I called them out to do a repair on the master bathroom toilet. It took them two days to figure out what was wrong when they did they had to redo some plumbing to the septic system in the process of doing that they removed an 1 1/2 line to my aerator system. This is a rental property, so I didn't notice that it was removed for several months. It took me over a week and a half of constantly leaving messages for their office manager Todd to actually return my phone calls. Now they are denying removing the piping for my aerator when it was clearly there and working before they came and installed the new plumbing. Between the poor customer service and a technician that is clearly lying I will never use them again Yes you sent two employees out after. One gave me another estimate and the second one which I was there with him agreed that the new piping they installed was right where the piping for the Aerator was. I'm guessing someone came in the back yard and removed it and also unplugged the aerator that's been installed for the past 7 years. read more

If you have a true emergency don't call this company. They never called me back or come out.

Who likes plumbing issues? I know I don't... LOL! Roto-Rooter has provided service for us numerous times - in both in an emergency & non-emergency situation. They've always fixed the problem and have always done it in a professional manner. I know nothing about plumbing, but when they explained to me about what needed to be fixed, I quickly understood what was going on. I know they are a nationwide chain, but that does not mean they don't care as much as their local competitors. The plumbers that helped us have always been super nice and attentive. I highly recommend them, if you have any issues next time. read more

Roto-Rooter - Plumbing Near Me - Baton Rouge, Louisiana

Scam. They don't tell you the "hourly" rate in advance. They stayed for 10 minutes and charged $225. At least give your customers a heads up on what to expect. Had I known, I would've had the technician check every bathroom in the house. read more

Wow. Water heater emergency ended up being a great experience. Darius and Jacob arrived on time, removed my old WH and replaced with new one in less than 2 hours. They were neat, clean and respectful of my property and cleaned up after the job was complete. And they smiled the whole time. Its nice to have a disaster turn into a good experience. Thanks Roto Rooter. PS I called or emailed 5 plumbers. Roto Rooter called back in a very short period and was out on my job with a hour! That's service! read more

The technician, Justin, did an outstanding job! Definitely recommend to anyone. I was very impressed by his service, also he was very knowledgeable and friendly. Thanks for your help Justin, I greatly appreciate it. read more

Would give 0 stars if I could. I requested service online for my gas fireplace/line, Roto rooter called me back and quoted me A THOUSAND US DOLLARS just to come out and inspect the line; Accutemp offered to do a diagnostic for $49. This is absolutely disgusting and whoever called me should be ashamed of themselves for price gouging. Do yourself a favor and don't even waste your time calling these people. Gross. read more

Greetings! I would like to acknowledge an employee at Roto Rooter in Baton Rouge for his professionalism and promptness! Mr. Anthony C. was awesome! It was this past Friday he came out to my apartment and fixed my kitchen sink and unstopped my sink in my bathroom, he even cleaned up the mess! He went over and beyond and I really appreciated him for that! Please see that he is acknowledged in some fashion because of his great work ethic, we need more employees like him everywhere! Thanks in advance Candice. read more

Our drains were getting backed up in several rooms and we couldn't use the washer since it was starting to contribute to the drainage problem. Contacted several companies on yelp and roto rooter got back to us very quickly (within an hour) with a fair price. They arrived in the time frame they said and even fixed one of the running toilets while at our house! Very happy with the service we received. read more

Hi, I reached to roto rooter to repair hot water tank. The tech never came for the first two days (no-call no-show). when he finally came he lied to me and told me I didn't have a Reheem so he could up charge me with new tank. turns out I just needed a new part. I ended up getting the part myself. Called them again for install, but once again no-call, no show. I WILL NEVER USE ROTO ROOTER again, but if you do, be careful, because THEY WILL TRY TO OVER CHARGE. read more

Hired Roto-Rooter to unclog our underground downspout. Charged us $650 for the first hour and $350 for the second hour. 30 minutes of that was spent filling up their water tank with our water. We were told we had a 14 day guarantee. It rained 2 days later and the downspout was still clogged. They did come right back out. It rained again 8 days later. Still clogged. We were told the 14 day guarantee was only for one additional visit and if we wanted them to come back out it would be $300 an hour. Who spends $300 an hour with a company that doesn't stand behind their work??? Colossal waste of $837. read more

Roto-Rooter - This is after they came out the second time. - Plumbing Near Me - Baton Rouge, Louisiana

Great work and very fast!!! Had a drain backing up for a few weeks, but this week it decided to really go bad. Called them and within 2 hours they had someone out here and it was fixed. Excellent service and will continue to go to them for any plumbing needs. read more

