The service provided was great, nothing to say about the work of the plumber. 5 stars to him. But the company charges felt way too much for the work. We would have liked to have the same plumber take care of other things in the house, but every time he check how much extra the company will charge for the job, the price just got too much. The plumber did an amazing job he selected a beautiful faucet to replace our old one. He did his best. But the company prices have no room for negotiation.
A million stars!!!! Steve and Lucas were absolutely amazing. My parents pipes burst and within 4 hours of calling they came and fixed everything!!! Very nice guys and dealt with my panicking. I will always use them if needed in the future and you all should too!!! Thank god for people like this!!! Thank you so much guys!!!
We got very quick service, I think the plumber actually arrived in less than an hour! After reviewing what was happening, he gave us our options and performed the option we selected. This happened in the late afternoon or early evening. It was already dark and there was a lot of snow on the ground.
I needed immediate, same day service in the early evening at my home. I went to the internet and looked up plumbing services that offered "24-hour, 7-day a week" availability. The first 3 places I called said that they could not get to me until the following day. Then I called Mr. Rooter. They were courteous and promptly got a technician to my house within an hour and a half. The technician, Lucas Kaufmann, was exceptional. The job was not easy, but he figured the problem out and got me all fixed up within an hour's time. Moving forward, I…
Despite what was quite obviously a busy day (day after Thanksgiving at 10pm) TJ came out and did not leave until the job was done! There were several setbacks, which at the late hour might have prompted him to leave- but he chose to stay and continue until the job was complete! I only have one bathroom so I was really hoping he could make it work, and he really did a wonderful job! So thankful for all of his help! I highly recommend TJ!
This is my second time using Mr. Rooter and I have to say they are an excellent company of experienced professionals! The service techs were courteous, experienced and actually spent time trying to figure out the issue before proposing the solution. They were also patient and answered all my questions without rushing the work. I will be using them again.
TJ was amazing! 10/10 recommend this company. We were in an emergency state of panic with a burst pipe in the middle of a bad snowstorm. TJ came with knowledge, professionalism, kindness, and found the root of the problem within five minutes of being here. We will be using him again in the spring to fix an outdoor issue he found!
The technicians were friendly, professional and knowledgeable. The price was too high I believe, but the technicians had no control over that. The technicians took their time and did a great job. I would use them again and also recommend them.
Excellent service! Charles and Nicholas of Mr. Rooter arrived to my scheduled service a few minutes early, wore sanitary shoe coverings, and were extremely professional. They found the source of my leak quickly and fixed the issue. While they here, I requested an additional hydraulic heating inspection which they accommodated. They were very knowledgeable and provided helpful tips. I highly recommend this team and I will definitely call them for all future plumbing needs!!
TJ came to my aid as the water pipe froze in my house. Although nothing could be done he gave me hints of what could be done my me which was very helpful. I found TJ very professional and caring about my situation. The best part of the very long night was the dogs adored him one wanted to accompany him to his next job. Thank you for employing such an amazing man. Plus today there is water running in the house. Thank you TJ and thank you Mr. Rooney plumbing for employing a man with helpful hints!!!!!
Take Care of Your Home’s Foundation
A damaged or cracked foundation will leave the walls and floor of your basement vulnerable to groundwater. If you discover even a tiny crack or problem, you need to take care of it right away. You should inspect your basement walls frequently to ensure that water is not present. Noticing foundation issues can be more difficult with finished basements since layers of insulation and drywall may cover up the initial waing signs. A professional inspection can help you locate the presence of moisture so you can fix the problem in its early stages.
Invest in a Sump Pump
All basements should have a sump pump installed. These handy devices help prevent floods by getting rid of excess water quickly. If you ever had a major flood due to heavy rainstorms or a burst pipe, you can avoid standing water by having a well-maintained sump pump that can jump into action. If you don’t have one, make sure to schedule an installation as soon as possible. If you already have one in place, be sure to keep it in tip-top shape in case of emergencies. You may want to install a battery backup in case a flood occurs during an outage.
Prioritize Your Plumbing Maintenance
One of the most common causes of a flooded basement is bad plumbing. A burst pipe or damaged sewer line can cause water to rush into your basement. For this reason, plumbing maintenance needs to be an essential part of your life. Annual inspections, routine leak detection services, and regular drain cleanings can help ensure that your pipes are in great condition long term. If you notice signs of trouble, get your pipes repaired or replaced to avoid further issues down the road.
Clean Out Your Gutters Regularly
Your gutter system is on your roof, so what does that have to do with your basement? Gutters and downspouts that are cluttered with dirt, leaves, and other debris cannot effectively move rainwater to the right location. Instead, water rushes off of the gutters and directly onto the ground around your basement. This can weaken the concrete, damage egress windows, and eventually create the perfect conditions for a basement flood. Simply cleaning out your gutters seasonally can help prevent this problem.
Slab leaks are one of the most serious plumbing problems homeowners can face. Because the pipes are located beneath the concrete foundation of the home, leaks can go unnoticed for weeks or even months before obvious signs appear. Once discovered, homeowners are often faced with an important decision: should the damaged pipe be repaired directly, or is pipe rerouting the better long-term solution?

Water leaks can cause serious problems for homeowners if they are not handled quickly. From rising water bills to structural damage and mold growth, even a small plumbing issue can turn into a costly repair over time. Many homeowners hear terms like “leak detection” and “leak repair” used together, but they are actually two different plumbing services.

Most homeowners expect hot water to be reliable. When the temperature suddenly changes during a shower or takes longer than usual to heat up, many people assume it is just a temporary issue. However, inconsistent water temperature is often a hidden warning sign that something more serious is happening inside your plumbing system.

Clean, safe drinking water is something most people expect every time they turn on the tap. But have you ever stopped to wonder if your tap water is actually as safe as it should be? While municipal water systems are regulated and treated, several factors inside your home can still affect water quality. Understanding these risks and knowing when to call a professional plumber can help protect your health and your plumbing system.

A garbage disposal is one of those kitchen features people rely on without thinking much about it. It helps manage food scraps, keeps the sink cleaner, and makes kitchen cleanup more convenient. But when a disposal starts making strange noises, draining slowly, smelling bad, or shutting off unexpectedly, it may be doing more than acting up. It may be warning you about a bigger plumbing issue.

Pipes are designed to last for years, but they are not immune to wear. One of the most common reasons plumbing systems break down is corrosion. Corrosion happens slowly, often out of sight, and by the time homeowners notice a problem, the damage may already be serious. For this reason, understanding how corrosion develops can help property owners know when to call a professional plumber for inspection, plumbing repair service, or broken pipe replacement.
