Curtis Kurka from Rooter-Man has always taking great care of us. We've been using Rooter-Man for over five years, and have always had great service.  Just recently we had a pipe burst in the ceiling on a Sunday and Curtis was able to come over to assess the situation, fix the problem, and even clean up this mess on his way out.

I highly recommend Rooter-Man for your plumbing needs

Curtis K. is THE BEST! Curtis goes ABOVE AAND BEYOND!!! Our family is so thankful for him!!! He has helped us in our previous home and now our new home!! He always gives us the estimate of the expected cost BEFORE beginning--most servicemen+servicewomen just start on the problem, THEN the client is shocked by the price afterwards. Our family is very grateful for Curtis-- we are able to budget for repairs that will be needed in the near future!

We are always so very thankful for Curtis K. and we continue to refer him to our friends and family. Thank you Curtis!

Review update- After seeing my review the owner of the company addressed my concerns, came out to address what the problems were,  and reduced the charges to a reasonable amount. Although my initial review was poor, I would give them 4 stars after they came to an equitable resolution with me.

I have used this company many times over the last 5 years at my home and business. This will be the last time. The tech that came to diagnose a plugged sewer line wasted a bunch of time walking around and then billed me for 3 hours when he actually only spent about an hour working. They basically charged me $900 to snake a drain. If you want an honest company that will do a good job for a reasonable price you should look elsewhere.

I had a couple months of high water bills and couldn't isolate the leak. Called Rooterman to take care of the issue largely based on their website. I definitely made the right decision! Misty (the sweetest person ever) answered and took care of the scheduling and had the guys out to see me quickly and efficiently handled the billing.

Curtis Kurka was the tech who showed up and his years of experience made obvious the he was the right man for the job. He took his time diagnosing my issues and went through every  potential culprit prior to telling me that I needed a new main line to the house. I knew what I was in for, so I called Misty back and requested Curtis to do the work.

Curtis and his apprentice Shane Walters showed up the next business day to do the work. They use this cool text system notifying you the guys are enroute, shows a photo of the tech, a bit about themselves, and even tracking. Curtis and Shane got to work straight away and didn't waste any time. They made sure to manage expectations and kept a very clean work area.  

I had the chance to talk with Curtis and Shane a bit while they were on the job and I can tell you that not only are they great guys, but these are the pros you want working on your property. I was very impressed with Shane's knowledge, work ethic, and his desire to progress in the field. Curtis knowledge is just awesome and feels like a buddy from minute one.

As I know a bit about plumbing and construction, I can tell you the work was done very well and at or above code. I wouldn't hesitate to call Rooterman again, but certainly would be asking for Curtis and Shane.

Collen did A+ work for me a few months ago and I called Rooter-Man Austin again and was delighted that Collen was available!  He was right on time, communicated with me clearly, gave me 2 options and explained the brand's warranty for the product I chose.  I trust his recommendations and that means a lot!
Having a super reliable plumbing company is essential to any homeowner and I feel fortunate to have discovered Rooter-Man Austin.  NO more worries about finding a plumber!

I originally asked for a quote for tankless water heaters. rooterman instead talked me into tanked water heaters because they have less maintenance issues. 1 year in the control valve failed.

I had to pay rooterman almost $300 to install a warranty covered part.

A year later the same part failed, and I was informed by another plumber that these were known defective parts. Rooterman wants another $300 to install this part. This part btw is an easy install, 30 minutes of labor tops.

This isn't the only scam rooterman runs- they wanted $500 for a shower cartridge install. this takes all of 10 minutes of labor and a $60 part.

Rooterman love To upcharge, scam, and install defective equipment that will require regular warranty labor expenses. Find someone else!

I had another outstanding experience with Rooterman again today.  I called this morning and by 2pm they had a technician out to fix my broken toilet. As usual David was extremely professional, proficient, and courteous. He was in and out within an hour and completely fixed the issue.

Their level of integrity and competence is stellar, I could not be happier with my experience.  I would recommend them every day of the week and twice on Sunday...

Many thanks to the entire staff of Rooterman Austin!  Every single person there is caring and helpful and I have only one entry in my rolodex for plumbers... These guys are great!

Our entire guest bathroom was clogged and not functioning - after conveniently making an appointment online, I had a plumber at my door the next day. He was very professional, knowledgeable, and kind. The staff who called to confirm was also very friendly. They got the job done all at a reasonable price and saved our bathroom! Nothing but good things to say.

I had been told by another company with a similar name that I needed thousands of dollars of additions to my tankless water heater in order to get hot water to my shower. The first thing David did was unscrew the sprayer head and remove pipe debris that was clogging the outlet. and I immediately had hot water to the shower. Then he thoroughly checked out the cause of other plumbing issues, crawling under my house, then coming to another simple solution. My bill was a fraction of the cost of any other plumbers visit I have had. I will always call Rooter-Man and ask for David if time allows a choice of plumbers!

Our sink in the kitchen was clogged. Water backed up. Curtis came on time and did a great job. We liked him and asked him to investigate a potential water leak. He was very professional. Ask for Curtis!

Three great experiences with Rooterman of Austin. Most recently, Collen was extremely professional, super quick to find our leak, took care of it with minimal damage to our wall and gave us great advice along the process. All the while being friendly and understanding. We would highly recommend him and hope we can use his services anytime we need help with plumbing.

I'll be a returning customer!
Curtis came out just after a Christmas freeze (when everyone else couldn't fit us in) for a number of plumbing issues - clogged line, leak under the sink, low water pressure. He fixed them all -efficiently and professionally.
Great experience. Best plumber we've had.

Curtis Kurka is just one of the best plumbers.  He installed a water heater when the old one started leaking and since the house water pressure was too high, he also came back and installed a new water pressure valve on the house line.  And a new turn-off handle.  The old one required a special tool but the new one doesn't and is much easier.  He's a great plumber!
Also,  if you need septic service, get Byron!  He is the absolute best in town!

I was very impressed with Rooter-Man of Austin's handling of a gas line repair I needed. Gas issues are particularly critical and they were very responsive, on-time and nailed the results.
Communication was safe and secure. They send you the name, picture and information of the serviceperson before arrival.
My service technician, Collen, was perfect. He was a straight shooter who could both tell you the basics as well as discuss things at a higher-level when prompting him. My particular gas repair (a broken valve on an emergency shut off line) had a couple of options to go with. He delineated them well and gave a recommendation which I felt very good going with.
I will call on them if any need were to arise again.

Second call placed for other drains. This is a brand new service.

Same amazing service. We had Allen out again, he worked diligently to clean my wife's shower pipe and sink pipe, fixed the detached stopper, and cleaned our kitchen sink pipe in the add-on building.

Obviously it was more expensive, but like the last service, this was well worth it on pipes that probably haven't been serviced since they were installed decades ago. There is a reason why Rooter-Man is highly rated, they DO THE JOB RIGHT THE FIRST TIME. Highly recommend, still 5 stars.

July 2021

Allen came out exactly on time. We have a 54-year-old house that has the original cast iron drain and the washroom. For years we've been unable to use the washroom due to the pipe not draining.

Also our kitchen sink drained poorly because there was a vacuum created by the clogged pipe in the washroom. Allen used the camera and a snake and determined that there were two large clogs he got rid of those in about 45 minutes and also fixed an exterior faucet. Everything seems to work great now and we are extremely pleased with this company.

The best part is it was only $147 to fix everything. We highly recommend using this company.

Curtis is awesome!!! I thought that he needed to fix a check valve that one of his co-workers did but it ended up being something that would be covered with my waterline insurance. He went above & beyond to help me understand what the insurance company will need to do. Very helpful!
Thank you Curtis & Rooter Man! I'm glad that I'm a member because I wasn't charged for the service fee!

We had one question about our toilet that ended up becoming two or three other questions, and the more we thought to talk through things, the more seemed to come up... so we called for help, and Collen at Rooter Maan was awesome at answering all of our questions and wrapping them all up with a terrific job at getting our bathroom up and running again.  I totally recommend him to anyone in need of good plumbing!

Shout out to Curtis for coming out and fixing a clogged sink drain. Very knowledgeable and friendly guy. I learned a lot of stuff I probably should have already known about my house. Pricing is straight forward and he lets you know up front. They document everything very well. Seems like a very well run business.

Our usual plumber couldn't get to us for several days so I yelped and found Rooter-Man. The good reviews were reflected in an A+ experience. Got an appointment within hours rather than days, and our plumber Landen was fast and friendly. Plus, I paid a bit less than the regular plumber was going to charge. What's not to like about that?

SERVICE STAR HERO DAY
Here is a review for my #servicestarhero!
I found myself in a quandary recently. Our water pressure had been fluctuating for a few days and we thought maybe our water was being rationed during prime use hours. (Well every other weird thing has happened over the past year so why not?)
Anyhoo -Saturday it went from a slow stream to a trickle to no water at all -and it was affecting all sinks, commodes and bathing facilities in our home. We are so clueless we still thought it must be a worldwide event! (Ok-maybe a neighborhood event...) so we polled our neighbors only to find they all had water!!
What to do? Decided a plumber was in order. I began my research on Yelp of course and there were many agencies that had great reviews.
I was drawn to Rooter Man as it had an abundance of 4&5 Star Reviews. Was family and veteran owned and operated.
Being the frugals we waited until  Monday to call. The call was picked up by the 4 th ring and Catherine had me describe our plumbing problem. She reviewed their schedule and offered an appointment Tuesday afternoon between 2-4pm. She advised that whomever was assigned would text me when they headed our way. She then advised the fee for the service call was $79, but said if we opted to have them repair the problem tomorrow that fee would be waived.
I appreciated her being forthright with their processes. She was very professional and had a smile in her voice.
The next day I missed a call from Catherine and when I called her back she advised they had a cancellation and could arrive between 12-2p if we wanted to take the earlier appointment. That was fine with us. She reviewed their process of having the plumber text us when on their way.
Before too long I received a text from Byron with his picture- a great way of identifying who would be coming. There was also a phone number given should we have any questions.
A text also came when he arrived at our home. Byron introduced himself. We described our issues with the lack of water.
After listening he began removing the kitchen sink faucet head. I was telling him that in my restroom something resembling sand was coming out of one of the sink faucets. He asked us about our water heater and if we had a traditional style water softener. When we said we did he diagnosed the problem immediately. Evidently the softener had broken and was spilling tiny silicone grains out into our water pipes. He then began to run the water and sure enough out they came. He explained it was best to use the larger faucets to discharge the contaminated water. He opened the faucets in both tubs... wooo -E there was a lot of that stuff from inside the water softener. He told us that since we had a Moen Faucet at the kitchen sink - they had such faith in their product they would likely send us a new head free-no shipping-no nothing...what a great tip!! He said to simply email them. I told him I was concerned about the fridge too so he told us what to do about that to avoid using any tainted ice or water.
He offered to replace the toilet tank innards or saud that we could do it as well to make sure they continued to function. He then tidied up the areas he had made repairs to. He was able to give us the invoice- we paid the amount due. After thanking us for choosing Rooter Man he said goodbye- and to call if any further problems developed.
Byron was professional, and offered us some great tips. He was neat and clean. He was respectful of us as his customers.
Should you need help with your plumbing we highly recommend Rooter Man Plumbing.

Plumbing had backed up on one side of our house and were told by a plumber that we had a sewage line break under our house. We contacted multiple companies for estimates and Rooter-Man came out the next morning (an hour earlier than scheduled!). Luke & Collin located a blockage and checked/cleared from multiple trap entrances. Once they cleared the blockage they confirmed it there was NO break! They saved us $15-$20k in unnecessary repairs! Fast and efficient. Thanks Luke & Collin!

Highly recommended- we had a leak detection and Curtis came in to check what the issue might be. He was so knowledgeable and patient. We asked him quite a few questions drive it was our first time-  not once did we see him get impatient or in a rush to complete the job. We highly recommend rooter and Curtis.

Rooter-Man came to our house to diagnose a handful of plumbing issues we've been having. We ended up having one problem fixed (a leaky outdoor water spout) and got estimates for several larger projects that we'll need to save up for. Byron was our technician and he was great! He efficiently fixed our water spout and also educated us on our home's plumbing so we could make more informed decisions. We plan to use Rooter-Man going forward for the larger fixes once we have budgeted for them.

I'm torn. As a new homeowner, I want to turn to experts and have them teach me new info. However, I often don't know where to begin explaining the problem and have a lot of appreciation for companies that try to meet me halfway.

I noticed a leak on the outside foundation of my home each time I ran the dishwasher. Naturally, anything involving leaks or water freaks me out and a general consensus led me to think perhaps the drain pipe leaked. I called Rooter-Man to come out and take a look. The tech stayed for about 7 minutes, and said the dishwasher had a crack in a valve, and left. $79 just for that.

I hire someone else to come haul away the dishwasher, expecting mountains of mold and puddles that Rooter-Man tech predicted would be waiting behind the faulty machine. There was nothing. The dishwasher hual-away guy (who is a dishwasher professional; not a junk-removal service) told me it had no leak in it!

So now here I am. No dishwasher. No mold. No leak. No backed up pipes. No one to help advise. I called Rooter-Man and asked if they could come back out and diagnose if there was a pipe problem now that the dishwasher was gone. After consulting with management, they said they would not come out for free unless I found more water. Well...kind of hard to find more water if the plumbing attached to a dishwasher is the plumbing with a leak and I have no dishwasher to run to test it again.

What a mess. Anyway, I write this whole long thing to illustrate that I don't think it's entirely Rooter-Man's fault, however I rely on them for professional and accurate diagnostics. And it seems the fact of the matter is that their diagnosis was wrong. It still may be something that they're unable to fix; but it definitely wasn't the cracked dishwasher part.

