  Roto Rooter was called to fix a leak in my home in July 2022. They were called back again to fix another leak in October then they had to return in November because the problem still was not corrected. Today, January 5, at 2:30am water began leaking again in the exact place where Roto Rooter spent 4 hours letting the bathtub, and shower run continuously. At that time they could not find what the problem was. Finally they stated that it was the toilet in the master bathroom. That could not have been the problem because the bathroom is still awaiting to be renovated at this time and the toilet is not attached nor is the shower or garden tub being used. ***** **** has paid the claim and it should have been fixed. Now the same place has water dripping through the ceiling after being repaired a month ago. They should be held responsible for this issue which should have been identified and corrected the first time they stayed 4 hours in my house, used machines to dry it out, then returned to so call fix the problem. Please assist me in getting this rectified before child begins to set up in my ceiling. I would like a refund so that the problem can be corrected. I am afraid that this problem will continue.

  We emailed the customer on 1/5/23 (Attached). We
  offered “to send out one of our best licensed plumbers to assess the
  problem. As part of your warranty, if the leak is happening from the work that
  we did, and that can be verified by our licensed plumber, we will gladly fix it
  for you or provide you with a refund as you requested. If we find that the leak
  is not associated with the work that we did, we will offer you a heavily
  discounted price to get the issue resolved.”
  We received an email response on 1/6/23, requesting us to call her
  to set up a time. Called and spoke to **** ******* around 5pm and attempted to
  set up a time for one of our plumbers to come out. Customer refused our offer to
  send out another plumber.

  Horrible "service". Called 12/30/22 due to a gas line leak. Gas shut off to our home due to the leak( no heat, hot water, stove). Was transferred to a dispatcher, who stated the earliest a gas line tech could be scheduled was 1/1/23 @ 8 AM. Dispatcher stated tech would call at 7:30 AM the morning of the appointment. No call, no show. Called Roto Rooter at 8:45 AM, and was told "a special gas line tech was required, and would have to call to schedule". Absolutely unacceptable.

  Business Response

  Date: 01/06/2023

  Dear ****, My apologies for the incorrect information given to you regarding how our gas appointments are scheduled. We thank you for brining this to our attention. This allows us to follow up with our team to make sure they are providing the proper information to our customers.

  One day the floor boards were seeping with water. I called Roto Rooter to find and plug the leak. they came with all sorts of equipment to detect moisture and they found where the water was dripping under the dish washer. They cut back this pipe however later after the drying process there was continued leakage and it took getting another plumbing company to come here and get the leak stopped. Meanwhile theyu told us that they would be co ordinating with the insurance company. Months later, and a week after we informed the condo association that we have gotten the kitchen repaired I got a very nasty surly message from Roto Rooter that they just talked to ( condo association managers name, insurance appraissers name and that they need to be paid.) Through this whole process they told us that they worked with the insurance company directly and that we did not have to worry about payment. The day before Christmas I get a debt collection notice of 3700. for the drying out process. This situation has excarcebated PTSD, and are funds have been drainedbetween managing without a kitchen for so long. We have been very badly treated and misled as to the nature of the expense. We did file a complaint to a Pat S but never heard back from her.

  On 07/13/22 the ********* contacted Roto Rooter for a leak with an unknown source. Our mitigation specialist went out to the property and assessed the damages, and a plumber found the source of the leak(dishwasher). The ********* filed a claim with their insurance company and contracted us to do the mitigation. We performed the mitigation according to all IICRC standards. The customer had signed documents that state they are responsible for payment.  The insurance company sent the customer our payment. The condo association and the insurance company let the customer know that the payment that they received included our payment. I have attached the signed documents.

