During the Connecticut deep freeze, a landlord wrote in a February 2026 Google review, Augie and Joe spent two full days diagnosing a frozen-pipe emergency at a rental, opening walls where necessary — and handled another major plumbing issue on the same visit that the customer had been quoted $6,000 for elsewhere. Mr. Rooter of Southern Fairfield County is a Shelton plumbing company with 4.9★ from 756 Google ratings; its website lists 24/7 emergency service and a service area from Fairfield and Bridgeport to Greenwich, Danbury and Ridgefield. Gary is named in seven reviews. In a September 2026 review, a repeat customer sent him a photo and he had the problem fixed almost immediately, without ordering parts; a May 2026 customer had two new toilets installed by Gary and Joe, who arrived within 10 minutes of the delivery. An October 2026 reviewer described being walked through shutting off the water by phone and a plumber arriving right at 8 the next morning. A May 2026 review credits Kevin Wilmot with checking a sump pump in a water-damaged basement and explaining how it works. In an October 2023 review, Fernando and Tremain arrived with equipment within the hour; using a tunneling camera, they found the water source and a collapse in the draining system, and a supervisor later pinpointed the collapse with a locator. There are complaints too. A December 2025 Google reviewer said they were told twice they would get a call back for an emergency and never did. In a December 2023 review, a customer said they were charged 115 and then 250 for the same issue a couple months apart, and a June 2022 customer said the first crew did not finish the job and another worker had to come back. Angi and HomeAdvisor each show 4.6★ from 178 ratings, and its BBB grade is A+. The Connecticut registry lists its plumber licence, PLM.0203785-P1, as inactive.

I use Mr. Rotter any time their is plumbing issues in my home. I am always satisfied with the job. I highly recommend Mr. Rotter.
Mr Rooter has always been responsive to my emergency plumbing needs. I called yesterday afternoon with an issue in my basement bathroom. They walked me through how to shut off the water and stem the flooding. I was given an appointment window of 8-10 am the following day and they showed up right at 8. The plumber was polite, friendly and informative. They worked quickly and cleaned up (with bleach) before leaving. 10/10 recommend.
I was very pleased with Mr. Rooter and the service they provided. They are very professional, courteous, respectful and prompt. The service is fast and reliable. The cost is reasonable. I can't say enough about this company and I will be using Mr. Rooter in the future for sure!