Mr. Kurka did a wonderful job installing a gas line for my new stove to be installed.  The stove is from Best Buy, but the installers refused to install it because they said there was no room to get behind the (22 year old) stove to install the gas line. Mr. Kurka looked at it and saw that the shut off was beside the gas stove under a cabinet and was already turned off. He said BB should've been able to find it and install the line.  It was a pleasure working with Mr. Kurka and I will definitely call and ask for him for future plumbing needs.

My water heater went out the day after Thanksgiving and I wasn't expecting to find an available plumber let alone one offering good service. Thankfully Rooter-Man was a able to come out the same day. Curtis was great. He was friendly, professional  and was able to identify and fix my problem immediately. I would recommend them to anyone.

Over the phone I was given a rough estimate of a couple hundred dollars so I agreed to have a technician arrive between 2-4pm. The technician arrived close to 5pm and let me know the quote was going to be for over $600 for a basic sewage line clear with camera (which was necessary). My house was new construction so I decided to just try calling the builder plumber but they close at 5 so I'm hoping their after hours emergency line will get back to me

The technician was really nice and didn't charge me for the visit. But the company's failure to provide an estimate even close to the final quote and the technician arriving 1 hour after the time window made today a difficult day as a customer.

Several projects successfully completed by Router-Man Austin.  
Jobs included external freeze-proof faucets, addition of outside faucet, interior drain vent, installation of tankless water heater, replacement of toilets, drain cleaning, and other plumbing work.  Product and service recommendations have always been spot-on!

Router-Man's Dustin has been efficient and friendly on my projects.  I will not use another plumber in Austin!

The areas that they serve are inaccurately represented on their website.  I wonder if that is all, that is inaccurately represented.  

They do not serve the Liberty Hill area.

Update:
Mr. David called me personally to explain the situation as they (potentially) expand into the 78642 area code.  They attended to my plumbing issue, and I thank the Roto-Man team for the attentive, professional, and adept service.  Mr. Karl was wonderful while taking care of the issue.  A job well done.

Thank you,

- technician wasnt able to find the source to the problem and did a wrong diagnosis when called in to detect a water leak from the bathroom shower.
- the technician wasnt able to detect the leak ,but instead said the leak is due to the missing gasket to the shower door.
- charged over 130$ to come out and to do an ignorant trouble shooting.
- the wrong troubleshooting pointed us in the wrong direction leading to severe delay in finding the actual issue, all along while the leak was active.

- The actual issue was due to the broken shower drain beneath the shower stall, which was found out by a different plumber.
- waste of time and money going with rooterman plumbing despite the high 5 start reviews.

Second time using Rooter-Man and once again we are completely satisfied and very impressed with their responsiveness and ability to troubleshoot and remedy issues.

As a veteran, I always consider veteran-owned businesses first when vetting for any service. Rooter-Man was competitively priced but offered far better service response times.

Quick shout-out to Byron who was here both times and exceeded expectations while being remarkably attentive and respectful.

Well done!

I noticed our water bills had been steadily creeping up over the last few months. I chalked it up to COVID keeping us home and using more water, but  when two bills were almost double what we normally use in the winter (which goes into Austin's wastewater averaging), I knew I had to investigate more. This is the kind of thing that drives me crazy (and my poor spouse who has to listen to me ranting about a leak SOMEWHERE).

Looking at the water meter, I noticed the leak detector spinning slowly. Took readings over 24 hours, over the course of a few weeks, and noticed about 6-7 gallons an hour going out even when no water was used inside (all valves off). City confirmed and I knew I'd have to call a leak detection specialist.

I called Rooter-Man based on these Yelp reviews and I'm glad I did. Unlike a leak detection-only business, Rooter-Man diagnoses and fixes in one go. After examining the fittings in the house, and determingin no leak there, Eddie began investigating places outside where a leak might exist. He suspected it was a cracked fitting where the main line connects to the house line, and he was right. But he had to work for it! The leak was small, and the pipe was buried 2 feet down, not the normal 12 to 18 inches. Without the sonar equipment Eddie used, it would have been impossible to spot the leak since it was so deep there was no wet spot in the yard. Turns out tree roots had cracked the fitting - guess my landscaper is getting the next call to get rid of that tree!

Once discovered, Eddie got to work fixing the leak, which took a while because he had to be extra careful of the gas line buried in the same trench as the water line. Then the fitting was almost impossible to get off, requiring some clever use of a propane blowtorch. Finally it was fixed with a Chicago loop style fitting to allow for some flex. He tested everything before filling the hole and we flushed the lines. After turning off the water valves, we checked again - no leaks. The leak indicator is not spinning at all.

Leak detection is not inexpensive, especially when specialized equipment is needed to discern and diagnose the leak location. It might seem a big outlay of cash to fix this small leak, but the thing about leaks is that they never go away, they only get worse. I'd rather have this fixed now when it was only leaking 6 gallons an hour than to have it fixed in the summer when it might be leaking 6 gallons a minute!

Eddie was a consummate professional and really a pleasure to have working on this. He has an irrepressible attitude and is a real character. I enjoyed listening to him as he gave me the blow-by-blow of what he was doing and why he was doing it, and I appreciated his professionalism. Well done Eddie, and thanks to Rooter-Man for helping me sleep at night.

Collen came to replace our water heater and toliet, which ended up being a lot more involved than originally thought due to the age of the house. He did a great job of laying out our options and gave us a pretty clear path forward. We had some preventive work we were planning on holding off for but we decided to just take care of it now given how easy this whole thing was.

You will not be disappointed with Rooterman! Our whole house was stopped up, and they were here within an hour! Our technician/plumber, Landen, was highly skilled and quickly resolved the clog. He also took pictures and diagnosed the cause of the issue...tree roots in the sewer line! He was very nice and made sure the issue was completely resolved. Thanks, Landen and Rooterman!

WOW...I had a HORRIBLE experience trying to get a competitor company with a similar name come out to look at our hot water heaters. Reluctantly I wrote a bad review so people would avoid my experience. Problem is, I wrote the review on the WRONG business page (this one).

The owner reached out to inform me about my mistake and offered to send someone out SAME DAY to address our problem.

Within 2 hours the problem was fixed!

Props to Rooter Man for taking notice of a bad situation and capitalizing on the poor performance of a competitor to earn our business moving forward!

Collen McBride is the plumber Rooter Man sent to for repair a water leak under my sink.  He found a hole in the hose that had been cheeed by rats and looked at the hoses to my dishwasher and washing machine.  He advised me to replace the dishwasher as wiring had been chewed as well.  He was thorough and efficient and helpful.  He found an exposed wire to the garbage disposal and told me I needed an electrician to fix that.  He was pleasant, considerate and punctual.

We have an ongoing leak on our property.  I asked for 2 service people, because that's the only way to find leaks.  They sent one and all he could find was a faulty pressure valve.  He changed that.  Importantly, it doesn't work; it didn't change anything.  

On his invoice he said he needed to come back with TWO people....what I asked for in the beginning.  Bottom line, I paid $897.00 for a pressure valve that doesn't work!  I'm still looking for a solution to my leak!

David and his team are top notch. Trying to deal with American Home Shield was a hot mess. So, I decided to just bypass AHS and go straight to the best. I'd used Rooter-Man in the past and was very pleased. They did NOT disappoint. The grinder pump issue is now on its way to being back to where it needs to be. You can only imagine how much anxiety a family can have when it comes to a grinder pump. David and his team put our minds at ease, and things are up and running thanks to their diligence and skill. Thank y'all so much.

Pricing model is confusing and expensive. $214 for two $5 parts and 20 min of a technicians time. Tech got defensive when I questioned the total cost after he was finished.

They have great communications. They follow up with text and or email providing updates on your appointment and who will arrive and when. The 2 guys that fixed our drain pipe worked hard and got it fixed that day. They had to dig about 4-5 feet down, cut out the cracked pipe, remove the roots, replace the pipe, bed the pipe and add copper sulfate to keep the roots from returning.

Great, quick service! I realized at around 10pm that we had no hot water. Called Rooter-Man and got a real human representative, even at that time of night. They put us on the call list for the next day, and we got a call back at 8am confirming that a tech would be out that day. We got a text with a map and live-updating ETA. Curtis K. arrived, took a look at our water heater, and knew right away that it was the gas control valve. He had a new one in his truck and installed it within the hour. Easy as that!

Needed leak detection done in a hurry to address a leak that was racking up some HUGE water bills. Rooterman sent someone over right away to help ID the issue. Curtis sent me a text to let me know he was on his way and when he arrived got right to work. He quickly identified the issue (which a plumber who visited the house earlier failed to ID) and explained what to do. Because the leak is connected to our irrigation system, rm couldn't repair themselves, but at least I now know where the leak is coming from and Curtis turned off the water to that system to avoid further costs! Thank you Curtis!

VERY satisfied.  They gave a quote to repair a leak from my main water line yesterday and the work is completed as of today. It is a 2 inch pipe and those are rare.  The work was harder than they thought it would be but they stuck with the original quote and made no attempt to change the price.  THAT is what a good company does.

Alan T. the assigned plumber to my appointment was on time, professional, and quite knowledgeable. He confirmed that while the hoses to my single faucet were installed properly, the deck plate cover however, could be adjusted. Again, he was most informative when I inquired about  replacing/improving my water softener and provided an estimate. I told Alan that after the holidays I will contact  Rooter-Man to schedule an upgrade and installation. Thank you Alan and thank you Brittany for your office professionalism as well.

I made a next day appointment with Rooter-Man Austin and am satisfied with my service. Eddie came out and did a great job. He was on time and texted when he was on his way.

I had a broken water heater in the house and he explained to me what was going on. He broke down the cost for two options and let me decide. He wasn't pressuring.

He went back to the office to pick up a water heater and installed it for me. He cleaned up and explained to me how to use the heater if need be.

He also gave me a sweet discount on the water heater. I highly recommend Eddie and Rooter-Man Austin for any plumbing needs.

We knew we had a water leak but didn't know where it was. Curtis discovered the leak and fixed it quickly. First, he informed us of what repairs were needed, the cost, and the timeframe. We are very happy with the job he did and will be glad to work with Rooterman (and Curtis) next time we need a plumber.

Quoted $300-500 to screw my gas grill into the gas spigot on my patio. This is a 5 minute job that I've had done before. While I get they'd have a minimum of an hour charge of something, this is an outrageous estimate.

After calling 4 other plumbers and getting 4d+ expectations for a Plumber Rooter-Man answered and was able to have someone out immediately for a leak we found that day. I didn't have a complex issue but it was still great service, quick, professional, and thorough review of what happened and how to prevent. Would recommend and use in the future.

We recently became homeowners and moved in. Lo and behold, not too long after, we started having a mysterious leak into our garage after one of the showers (said to have had a leak and been repaired before we bought the home) started dripping. Plumbing issues only tend to get worse over time as you ignore it, so we decided to nip it in the bud before it was bad. Turned out not to be as bad as I was worried it'd be; our tech, Collen, showed up. Super friendly guy, very funny and professional-- he was able to pinpoint the issue pretty much as soon as he took a look at the leak and then the 'recently repaired' tub. Collen McBride was very honest and to the point, explained the issue clearly, and what he'd have to do to assess the problem and then fix it. This is one of those cases where I am more than happy to pay a little bit more for a professional who can do it right the first time. I'll have to replace my water heater probably later this year or next year, and so I know I'll be requesting Collen again.

Curtis was awesome! Called Rooter-Man on a Saturday to come out and fix 2 leaking sinks and stabilize a toilet -it wasn't an emergency but I was happy that David picked up the phone on the weekend.  

Curtis communicated to me what was wrong with the sinks, and let me know how he would stabilize the toilet before doing the work. He worked quickly and was reasonable with final price. When he sent the invoice, he included pictures of the repairs which was great to have for records.

He also helped me figure out what to do for a leak causing high water bill, checking the meter to see what might be the cause which he said was from the sprinkler system and not in the house, and since he does not repair sprinkler systems, he advised me to call a leak detection service.

I like that he knew his limits and he did a great job doing what he did. Highly recommend!

My latest experience included the use of the excavation team, Warren Johnson, and Mario Serna.

These guys are the true definition of teamwork. They were wonderful to work with.  Always had a smile on their faces and listened to the customer. You don't want to lose them.

I would literally give them 10   (like I mention previously)... this is the second time I called them and they save my life twice! Im so impressed by the staff and quality... Thank you Curtis for your expertise, knowledge, honesty but mostly for your awesomeness!!!
Simply excellence!

He was professional, courteous and extremely nice. I am so grateful he found the source of an issue we've been having for 3 years and that all other companies missed! I also love and respect that this is a veteran run company. I will definitely be using them again!

Rooter-Man is an exceptional company when it comes to communication, quality, and professionalism. We called Rooter-Man to come perform one task at our house, but due to unforeseen existing conditions, we had complications pop up left and right. Fortunately, we had Don helping us. Not only was he dedicated to working through those complications, but also he was very knowledgable, transparent, patient, and friendly throughout the entire visit. We feel we got top quality service and feel confident in the work which we ultimately had performed on our house. Thank you Don and thank you Rooter-Man.

Eddie showed up today 8/19 on time with good text communication of when to expect him.  He fixed the leak and let me know not to use bleach tablets which was causing the continued issue (years of this).  I have had many plumbers over the years fix the deteriorated part but never explain what was causing the problem.  Really appreciate that Eddie asked if I was using bleach tablets because that can cause the problem.  YEARS of this.  Thanks Eddie!  He was friendly, professional, quick and on time.  5 stars for Eddie.

Ridiculous prices!! I got Rooter Man to come round as I had a water leak out the front of the house. The guy on the phone said someone would be round as quickly as possible, which is awesome. He failed to mention that for them just to show up at my house was $80. The guy literally did NOTHING, he just looked at the pathetic hole I'd already tried digging myself, said what it MIGHT be and pulled some number out around $1200-1300 as a quote. The problem was a cracked valve on the pipe. When I said no to the price he quoted, he then informed me I owed him $80. When I say nothing was done, literally nothing, I find it ludicrous to charge $80!

