My tenants in Palmdale had both toilets and both showers clogged up. Looked in Yelp and I found Chris with 5 stars. I called the phone number and Chris answered my phone call at 10:30pm! I was ready to leave a message in an answering machine, but I got a real person on the other side. He was able to solve my problem the next day. He was very honest with the explanation he gave me and I am going to follow his advice to clean the drain every 4-6 months to remove roots from a tree and avoid this problem to happen again. read more

Quality work . Quick response time. Problem was fixed fast and explained thoroughly. He was very knowledgeable Price was very reasonable! read more

Excellent service! Got here within an hour of being called. Snaked out 2 drain lines. The house was built in 1965 and Chris knew what to do about getting the snake around a very sharp bend without damaging a thing. He was very tenacious and wouldn't give up til he eliminated the clogs in both lines. Very fair pricing. Honest and professional service. Drains work better than new! Thanks, Chris! read more

I've used Chris from Riteway Rooter (Antelope Valley area) for at least a decade now on rooter and plumbing services. He's always been exemplary -- especially when it comes to reliability, honesty, courtesy and fair pricing. Having a rental that's 60 miles away from my home, I also rely on Chris for referrals to other tradesmen, such as: HVAC, Appliance Repair, Electrical, Roofing, and Handyman services. Highly recommended!!! read more

They have always been on top of things. I had many rentals and I always called him first to get drains cleared or faucets replaced and other plumbing needs. He's fast and affordable read more

I had a problem with a tenant's toilet all the way out in North Edwards, CA. Even though it ended up outside the service area, I really appreciated the time on the phone and the suggestions to help get it clear. It was much more than any of the other 12 plumbers I called that day gave me. This seems like a fair man, who did give me up front pricing for the different services. I can see why he got 5 stars from his other reviews. I wish he would drive out that far ... read more

A midnight bath turned into trouble when my tub wouldn't drain. I knew I was in trouble. To add to that I was experiencing first signs of food poisoning so I needed working plumbing ASAP. I'm new to the area. I didn't really know anyone so I went on yelp. I contacted just about all plumbers in my area that had a "fast response time" and were "24hrs" but only one responded promptly, Riteway Rooter. Chris gave me a reasonable quote in a fast time for 1 in the morning and was fast. He apparently lived up the street! We were all so tired but he did an amazing job half awake haha. He even gave us advice on how to avoid root blockage in the future. All in all he was great and we will continue business for any plumbing needs. read more

We had a clogged kitchen sink on Sunday morning and Chris came to our rescue in less than 30 minutes. He snaked the drain from the outside access and our drain was clear within an hour of calling him. Besides being quick and professional, he charged a lot less Roto-Rooter. He's in Lancaster, so I preferred to hire a local self-owned business over the national chain. Chris depends on word-of-mouth advertising and earned an excellent recommendation because does a great quick job at a reasonable price. I highly recommend Riteway Rooter. Mike Urban read more

Saved the day & thank you :-) so it's Sunday morning after the 4th of July & I was worried I wouldn't find some help. I was having troubles with my water heater & the pilot light + I had a leaky faucet I also wanted fixed. Chris answered the call like 8am, took some part info down & was over to my home like in 15mins. He is very knowledgeable & also gave future/preventative advice. He guarantees his work & fixed my leaky faucet + got my pilot light to turn on. I'm very happy & grateful :-) I saved his # & there's no reason to call elsewhere. Thanks again & job well done. read more

Amazing service on a holiday. Chris did not charge us extra for coming on Memorial Day weekend. He was polite, clean and fast to fix our clogged drain, he also fixed a drip and gave some crucial advice for our septic system maintenance. Save time and money and call Chris first! read more

Chris was amazing! He snaked my main sewage line with short notice, on a Sunday, and at a price no one could beat! He's polite, explains the processes and made a bad situation better. He was easy to communicate with and super responsive. I just found myself a new plumber!!! Thank you Chris!!! read more

