Ready Rooter is a Sandwich plumbing, heating, drain and septic company. In a 2025 review, a customer said Hank found a sewer line blockage with a camera and determined the cracked pipe, more than 60 years old, had to be replaced. That 2025 customer said the pipe sat behind a fence and under a patio, so it was dug up by hand, and that Hank and Will finished the work in 4 days. The company's website says brothers Kevin and Patrick Sullivan returned to Cape Cod in 1999 to start Ready Rooter, and that Kevin Sullivan is its president. A 2002 capecodtimes.com article described the brothers opening Ready-Rooter plumbing in Sandwich. A 2025 customer said the company came out within 2 hours to empty a septic tank, and that the technician Tim advised on maintenance. A 2025 Google reviewer wrote that Hank cleared a blocked septic system on a cold Saturday evening and returned Sunday morning to complete the job. A 2024 customer said Angelo pointed out that their septic tank had two covers, not one, and took pictures for future reference. A 2022 customer said Kevin called back on a Sunday morning and someone was in the drive within an hour. A 2023 customer said Kevin and his team installed a new gas hot water and baseboard heating system in their home. A 2024 customer said they came the same day for a clogged toilet and advised against replacing a lift pump. In a 2025 review, a customer whose water had stopped running said Ready Rooter arrived within an hour, diagnosed a well pump issue, and gave a referral because they do not replace well pumps. In a 2017 review, a customer said the worker who came to check the pipes ripped the door to their outside fence off its hinges and did not fix it before leaving. Kevin Sullivan's Massachusetts plumber licence, number 13041-PL-M, is active on the state registry.

“Three years ago, Kevin Sullivan and his brother Patrick took advantage of the plumber shortage to open Ready-Rooter plumbing in Sandwich.”
I had a sewer line blockage at a toilet that hadn’t been used in 20+ years. Hank found the blockage with a camera and determined the pipe would have to be replaced. It was cracked and more than 60 years old. Due to its location - behind a fence and under a patio, it had to be dug up by hand. Hank and Will worked diligently on some very hot, humid days, digging and replacing piping inside and outside the house. All told, the work was completed in 4 days.
Today we had to call to have the septic tank emptied. My mother-in-law was not sure who she used previously or when it was last done. Called Ready Rooter spoke to the most pleasant & helpful woman and they came out within 2 hours our call! The technician Tim was professional, polite, explained everything and also advised my husband what to do for maintenance/preventative. Definitely will keep their information for any/all plumbing needs. Would HIGHLY recommend this company and the technician Tim
The water stopped running in our house one morning and Ready Rooter was at my house within an hour of our call. They assessed the situation, tried a few solutions, and diagnosed it as a well pump issue. They don't replace well pumps, but were able to give us a great referral. Once the pump was replaced, Ready Rooter was quick getting back to us to reset our water filtration system. You can absolutely trust them to help you get the job done, from start to finish.
Ready-Rooter’s Hank cleared our blocked septic system on a cold Saturday evening. He returned Sunday morning to complete the job. Thank you Ready-Rooter.
Great work done by Angelo who also pointed out that I had to septic tank covers NOT just one. I never knew this even though I had it cleaned and pump before by another company. He noted by taking pictures for future reference. Going forward I'll be scheduling my cleaning through Ready Rooter. Thanks for the Great work.