I went with another company who came out just as quick, looked into the problem for free and then quoted me a price one quarter of the price!

Byron was assigned to our job (water heater issue), and was very knowledgeable on what was going wrong and next steps we needed to take. We needed to replace our water heater and he got it done same day, was gone by the early afternoon. Will definitely use Rooter-Man again with any future issues

Today was the second great experience I had with Rooter-Man.  I have had mixed to bad results with other plumbers, but both times R-M set up appointments quickly, showed up on time, got their work done quick and efficiently, and charged a very reasonable price for the quality and professionalism of their services.

Today I was really pleased with Eddie's service because I am concerned with people coming in my house during the Covid-19 pandemic.  Eddie was respectful, professional, wore his mask/PPE and kept a distance while making me feel like a valued Customer.  

Companies build bonds in moments like this, and I will always be a fan of R-M plumbing for their great service; especially during weird times like these.  A+++

I had another great visit from Rooter-Man Austin for a different plumbing issue. Our plumber was Collen, who was wonderful and very knowledgeable. He's fully capable of doing the hard, icky jobs - crawling in tight spaces, spiders, rats, roaches, sewage, he's got you covered! I'm so happy to finally have a quality plumbing company in my back pocket. I had to try another company during the Big Freeze of 2021 and let's just say I'm not going to review them cause I've got nothing nice to say.

I called another company when my high water alarm went off on my septic system.  They replaced a pump and said it was fixed.  A day later, we noticed the alarm going off and the pump running continuously.  When I called the other company, they said they could not come back for four days because it was New Years weekend.  
This is when I called Rooter-Man.  Minutes after speaking to their call center, I received a call from the owner who trouble-shooted the problem over the phone and resolved my problem.  Septic system and alarm are back in service.  All this on New Years Day!  Now that is customer service!
Rooter-Man will be my first choice for future septic or plumbing problems!

Rooter Man Austin are the heroes in our household today! If they weren't so fast in coming out, we might of not been able to shower today. I called today and Eddie came out in 2 hours to help. Explained everything thoroughly and fixed my shower and 2 toilets.  Totally professional and fast. Made sure everything was tracked on repairs  and walked me through again and how to prevent the next break downs.

I would definitely use Rooter Man again and my trust is in Eddie!  Great jobs guys and thank you!

We called Rooter-Man Austin for a second opinion after our home warranty provided contractor quoted us $2400.00 to repair a broken toilet flange.  The first plumber quickly assessed that he would need to jackhammer our floor to fix the flange and we would be left to take care of repairing the floor ourselves.  What?  NO thank you!

Jason with Rooter-Man Austin came out the following day and told us what he needed to do to fix the issue.  We approved the work and around 45 minutes later, he was done with the job.  Jason was courteous, friendly, and knowledgable.  

We're happy we found Rooter-Man Austin.  Not only did they save us $1900.00, we now feel like we have an honest plumber to work with in the future, and one we can refer to our friends and neighbors.

Absolutely the best plumber I have ever used. Eddie saved the day!

After a DIY Water heater replacement, I had water pressure issues in kitchen sink and the shower, so clearly something went wrong. I messaged via the online system at 6:30 pm and got a call first thing in the morning saying they could come that day. They gave me a 2 hour window (not 6 like other places!)  Eddie arrived and he was knowledgable, extremely friendly, down to earth and definitely knew his stuff. He diagnosed the issue thoroughly and gave us a solution and a very fair quote in less than an hour. All while wearing gloves, booties and a facemask to ensure his protection and ours during COVID.

When he came back to do the work, it was done perfectly and professionally. We had to replace the tub/shower, pipes and all. Not only was his work done well, but he even said, I don't like this one, I'll go get you a better one and went to get a different tub spout that looked better and was better quality. It was so nice to have someone care how something looked and worked in MY house.

In a world where contractors seem to want to do the bare minimum to get the job done, Eddie is a diamond in the rough.  I have been a homeowner for 15 years and have had quite a few things replaced. This was by far my best experience. THANK YOU EDDIE and Rooter-Man!

Update......

The customer service of Rooter man plumbing is good. Their customer service manager contacted me to understand what my concern was. His attitude on solving the concern I had was good. They do care about their customer I'm sure now, and I will recommend Root man plumbing to my friends if my friends need help on plumbing stuff.

----------------------

What I experienced was that I was told the price range should be around $1500~$1800 over a phone call for replacing a water heater based on the area I live and how old water heater I had. So I agreed to let them send their plumber to my house for the replacement even though my old water heater was still functioning.

However, the quotation the plumber gave me was $1937  after his quick assessment in my garage. I was surprised to the quote the plumber gave me, so I told him what the price range their representative told me. But it did not resolve the price issue and the plumber said I have to pay his company $79 if I did not let him work on the water heater replacement.

If the plumber quoted me $1800 for replacing my water heater and I did not let him work on the replacement, I would pay the $79 for the service call without any question.

Finally I paid $1937 to this company for the water heater replacement but I do feel very uncomfortable about the incorrect information their representative provided. This just happened last week.

Updating the review because the manager called me back and explained. They're unable to perform work on high-rises because their insurance doesn't cover them. That's fine with me, but it's a pity that I wasn't able to work with them.

My grinder pump alarm was activated, so I needed to call a professional out to see what the problem was. I made the mistake of calling a different company first, and wasting $89 for them to do nothing. I called Rooter Man next. A plumber showed up an hour later. They fixed my grinder pump an hour after that. I paid them money. They did a good job. Highly recommended.

I'll also add, they're super professional. I had to leave the house, and when I got back they were already gone. They took photos of the issue, gave a synopsis of what was wrong and how it was fixed, and then sent me the bill. Very easy and stress free. Thank you!

As the most recent hurdle in trying to get my property ready for resale, my pipes decided to spring a leak right at the edge of the sidewalk.   After seeing the excellent reviews, I reached out to Rooter-Man to get it looked at.  

They had someone out to me the same day, he found out what the problem was and told me what was involved in the repair.  He was completely transparent with what needed to be done, pricing and the estimate and the problem was fixed roughly 5 hours later.

They were definitely the right people for the job.

We expected company later this evening (Labor Day weekend), but  discovered a leak under the kitchen sink. I worried that I would need to cancel our plans, but called Rooter-Man Austin and they were able to send a technician to help us out. Collen was able to put us on his schedule and even came early! He was very friendly, professional and accommodated our needs. He fixed the leak in no time and we were able to keep our plans. I have not used Rooter-Man Austin before, but will definitely use them again in the future. Thanks, Collen!

The owner-David-is a really fun guy that knows exactly what he is doing and checks the city work. His employees are clearly treated well as they are all really polite, hard workers, respectful of each other, and knowledgeable. Colin and Allen worked here today and we're still cheerful after 8 hours of digging: clearly people who love what they do! I could say so much more but I just hope anyone who reads this hires this company. Many thanks David, Colin, and Allen!!

I called to have the septic pumped and was able to get an appointment fast.  Byron was great.  I had no idea where the access was to get to the tank, but he took care of everything.  He found the access, and had the job done in no time.  He also answered all the questions I had, he's extremely knowledgeable, and was patient - I kept thinking of more things to ask, but he didn't mind.
He told me about a process called hydro jetting, that clears old pipes of debris, and since my house is old, I'm going to make an appointment for that coming up.  
Highly recommend Rooter-Man Austin.

Update - 7-1-2020 - Curtis continues to uphold the reputation of this company!  I had him fix a leaking bathtub. He did it quickly and efficiently. He even made it so that I felt completely safe, doing most of the communication and payment over the phone and email. In these crazy times, it's great to see a high quality plumber who is adapting to the environment we live in. And of course, I rest easy knowing the plumbing is now in top notch shape!

Old Review: Eddie and Allen were fantastic!  They're very professional, yet friendly. When they entered my home, they removed their shoes and made sure all their work tools didn't bang against anything. I had two toilets installed, as well as a drain snaked and everything is still working great, two weeks later.

I also really appreciate the text communication and photo of who will be arriving. That little detail really adds a lot of trust.

I came home to the smell of sewage in my home and noticed residue in my tubs and dirty water on the floor. I called Rooter-Man and the wonderful woman who answered the phone encouraged me to find and open my clean out so that no more backflow would take place into my home. One of their techs, Byron, had just finished up and would be over in 30 minutes.

Byron was absolutely amazing! He waded through the mess and got setup to unblock the pipe. After the water resided he got out the video camera to inspect the pipe and ensure the blockage was removed. He noted several areas of the pipe that had been broken due to tree roots. He also noticed that there was a piece of PVC pipe that was lodged inside so he retrieve the previous tool he used to unblock the pipe and worked until he was able to successfully follow the pipe with the video camera to ensure it was clear to the city connection.

I was so impressed at his work ethic as he could've easily stopped once the water dropped, but he continued on ensuring that i had ample time to get the problem fixed.  Excellent customer service, integrity and value!  

I would certainly call them again and am so grateful i did!

We were having trouble with tree roots in our sewer line. My line is buried under a composite gravel driveway. Estimates for a conventional repair were over $6000. I found out about Rooter Man's trench less pipe relining. David came out personally to diagnose the problem and offer a solution. He also performed the repair. With his 20 years of experience I was very confident in his abilities. I saved a bunch of money, didn't have to dig up my driveway, and my sewer line is good as new. Would definitely call him for any plumbing needs.

Had to call someone to finally fix a slow drain. Came equipped with a camera, snake, and pressure  washing jet.  He showed me with the camera how plugged up it was with grease, snaked the drain, showed me again with the camera that it was still in bad shape.

We agreed to jet it and he showed me again with the camera. Yes it costs extra but so does the four other trips from the others that never really fixed the problem.

Totally worth it!

We rent and needed to have our toilet replaced, and despite a frustrating situation of working in the middle with our landlord, Eddie did great work. He was honest and efficient and even offered direct on-call contact for Saturday in the event we weren't able to get the go ahead we needed to have the work done today (Friday).

Once we had the go ahead, Eddie was quick to get a toilet purchased and installed for us. He was friendly, personable, and thorough. In general our experience with Rooter-Man was great, and I would absolutely recommend their work

Eddie came by and fixed a shower issue I was having. Got a same day appointment after inquiring over the phone. He did a great job, explained everything he did along the way, and as an added bonus was just a super nice guy. He also let me know that I should have my tankless water heater flushed (new home owner, I have no idea about these things) and I'm going to be using them again for that.

100% satisfied!

Water heater (thermocouple) went out so called rooter-man to come fix it. Was happy to hear they could come later in the day (I called when they first opened). Person that came out did the same thing I had already done- tried to light the pilot light, and it shocker, would not light. He then called his master plumber who said we have too old of a water heater and it would need to be fully replaced at $1800. I told them I would get a second opinion as we have had zero issues with our heater until that point.

Called another plumber and our water heater is UNDER WARRANTY and we got it fixed (the thermocouple like I had said) for free. FOR FREE.

I will be reporting this company to BBB. They charged me $79 to tell me that my in warranty water heater was too old and needed to be fully replaced.

Update:
David the master plumber reached out and explained that the technician that came out was new and did not troubleshoot correctly. He also offered to make it right by refunding the charge. I appreciate taking ownership of the mistake and using this as a learning moment for the new technician.

This is by far the best experience I have had using a plumbing service. After having been lied to by another company(Strand Brothers) for two days and being strung along, I was desperately looking for a plumber. I called Rooter-Man on a Friday afternoon and explained my frustration with the previously mentioned company and they showed up today at 8am. I got a text message that my plumber was heading our way, and also a message that they arrived(right on time). The plumber was quick, thorough, professional and did an excellent job. I was in the know, the entire process, which is not something I ever had when I booked Strand Brothers(Never use them!) previously. Thank you Rooter-Man for your excellent service, communication and professionalism. I would give y'all 10x stars if I could on yelp. I highly recommend everyone use Rooter-Man!!!

I owe Rooter-Man an apology for not calling them first. Alan showed up on time, carefully listened to my explanation of the problem, then went to work. Inside of 30 minutes cleared up a sewer drainage issue that had been lingering for two weeks. Their 3-lettered competitor not only failed to correct the problem but charged me a substantial fee and wanted a grand to keep trying. I highly recommend calling Rooter-Man first. Thank you Rooter-Man!

These guys were amazing during the Winter Storm.  We had multiple burst pipes and a dead water heater. Eddie is super knowledgeable, was there to help us out even on a weekend, made sure everything was working and cleaned up before leaving.  We've also used them in them past for routine inspections and minor plumbing issues, never had a complaint.

I am extremely satisfied with the service I received with Eddie from Rooter-Man Austin. He was able to come out immediately when I called after I had difficulty scheduling with another plumber I had already received a quote from. The previous plumber told me that to replace my tub spout he would have to open up my wall, and quoted me $750 for the job. Eddie completed the repair in 20 minutes without opening the wall for less than 25% of the cost. He was honest, dependable and timely. He will be my go to plumber from now on!

I am a repeat customer to Rooter Man.  Recently I had some plumbing issues that were more complicated than I bargained for.  Byron came out quickly to help me out.  His work was fast and expertly done.  He was able to troubleshoot the issues and fix them with no problems.  I can't  give them enough stars, I never have to worry about bad workmanship or overpriced services.

Thanks!

We just finished a full bathroom remodel and  immediately had issues with slow to no draining of water from any of the fixtures.  I was able to make a next day appointment and am so glad I did.  Eddie came by and was able to diagnose the problem and resolve it within hours.  Not only that he was able to show me on camera what the problem was.  It turns out the contractors  did not cover the toilet flange hole when they did the floor demolition and several of the tiles were clearly visible after he busted out the blockage.  Not only did he do the job for what I consider a very reasonable rate I will now be holding back the repair cost from the retainer on the remodel job.  Rooter-Man Austin is definitely going to be my go to plumbers for any future jobs.