I am a landlord but do not live in the area. Sat night my tenant called stating The drain lines in the house were backing up. I called my handyman who went out there Sunday but was not able to clear the line. I immediately started contacting plumbers on yelp and called 3-no answer. My fourth call was to Chris at Rightway Rooter. Chris quoted me a price that was reasonable especially considering it was Sunday. When I gave him the address it turns out he was nearby and was literally at my house within 30 minutes. He was able to clear line without much effort and even made some other recommendations on some maintenance issues that needed attention. Being a landlord out in the area I can tell you that one of the most difficult things to find is a reasonably priced and reliable plumber. Thank you Chris for jumping on this so fast. I will definitely be using you again and referring you to my friends. read more

Independent, works alone, 25+ years family and friends all use him. Has NVR let us down. guaranteed work. I've been using him for 20 years and my property manager is now using him. Polite, and very personable. Price has always been the best, we never use anyone else read more

I called Chris on a referral from a neighbor! My garbage disposal was leaking water and, I needed it fixed, Chris said he could be here in an hour and true to his word he was! Very polite and friendly and while he was working he didn't mind me sitting and watching, he even explained how things work! Guaranteed his work and the call didn't cost me a fortune! Thanks Chris, i appreciate you coming on such short notice! read more

Forth of July and my toilets and showers are completely clogged, who could I call? Who would possible be working on July 4th? Then, I Yelped and called Riteway Rooter. Thought I could leave a message and perhaps have an appointment scheduled for the following day. Surprisingly, Chris answered the phone and said could be at my house within an hour. As promised, he showed up fast and unclogged the main line in less than 20 minutes. A job well done, quickly, at a reasonabl rate with no extra holiday charges, and by a true professional who was pleasant and courteous. read more

Awesome job! Made a last minute call on a Sunday due to toilet and shower being clogged and Chris came out within a few hours. Can't beat his price. I've found a new plumber! Very polite and professional. read more

I needed to replace a pipe connecting the outdoor hose. Chris had a gently used pipe of the correct size in his truck so he didn't even charge for parts. He also checked and tightened some adjacent plumbing that I hadn't even asked about. Good price, good work, good guy. read more

Riteway Rooter is hands-down the way to go for ALL of your plumbing needs. We recently moved into our house in West Palmdale and ---- uh,oh ---- the kitchen sink was backing up. I tried all I could to fix it myself. Nope, not a chance --- I couldn't do it. I removed the goosenecks... tried my hand at snaking it... I even tried flushing out the blockage with a hose... NO LUCK! I was out later that day and was telling a friend about the problem and told him that I think it might be the main line (perhaps roots have gotten into the pipes). Chris from Riteway happened to be there and overheard my conversation... he asked me a couple of questions and said with confidence "IT'S NOT YOUR MAIN LINE" ... I said "Are you sure?"... He then said with an assured grin "I've been doing plumbing since I was 17. I'll come over and unclog your drain... if I am not successful you pay me NOTHING." I couldn't believe it... he handed me his business card and said for me to call him if I wanted to have him come to the house. What are the odds of meeting THIS plumber when I was in NEED of a plumber?!?!?! The next day I looked him up online and saw his good reviews here on Yelp and so I decided to give him a try (although I was a little apprehensive as it seemed like one of those "Too good to be true" incidences of meeting Chris when I did). I called him in the morning and he fit me in his schedule for the afternoon. He came over - quickly assessed the situation... and like a boss he had the clogged kitchen drain fixed in about 15 minutes. He even told me how I was going in the wrong way with my snake (his snake was WAYYY more powerful by the way... his is the real deal) and showed me where the outlet cap for the kitchen sink was outside (which I totally missed). He also told me how he knew the culprit was grease and why he was sure of it. He then even took a few minutes afterward to look at a couple of other minor plumbing related issues we had in the house ... two of the other issues he fixed under a minute each! And one he told me that I can fix on my own without paying him to do it and even told me how to do it!!! Holy cow! Chris is an unbelievably GREAT PERSON and an EXPERT PLUMBER WHO FIXES THINGS QUICKLY AND WITH CONFIDENCE! Seriously, I cannot recommend anyone any higher than this. Don't waste your time looking for a plumber. Just call Chris at Riteway Rooter. Oh, and did I mention that his prices are VERY FAIR! I am extremely happy to say that Chris will be our "go to guy" for ALL future plumbing related issues in our home. read more
