As good as it gets. I sent a request via Yelp, got a message back quickly and very efficiently we were able to find time to fix my shower drain that was blocked. These guys are the real deal, on time, efficient and very reasonably priced. I'm saving this number for future plumbing issues that's for sure. It's difficult to find reliable plumber, but I've found the best reliable team. Thanks guys! read more

Mandel and his crew were amazing! They came and sealed our leak in a matter of moments. We're so lucky to have found him!

Excellent customer service, professionalism at all times. Knowledgeable about their business answered every question and show up on time Very efficient in completing job, pricing was reasonable, as a woman did not feel like I was overcharged or told more work needed to boost cost. Highly recommend read more

5 stars. Mandel and his team have saved us twice since moving into our new home. Honest, transparent, and timely. Thank you!

Outstanding! At about 7 AM on a Saturday morning, the owner of the business Mandel was one of the first people to respond asking me to call. He answered right away and was clear on pricing and what needed to be done. By 9 AM I had a plumber named Ronnie at the apartment who went straight to work, explaining everything. It was a deep clog and required removal of the toilet, which he replaced looking better than ever. Very responsive, nice and professional people. Highly recommend. read more

About an hour ago I got a call from my tenant that he was having plumbing issues he couldn't resolve. There was nothing in his toilet, but it stopped flushing and between our plunging and snaking, we could not get it to drain. I called Rapid Action Rooter, and I'm glad I did. Mandel came out and had it working again. He was quick, professional, and did it at a fair price. Especially because this happened in the evening. Highly recommended! read more

Mandel responded to my request so quickly when I dropped an earring down a bathroom drain. I reached out at 7a, he had Anthony come down by 10a and he was able to get everything done in 20 minutes. Super efficient and very reasonable pricing. Thank you! read more

Mandel partnered with me to help with an electric water replacement for a commercial cafe. It was over Thanksgiving day holiday and moved mountains to get a new one up and running in a few business days. When an issue came up in January he went above and beyond to help resolve the manufacturer issue. Will be using his services again! read more

Mandel and team were great in understanding the issue and scheduling the appointment. The technician arrived on time and rooted the kitchen sink in professional manner and ensured the work area was clean. Mandel came after and inspected the work, did some tweaking of the connections, and then did a camera scoping of the main sewer line. He advised of his findings and then provided estimates to address the overall issue. read more

I called Rapid Action Rooter to have my water heater replaced as it suddenly gave up. Mandel took my call right away and was able to have a crew out first thing in the morning. Mandel and his team are very knowledgeable and pointed out things that were done incorrectly by previous workers. While they were at my house, Mandel checked my sewer line and found that it was in really bad shape. Mandel was able to get another crew in the same day to fix it. I can't be anymore thankful for the work that Mandel and the crew completed and I nightly recommend them to anyone! read more

Mandel is exceptional in all respects - from the ridiculously fast response time to the above and beyond customer service and workmanship. I could not recommend this company more! Mandel will be our go-to from now on! :) read more

We had an issue with our toilet overflowing and the sewage leaking out of the ceiling. Mandel responded and came over within two hours and fixed the overflow and connected us with a vendor to help rectify the water damage. He was responsive and knowledgeable and we felt like we were taken care of in a high pressure situation. read more

Unprofessional, lousy attitude, rude. Firstly, they won't do anything unless you pay upfront. If that's your policy, that's perfectly fine, but communicate that beforehand. I'm a landlord, and my tenant had to pay to start the work because I was tied up. Secondly, Mandel refused to send me a paid receipt for the work. I kindly and patiently asked 3 times over two weeks...but to no avail. Talk about no business relationship skills. read more

