I'm really torn writing this review, because the tech who arrived at the house did a great job clearing the clogged drain. From start to finish he was in my home for just 30 minutes. He was courteous, wore a mask and cleaned up completely. I would welcome him back any time.
The problem is with Roto Rooter. I called on a Sunday afternoon when the kitchen sink wouldn't drain. They said they could send someone out. How much would it be I asked? The agent said she didn't know but the tech would let me know. A few minutes later a scheduler called to let me know they could have a plumber at my house in 30 - 45 minutes. Again I asked the price and again I was told they didn't know but that the plumber would tell me. Around 90 minutes after my original call, the plumber arrived and informed me they use a Flat Rate pricing system, presented me with a printed sheet that showed the various services they offered and told me that to clear my sink drain,the cost would be $375 plus tax! At this point, I was trapped. I had waited long enough on a Sunday afternoon that it was unlikely I could get another plumber out. So I paid the exorbitant fee and had my drain cleared out.
I've learned two things - never accept a we don't know the price service and NEVER EVER call Roto Rooter again. I would warn everyone to learn from my mistage