In the past I've had a frustrating track record with plumbers--they can be hard to schedule and the quality of the work can be questionable. Rooter-man definitely deserves a five-star rating, and I'm glad I chose them when we suddenly found ourselves with a backed-up sewer line.

From the very beginning, calling their scheduling/dispatch line was smooth and pleasant. When Curtis showed up, he was diligent in helping us explore the issue (which ended up being more than a simple pipe-unplugging) and figure out a resolution plan. While under the house, he brought another frightening issue to our attention and helped us get it fixed quickly. I feel that he cared a lot about getting our problems resolved, doing quality work, leaving everything clean and tidy, and keeping our costs down.

It's good to know that I now have a plumber service that I can trust in case we run into anything in the future.

I just moved in and needed to get my water heater replaced per inspection report.  Eddie was sent to do the job.  He did a great work from carefully explaining what kind of water heater I needed to installing and how the new water heater works.  Additionally, he was very knowledgeable in answering the questions that I had about the water heater.  The Rooter-Man office was very good with communication and organizing appointments.  I would definitely call him and Rooter-Man again for plumbing work.

I had a super simple quick plumbing repair job, replacement of a broken lavatory faucet shut off valve.  Something I could hav3 ESI,y done myself but for the condo association not allowing m3 to shut off the water to the building even for a few minutes.  The good news is that the service was great...made the appointment on time and completed the repairs quickly and satisfactorily.  The surprising and bad news is that 5hey charged me $250 for a job that took 30-40 minutes.  I did not know this until after the repairs had been completed.

Great service! They booked us the next day and texted when they were in their way with a picture. The plumber had a mask, kept his distance, switch shoes at the door and wore shoe liners in the house.
He diagnosed the problem, fixed it and was done less than an hour later. I paid on his IPad, no contact, receipt by email.
Perfect service, he was very polite, and made the whole process painless. We will use them again! Thank you

Unfortunately, I had to call a plumber again as my water heater was leaking. I figured I'd call Rooter-man since they did such a great job with my shower repair last month.

First, they went out of their way to help me on short notice-- it was Friday afternoon and they could have just let me risk it until Monday (or do without hot water).  They didn't.  They sent Jason who came promptly, addressed the problem, and immediately set me up for a new water heater. Professional, courteous, and efficient.

I have had some bad experiences in the past with contractors and other repair groups which is why I am really grateful.  Two awesome experiences within a month of each other.  Thanks, Rooter-Man!

I am one of hundreds that had busted pipes during this 2021 winter storm. My pipes busted on Monday, I called every plumber on Mon and Tuesday and left VMs and emails. I knew it was going to be tough to get an appt for a plumber due to the crisis. On Wednesday evening, Rooterman called and we set an appt for Thursday morning.
Eddie arrived on time, was courteous of my floors and took his shoes off as he entered,  he quoted prices up front, wore his mask, was very polite and social distanced himself. He found the leaks and fixed my pipes in a timely matter.

Thank you, Rooterman and Eddie

I really appreciate Karl's expertise, efficiency and professionalism and I'm delighted to have this resolved so quickly!

Curtis came to help me after I smelled some gas around my hot water heater. He was prompt, courteous and professional. Best of all, he fixed the leak at a very low cost. He seemed experienced and really garnered a lot of trust from me. Home repairs give me serious anxiety, and it's so hard to find the right places when you need work done. Luckily I found Rooter-Man, Curtis will be my go-to from now on.

David has been here twice now for two completely separate issues.  First - a jammed garbage disposal & faucet issue.  Second - a total nightmare job in the cold and rain,

I received a $900 water bill.  Yup, there's a leak somewhere. :(. After the City of Austin water people came out to investigate and shut my water off, I called Rooter Man and explained my rather desperate situation.  They said they'd be out within the hour.  And they were.

David showed up and started investigating the work to be completed.  He showed me exactly what was wrong, what needed to be done, and explained what caused it.  It was a difficult job because of the way the pipes were initially installed (stupid cheapo builder) and right under the fence line next to a post.  Yikes.  To top it off, it was a muddy mess not only because of the leak, but it was also 36* & raining.  Fun!

A few hours later, my leak is fixed, I have water, and he even replaced my exterior spigots without gouging me.  All in all, a fair price in a fairly desperate situation.  Excellent work and customer service.  I felt bad that he was covered in mud, but then I thought about it.  Plumbers probably don't mind that.  I don't know...maybe...maybe not...

What an amazing customer experience I was provided today!  Exceeded my expectations!  We had a water heater go out and Eddie, the plumber, was quick to diagnose the problem, show us what was wrong and make recommendations. He needed to have two water heaters delivered and I was really impressed to find out that the owner of the company took it upon himself to bring the units and help install the quickly.  Much appreciated!

Eddie also noticed her water pressure was lower than he had expected it to be. He quickly diagnosed that the water softener had gone out and was constricting our water pressure!

Best customer service I've ever had from a plumbing company!

After waiting for over 24 hours for a return call from another plumber, I called Rooter-Man and got an immediate answer. Technician arrived within an hour and promptly replaced my 25 year old kitchen faucet valves. In the process, Eddie, polite and informative, showed me two more future repairs and prioritized them for me. He also advised me in solving a longtime flow problem with my kitchen faucet. Shortly after he left, I received emails with pictures of needed repairs parts and the costs. Prompt, polite, informative, thorough and work completed at quoted price. I would call Rooter-Man again!

Curtis & crew were able to come out next day, investigate and install a new toilet flange (same day) onto a sewer inlet that was 6 inches below my concrete sub floor. Tough job as he was able to remove cement around the buried sewer inlet, without destroying my tile, install a offset PVC flange, quick-dry cement it back, and install a new toilet and carry away the old. I wasn't even home, wife was, they shared pictures and she said they were very professional. Would recommend.

Had a main line stoppage and found Rooter-Man on Yelp. Eddie was able to make it out quickly and diagnosed the issue and got things working again quickly. He also found a carbon monoxide leak in my water heater which could have been a much worse issue.

I had a home warranty and Eddie stuck around while we waited on hold just to help me out in dealing with these people. I really appreciate the extra service and his time in looking out to make sure they took of my issues. Highly recommend Eddie and the company he works for.

Curtis did an outstanding job installing a new water heater to upgrade my house to the current plumbing code. His strong work ethic and pride in customer service showed in how meticulously he fitted the new unit, required piping, and insulation. His attention to detail and positive attitude was a joy to observe and learn from. Great job, Rooter-Man Austin team!

I read many of the reviews and was impressed by the number of positive reviews. My upstairs bathtub leaked through the kitchen ceiling so I decide to give a try on this company. The appointment was set on the same day between 2pm and 4pm. The dispatcher called around noon and said the repair person can come early and He did. It was Curtis who came to my home and I told him I read many recommendations about him. Curtis is good he quickly ruled out many possibilities and found the overflow drainage cover was loose and caused the leakage. He cut a hole in the ceiling and removed the sheetrock and insulation that have mold. And help me get in touch with the Dry Force to handle the mold and drying. The service charge is very reasonable and I am very happy with the company.

Curtis came out to my place to do a diagnostic and attempted to rip me off for services that I did not want.  Fortunately, his service manager interjected and honored the price $79 diagnostic fee that they originally agreed on with me.  He did nothing that I couldn't do myself and I feel that
the money spent with him was wasted.  Plumbers are just so slimy.

The funny thing is that I was taken aback so much that I didn't even look at the quote they gave me which would have actually been ok with me, but I was so discombobulated by their blatant attempt to rip me off.

I cannot imagine this being the first time they did this and i am starting to lose faith in YELP, being that YELP gives this place 5 stars.  What a joke!!  There must be tons of company or fake reviews out there.

Eddie is amazing, he's come out for a few things and has improved our lives, water-wise. On his first visit to reinstall a sink and disposal during some renovations, he noticed our water pressure wasn't great (the sink work was fantastic, by the way, I'd had to leave town unexpectedly and he saved my wife from a kitchen-sinkless existence). He also installed a toilet for us during the same renovation. And today, he came and fixed that water pressure issue he'd noticed at the start. It's amazing, I guess the pressure had reduced for so long we didn't notice it at first. Now, pressure. Shower doesn't drop if the washing machine runs or a toilet flushes. We are back in the modern world thanks to Eddie and Rooter-Man (a shout out to the people who answer the phone there, as well, so friendly and professional).

We had a pressure control valve issue with our new house. I submitted the quote request on Yelp and the next day had Eddie come out, exactly on time and fix the issue.

He was very transparent about the issue, and the fix. He quoted the price on the spot and then all payment and invoicing was done digitally.

Eddie was in and out quickly, and the valve was fixed!

10/10 would hire again, thanks Eddie!

We had an unexpectedly big issue to address, but we trusted his recommendations and got a very fair price considering the work involved. He took Covid precautions seriously as well, which is important to my family. Issues often pop up in a 40-year-old home, and Rooter-Man is the first Austin plumbing company I've trusted to help me budget and prioritize appropriately.

By the time I hung up the phone with them, they showed up at my door.

Impressed with the commitment to customer satisfaction. I'll be using Rooter-Man for future plumbing projects.

I had a small leak and a clogged disposal so it's not like it  was a real disaster to say but very annoying rather and starting to stink up my kitchen. I decided to trust the reviews on yelp and give Rooter Man plumbing company a chance I had already been through the bigger name guys and always have to wait a day or two for response unless it's a flood . I was pleasantly surprised when I called Rooter-Man they gave me a 30-40 min time frame and made it to my house on time . Eddie was the responder who arrived and was very pleasant and polite he promptly pin pointed the issues and fixed them immediately. He also demonstrated multiple times that there would be no more leak and also instructed me on how to properly unclog and cleans disposal. Good response time, polite, got the job done correctly and in decent time . Nothing to complain about give them a shot  I had an excellent experience therefore I give five stars.

Eddie just left. Did great work. Replaced pressure regulator. Got here on time and job was quick. We tested it before and after and my irrigation system is working again. When that was done he had a quick look at one of my toilets that's having problems and gave me an estimate to replace. Also advised me to pay attention to water heater, which is nearing end of useful life and is in the attic. I'll definitely call Rooter-Man back and I like that they are vet-owned.

Eddie was absolutely amazing. I had a water line burst outside my house. Not only did Eddie show up ahead of schedule, but he managed to dig up the pipe and replace the faulty connections in lightning fast speed. Eddie did a great job of explaining the situation to me ahead of time and explained any possible extra costs based on what he might discover. Thankfully the price was on the lower end of the spectrum! Excellent customer service ability and always had a sense of honesty from Eddie's demeanor. Thanks for everything guys!

This was my first time using Rooter Man and I was really impressed. I called on a Saturday night around 10:30 pm, and a very kind person answered the phone and took my information. She relayed this to the technician, Eddie, who called me back in about 5 mins to understand more about the job, schedule it, and give me an estimate. It was a routine job, so it was nice to have a dollar figure in mind before he showed up. He arrived on Sunday morning around 9 am and called to let me know he was on his way. He listened while I explained the issue and then quickly solved the problem. He then made other preventive recommendations, in a very no-pressure way. It was clear that he was all about helping me manage my issue in a cost effective way and not selling me something. I will definitely be calling Eddie again for my  plumbing needs!

Eddie from Rooter Man came by yesterday to help us with a clogged sink. The previous owner of our home had done the plumbing himself and to put it lightly it was a mess. Eddie was able to help us dislodge a clog that was so bad that the water pressure alone was causing the garbage disposal's engine to bind. Scheduling was super easy and Eddie was fast, extremely professional and didn't charge an arm and a leg for the service. If you need work done try to request him!

Thank you Rooter-Man for the excellent service! Our service man, Eddie was very thorough and reassuring. He had a big job ahead of him upgrading and installing our new water heater and bringing us up to code, without make us feel judged for all the DIYs we had done over the years. He did a great job of breaking everything down for us and the cost. He worked all afternoon and had us all enjoying hot showers that evening. We found our new plumbing service.

With all of the craziness going on with COVID-19 I wasn't sure what to expect when our drain backed up this weekend. However, these concerns were alleviated as soon as I checked the website and the company's policies was clearly stated. True to their word, the technician called within a few minutes and was on-site in about half an hour. Rooter-man even texted me before his arrival and sent a picture for identification. Eddie fixed the immediate issue and took the time to explain what would be needed for a permanent fix, all the while adhering to social distancing policies. I really appreciate Eddie's level of professionalism throughout the whole visit. 5 stars all the way!

A pipe burst on Thursday and flooded part of our house before we could turn the main water supply off. We did not know the source of the burst. Was it a water pipe running underneath the foundation? Was it something inside the house? Needless to say, dealing with a flooded house and no water supply (what with coronavirus circulating around and all those hand washing guidelines to adhere to) was stressful.

Come Friday, we called 5 different plumbing companies around Austin. None had time. Everyone was booked solid until the following week. No way we could carry on using bottled water until then. Rooter-Man was an exception. They said they could come take a look. Jason from Rooter-Man came on time and within 5 minutes had the problem diagnosed. It turned out to be a connecting pipe inside our hot tub that had come apart. Jason fixed it within 15 minutes and water supply was back on! This is an example of outstanding work. When people say 'He/She is good at what they do' this is what they mean.

Exceptional service delivered on time with knowledgeable personnel. The definition of an exemplary business!!

Recently experienced a slight plumbing emergency, and Rooter-Man was the first to make it out AND had the best prices. Once we signed off on everything, our technician Curtis showed up early and knocked everything out in no time. Couldn't ask for more than that.

Let me just start with these guys are honest, effective, personable, and responsive.
That said, I first contacted them over 5 years ago when I was told my septic tank would need to be replaced as it was too old to repair.
David at Rooter Man was not convinced, and he was able to completely restore the septic tank's functionality!
Not only did this save me as much as $20k for a new septic system, it also prevented the disruption of having to move out of the house for 2 weeks or more while the new system would have been installed and inspected.