-Had a clogged shower drain last night, tried to plunge it myself -Plunging it made it worse, waste started coming up from the drain -Slept on it because I had to take the kids to school the next morning -8:15 - Dropped off kids -8:25 - Called 2 different plumbers, none available same day -8:28 - Called Mandel at Rapid Action Rooter, said one of his guys is nearby and can now -8:49 - I get home -8:50 - Dwayne and Amani show up, I had barely got to my garage -8:55 - Dwayne analyzes the clog, asks some questions to determine the issue -9:00-9:20 - Dwayne snakes the drain, went 10 feet in, drain still not unclogging. Dwayne starts troubleshooting and has Amani run the water in different locations. Noticed the bathroom sink will cause the clogged drain to back up more. -9:20-9:35 - Dwayne rakes apart the sink drain, snakes it, and pulls out a thicc glob of hair. The shower drain unclogs. Boom. -9:35-9:45 - They pack up and leave. In and out in less than 1 hour. I also want to mention that while Dwayne was working through all the troubleshooting, he spent the time to explain the details of why the first snake attempt couldn't catch the glob of hair (the snake was most likely turning the corner in the wrong direction at the fork where it meets the sink). Incredibly nice guys, super easy to work with and showed up on a whim. Now I know who to turn to if I ever need another plumbing job in the future. Thank you Dwayne, Amani, and Mandel! read more

I have to pile on the praise for Rapid Action Rooter! Mandel was incredibly responsive, professional, and efficient. Dwayne M. came out and was not only very friendly, but he also replaced my faucet quickly and skillfully. Their card-magnet is now proudly on my fridge - definitely keeping it there for the next time I need them! read more

Had the best experience with Rapid Action Rooter. I reached out to them as a Hail Mary after other plumbers were unsuccessful at snaking our shower drain. Rapid Action Rooter had someone out to us in less than 2 hours and Mark was professional, and very skilled! He successfully cleared the clog and was a joy to work with. Thank you! read more

Mandel and Pat were fast, efficient, friendly, and super helpful. The quality of the work is fantastic. I'd be happy to recommend them to anyone I know, and we'll for sure have their number ready next time we need some work done. read more

Mandel was amazing and quick to respond to all of my concerns. He assured me of the work and when his associate Anthony arrived and everything was completed quickly and professionally. They even installed my new shower after fixing my leak! My wife and I will be calling Rapid Action Rooter again for all of our plumbing needs. 5 Stars! read more

Fast and did a great job, would recommend and will use for any further needs in the future!

Needed some work done on my natural gas connections outside my house. I reached out to 5 other companies but Mandel was by far the most responsive, and reasonable. He was very genuine and was able to schedule his team to come out the next morning. The team was on-time, extremely courteous, professional, and fast! Mandel has earned my business going forward on any of my plumbing needs. Don't call any other plumber, this is the right company! read more

So, I just had to fix the work that he performed about 5 years ago. I would not recommend this company. They over charge and the quality...well it needed re-done. If you need a good plumber, please consider Gap Plumbing (Wilson is busy, but does great work at a good price). Rapid Action Rooter, on the other hand, charges an exorbitant fee. (I take responsibility for not getting a second opinion, because he was very convincing and confident in his ability, and I was in a rush to fix the overflowing toilets). Rapid Action Rooter does have a great response time (better than most). My repair needed trench digging and pipes replaced. Unfortunately, Rapid Action Rooter used cheap rubber bands for connections, cut the connections too short, and didn't support the connections, which led to the leaking now. The repair even appeared to be placed backwards with connections and adaptions that created leaks later. read more

My water heater began leaking and needed an immediate replacement. It was a 10-year-old unit, so it had reached the end of its lifespan. I called Rapid Action Rooter at 7:30 am on a Wednesday, and Mandel answered right away. He provided a quote over the phone that matched my expectations. By 4 pm that same day, he sent someone out to replace my water heater, effectively saving the day. Highly recommend! read more

Mandel and Larron did an absolutely GREAT high-quality job on unclogging a pipe for me today!! They even went "above and beyond" and for no extra cost put a camera down the pipe to show me exactly what was going on and explaining what I needed to do so that the situation wouldn't keep happening again. 5 STARS all the way for Rapid Action Rooter - they're the BEST!! read more

Dwayne was great! Came out the same day, very responsive, polite and super helpful. Its an old toilet so he did the best he could but he took care of the issue quickly and efficiently. I really appreciate this 5 star service and will call Rapid Action/Dwayne again for any plumbing needs in the future. read more

