great job to jose who professionally replaced the sink !
Tech was very professional, knowledgeable and patient. They showed up when they were expected and did the work quickly and efficiently.
The technician was great. The only thing was the cost and I know he doesn’t make that up. Roto-Rooter does no wonder you guys are making a lot of money.
Excellent job great work
Alet did a great job getting our system working again. Very thorough as he also checked our septic and suggested improvements. Appreciated the caméra inspection of the main drain done by his specialist.