5 years later, still working like a champ.

They were out this morning (again, very responsive) for routine maintenance, and Byron took great care of my system. He told me the system looks great and gave me a few pointers to keep it that way.

Do yourself a favor and call these guys FIRST for any septic needs!

My septic alarm was going off (very annoying).  Six months ago I had experienced the same problem and called a different plumber / septic company.  I wanted to use someone else this time and, after searching through reviews, was fortunate enough to find Rooter-Man.  From the Scheduler to the two plumbers who arrived the next day I couldn't be happier.  If I could give them six stars I would.  My lead plumber was Byron and I'm now a customer for life.  I'm going to use them for all of my plumbing and septic needs, from now on!

Although slightly over priced for the work, I have to give them 5 stars. Jason, our tech, came out and took care of our sink install job with ease. Also caught a leak and electrical issue with our current disposal. Probably saved us from a fire! Very satisfied with the work. This after our terrible experience with ARS/Home Depot's contractors. Pics of the before and after.

Eddie and Mike came out to today to provide an estimate of a water heater replacement.  They were honest and clear with what needed to be done, providing cost effective recommendations.  They were punctual and even finished ahead of schedule, cleaning up and explaining what was done and how to use the new water heater.  Thanks so much for your hard work! We will definitely call you guys out again!

Wish I could give more stars!

Wow!
I got up this morning and my wife heard some gurgling when she took her shower...
I had Brown water backing up into the bathtub...

I picked up the phone and started looking for plumbers on Yelp...

I left messages at 3 different plumbing companies...
In less than 5 minutes I got a callback from   Rooter-Man...
Within 30 minutes Eddie was here...
And within less than 45 minutes from the time I picked up the phone the problem was solved and he was on his way!

Oh and it was a couple hours before I got any kind of a call back from the other two companies!!!

This is the way plumbing services are meant to work!

My kitchen sink clogged on a Saturday evening - couldn't wash dishes by hand, couldn't run the dishwasher. Not an emergency, but definitely a huge inconvenience. Tried plunging and snaking it myself but no luck - figure the clog must be further down or just too much for the little, manual snake that I used. I called Rooter-Man and provided details to their answering service. Got a call back within an hour - they could have someone out first thing Sunday morning - sold!

Eddie showed up on time and did a great job of clearing the clog. Super nice guy - very professional and conscientious about cleaning up and making sure there were no drips, etc. I got to watch as he ran the camera down after clearing the blockage. Grease was the culprit - too much for the little snake I used and in a section of drain that was a bit off slope. We never put grease down the drain so it must have been the previous owners and/or tenants - thanks guys!

Anyway, sink is now draining and we can once again do dishes thanks to Eddie and Rooter-Man. Will definitely call Rooter-Man for all future plumbing needs.

Eddie was just the plumber we needed. He arrived early (on short notice), was helpful and courteous, had all the skills and parts necessary to complete our faucet install and reconnection of disposal and dishwasher. He noticed our low water pressure and took it upon himself to rectify by heading out into the yard, digging up and adjusting our pressure valve. We have 30+ more pounds of pressure because of his efforts!

I'm going to keep this short and sweet.
David with Rooter Man is fantastic.

He fought a difficult  (putting lightly) battle against a 40 some odd foot run of limestone nearly two feet thick. His phone was killed, my neighbors complained (the rock saw is loud), he at all times faced the certain dangers of a golf ball strike, and he just kept plugging away. We are finally off of septic, all thanks to SUPER Rooter Man.

Highly highly highly recommend!!!

When our old water heater went out, I contacted Rooter-Man based on their great Yelp reviews.  I was informed that one of their plumbers, Curtis Kurka, was available.  He arrived soon after, gave me a quote on a new water heater, and suggested other changes to bring it up to code.  Upon my approval he had it all installed that same afternoon.  I appreciate Curtis and Rooter-Man for the great work, and will use them again in the future.

Jason, the plumber attending to our call, diagnosed, repaired, and QAed our problem in less then 20 minutes. He was polite and professional. I really wish every service person would meet his standards.
The company itself was responsive and sent Jason out about one hour after I called. Customer Service was friendly.
If I encounter plumbing issues in the future these are the folks I will call.

We have used Rooter-Man a couple of times now, and they are definitely our go-to plumber from here on in. Eddie arrived on time, quickly identified the problem with our shower, explained it to us very clearly, and got it all fixed. He also gave us some good info about how to avoid a similar problem in the the future. He is super polite, very thorough and professional, and does great work.

If you want a plumber you can trust, and who will do the job right, look no further than Rooter-Man.

Quick note to say I had a very good experience.  Called at 8:30am, they were here by 2pm and Curtis was excellent.  Had a hose fixed and troubleshot an issue in the heater in no time and couldn't be friendlier.  I'll use them again for sure.

Eddie came out on a weekend when we suddenly had no hot water and the pilot light wouldn't start and there was water leaking. He already had a replacement water heater waiting in case it came to that (which it did) and he had it installed the same day. He was courteous and helpful.

We had no water to our house due to a shut off valve that broke.
We called Rooter-Man at 5:30 pm and had water back on by 7:30 pm thanks to Eddie. In addition, he saved us hundreds of dollars with his approach to the repair. Can't say enough about how grateful we are for the response and performance. (We had called two other numbers with very poor results prior to calling Rooter-Man!)

I am so thankful for Rooter-Man. We had a leak under one of our faucets. I called another plumber and they said I needed to buy a new fixture and have it installed for over $500 with a total out of pocket increase of likely $800+. We called Rooter-Man and they said they could simply replace the part that failed. My current plumber didn't want to do that. It turned out the part was under warranty and they ordered it and replaced it for under $150. So I saved around $750 or more by calling Rooter-Man. Thank you!

This was the experience I have had.  I had sewer line break on 12/23/2017.  Made an appointment for 4-8 p.m.
They called and moved the appointment to 9:30 12/24. Technician called and said I needed to spend $525 to pump out grinder pump. I told them I would put it out myself. 30 minutes later called and told them come on.  Tech said he was on another call.  Called dispatch and she said he would come as soon as he finished in Round Rock.  Called again and he was in Bastrop.  Dispatch called at 6:00 and said Tech was in route.  Called back at 8 pm.  No answer.  Dispatch called at 8:00 am was told they were running behind but would be there ASAP. Called after 9:00 Dispatch informed me they did not have the parts.  This the worst FUBAR in my life.
MERRY CHRISTMAS AND NO STARS

Do Not Recommend. Had leaking valve inside toilet. Jason said part might take weeks to order so we needed to replace the toilet. Verbally quoted us $268 to replace if we purchase the toilet and have it at our location when we rescheduled him to come back. When we got his email for the quote, it was $468, just to replace the toilet! Home Depot plumbers do it for $169! Jason wanted the $79 fee so we asked him to swap out the flush handle on 2nd toilet (we already had new handle we purchased from Home Depot). Jason said he couldn't get old flush handle off, so he adjusted it to work better. $79 for that. Well, we stupidly ordered toilet, ($172) but in the meantime, we called Ferguson's Plumbing Supply. They had at least 2 on the shelf at All of their locations! One location within 2 miles of our house. Jason never even checked!! So I picked one up for $25!! Shut off water to toilet, easily, again, easily replaced fill valve in less than an hour, had perfectly working toilet! Now have to cancel ordered toilet which is supposed to be arriving on Friday, 06/28/19.
Something wrong here, thought we were having a qualified, honest plumbing company come out! Being a Vietnam Vet, thought a veteran owned company might do better, but we see now that it's just a ploy to get business. Will never call this company ever again! What a joke! Really a no star company.

Our house had fluctuating water temperature and the visiting technician guessed that it was probably just because of the TX heat. He then tested the water pressure and adjusted the Pressure Regulator Valve (PRV). The total time at the house was maybe 10 minutes, and the bill was $220. He did NOT mention the cost before adjusting the PRV, which took maybe 30-45 seconds. After doing some research, most estimates say that a PRV adjustment should cost $103.53-$125.49. The cost, coupled with not being told about the cost upfront, felt a bit misleading.

Edit: I spoke with someone from the company and they adjusted the cost down to $125. This strong customer service definitely changed my mind about the overall rating.

Everything was great when working with Rooter-Man Austin. We were squeezed in and taken care of that same day. Eddie came out and helped us  unclog a main backup issue. Our home was functional again, but we still have additional plumbing work to do. That day he not only cleared the problem in less than an hour he saved us from buying a new toilet. We had scratched ours using a plumbing snake and thought we had ruined it. However, we learned that a pumice stone will most likely take the scratches out and it did. Thanks Eddie and Rooter-Man Austin staff for making this experience a positive one.

Finally decided to fix the plumbing at my condo.  Had a tub that drained slow and two toilets that needed the tank bolts replaced due to rust that kept coming out everytime I flushed.  I searched yelp and called up some plumbers, but most of them were very busy.  Finally Rooterman picked up the phone and a receptionist answered.

I got a quote to clear the drain, but the plumber would have to see the toilets in person to give me a quote for the rusted tank bolt replacement.  Surprisingly they had someone available the next day and I made the appointment.

Curtis gave me a call before heading there and showed up when he said he would. He checked out the tub and toilets.  The quotes were expensive but reasonable.

The shower tub drain turned out to be slow draining so there was no need to clear it.  I had used a plastic drain cleaning strip before and put a hairstopper on it so it was fine.  As for the tank bolts, Curtis got them out and replaced both of them.  Took about 2 hours.

I wish I could say everything was well after that, but the hose connecting to the tank was leaking after he left.  I texted him and he said he would come back the next day and look at it.  The following day he tightened the hose, but it was still leaking.  He then came back for a third trip and replaced the hose and other part.  Not sure what was wrong, but it was observed that one of the rubber washers had hardened and could have been causing the leak after it was disturbed.  After that, the toilet didn't leak.  Third time was the charm.

Overall, I had a good experience wth rooterman and I would definitely hire them again if I have any plumbing issues.  Curtis was amazing!

We were in the middle of having a dryer vent unblocked under the house when much to our horror and surprise, we found out that we also had a water leak under the house! We checked around, and determined that Rooter-Man could get to us the fastest...so we hollered HELP! Eddie came to our rescue on the double. Not only did he repair the original leak, but he showed us two other pinpoint leaks we had missed altogether! Scary...I wondered why my water bill had been so high! Eddie worked very quickly, with no wasted time; he was highly capable of explaining to us what the problem was, how it got that way, and what needed to be done to fix it. I would definitely call these guys back if/when future plumbing problems arise, and Eddie is my professional of choice on the job.
Also, in case it matters to you, the business owner is a vet; and I am honored to give my business to an American who has made the sacrifice to serve his country. Thank you, Rooter-Man!

Curtis had the problem diagnosed rather quickly, even though my main line was really really deep in my yard. The work was great and the price was fair. I'll definitely use them in the future

We had an emergency issue on a Saturday.  We live in a 50-year old two-story home and when we came downstairs we found that the entire downstairs had flooded.  Apparently we had  a main-line clog and after several showers upstairs, the water simply ran out of the downstairs shower drain.

I called our usual plumber (small plumbing tasks) and he said that a mainline clog was a little out of his league.  He had heard good things about Rooter-Man and suggested that we give them a call.

Eddie was out within 2 hours - something that I figured was ridiculously quick for a weekend.  We don't have a cleanout (old home) so Eddie dropped his camera down the shower drain and found the clog.  He was even able to snake the clog out through the shower drain instead of having to pull the toilet - something he wasn't sure he could do, but it worked and saved us a ton of money.  Hopefully we will never need their services again, but Rooter-Man is the first number in our book.

Added bonus, he was friendly and tidy. Highly recommend!

I am giving them one star because they did come out quickly.  A few weeks the alarm on the septic system in my house went off.  Two guys came out and worked on the pump.  The following was their report Pull Grinder or Ejector out of Pit for cleaning or troubleshooting for which they charged me $306.76.  Exactly two days later, the alarm went off again!  This time I called someone else since I did not trust Rooter-Man. What the other company did to resolve the issue was completely different and charged me substantially less.  The alarm has not gone off since.  I did call Rooter Man to complain but they refused to acknowledge their mistake and flooded me with technical jargon which of course I did not understand. Next time I will not be so quick to fall for someone just because they have 5 starts on Yelp.

From the time I called until their arrival was about 45 min!! Professional and friendly, Eddy and Dillon were positive but explained worst case with confidence I believed in.  They had to dig to fix my problem and could have said.. well it's 4p and we can return another day, but knowing this is a house with kids... they pushed on and completed my repair! This morning we are bathing and flushing with joy!!
Thank you guys for being our salvation last night!! Seriously thank you! Your efforts are greatly appreciated

Although I had to call them for the same problem twice, I'm still rating them 5 stars. They are prompt and professional and seem caring for the most part. The first attempt did not resolve the problem but the plumber told me that ahead of time I appreciated that. Apparently I needed a more major fix and Curtis came when the problem reappeared and hopefully it's good forever now.

We had a clog that was causing water to backup in the downstairs bathtub and toilet. I tried to fix it myself with a 25 foot auger but no success. I called Rooter Man and had an appointment set up for the following morning.

Eddie came out and knew immediately the clog was in the main line. He showed me where the main cleanout was (buried in the front yard), I had looked all over for it. The clog ended up being way more difficult to remove, but Eddie got it cleared out. He even ran a camera down as I watched to make sure we didn't have any breaks. Eddie had to get dirty and definitely went the extra mile. I appreciate his fast and friendly service and will go back to this business in the future.

We had a sewage line backup outside our house last Saturday. Rooter Man was able to get a technician to our house within a couple of hours. Curtis cleared the line and showed us that we had root intrusion into part of the sewage line (yaaaaay).

