United Rooter gets called when a drain or sewer line stops moving. The company describes itself on its website as a provider of sewer, water and excavation repairs and replacements, and says it has been in business for 28 years. Its BBB grade is A+. A recent customer calls Bob responsive, well priced, efficient and effective. A 2026 customer said United Rooter came to the house at 10pm, explained everything and did the job. A 2024 customer with a gurgling tub and a kitchen disposal backing up said the response time was very fast and the problem turned out to be a clogged main line. A 2024 customer said a different company had failed to unclog their sewer pipes; United Rooter unclogged the pipe, got a camera into it, fixed and replaced a bunch of pipe, and came back during spring to patch the pavement that had been cut. A 2023 customer said John and his guys augered a backed-up sewer line at their business, pulled out the tree roots and cleaned up the mess for a fair price. A 2022 customer said Mike and Junior were sent for a recurring plumbing issue at their Bed and Breakfast and were prompt and knowledgeable. A 2023 customer said two workers sent for a clogged pipe never checked for one and insisted on checking a septic system that was a year old, a supervisor did not show up when he said he would, and they were charged an emergency service charge for a scheduled visit. A 2023 customer said they paid $300 for work on what they were told was the house trap, the pipe clogged again three days later and it was the main line, and when they disputed it he hung up on them. A 2023 customer accused the business of price gouging. A 2023 customer said the issue was not rectified at first, but after speaking with John, the United Rooter team came through.
“United Rooter has cleared several downspouts of decades-old blockage, which was the culprit for much of our water infiltration issue.”
