up ready to do whatever it took to free up the clogged drain that was causing some nasty back up in the basement. I would hire Roto-Rooter again and will request Nate to get the job done. -