  My sewer line had an overflow back in late October. My family woke up to waste and wastewater in our basement. We are new to our town and house and Roto-Rooter appeared in our ****** search. They came a few hours later. We learned that we needed our sewer line cleaned out and our trap replaced and that they would also disinfect our basement and remove damaged carpeting and sheetrock. The employee who came, Matt, asked for my home insurance policy. I should have known better but he requested it via email, and I gave it to him. Matt stated that I had an excellent home insurance policy and that Home Insurance would cover the cost of repair and replacement of damaged materials as well as floor replacement and wall restoration. Well, I agreed to the water mitigation, sewer line cleaning, and trap replacement. Trap replacement, with Roto-Rooter (I later learned), was extremely overpriced but I opened up a line of credit to pay for the trap replacement. The sewer line cleanout was about $700. The trap replacement was almost $7500. We also made a payment of $4000 on the line of credit. We had our floors replaced, and walls restored with the remainder of our claim. In late November, I begin receiving emails stating that we have a balance of over $11,000 for water mitigation. The total cost that Roto-Rooter is claiming that we owe them is the exact cost of the entire claim from my home insurance policy. Roto-Rooter is claiming water mitigation and trap replacement for almost $20,000. I called a local plumbing service and learned that Roto-Rooter grossly overcharged us and that anyone will tell you that Roto-Rooter is known for overcharging customers and being unethical. I am greatly disappointed in the "hustle" that Roto-Rooter is doing. It is not ethical as they know that people use their services for emergencies.

  Good afternoon 

  Roto Rooter received an emergency service call on 10/26/22 for what appeared to be a clogged sewer line at the ******* residence. the service call was booked at 4:37am and dispatched to our service technian at 7:21am on the same day. upon arrival our service technian assessed the problem and came to the conclusion that their was a problem with the sewer line on their property and gave them a estimate to snake out the sewer line at the property for our flat rate price of $570+tax. our service technian also noticed that their was a significant amount of water damage and got in touch with our water restoration department. After agreeing on the estimate our technian proceeded to snake the sewer line and recommended a camera follow up inspection to check the condition of the pipe. Upon further inspection with the camera our specialists made the ******** aware that their was a house trap installed on their sewer line and that it would most likely back up again and provided a estimate of $7250 to remove the trap and high pressure jet their sewer line. during this time our water restoration specialists reached out to assist the ******** in filling an insurance claim to recover the damages done to their property by this loss. after speaking to both our excavation and our water restoration team the ******** agreed to move forward with both the water mitigation and the excavation. our water mitigation specialist assisted in filling an insurance claim while our camera specialists assisted in opening up a line of credit with synchrony bank to pay for the excavation work that was scheduled to be done at the property. After completing the water mitigation Roto Rooter summited all of our paperwork to the ******** insurance company for reimbursement of the loss. after speaking to the ******** insurance adjuster they made Roto Rooter aware that the ******** had already received their reimbursement check and to contact them directly to settle our outstanding water mitigation bill. After receiving this information Roto Rooter contacted the ******** to collect payment and was told by the ******** that they used the money received by their insurance company to repair the floors and walls that Roto Rooter removed from the home during the water mitigation service and they used the remaining balance of the insurance reimbursement to pay the balance that was owed to synchrony bank for the excavation and a partial amount of the outstanding water mitigation bill.  Roto Rooter is only seeking payment for the outstanding balance of the water mitigation we provided at the property. Roto Rooter is willing to make Adjustments to water mitigation bill in order to come to a resolution with the ********. After speaking to the ******** they have made it clear they do not wish to pay for any outstanding invoices because they already allocated the insurance money to synchrony and feel like they should not have to pay anything else to Roto Rooter.

  approximately 4 years ago or so I was provided a service of replacing the drain in my front yard. They told me that it will take care of the drain issue that we were having.
  
  The work was completed with a 5 year warranty. Fast forward to about 3 months ago, there was another clog and I called regarding the warranty to roto rooter and they advised me that this is not included with the warranty because it was not part of the drain that was replaced. I was told that I had to pay $700.
  
  I stated that you were supposed to have replaced all of the drain in the front, the rep advised me that they only did a partial replacement, I asked for a work order and they said to call the office.
  