I am a repeat customer and have referred Rapid Action Rooter on multiple occasions. They are always responsive, fair priced, and very professional. I returned from vacation to find my hot water heater gave up the ghost and flooded out basement. By the following morning Mandel had his team knock out the whole job. I have highly recommended them in the past and I do so again today! read more

I had an emergency water situation with a dishwasher leaking and Mandel was able to come to my place quickly and take care of the situation. He explained to me what was going on and what I needed to watch out for moving forward. Thankfully, the situation is completely resolved and he was a big help in that. If you want fast and good service, I recommend Rapid Action Rooter. read more

When I have plumbing questions or issues I always reach out to Mandel and Rapid Action Rooter first. Mandel always takes the time to explain everything and answer any questions you may have. Even when I haven't been able to use him he has been there willing to help out anyway he can. If you want a company run by someone who is not only great at what they do but also cares deeply about the people he works for and with Rapid Action Rooter is who you should call. When I was going through one of the most stressful times of my life and a pipe burst in my condo his company was the first to pick up as I frantically called around to find someone to help us. I am so happy I did. They repaired our pipe and started mitigation right away. Everything worked out and I sleep well at night knowing that our pipe was fixed by Rapid Action Rooters. Thank you Mandel and Rapid Action Rooter! read more

Excellent, excellent, excellent service!!! Highly recommended!!! I had a slow leak in my water line, found Rapid Action Rooter here on Yelp, called, and spoke with Mandel. We discussed the issue and he even asked me to take a picture of it, which impressed me, because it shows that he's thorough and wants to do as much diagnosis as possible. We made an appointment and the workers arrived on-time. They were courteous and professional but most of all, they had tarp and trash bags to keep my lawn clean. When they finished, they cleaned up so well, that you couldn't tell that they were even there! The price was also excellent! For the other plumbers I called, I overwhelmingly felt that they were price-gouging. But definitely not so with Rapid Action Rooter. I am a first-time customer but I have now found my plumber and there will definitely be repeat business. Thank you, Mandel! read more

Madel and his team were great. Called them out for a toilet overflow and as he is under the house checking pipes, we find that not only are my pipes rotted, they aren't connected properly in some areas and two had holes in them. I had been leaking water under my house for GOD knows how long. This could have been a very dangerous situation with the water rotting the foundation of my home. Mandel and his team came out and re-piped my house in one day. These guys were on it working from the time the arrived till they were done. Non stop. Everything was professional. They even hauled away all the biohazard material that came through the holes in my pipes. I know how people feel about plumbers, electricians etc..... but this team not only got the job done, the did it professionally, cleaned the entire area after, and showed me step by step all my issues and what they did to fix them. Don't waste your time, call Mandel for your plumbing needs and get it done once and get it done the right way. read more

Mandel coordinated everything with me and sent Pat out to fix my leaking water heater expansion tank. It fell from its support and was hanging and leaking. Pat offered to come first thing in the morning at 6am which worked best for me and he showed up right on time. He did everything I asked for by the book. Truly an expert and I now know what quality work looks like. No question, Rapid Action Rooter will be my first call for any plumbing issues. read more

I would leave ZERO stars if I could. Extremely unprofessional. We have a toilet that needed a replacement part and it took constant calling to get updates. He told me he ordered the part a week ago and it would take 5 days. Then he texted me a few days later saying "Hey, we're still waiting on your payment" and I said what do you mean? You never told me you were waiting on us then he said he sent that to the wrong person. WELL I texted 6 days after the part was ordered for an update and called - he said he'd get back to me. He didnt, so I called again two days later. He was beyond rude. Nasty to me when I asked for the tracking number and order date/order number. I was trying to help check the status and what do you know, it hadn't even shipped yet and he refused to show me the order info showing when he placed the order. Clearly you didn't order it when you said you did and are pissed at me?? Even if you did, why not let me order the part myself like I offered? He wouldn't even tell me the part number so I could order it myself or look into it. He just said "go find someone else". What a waste of time and $$$! DO NOT RECOMMEND. ALSO to employee, Patrick Jones, just know he shared your home address with me from your order screenshot (all I wanted was the order # or tracking which I got neither, just your address...). Like I said, unprofessional. read more

