A drain snaked all the way out to a septic holding tank, back and forth at each blockage, then rinsed with hot water: that is how a customer described a visit from Eli at Roto-Rooter Plumbing & Water Cleanup. On Google the company holds a 4.8-star average from 1,300 ratings. It says it has been in business 91 years and offers 24/7 emergency service, and its stated service area runs from Hartford and East Hartford to New Haven, Litchfield, New London and Fairfield. A customer with a kitchen-sink emergency on a Sunday evening said Merg came out and fixed the issue. A customer said Merg came out the same night they called and got it all cleared out. A customer with a leaking shower tub faucet said Frank diagnosed a shower cartridge that needed replacing and installed the replacement part the customer got from Lowe's. A customer said Fernando assisted with a sewage loss and helped file the claim through the insurance. A 2025 customer said Charles worked on a blocked drainage pipe for over 2 hours until the water was flowing again. A 2023 customer with a drain line issue caused by ground settling outside the foundation said Jimmy put a camera down the rest of the line, and that Jimmy and his team completed the work within a week of first contact. A customer said Franklin's work was great but paid $99 for the visit and another $500 to screw on a new bathtub faucet. A customer objected to $600 in labor for an hour of work that included a trip to Home Depot for a $172 part. A 2024 customer said they were charged $641 to unclog a slow kitchen sink drain during business hours for about 30 minutes of work, and was offered a coupon for future work when they called back. A customer who asked for help with an oil water heater said the office booked a Monday appointment, then called less than an hour before it to say "We don't work on those".
Sal was kind and professional. I am happy to have his expertise!
Eli did a great job. Diagnosed, explained the cost of the job clearly and snaked the drain all the way out to the septic holding tank taking time at each blockage he discovered to snake back and forth to thoroughly eliminate the block and rinsed it thoroughly with hot water before moving on. He certainly inspires confidence and you’ll be our go to company for any plumbing issue in the future!
Fernando is amazing! He was efficient, concise and made my husband and I feel heard. Thanks again for your hard work!
