My neighbor and I were out front discussing the trees we both have and decided it wouldn't be a bad…read moreidea to get somebody to run a camera through our drains to see what kind of root damage we may have. We hoped to get a slight discount if we could get them done at the same time, 2 jobs, no travel time, possibly 2 additional jobs in the future. My neighbor contacted Roto Rooter and found out that it would cost $350 just to run the camera for each of us (outrageous) but was told that that cost was only if that's the only thing we had done and if we got another procedure that cost would be taken out of that. We scheduled someone to come out and he agreed to $250 for each inspection. He ran the camera from my laundry room where the main clean out is easily accessible. Like I expected he did find roots in the line but not until the end where my line meets the cities connection. It was slowing the flow but wasn't backing it up completely. He appeared to try to push through the roots unsuccessfully. I was told that the only way to fix this problem would be to excavate and replace all the pipe involved and he gave me multiple reasons why no other procedure would work and told me they couldn't guarantee any other procedure. My neighbor's cleanout was even easier to access since his was outside near the sidewalk. Minimal roots were discovered in his line as he had his hydro-jetted a couple years ago. I paid $250 cash and opted to proceed by getting the lines hydro-jetted. I didn't receive a receipt and assumed that was because the job wasn't completed yet. Without an appointment set up yet the guy with the hydro-jet called and said he was available and I told him he could head my way. I was surprised to learn that the hydro-jet hose needed to be ran through the house, down the stairs into the basement and then into the laundry room. He took good care to protect property in the laundry room but nothing to protect the floor or carpet down the stairs from the dirty hose. (not too concerned about this as the carpet is old and the tile could be washed.) I told the tech I wanted him to do what he could do within an hour as I couldn't afford more than that. After some time spent on getting the remote control working (transferring it to another machine or something like that) He ran the hose into the line and I kept an eye on the floor drain in the service room. Once satisfied that the hose was far enough he turned on the water. I was surprised not to get any water coming up from the floor drain. The tech ran his camera into the line and discovered once he got to the point of the "root ball" it had been pushed through and upon pulling back the hydro-jet hose discovered it was into the cities line at least 20 feet. I think he pushed through the roots before ever turning on the water. He then spent the remaining time he had cleaning up the interior of the pipe. He wrote me up a receipt for $695 and I paid with a debit card. The $250 that I already paid completely slipped my mind at this point and I didn't realize I over paid until later that evening. When I realized they hadn't deducted the $250 that I already spent, I text messaged the camera tech and was then told that the $250 would only be deducted if I had excavation work done and not from the price of the hydro-jet procedure. The only reason I even agreed to getting the work done in the first place is because I was under the impression that the job would cost $650 not $945. A few years ago the hydro-jet service was only $450 and I thought THAT was too much. This job should have cost me $650 plus taxes, TOTAL. I have since learned that Roto-Rooter employees are paid commissions and their paychecks are directly affected by how much they can bilk a customer for and that tech would have absolutely had me take out a loan or get financing in order to pay for excavation work that did not need to be performed. Although I'm satisfied with the work, it was not $945 worth of work. In total they were here less than 2 hours. Even less time was spent at my next-door neighbor's house and he also paid $945. The job was straight forward with no unforeseen circumstances or problems; there wasn't any clean up afterwards and the neighbor's job was faster and easier than mine. Edit: The manager contacted me and apologized for the misunderstanding. He offered to give me the price of what I thought it was going to be before the job started. I appreciate that and accepted his offer. As long as a company does the right thing and attempts to make the customer happy I really can't complain but please keep in mind of what could possibly happen.

Ok, after I had blocked out the appropriate day & time for me to be home that entire afternoon base upon ALL their texting to confirm, yes needless to say I was very disappointed.

(The toilet has been having intermittent issues and needs replacement.) They immediately connected with me and offered to come out the same day (but I still had not gotten the new toilet.) We scheduled for the day after, and they were here by the promised time. The team quickly removed their shoes at the front door without being asked (not my general experience with many repair teams) and started working. They finished almost precisely at 90 minutes despite a minor complication. (The basement/toilet drain was not draining well which they augered out.) It was explained to me that it was likely a combination of time and a 20-year-old toilet (which did not generate enough force). Other than minimal dust and grime, they did not leave any bigger messes for me to clean up. They were professional, and their price was well aligned with other companies. They did not sell me on any additional service plans but did guarantee their service for a year. (There is a 4% for credit card transactions.)

So you cross you fingers and hope for the best. I got some advice from someone who I trusted to not steer me wrong, I needed to get a water softener, and I am glad for the advice I received.

After they left, I noticed my hot water wasn't running in once of the bathrooms, I called and they came right back. Turns out the pipe froze, they fixed it and did charge extra for coming back or an arm and a leg for fixing something they did not come to fix in the first place. I now have a plumber that I trust, call them first for all of your plumbing needs.