I'm giving two stars, because until my last experience I have been very pleased with their service. A few weeks ago, my thermocouple needed to be replaced on my hot water heater. Upon arrival, the plumber almost immediately was trying to convince me I needed to replace the water heater and told me their bottom of the line units started at $2400. When I asked if he could just change out the part, he said he could for $460.00. I agreed and 1 hour later my water heater was working. After he left, I did some research and discovered this job typically costs $150.00-$200.00. I emailed the company to ask if perhaps I had been taken advantage of. The owner of the company replied that the plumbers manager would be calling me. I'm still waiting. Also, I received a copy of paperwork that had my signature forged on it. read more

We had a hot water issue at home and our pilot light wouldn't stay up lit up . we called this company and they replaced the hotwater burner in the attic and charged us more than 900 dollars . I wanted to get an itemized bill for the parts replaced to file for my home insurance and I havent received it for the last 6 months . I called the company multiple time without help. I hope Mr Shane would check in to it and do the needful. My cell no is 3376541917 My name Jay Meno read more

Did a great job. Very friendly. Honest. Hard working. Efficient. I will be hiring them again in the future IF I have any plumbing issues in the future. read more

Excellent service today from Jordan. He was able to unclog the pipes and he was very professional.

You don't really think about plumbing till it goes out. They had a very quick response. When the Roto-Rooter guys were packing their tools up to leave after completing the job, I went outside and sang Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Thank you. It was a true relief to have functioning plumbing again. read more

We called Roto Rooter out to help fix a small leak in our kitchen faucet. They sent soemone out, and he ended up charging us about $700 for a couple of hours of work. We did get a new faucet . . . unfortunately, it was leaking again in less than a week. When we called, the same plumber informed us that this work was not guaranteed, but there would be a second charge to fix the "old plumbing". When we got a plumber from an independent company, he said that all of the fixtures had not been tightened properly and fixed everything for less than one-third of what RR charged. I can't say that I will ever use this company again. They do not guarantee their work and they obviously do not know what they are doing. read more

Sent Josh out and he did great job. Very professional, knowledgeable and got the job done in very timely fashion. Can't say enough good about the company or employees, from help on phone with appointment to answering the call...great job....will use them again. Highly recommend them. Great job guys ! read more

My reason are because my plumber was 25 minutes late, he started at 9:25am and finished at 10:59am that comes to about 1 hr and 39 minutes, that the time to go to the hardware store and get what he had to get, and they charged me for 2 hours , that SERIOUSLY dont add up nor sound right so I will not be continuing me services any longer, thanks but no thanks read more

We've been having drainage problems for 3 days, good thing we still have a camper in the driveway. Called these folks this morning at 8:45 and by 11:00 a tech showed up. 20 minutes after showing up, problem was resolved, water flowing freely. Awesome customer service. read more

Had an issue at our new house. The Roto-Rooter guys showed up within an hour and a half and saved the day. We've had no issues since. The price was reasonable and response time was more than reasonable. Would use again! read more

Came out quickly when called. Left a ridiculous mess behind, but I could have lived with that as most plumbers don't clean the mess left behind. They charged $285 to remove 2 toilets and snake out my line which I was fine with. Two days later toilets & sinks were backing up again. Came out and charged another $185 saying it was a different problem. It's not a different problem. All of my toilets and sinks are slow draining still. I called the office and was told again that the second time was a different problem. Again, no it wasn't and I'll have to pay a second plumber to come fix what Roto Rooter charged me twice to only half way fix. I'll be using a different plumber from now on. read more

Very knowledgeable and quick to respond. We had an issue that needed same day service and they were available and fixed it for us!

These guys were awesome! Came in after I mistakenly called their competitors who had a similar name and screwed my plumbing up. Shane swept in, fixed the problem and in under 20 mins as well. Top notch!! read more

Dylan was really fast and prompt!! I even found out future concerns due to being able to get an early estimate,I will be able to get it taken care of before a bigger problem occur!! Thanks Mr. Dylan for giving us great service we need more like more like you!!! read more

This is my second time using Roto Rooter for plumbing issues. The first experience was awesome. They arrived when they said they would and fixed my problem immediately. Dylan troubleshooted another issue I was having that had to wait for a later date as he didn't have the proper tools with him, but knew what was needed. The later date was when I needed a hot water heated installed and the installation person was just as great as the first. It is August in Louisiana and the attic where the install was to take place was HOT. Amedo, did a spectacular job and worked quickly (likely because he didn't want to be up there, I honestly felt bad for him). The communication and scheduling however, was absolutely atrocious Amedo was not able to fix the pre discussed problem as he did not have the correct tools (which was a concern that I expressed to the office upon scheduling). I called on a Saturday and they assured me that they would have someone out on Monday. So I took off work and stayed home. No call. No service. So at 4:00 PM I call them to ask when I can expect someone, and they say they would call to reschedule for the next day. They call back saying it will be Wednesday "the first call between 8 and 9 am" (I would have been fine if they said Wednesday to begin with, just don't make me take off work extra). Wednesday comes, 9 am comes and I call to ask for an update. Its been pushed back to 9:30 as there was another job ahead of me, which again is okay, just please don't tell me one thing and deliver another. This scheduling made it more difficult for Amedo as well as the later in the day he was scheduled, the hotter the attic got. The install was great, but again the second issue I had has still not been resolved as the office did such a poor job of scheduling or even communicating. I will think twice before scheduling with Roto Rooter again, just because of the lack of communication and the disregard for the issues expressed upon scheduling. read more