  I have called the office 4 times and they said that they will send out the work order which shows the warranty information as well. I have not yet gotten that sent to me even though they stated it will be sent. It seems as though they are giving the run around as the warranty runs out in feb.

  The work that was originally performed 2/7/18 was to replace the trap and cleanout for the customer. When we were called out 8/25/22, the issue was a break/belly in the customer's line which is not the same problem that was addressed in 2018. I have reached out to the customer to go over the original invoice and did not receive a response, but I have emailed a copy of the invoice to the customer that shows the work that was completed.

  On 11/26/2022 Anthony from roto rooter came to our home to install pipes under our kitchen sink and sold us a product to put in our plumbing pipes to help flush our lines. The product was $110.57. Total charges were $788.55 for parts labor and the product. Anthony said he did not have not have the product on his truck but would bring the product to us on Tuesday. He never showed, we have called 4x to the office and no one has called back. We called last 12-16-22 to schedule another on-site service in hopes of resolving the issue and were told someone would be out 12-26-22 between 8-12pm. Still no one has shown. Worse still the pipe installed leaked because the connector from the disposal did not have a gasket so now our wood floor is warped. I fixed the leak myself for $3.58. I would at least like the product we purchased dropped off or some one to answer my calls as I have left voice mails offering to pickup the product in person.

  Business Response

  Date: 12/29/2022

  Good morning,

   

  The customer was contacted.  Our plumbing technician did, in fact, forget to go back and drop off the product he sold her.  The customer was made aware we are sourcing the product and it will be dropped off to her at the end of the week.  The local branch management did not receive any messages from the customer in regard to this complaint.  When the complaint was filed, it was the first time the local branch was made aware.  

  Thank you.

  On Nov 18, 2022, I hired roto-rooter to replace a small section of cast iron pipe with pvc.
  -I was quoted $515.77.
  -It was supposed to take two hours but it took two days.
  -When it was done, I found that they caused damage to my HVAC ducts in my crawlspace. They were going to leave without telling me they caused damage.
  -I refused to pay because of damage.
  -I was told that if I hire an HVAC repair they would reimburse me the difference. I paid $1015 for the duct repair, so I was told they would reimburse me $500.
  -Days later they said they wouldn’t honor my $100 military discount they quoted me and that they would only reimburse me $400. I told them that was unacceptable.
  -They said they would ask corporate. After several days, I asked for an update and they said a check should be sent soon. After another week of not hearing anything I asked for an update and did not receive a response.
  
  I have spent a ton of time and money, had to postpone the sell of my house, and this has caused my family a ton of distress. If they don’t send me $500 then they are stealing from me. They should send me the full $1015 to make up for all of the distress they have caused.

  My basement flooded this summer 7/28/2022 and called the business because the sewer backed up, they came out and unclogged the sewer, and they stated that they do restoration services. I hired them to do the restoration and that took place 08/27/2022. They arrived after 10am and left 3pm. I called **** and they came out 09/11/2022 and they said that there was mold in the basement. Roto Rooter was suppose to spray during the restoration service so mold would not grow, and they should have removed more insulation that was moist. They should have just pulled it out. Roto Rooter is requesting to be paid the full amount of 11000.00 for a 4hour job. I offered to pay 8500.00 dollars but they would not take that amount. Roto Rooter did not do a proper job and should not be paid the full amount of 11,000.00

  She had additional damage that developed in her outside wall above where we mitigated, she also said that she had a shutoff leaking
  
  I spoke with the Lead and he said that the readings on that wall only read wet at the bottom so he removed that plus additional to be safe.
  
  He said the readings above that were dry.