Curtis really went the extra mile. He spent some extra time with the camera and found a second break right where our drain meets the city line and gave us advice on how to handle that with the city.

Curtis was friendly, professional, and easy to work with. We would use Rooter Man again, and we'd ask for Curtis.

He also gave me a quote on a couple of other repairs while he was here.  I highly recommend Rooter-Man if you need it done right!

Eddie at Rooter-Man saved the day! A neighbor alerted me to a sewage leak on the side of our property. The first plumber came out and quoted me $600 just to get started running a line, he warned me it may be $5,000 at the end of the day (if they have to dig out and replace the whole sewer line.)

Wanting a second opinion we had rooter-men out. These guys immediately tried to clear the line, looked under the house to make sure there wasn't water there too. They worked at it for a while, with none of the doom forecast the other plumber had, and then Eddie came by and cleared the line after hours. I'm so impressed with the whole team and their dedication to doing the job despite all its obvious difficulties, not to mention Eddie coming by late afternoon just to make sure we are not worried about flushing toilets tonight!!

I was able to get an appointment within a few days of my initial request without issue. Eddie was very professional and knowledgeable.

I've found a plumbing company that I can trust, who does great work and who doesn't try to rip you off.  I've used them twice and couldn't be more impressed with both technicians (Jason and David).  Thank you, Rooter-Man!

Just wanted to give a shout out to Curtis for taking care of our leaking kitchen faucet. We had a major leak going on and he was there earlier than expected and took care of it quickly. We got notifications letting us know exactly when he'd be there. Great service and very professional. Thank you!

Plumbers did a great job. Came out same day for a break in main water line to the house. Eddie and Alan were polite and efficient. The whole job took less than 1.5 hours.
.
I question the cost. They charged what is standard in the Austin area for a main water line break, $585. That's a little less than $400/hr in this case. There are other costs, I know. The company van, time to and from, office, insurance. If the break were in the sprinkler system the charge would have been significantly less BUT the fix would have been almost identical, just 12 closer to the surface. I think I'll fix it myself the next time it breaks. Figure it will take me 4 hours. I'm 57, 120lbs and female.

I will call Rooter-Man again, they were great. But not for a main line break because all the companies charge double what is fair for the repair.

I am a real big fan of the Rooter-Man! We've used these folks for repairs on our very old house for the last five years, and they are always game to deal with whatever surprises it throws at them (scary crawlspace, old pipes, etc). They are not especially cheap but the customer service is excellent. They are always on time and knowledgeable.

My experience today was top notch!
Eddie came and snaked my clogged kitchen sink very patiently.After several attempts with the snake, it wasn't budging and started looking hopeless.

Then Eddie said he could try a high pressure water blow-out, but it doesn't always work.
But it did!!
I was beyond thrilled.On top of all this , he cleaned up and swept the floor!
Thanks Rooter-Man and thanks Eddie for going at it, until it was a success!

Rooter Man Plumbing absolutely exceeded our expectations. We had a plumbing emergency which they responded to very quickly.  David, Eddie, and Dean were polite, professional, and knowledgeable about how to facilitate the needed repair.   They completed their work in a timely manner and cleaned up afterward.  
We would definitely recommend Rooter-Man Plumbing.

Came home from vacation to find out we got a water leak in the front yard! After doing some research, called these guys. Eddy came out not too long after to look at the problem. After digging up the ground he provided update- line was cracked under the sidewalk and called for back up. It didn't look too good. David came out and they dug more, ran new line and finally fixed the leak! They were great- kept us informed and more so professional and knowledgeable.

I went with Rooter-Mann based on Yelp stars and they did not disappoint! Same day appointment, confirmed by text when I hung up, and then got another text 45min out from the tech's ETA w/his photo. Eddie did a great job diagnosing the issue and making sure it wasn't our septic system before unclogging a toilet at the opposite end of the cleanout. We'll use them again!

Called Rooter-Man with an underground water leak on my side of the City of Austin water meter.  Ed came to fix my problem on the next business day. He was professional and seemed to fix the problem right.  He pointed out the problem and explained how it might have happened.  It was likely a problem caused by sloppy work of a previous plumber who took some short cuts.  Cost was about 600 to dig it all out and fix.  He also adjusted my water pressure to the house at no charge. Also gave me advice on a water heater issue of concern.  I'm pretty happy and believe my problem was solved by someone who knew what he was doing.  That gives me comfort. Never hire a fly-by-night plumber. It will end up costing you more than doing it right the first time. That's a life lesson. You get what you pay for in most things. I can recommend this company.

Curtis provided excellent service. Rooter-Man sent a text with his picture to let you know who would be arriving. He showed up on time, was courteous, and quickly diagnosed a leaking hot water pipe. Each step of the way, he explained what he proposed to do and the line item cost and was very careful to minimize damage to a wall. Before he left, Curtis placed a call with a water restoration specialist and followed up the next day to see how everything went. Very happy with the professionalism and customer service.

I had a drain clog in my bathroom sink, unfortunately, my AC drains into this sink so it was creating more of a problem than I would have liked.  I called Rooter-Man because I've used them in the past and had a good experience.  
The plumber, Eddie, came by exactly when they said he would and fixed the problem quickly,  he had great customer service and his work was of great quality.  I'd use this company again and would definitely recommend Eddie.

Curtis really came through for me today, showing up early, digging out my drain pipe, and fixing the break, all while racing against the clock with a massive storm looming.

Most others would have made us wait until the rain passed before even scheduling a repair, but Curtis went above and beyond to give us amazing customer service! Highly recommend!

Once again Rooter-Man Plumbing has come to my rescue!

After watching our laundry drain back up, we contacted our home warranty company. They sent 2 different plumbers who proceeded to not show up on time, not communicate at all and then tell us we had a $8K-$10K job involving digging up our slab to get to the pipes.

Something didn't sit right with us and since the warranty company wasn't going to cover the work we contacted a plumber we trusted, Rooter-Man. Aaron came out and brought way more tools and tests than the other companies. He diagnosed that it wasn't a break but a major clog and all they needed to do was water jet it to clear the pipe. Less than $500 later, my pipes are cleared and everything is running correctly.

Aaron was friendly and constantly contacted us to let us know when he was going to arrive. He worked hard and I felt very comfortable with him in my home. He and his assistant quickly fixed the issue, ran our washer to make sure everything was running smoothly, told me what he did and what to expect in the future.

I will never ever use another plumber. Rooter-Man has now taken care of us in 2 different occasions where other plumbers let us down. They are reasonably priced and do the job right the first time. They also told us they would work with both our home warranty and our insurance company should the need arise. SO pleased I trusted my gut and contacted true professionals instead of taking out a loan for unneeded work.

We had a horrible experience with a plumber here named Curtis! I don't like posting negative reviews but this incident was shocking, very upsetting and too much drama!
We contacted Rooter-Man based on the great reviews. What a mistake! We are still in shock at what he did in front of us & how he behaved. Plus he increased the price by $300 after the initial price quote was established! I'm still very upset over what happened in our bathroom & what this plumber said & what he did in front of us. He was so unprofessional & extremely rude! It was absolutely horrible!! Curtis hooked up our new bathtub & fixtures. After he was done we were shocked it was installed crooked! It wasn't straight & we asked him to please straighten it. Well he went ballistic! You won't believe what he did. He got into our bathtub with his dirty boots on & he started shaking it back & forth while saying, This bathtub is a piece of junk it's just a piece of crap! He kept saying it over & over! I thought he was going to hurt us he was so angry & upset! I was scared & I almost called the police! We were in absolute shock & couldn't believe it! And our bathtub is still crooked! This plumber needs to get help fast! We are still very upset with the whole matter. He should not be working with the public! We couldn't wait for him to get out of our house! If the owner is not happy with this review, tough beans! We are traumatized by what happened & have to live with this horrible memory forever. Your employee needs serious help!

Curtis and Alan just left my house after providing impeccable service and workmanship on the main drain from my house. Scheduling was highly responsive. Curtis explained everything each step of the way and gave me all my options. Both gentlemen were extremely kind and polite and never cussed, even when they might have wanted to. We had two other plumbers make a mess of our drain in the past year, but I finally feel like I'm in good hands with Rooterman! Will definitely call them again in the future.

Drew, the guy who came to replace the toilet did a great job.  He called ahead and gave me all the details.  I ended up changing my mind on what brand toilet to install and bought my own.  He gladly installed it and they had pre established price for customer supplied toilet and had told me that before and installed with necessarynprts and charged exactly what they told me.  No surprise.  Job well done.  I will call them again.

The shutoff valve for my bath tub got stuck open last Sunday. I had some trouble finding a plumber to come out and help on short notice until I was connected with Eddie from Rooter-Man. Eddie arrived at my house within 2 hours and had the problem solved shortly after arriving. I was very pleased to see the measures taken to keep Eddie and my family safe from COVID-19. The final price was quite reasonable. I'm very satisfied and would definitely recommend Eddie! (Not sure why this review says I live in San Francisco. This was for Austin residents)

I had a terrific experience with Curtis at Rooter Man today. He quickly determined the problem wasn't even our plumbing but the a/c! However during his inspection he determined that a recently installed tankless hot water heater was done poorly and was a ticking time bomb. In a short amount of time he replaced two parts on the unit with brass fittings, potentially saving us a flooded house one day! Curtis was friendly and was properly outfitted for these times in quarantine. I'm even having him back next week to install a new kitchen faucet!

I couldn't believe it. The plumber, Curtis, who showed up was professional, diagnosed the problems quickly and got straight to work on the repairs. The service was prompt, very fairly priced and Curtis even called several hours after leaving to make sure everything was still going ok! I definitely recommend Rooter-Man!

Eddie and Warren did really good work at my house to fix a problem with the kitchen sink.  It took some time-consuming line flushing, but they didn't give up and kept going so that we could back to our kitchen work.  They taught me something I could do to help maintain the line and prevent future blockages.  They also took the time to give me an estimate for work that might be covered under my home warranty (i.e., that they might not get the business for).  Thanks Rooter-Man!

Talented service technicians are hard to find and when you do find a GREAT one you stick with them. I'm speaking of Pierre Dupreez of course and I'll follow him the ends of the earth if I have to. Speaking of ends of the earth Pierre has help plumbing licenses on several continents so he has experience dealing with all kinds of plumbing problems.
What I like about Pierre is that he instills trust and integrity with any project he's working on. I know this because he recently helped us with a leak in our slab. He is a solution finder and was able to take the new pipe up the wall, thru the attic and down to the fixture to the farthest point in our house.
Call and ask for Pierre and PLEASE make fun of his accent!

Curtis at Rooter-Man took care of a plumbing problem in my 60 year-old house last month.  He showed me what parts needed repair and/or replacement, then explained how he would make the repair.  He then looked up the job cost, explained that the cost was by the job, not the hour.  Supplies were procured, repairs were made and he cleaned up after himself.  We will use Rooter-Man for any plumbing needs that come up in the future.  Thank you Curtis!

It's been 2 months since the initial install of my water heater, so I feel an update on my earlier review is due.  First, the water heater that was installed has functioned well, and I've seen a slight drop in my gas bill, for which I'm grateful. However, I've also spoken with several people who've had tankless water heaters installed, like I originally wanted, and they were astounded at how complex Rooter-Man would have made that installation.  The individuals I spoke with had theirs quickly, easily and efficiently installed onto existing gas lines, and have loved the products' performance and their lowered gas bills.

Second, I think it's fair to mention that after having my water heater and HVAC system replaced within 2 weeks of each other I discovered mold in a small closet immediately below these two units.  I contacted both service companies, and both stated the other company had lost water in my attic while replacing their respective units, and neither agreed to assume responsibility for the problem.

I was fortunate the damage was contained to a 3' x 4' closet, and that the majority of the items in the closet were stored in boxes and/or plastic, so little was lost.  I'm grateful for that.

I should also mentioned that while inspecting the attic to discover the water damage with one of the companies, I found a few garbage bags worth of debris from the jobs left behind by the service technicians.  I can't begin to say how angry I was that their service technicians had used my attic as a garbage dumping ground.  Unfortunately, I have a bad knee and injured it while stooping under duct work and balanced on beams to gather all the garbage.  I mention this because this injury prevented me from doing the mold remediation myself, and I had to pay a young man $100 to clean my 3 ' x 4' closet.  I'm still under a doctor's care to restore my knee to normal functioning, and I've had to lose time from work to address this injury.  Needless to say, I'm not happy about this either.  

I give them 3 stars, because Emilio was courteous and professional, and the water heater they installed works well.

Their services are overpriced. The dispatch fee was $79 just to look around and get us a quote. They did not used any tools at all and did nothing more than look around the drain. The actual work was estimated at 16K; fortunately we got other quotes and did the installation with another company for almost a third of their estimate.

I would give six stars if I could! I had a water main break in my yard. I called a rival company who gave me a window of four hours. The guy got here, took a look at the problem and quoted me $850. I told them to take a hike.
Then I asked around and someone recommended David Coucke with Rooter-man. He came over, grabbed the shovel and started poking around and said it would be easy and inexpensive. An hour later he was done and charged me $230 which is not exactly cheap but considering the other guys tried to jack up the price three times higher I am very happy. I know who to call next time!

We were preparing our house for sale when we discovered a water leak above the kitchen ceiling, coming from the Master Bath upstairs.  Curtis and Alan came to discover the source of the leak, gave  us a couple of options to repair the shower drain ( the source of the leak.) They recommended one of the options as being the best repair and that would last the longest.

Both men were friendly and professional, and completed the work more quickly than we expected.  They also made a point of cleaning up the dust from the ceiling's drywall residue, and gave us a referral for a drywall specialist to patch the hole. I would recommend Curtis, Alan and Rooter-Man to anyone who needs professional plumbing that is both affordable and done well.

Thank you.

