Customer Reviews in Oakland
Always arrives within the time window, explains the problem and completely fixes it. The tech's communication skills are excellent. I can always expect professionalism from the First phone call ... to schedule the repair to the end of the job!
My landlord contracted to have Roto-Rooter assess and repair my drainage issue. I had sewer gas odors coming from my kitchen sink with occasional gurgling sounds for a few ... days. Today my toilet overflowed when I flushed it. Jose arrived within the promised timeframe and quickly diagnosed the problem, then set about snaking the line. He snaked a second time with a different cutter to ensure the problem was solved. Water now flows freely and already the odors are greatly diminished in my kitchen. Jose was very good at his job and he explained the problem concisely to me. I'm very appreciative of his efforts and grateful he was able to come at such a late hour to take care of this. Jose is a wonderful reflection of what customer service should be. Thank you.
I had to utilize your services two times within about two weeks for different issue. Both techs, Donald and Mike, were very knowledgeable and professional. The issues that they ... were called to handle were both resolved well past our satisfaction. I would like to give an extra shout out to Mike. As we live in a one bathroom house having a working toilet was obviously very important. Mike did not abandon us and went above and beyond. I am very happy with your services and will always use your company and great employees in the future. Thanks