After a week of dealing with other plumbing services (Sam Taylor Plumbing was the WORST of all) I finally found these guys on yelp and let me tell you, THEY WERE INCREDIBLE and an answer to prayer! They came out Saturday morning and were VERY reasonably priced (especially with not having a huge budget to fix my plumbing crisis and it now being the WEEKEND) they took my call early (around 8 am) -they were super friendly- got my information and said they would call back, with the week being full of people giving me the run around I expected to wait on them for an hour or more but was pleasantly surprised when I received a call not even 30 minutes later to tell me some one was IN ROUTE already!! They gave me the technicians information and a pretty clear estimate of what I should be expecting. Aside from the two people I talked to on the phone that were super friendly and very knowledgeable, the technicians were also INCREDIBLE!! The Technicians arrived before the estimated 30 minutes!! They were so friendly, also very knowledgeable and had everything done in no time!! I can't rave enough about the service provided by this company!! Honestly don't hesitate or look any further, just CALL THEM!!! read more

I would give them 100 stars if I could. The owner is a honest man who puts his customers first even when its not easy. My parents are moving and they had an issue at the house they are selling. This owner bent over backwards to fix the issue knowing that the house was closing in 2 weeks. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for taking care of your customers like they were family. Great quality work, working to fix the true issue, honest workmanship. read more

Every few years I have to have them come out because of a poorly designed line in my older home from my washing machine. They've always come out as scheduled and have always called to advise exactly when the technician is on their way. Never have had to wait more than 2 hours after the initial call. Always friendly and polite, always efficient, always solve the problem. There is no other company I'd deal with except these guys. read more

They were honestly the greatest. I messaged them on here late one night and the next day they were at my home. They saved me so much money on my repair because they actually found and fixed my problem instead of trying to finesse me. I'm so glad I got a second opinion from Roto-Rooter. read more

We had a horrible drainage issue and the technician came quickly and had it fixed for a very reasonable price. I would definitely use them again! read more

We have a pediatric clinic so bathrooms are a MUST. First thing Monday morning brought a serious potty problem that could not be fixed with a simple plunger. We called another very well-known agency who said they could not give us a time estimate but they would call us around 3:00pm to let us know if it was going to be the next day and that we should call other places to get on their lists as well. So Roto-Rooter was next on the list and not only did they understand our crisis (though is there ever a time that a potty problem isn't a crisis?) but the technician called us within 10 minutes that he was on his way. Crisis conquered! As we say around here often.....not all heroes wear capes. read more

Set up a service call for clogged sinks. Was told they would be here after lunch. Never showed on day 1. Called back the next day, was told they would definitely be here before 4pm. Never showed. Called back and said they wouldn't be able to make it, again. Not once did I receive a call that they weren't going to make it. Horrible customer service. Will never use for any service again. read more

The pros: come on short notice; come on holidays and weekends (yes, I have called on both); always fast, friendly and efficient; will return at no cost if problem reoccurs within 30 days; and the cost is reasonable ($150.00 or less per visit). The cons: one repairmen is a talker and I had difficulty ending conversations about his life; there is a disconnect between the person who sets appts. and the technician (will call before coming, will bring camera equipment to view pipe interior, etc). All in all, still worth five stars, as the work is great! read more

Had a leaking valve on a water heater which was flooding the side yard. Received a call at 8 a.m. saying that the technician would be here at 9 a.m. When no-one arrived by 11 a.m. I called to see when they would be arriving. I explained that I had an appointment to go to and would have to reschedule if he was not coming soon. They told me he was on his way and would be here in 15 minutes. He finally showed up a little before noon. The problem was a nut needed to be tightened so he was here all of five minutes. The appointment I was unable to make cost $80 because I was a no show and he charged me $145. read more

Have always had a swift response. Problem fixed first time, every time. Worker said their boss treated them very well. Just goes to show, happy employees=great service!! read more

Call and gave specific instructions of where leak was outside. Plumber showed up late and went inside without permission and pulled out dishwasher and carved hole in Sheetrock then put Dishwasher back in incorrectly such that water did not get to it and did not discover or fix problem - BECAUSE IT WAS OUTSIDE! Had to pay $350 to another plumber to discover and fix problem. Got bill from Roto-Rooter for over $350 for doing nothing we asked them to do! Would never use them again and suggest you don't either. If I could give them a negative star I would. read more