Good service and prompt. Aaron came out to do a complicated sink and disposal install. I appreciated his efforts to attempt a less costly alternative to save me the cost of a more costly job. Actually saw him try to make it work before having to go the more costly out. Got the work done and made it fit as it should. He even brought some plumbing fixtures up to code that were not as they should be. Not sure how the builder got away with their work, but my plumbing was not up to code.

Good to work with them and this job helped me find a go to place for plumbing work in the future.

Curtis was awesome! He came out right away on a Saturday morning when our toilets all clogged and sewage was coming out of our bathtub drains. He fixed everything efficiently and was such a nice guy.

Eddy with Rooterman was efficient, polite, smart, and gave us great advice for what we need to do going forward as well! Well worth the price. They came out today because it was an emergency!

Was expecting to schedule for my slow drain later in the week, but when I called was told that someone would be out within an hour on Monday morning! Curtis was prompt, courteous, professional and cleared my drain. Gave options and recommendations for keeping it clear running. Happy with the service and would certainly refer others to Rooter-Man Austin!

We just had a new kitchen sink installed at the same time as having new countertops. We thought we just needed the waste disposal reattaching but when Eddie came it was apparent that the sink wasn't even attached and the new faucet was loose. So a small job turned into a larger one but Eddie just rolled with it and was informative and professional and great to be around. He even offered to take away a lot of the packaging and various other bits and pieces left from the original install. I am so happy we went with Rooterman and had the good fortune to work with Eddie.

All businesses, regardless of their area of expertise, should aspire to match the impeccable professionalism, staff expertise, and reasonable rates provided by this company. Thank you Chrissy for your courtesy and professionalism in setting up my appointment, and thank you Curtis and Warren for your incredibly extensive knowledge and for fixing a nightmare plumbing issue in my home! You are all amazing, and I'll most definitely call on you if/when the need arises, and I highly recommend you. Thank you again!

Hey, what can I say Curtis came out and really knows his stuff.  He came out to see that my salon needed the correct flow I have 3 sinks that I'll tell you what's wrong the people who did it was busted that put it in (confidence plumbing**) but needless to say I'm repaying  for a service I thought was good. I thought Confidence plumbing gave me a good service but I'm bring told and shown all of the botchy eorkmanship.!!!  But thanks to Curtis I am able to have my sink properly working.  Maan I feel so bad he opened a whole can of worms to get me going not to mention they had another customer dedicated to a time in which I'm making them run over. Curtis stayed until the job was done.  No matter what he fixed the work from the other company has cost me.  Please note that if they are running late to your appointment, they will take the time to service you without a raincheck once they are started.   They also did my water heater too  two years ago, no complaint.  This is an old build in Pflugerville and the pipes n everything needed updates.  Christi is good customer service on the phone she can make it happen and get them out to you just be a little lenient on the time because of snaffud they may get on another job....trust me it's thier intent to get to you in a timely manner they just don't believe in rush jobs, half doing things for a $ they make sure it's a job well done.  Curtis tells me they have a good thing going they are like family they've been working together for years...they have the glue it takes to keep good business...do I'm staying stuck like their  plumbers glue on my pipes and work on my water heater.  He even hung my salon sinks with my service which he didn't have to do.  Best Journey man every boy did he have a journey of a life time give this Guy Curtis 6 stars he's very innovative and patient. And cares about your needs and doing it right.  
Sincerely Restorationhairsalonands…

Our bathtub faucet failed and we could not turn water off at tub. We did shut the water off at main near street so we were without water. Roto-Rooter sent a plumber same day and had it fixed in no time. The faucet needed a valve replacement. We were very grateful. Amazing service

In early February 2019, we called on Rooter-Man to service a water heater that was in need of de-scaling, which went perfectly fine.  About two weeks later, early on a Sunday morning of course, we had an unrelated emergency when we discovered an underground pipe on our property burst and started spewing huge amounts of water downstream toward our neighbors.  We couldn't turn off the water, and initially, we couldn't reach any plumbers.  I called Rooter-Man first and left a message, but then called a few more because of the rather desperate circumstances.  Rooter-Man called me back within about 10 minutes of my first message, and was the only one of the plumbers I called that was able and willing to help on a Sunday morning, so my gratitude is endless.  They tried to help us shut off the water with over-the-phone instructions and got us help within about an hour.  Deep, deep appreciation for this immediate help!

Rooter Man came to my house quickly and found a solution to my unique problem, and made the repair for a reasonable price.

I have 3/8 Pex plastic Manabloc pipes in my house and one plumber quoted prices around 1k to fix it and wanted to cut holes in walls.

Rooter Man did the work for far less and didn't cut holes.

Seriously, these folks and Kyle SPECIFICALLY are awesome!
highly recommend.

We had another company come out and bid a job to replace Pex Pipe bathtub filler... bid comes back with replace pex pipe 1 to 5 ft, $732!!! and they wanted to be paid in advance of work.

called Rooter-Man and asked if that seemed high... Kyle reviewed bid, said that the bid was terrible and he could do it for much less.... he came out next day, replaced the line and we were back in business - $300.00 flat. and he replaced the faucet as well.

awesome sauce!

So I work out of town for two weeks at a time and I was gearing up for my next hitch when I received a rather exorbitant gas bill. We had previously called Ferrell Gas to come out and investigate for a leak due to the smell of natural gas permeating our back patio area. They came out and tested for leaks to no avail, not once but twice in a one month span. They informed me that my leak may possibly be within the walls of the home and that it was not their territory. Their suggestion was to contact a plumber to come out and conduct yet another leak test.

Thus came my main man Curtis. I contacted Rooterman and they sent out Curtis the next day. Curtis was kind and informative. I am an engineer by profession so I was very curious as to how we were going to detect a leak. Curtis allowed me to join him throughout the process and taught me about the natural gas distribution system in my home. We isolated several valves and finally found that the valve at the service loop leading to the stove had a small leak. Ferrell gas had missed this twice. On top of that the stove that we had was also leaking on the rear burner. While the system was pressured with air we found that the burner would actually ignite when a flame was presented due to residual gas being pushed out by the air.

Once we found the leak Curtis had another appointment he had to make so he went to fulfill his obligation and returned at a later time to complete the work on the leaking gas line. Once the line was repaired I ordered a replacement stove but the smell of gas still lingered outside. I turned on the furnace investigate and Curtis showed me how there was black ash on the burner area and also that there was too much smoke being released from the flue on the roof. He recommended I contact the company that had just recently installed the unit as it may have been set up for natural gas rather than propane. The difference in orifice size could cause the fuel source to burn inefficiently. This actually posed a danger to my family and I.

I contacted the company and had them send out a tech thanks to a helpful tip from Curtis. When the tech arrived and opened up the unit he said he had never seen anything like that in all his years of working in the industry. He condemned the unit and called his supervisor. The company did what was necessary and replaced the unit rather than just washing the damaged coils.

Once I received my stove I even had Curtis come back and perform the conversion from natural gas to propane with the kit provided by the Home Depot. I was not at home for this, but from my wife's testimony, Curtis once again did an amazing job.

Rooterman, I have worked in customer service for many years prior to my current career and I have never come across a gentleman like Curtis. Because of this man you have earned yourself another customer as long as we are in Austin. Give that man, Curtis, a raise!

BTW this review is long overdue and I apologize for that. This work was done back at the beginning of the year. The recognition is well deserved as there was a lot learned through this experience thanks to someone who was willing to explain and teach. I appreciate you Curtis!

Had an issue with the sewer line.  Called Rooter-Man and booked an appointment for following morning.  An hour later they called and said they could come same day. (Yay!)  Eddie and Drew showed up, quickly and efficiently diagnosed the problem, and fixed it quickly and professionally.  It was a bit expensive but given the rapid response this company made and the quick work these two fellows did, it was worth every penny.  Go Rooter-Man!  Go Eddie and Drew!

My husband and I were doing landscaping work last Saturday when we hit and ruptured the main water line to our house. It was 4pm and our yard was flooding! We called several plumbers who either didn't answer their phone or wanted us to wait until Monday. We have a baby at home and going the weekend without water wasn't an option.

When I called Rooter Man they picked up on the first ring, the dispatcher took all my info and said she'd call me back. She called back within 5 minutes and said Aaron would be on his way within an hour. Aaron was here within 30 minutes!

Aaron was professional, friendly, and worked tirelessly to fix our pipe before nightfall. I cannot say enough good things about Aaron and my entire experience with Rooter Man. They will definitely be our first call the next time we have plumbing issues.

Extremely pleased!  Curtis was friendly, knowledgeable, and efficient.  Had a mystery leak somewhere underground in the main line to the house.  He found it quickly, told me what my options were, and what surprises might still be lurking if it wasn't what he expected.  Repair was completed much quicker than expected even though it was deeper than anticipated.  Curtis also took the time to explain how to work with the City to get the water bill adjusted.  HP (the scheduler) was easy to work with and explained how billing would be handled.  Rooter-man made a bad situation a lot less painful.

Overall great experience! My fiance and I recently bought a house and it was noted on the inspection the water heater was not properly installed. We chose Rooter Man Plumbing to help us with this based on excellent reviews online. The technician who helped us (Curtis) was very professional, knowledgeable and did a fantastic job. He was diligent about wearing his mask and social distancing, which I really appreciated during this pandemic. He took the time to show me the issues which needed addressed and informed me about why these changes were important. He had all the equipment to complete the work and showed me the costs of each component so I understood my bill. At the end he walked me through the changes he had made and it was easy to appreciate the improvements. He made sure everything was connected properly and safely, which gave me peace of mind. I would highly recommend Curtis and Rooter Man Plumbing!

We were dealing with an emergency sewer issue with our grinder pump. Eddie came out first thing the next morning and immediately figured out that our starter capacitor was not working well.  This was the third time I had a plumber out in 5 months and the last 2 times a different outfit just unjammed the pump but missed the real issue, yet charged us huge dollars to get it working (30 mins was all they stayed for $800).  I about was leave for an out of the country trip and a proper fix was critical for my wife. The bill was about half of what I had paid before, and that included the new part and a proper fix!

Thanks to them for the great job!

I had a leak somewhere under my kitchen sink, so I called Rooter Man, and they were able to get someone to me in a timely manner at a time convenient for me. Curtis was out here a little earlier than scheduled, which was already impressive considering that a lot of places that give you a time slot seem to always run late. He diagnosed the problem with my garbage disposal quickly and had a new one up and running in 30 minutes. I hope I don't have any additional plumbing issues, but if I do, they'll be the ones I call first.

I had a suspected main line water leak after I noticed a large increase in my water usage. I called Rooter-Man Austin at 8am and they said they could have someone there at the noon-2pm slot that day. 15 mins prior they called to say they were en-route and at around noon, Eddie and Blake arrived. After explaining the problem they quickly ruled out any potential leaks inside the home, such as the water heater etc. Since nothing was visible outside they started probing the ground with shovels and quickly found the location of the leak. They gave me a reasonable estimate and said they could fix it there and then. They had to dig down over 2 feet to find the problem which was actually an incorrectly done repair by someone previously. They promptly fixed the leak and filled in the hole. All this was done within 2 hours. These guys don't mess around, are hard working and friendly too! Recommended.

So Kyle came out and installed our water heater, wow I can't believe it's been 6 month already!  He was very professional and certainly made me glad that my water heater is in a closet in my garage.

People that have the water heater in the attic sure can end up with some big problems or end up having to get a tank less water heater which can be so much more expensive. It actually makes me happy to have a house built in the late 80's, when lots were still big enough in Round Rock.

Anyway,  I digress. The job was done in a very professional manner and I finally have a water heater up to code, don't have to worry  about flooding into my family room anymore. The water is so hot, which is so good,  especially for the dishes.

Fast,  professional service at a fair price is what I experienced

We just moved into a house with a 10 month old baby and the water heater was acting up.  We called RooterMan and they can out the same day at no extra charge.  They also called to confirm the appointment and call before they headed over (LOVE the notice!) and were very pleasant to deal with the whole time.  

My husband was at work and during the service call, our old water heater spewed some water in the garage and Aaron, the tech, immediately shut it off, vacuumed up the water and found some fans in our garage (amongst the boxes) and set up a drying system to make sure there would be no water damage.

He gave us tips on how to maintain the old unit to get the most out of it and let me know about upcoming regulation changes that will effect the cost of replacement in the future.  He was very knowledgeable and showed us how to save money.  

THAT'S AWESOME. :)

I didn't actually use Rooter-Man's services after all, but wanted to compliment Curtis. We needed a plumber to come out immediately to fix some plumbing issues. I had calls in to a lot of different plumbers, and somehow, I got my wires crossed with who was actually coming to the house and when. As soon as the repairing plumber left, Curtis pulled up in his van ready to do the work. I explained the situation and apologized for his inconvenience. Normally, they charge a $79 dispatch fee, but Curtis understood and was very kind to waive the fee for me! Thanks, Curtis! I won't forget this.

I own a duplex up north that I try to keep in great shape throughout the year, so when my tenant lets me know something is wrong I'm quick to call up someone I can trust to get the problem solved.

I've been through plenty of plumbers in the past, with inconsistent results. I decided to give these guys a chance a few months ago and have had nothing but great experiences. They're usually very quick to respond, same-day or next day, reasonably priced, and the work is solid.

I had a tenant tell me that their kitchen disposal was leaking, so I called up Rooter man for ASAP service. From what I hear, they were at his place within 2 hours, and the disposal was replaced by the next day at a good price.

I highly recommend them, they always answer the phone (nothing more frustrating than calling someone during a leak and it going to voicemail) and they get someone out there quick, which is more than I can say for many plumbing guys here in town.

