RooterMan North Shore Massachusetts, the Peabody franchise of the national drain-and-sewer brand, has a review history built almost entirely around one thing: technicians who explain what's wrong before they fix it. Across 39 Google reviews from 2024 through this summer, the same names — Joe, Dustin, Doug, Sam and Chris — turn up again and again, and the detail people give about them is remarkably consistent: they walk through the diagnosis, lay out the cost, and then do the work. Response time on real emergencies holds up. One customer with a main-stack backup had Joe on site within about 90 minutes; a family with a kitchen sink and washer both backing up got a technician the next morning after calling late in the afternoon. On a stubborn second-floor drain line that, in the reviewer's words, other clean-out companies had never been able to fully open, Joe cleared it completely — following up on earlier camera inspection work the company had already done on the same house's first-floor and main lines. Repeat business is a recurring thread rather than a one-off claim: several reviewers describe using RooterMan for 10, 15, even several decades, including one commercial property manager who called them fantastic for years before finally needing a house call. Small courtesies come up often too — cleaning up after a job that wasn't the technician's mess to begin with, suggesting preventive maintenance before being asked. Google shows a 4.8-star average across 52 ratings, and the only real complaint in the record is mild — a customer who wished the truck on-site had a camera option available, though the underlying drain problem still got resolved that visit. For a clogged line, a backed-up stack, or a drain issue nobody else could fully clear, this is a company with a long, specific paper trail of doing exactly that.

Had drain pipe break inside wall, Tech Sam evaluated the issue, redlined the cost and the repair in detail, Sam and Christian did a great job fixing old cast iron pipe and running new PVC drain to downstairs bathroom sink.
Successful cleaning of ejector pump. RooterMan has always provided me fast service. I highly recommend !
We had an emergency issue with our main stack and they sent over Joe within 90 minutes or so. He was professional, kind, and explained everything. I would definitely recommend their services. Thanks Joe! 👍
Chris and Jr. arrived when promised, fully explained the issue and provided options and recommendations. Chris was pleasant, knowledgeable and took care of the problem in a timely fashion. He also suggested prevention and maintenance tips. Highly recommend!
I recently had Dustin from Rooterman come out to snake and service our drain, and I honestly can’t say enough great things about the experience. From the moment he arrived, Dustin was professional, courteous, and clearly knew exactly what he was doing. He assessed the situation quickly, explained what needed to be done, and got right to work without any unnecessary upselling or delay. The drain is flowing perfectly now, and the whole job was handled cleanly and efficiently. If you need any plumbing or drain service, don’t hesitate — ask for Dustin. He’s the kind of technician that makes you actually look forward to calling a service company. Five stars all the way!