Mandel answered the phone right away and was very pleasant on the phone. He sent Dwayne over to unblock our kitchen sink. He came between the hours Mandel said he would, same day. Dwayne was very easy to get along with and did a thorough job. He gave me suggestions and a correct diagnosis. We are very pleased with their service. We will be using them in the future! read more

If I could give Mandel and his team a 10-star rating I would. First, when they say open 24/7, they're really open. During the tiny bit of rain we got on Saturday our mainline began backing up into the master bathroom. Mandel showed up on a Saturday evening - and not at a double or triple fee pricing! We have a very complicated sewer line so he ran his camera through all three areas and found the initial issue and immediately got the blockage cleared out, but he found a second more serious blockage all the way down to the city sewer line. He showed me the entire pipeline on his camera - not some crappy camera that you can't tell what the heck you're looking at, but crystal clear color. Our mainline was cracked in several places all the way to below the street and overtaken by roots. This was a very scary situation because if the pipe collapsed under the city street, we were gonna be in a heap of trouble and have to take out a second mortgage for that type of repair-no less than $40K when digging up a city street. He laid out the plan, walked me through every step: Dig up the section of the driveway where the trap was (four feet down), HydroJet out ALL of the roots, then sleeve the pipe all the way to the city mainline and replace the trap with a proper three-way trap. His crew showed up at 8AM sharp to begin work and didn't stop until the job was complete-including re-cementing the area they had to dig through. His team didn't finish until 7P. It was unbelievable that they finished this entire project in one day. Our next door neighbors had to go through the same process a month ago and that company was there for four days, and for the next two weeks I saw the company truck returning - so, obviously problems were still happening. Doing this type of major work never comes cheap, and as Mandel told me: "I'm not the cheapest, but I'm not the most expensive, we give a fair price and do the job better than any other company - and he was 100% correct. I will never hire another plumber and will recommend Mandel and his team to everyone I know. HIGHLY, highly recommend Rapid Action Rooter for your plumbing needs. read more

Mandel and his team are life savers. After dealing with another plumber and water restoration company who wanted to completely demo a perfectly good tile floor and encouraged me to go through insurance for a simple toilet leak, I called Rapid Action Rooter for an estimate. Mandel had consulted on a few jobs before. This time I called him and while his schedule was busy as usual I knew he was the best company for the job and asked if he could fit me in. He was patient in understanding the job, sent a team to assess the situation, provided an estimate and clearly explained the work that needed to be done. His team was efficient, on time and was able to replace the broken flange and corroded pipe from the crawl space so I didn't need to have the tile floor demo'd and replaced... saving me thousands. Rapid Acton Rooter will definitely be my first call moving forward. read more

Mandel and his team (Tony and Duane) were amazing. Not only did he quickly respond to our emergency plumbing needs, but his entire team was incredibly respectful and thorough in cleaning up after they finished the repairs. I highly recommend Rapid Action Rooter for any plumbing needs. read more

l had a sewer line problem resulting in loss of hot water in the kitchen, and clogged pipes, causing unsanitary conditions in my house. I called Rapid Action Rooter and received very fast service. To resolve the problem, it was necessary to dig up the old pipes and replace them with new and -in some cases -correct pipes. I expected this to be a prolonged period of time, but they finished one day! Mandel, Dwayne and the team that they have assembled, cover with expertise all facets of plumbing. They are professional- and Customer Service is extraordinary. read more

Mandel was super helpful as we tried to figure out a plumbing issue. I explained the issue over the phone and he recommended a fix that we could do without them coming. He said to try it, and if it didn't work we could give him a call back. We tried his tip and it worked - so we didn't end up needing them to come out. So this review is to highlight a business that went out of their way to be helpful! Thanks Mandel! read more

I called this morning and was told someone was available to fix my sink within two hours. Mr. Patrick called and stated he would arrive by 12:45p, which he did. It took less than an hour to fix my sink and assess another issue which he said he would follow up with me on. He was very kind and allowed space for my curiosity about the process of fixing my plumbing issues. I have absolutely saved the information for this business and will be using them again in the future. read more

Mandel sent Devron out to replace a kitchen sink faucet. He was early, professional, helpful, and did an incredible job! Thank you, Mandel and Devron!!!! read more