I recently moved back into my house after renting it to tenants for the past 5 years and discovered several plumbing issues that needed attention (clogged pipes, toilet not filling up, new disposal needed installation, etc). Each and every time I've called, Curtis comes to the rescue! He is great. Always calls to let you know when he is on his way, super knowledgeable, friendly and quick. I definitely recommend Rooter-Man and Curtis and will definitely call on him again for any other plumbing issues that will likely arise in my 78 year old house.

We had a leak in the water line in our backyard! Got a huge water bill and thats how we noticed.  We immediately shut off the waterline and tried calling plumber after plumber to get this emergency resolved.  Majority of the plumbers went to voicemail.  We got one company out who gave us an exorbitant quote.  I am glad we didn't go with them.  We got through Rooter-man and they were able to get someone out within the hour!  Their rates are very reasonable!  They charge a service fee but that goes towards the total cost if they do the repair.  And they don't charge by the hour - they have a price book and charge a rate for a type of issue.  I liked that!  It was straightforward and they were very cordial and competent.  Thanks for the fast service and will definitely be recommending you to friends!!

I am retracting my previous review since the owner, David, actually took the extra time to complete the job which did require additional work and even brought several other issues to my attention. I really appreciate the professionalism of this company and they definitely do stand behind their work.  The response time was almost immediate and I will certainly be using them in the future.  Finally a plumbing company you can trust and depend on.

Came to fix our urinal (I own a preschool) and then instead of leaving afterwards, as every other plumbing company has done in the past, he suggested a way to PREVENT if from happening again! We cannot use a screen, like most commercial places, because the children can pick it up and out. But he suggested using something that is child proof. Who knew? And then as he was leaving, he said he would do some checking for us since he figures it will be a little hard for us to locate it. You guys have my business from now on. THANK YOU!

Our hot water heater stopped working one day and the timing was really terrible. I called early in the morning and spoke to a call service. The company called me back very promptly and set up an appointment that same day. Our repairman Curtis was friendly, efficient, and conscientious. He called to let me know where he was before he arrived. He immediately diagnosed and repaired the problematic part (thermocoupler in our case). He also cleaned some of the other parts to help the heater keep running as long as possible into the future. It was an old heater and he easily could have told us to replace the whole thing. He did what was best for us and our budget instead. Very happy with the service.

Today was the second time in 4 months I had to call for service. The first time was on Thanksgiving Day and Eddie came to the rescue for a clogged sewer pipe. We called and he came within a hour and took care of the issue before my company showed up for dinner. Being that it was a holiday I expected outrageous prices but it was very reasonable.  Because of the good service we received we called for service again for a gas leak and Curtis came and took care of it. He was very knowledgeable and professional. Again the price was a fair price. I have spoken to both the office person and to David the service manager on the phone and both very friendly. I will not hesitate to call again.

I had a water leak issue at my house that resulted in a major water loss damage. We initially had called in a plumber who incorrectly concluded that it was a leak coming from the bathroom cabinet. We left the dry walls opened to test and confirm the theory. However, after 3 months of waiting and checking, we sealed the walls back. Unfortunately the leak showed up again and that's when we contacted David. David and Eddie showed up and worked for a few hours to isolate and identify the leak. The successfully traced it to a supply line and found a hole punctured by nail in the drywall. Apparently this leak has existed since the house was built. I was very impressed by David, Eddie and Tad's professionalism in tackling the issue. The replaced the leaking line and checked the pressure again to verify. I am thankful to them and highly recommend them. I will surely hire them again when needed.
In the meanwhile I will keep the walls open to ensure that there are no more leaks.
Thank you David, Eddie, and Tadpole.

Called Friday evening after spending some time putting a bandaid on a leak.  Being Easter weekend was not sure what to expect for timing.  Got a call back within 10min that they could dispatch someone on Saturday morning.  Eddie showed up after texting his arrival time and jumped right on assessing the problem and getting it fixed.  He was very personable as we talked about the problem and what he was going to replace the section of pipe with, along with some good banter about sports and being transplant here in Texas.  Had a great experience with Eddie and Rooter-Man overall and would highly recommend.  My kudos and appreciation for everything guys.

Not sure what all the high ratings for this place are about. We called to get an estimate on a replacement gas water heater. Were told that the estimate would cost $79 but that was deductible from the job should we follow through. An appointment was set, but no one showed nor called. Given the high ratings these guys had, We called them back the next day to see what was up. They said that they had a computer problem. We reset the date. Te guy shows up. Takes a look see at the water heater. Asks us the size we wanted. Worked some screens on his computer and gave us a number. I asked fro a print out but he said he could not do that. So, I asked him to email me the estimate. so I could see what they were including for the number and have a record of the estimate I paid for. I frankly cannot recall what he responded or whether he did respond.
We paid the bill and he emailed us a receipt for the payment BUT not a written estimate. I responded requesting the written estimate explaining what his bid included (the heater to be included and what others items) and the final price. Never heard back. I paid for an usable estimate. $79 for a number that is not documented to include items not specified in writing means nothing.
We'll never use these people again.

When we realized we had a leak on the side of the house, we reached out to a plumber we had used in the past and were told that it would take over a week for them to come out and fix it. I looked on Yelp to see if there were any nearby plumbers who might be available and found Rooter-Man. When I called them to request assistance they were very responsive to both the urgency of the situation and to my stress about the leak. I had great customer service from both the office staff and the plumber who came out to fix the situation. The plumber came out within an hour and then cheerfully spent several hours digging up our yard to fix the the broken pipe. We were only without water for a few hours. In addition to the great customer service and the timely repair, I was very pleasantly surprised at the cost of the service. I would highly recommend this company!

Unfortunately the leak showed up again and that's when we contacted David. David and Eddie showed up and worked for a few hours to isolate and identify the leak. The successfully traced it to a supply line and found a hole punctured by nail in the drywall. Apparently this leak has existed since the house was built. I was very impressed by David, Eddie and Tad's professionalism in tackling the issue. The replaced the leaking line and checked the pressure again to verify. I am thankful to them and highly recommend them. I will surely hire them again when needed.
In the meanwhile I will keep the walls open to ensure that there are no more leaks.
Thank you David, Eddie, and Tadpole.

Curtis was wonderful, came in on time, called me to tell me he was on his way, was very careful with my floors, and got it all running smoothly with a one month guarantee on the work.  Great company!

Called Friday evening after spending some time putting a bandaid on a leak.  Being Easter weekend was not sure what to expect for timing.  Got a call back within 10min that they could dispatch someone on Saturday morning.  Eddie showed up after texting his arrival time and jumped right on assessing the problem and getting it fixed.  He was very personable as we talked about the problem and what he was going to replace the section of pipe with, along with some good banter about sports and being transplant here in Texas.  Had a great experience with Eddie and Rooter-Man overall and would highly recommend.  My kudos and appreciation for everything guys.

Not sure what all the high ratings for this place are about. We called to get an estimate on a replacement gas water heater. Were told that the estimate would cost $79 but that was deductible from the job should we follow through. An appointment was set, but no one showed nor called. Given the high ratings these guys had, We called them back the next day to see what was up. They said that they had a computer problem. We reset the date. Te guy shows up. Takes a look see at the water heater. Asks us the size we wanted. Worked some screens on his computer and gave us a number. I asked fro a print out but he said he could not do that. So, I asked him to email me the estimate. so I could see what they were including for the number and have a record of the estimate I paid for. I frankly cannot recall what he responded or whether he did respond.
We paid the bill and he emailed us a receipt for the payment BUT not a written estimate. I responded requesting the written estimate explaining what his bid included (the heater to be included and what others items) and the final price. Never heard back. I paid for an usable estimate. $79 for a number that is not documented to include items not specified in writing means nothing.
We'll never use these people again.

When we realized we had a leak on the side of the house, we reached out to a plumber we had used in the past and were told that it would take over a week for them to come out and fix it. I looked on Yelp to see if there were any nearby plumbers who might be available and found Rooter-Man. When I called them to request assistance they were very responsive to both the urgency of the situation and to my stress about the leak. I had great customer service from both the office staff and the plumber who came out to fix the situation. The plumber came out within an hour and then cheerfully spent several hours digging up our yard to fix the the broken pipe. We were only without water for a few hours. In addition to the great customer service and the timely repair, I was very pleasantly surprised at the cost of the service. I would highly recommend this company!

Eddie and Allen checked in with me and arrived early. They diagnosed the problem and repaired it. They checked in with me about another issue they noticed, but they were never pushy. They were honest, knowledgeable, and professional at all times. I will definitely call Rooter-Man when I need a plumber.

Our hot water heater stopped working one day and the timing was really terrible. I called early in the morning and spoke to a call service. The company called me back very promptly and set up an appointment that same day. Our repairman Curtis was friendly, efficient, and conscientious. He called to let me know where he was before he arrived. He immediately diagnosed and repaired the problematic part (thermocoupler in our case). He also cleaned some of the other parts to help the heater keep running as long as possible into the future. It was an old heater and he easily could have told us to replace the whole thing. He did what was best for us and our budget instead. Very happy with the service.

Today was the second time in 4 months I had to call for service. The first time was on Thanksgiving Day and Eddie came to the rescue for a clogged sewer pipe. We called and he came within a hour and took care of the issue before my company showed up for dinner. Being that it was a holiday I expected outrageous prices but it was very reasonable.  Because of the good service we received we called for service again for a gas leak and Curtis came and took care of it. He was very knowledgeable and professional. Again the price was a fair price. I have spoken to both the office person and to David the service manager on the phone and both very friendly. I will not hesitate to call again.

Curtis was wonderful, came in on time, called me to tell me he was on his way, was very careful with my floors, and got it all running smoothly with a one month guarantee on the work.  Great company!

Called Friday evening after spending some time putting a bandaid on a leak.  Being Easter weekend was not sure what to expect for timing.  Got a call back within 10min that they could dispatch someone on Saturday morning.  Eddie showed up after texting his arrival time and jumped right on assessing the problem and getting it fixed.  He was very personable as we talked about the problem and what he was going to replace the section of pipe with, along with some good banter about sports and being transplant here in Texas.  Had a great experience with Eddie and Rooter-Man overall and would highly recommend.  My kudos and appreciation for everything guys.

Not sure what all the high ratings for this place are about. We called to get an estimate on a replacement gas water heater. Were told that the estimate would cost $79 but that was deductible from the job should we follow through. An appointment was set, but no one showed nor called. Given the high ratings these guys had, We called them back the next day to see what was up. They said that they had a computer problem. We reset the date. Te guy shows up. Takes a look see at the water heater. Asks us the size we wanted. Worked some screens on his computer and gave us a number. I asked fro a print out but he said he could not do that. So, I asked him to email me the estimate. so I could see what they were including for the number and have a record of the estimate I paid for. I frankly cannot recall what he responded or whether he did respond.
We paid the bill and he emailed us a receipt for the payment BUT not a written estimate. I responded requesting the written estimate explaining what his bid included (the heater to be included and what others items) and the final price. Never heard back. I paid for an usable estimate. $79 for a number that is not documented to include items not specified in writing means nothing.
We'll never use these people again.

When we realized we had a leak on the side of the house, we reached out to a plumber we had used in the past and were told that it would take over a week for them to come out and fix it. I looked on Yelp to see if there were any nearby plumbers who might be available and found Rooter-Man. When I called them to request assistance they were very responsive to both the urgency of the situation and to my stress about the leak. I had great customer service from both the office staff and the plumber who came out to fix the situation. The plumber came out within an hour and then cheerfully spent several hours digging up our yard to fix the the broken pipe. We were only without water for a few hours. In addition to the great customer service and the timely repair, I was very pleasantly surprised at the cost of the service. I would highly recommend this company!

Eddie and Allen checked in with me and arrived early. They diagnosed the problem and repaired it. They checked in with me about another issue they noticed, but they were never pushy. They were honest, knowledgeable, and professional at all times. I will definitely call Rooter-Man when I need a plumber.

Eddie came yesterday and replaced our water heater and went above and beyond. He saved us a lot of money and did the job the correct way. I feel great knowing we got a fair price and a job done right!

Eddie from Rooter Man came out within 30 minutes in an emergency situation and got us up and running in no time.  Super grateful for his incredible last minute service.  Thanks, Eddie!

Our hot water heater stopped working one day and the timing was really terrible. I called early in the morning and spoke to a call service. The company called me back very promptly and set up an appointment that same day. Our repairman Curtis was friendly, efficient, and conscientious. He called to let me know where he was before he arrived. He immediately diagnosed and repaired the problematic part (thermocoupler in our case). He also cleaned some of the other parts to help the heater keep running as long as possible into the future. It was an old heater and he easily could have told us to replace the whole thing. He did what was best for us and our budget instead. Very happy with the service.

Today was the second time in 4 months I had to call for service. The first time was on Thanksgiving Day and Eddie came to the rescue for a clogged sewer pipe. We called and he came within a hour and took care of the issue before my company showed up for dinner. Being that it was a holiday I expected outrageous prices but it was very reasonable.  Because of the good service we received we called for service again for a gas leak and Curtis came and took care of it. He was very knowledgeable and professional. Again the price was a fair price. I have spoken to both the office person and to David the service manager on the phone and both very friendly. I will not hesitate to call again.

I had a water leak issue at my house that resulted in a major water loss damage. We initially had called in a plumber who incorrectly concluded that it was a leak coming from the bathroom cabinet. We left the dry walls opened to test and confirm the theory. However, after 3 months of waiting and checking, we sealed the walls back. Unfortunately the leak showed up again and that's when we contacted David. David and Eddie showed up and worked for a few hours to isolate and identify the leak. The successfully traced it to a supply line and found a hole punctured by nail in the drywall. Apparently this leak has existed since the house was built. I was very impressed by David, Eddie and Tad's professionalism in tackling the issue. The replaced the leaking line and checked the pressure again to verify. I am thankful to them and highly recommend them. I will surely hire them again when needed.
In the meanwhile I will keep the walls open to ensure that there are no more leaks.
Thank you David, Eddie, and Tadpole.