  They had an appointment to provide service to our home on 12/2/2022 with a time window for service. They quoted a minimum charge of $99. They arrived well outside of the service window, with no advance call. My spouse took the day off of work, meaning a lost day of wages. When they finally arrived - outside of the promised service window - my spouse was unable to stay because he had no idea they coming because he was told he'd get a call when they were on their way. I tried to schedule Roto-Rooter again for 12/20/2022. I scheduled online on 12/19/2022, and selected an 8am-10am window. I got a call shortly thereafter from Roto-Rooter, and they said the window would need to be 8am-noon, and I agreed. At 10:03am, I got a call saying their technician was running later, but that they would be there that afternoon. At 3:46pm, I got a call saying they would not be able to service my home as scheduled that day, but would do it the following day (12/21/2022). I had taken the entire day off of work to accommodate this service; and then took 12/21/2022 off of work as well. They told me I would get a call at 9am with a service window. I had not received a call, so at 10:07am, I called Roto-Rooter. The agent that answered apologized for their delays and said I was scheduled for a 10am-2pm window, and "promised" I'd get a call shortly with a narrower window. At 11:56am, I got a call from Roto-Rooter customer service saying I was scheduled for this afternoon, verifying the number I could be reached at, and indicating a technician would call me 30-45 minutes prior to arrival. Then, at 12:42pm, a manager called, said and said the minimum fee was $800 and that they weren't sure when they could get a tecnician to my home. I asked to speak to a higher level manager, who called me at 12:48pm. He indicated they wouldn't be able to provide service. This, after losing a days wages waiting for them, taking two days of time off of work, and after a $99 minimum fee which we have IN WRITING.

  Following attempts to speak with *** ******* directly via phone I have reached out via email also to extend my apologies for the delay in service and lack of communication.  Internal communication history shows that dispatch were working with the local branch to get the customer assistance. Any failure to communicate these delays with the customer will be addressed accordingly with employees involved.

  Due to inclement weather and poor road conditions in the area, we are still experiencing delays in being able to provide service to customers in these areas; However, I have included my direct email address in the communication with *** ******* if I can be of further assistance.

  On 12/14/2022 Roto-Rooter was dispatched to this property
  due to a main sewer line backup. Once onsite we rodded the main sewer line for
  the property via the outside cleanout access. Contract copy included in this
  response for review evidencing services performed and access point used. Warranty
  on this service is for the main sewer line of the property, not every drainage
  pipe because we did not clean every drainage pipe.

  
  On 12/16/2022 Roto-Rooter was dispatched again to this
  property due to a laundry line back up. Once onsite, due to the previous
  service just performed, Roto-Rooter technician checked the status of the main
  sewer line. He opened the exterior cleanout cap and confirmed the main line was
  not obstructed and had proper sanitary flow. This mean all sewage for the property
  was draining with no issue. The only pipe experiencing a blockage in this visit
  was the laundry line only.  

  
  As Roto-Rooter has never performed service on the laundry
  line, there is no warranty on that pipe. Roto-Rooter serviced the main sewer
  line and the warranty remains on the pipe service was performed, not for all
  branch drainage lines inside the house. Roto-Rooter offered a discounted rate
  to clean the laundry line as a courtesy due to the recent visit, but this offer
  was declined.

  
  It’s worth explaining here that the laundry line is one of
  many branch lines inside a property. The laundry line is the drainage pipe
  specific to the laundry only, located inside the house. Other examples of
  branch lines are kitchen or bathroom sink drainage lines, drainage pipes that
  run only for those precise things before connecting to a stack that then
  connects to the main sewer line. The main sewer line is the pipe that exits the
  property and connects to the city sewer, outside the house. Clearing a blockage
  in the pipe outside the house (main sewer line) would have no relation to a branch
  line pipe inside the home (laundry line). They are 2 separate pipes entirely.

  
  To confirm, this customer was experiencing 2 separate issues,
  in 2 separate pipes, in 2 separate locations of his property. Roto-Rooter performed
  service on the main sewer line, outside the home. The warranty on the main
  sewer line is still in effect. Roto-Rooter has never performed service on the branch
  laundry line and there in no warranty in place for this pipe. For these
  reasons, a refund is not warranted and will not be issued.
