Roto-Rooter Plumbing & Water Cleanup

The Manchester, NH Roto-Rooter location gets there fast, and the price is what people argue about. It is the local branch of the national drain-cleaning brand, run as an independent contractor under the Roto-Rooter name, and it offers 24/7 plumbing, drain, water heater and water damage restoration work. Mark A Simard's New Hampshire plumber licence (#3257) is active. Google shows 4.7 stars from 430 ratings. A customer in April 2026 said a crew arrived within an hour of the call, ran a camera down the line and found roots growing through the pipe to the street. An August 2026 review praised same-day service, and a late-April 2026 customer said a technician came out the day after a call about a septic pipe, then returned the next day to fix it. Water cleanup is a real part of the work here: two customers this summer described Jeff handling their water mitigation jobs, and in a January 2026 review a customer said a representative came out with moisture-detecting equipment after a washing-machine leak and stayed through the insurance visit. The cost is the recurring complaint. An April 2026 customer paid $750 for about an hour on site; a March 2026 review cited a $600 flat rate to clear any clog; a February 2025 customer called $726 to snake the pipes far too much. A July 2026 customer gave 1 star after an emergency leak repair, saying the work they asked for to keep a garden hose spigot from freezing was not done. In January 2026, a customer said their 10–12 appointment was moved to 2–4 without a call. A June 2025 reviewer said the company failed to seal a leaky toilet on three visits and charged a lot each time. In a 2021 review, a landlord said the main sewer line backed up the morning after a $472 cleaning and the company wanted another $472 to return.
