      Complaint Type:
      Service or Repair Issues
      Status:
      Answered
      On Dec. 6, 2021, service man, Gabe, replaced a pipe that entered into my septic tank. This pipe was supposed to eliminate the problem of tree roots growing through a pipe and clogging the entrance to the tank. The repair cost me $3,667. On Aug. 26, 2022, my septic tank backed up just as it used to do when the tree roots clogged it. I attempted to call Rooter-Man all day Friday and Sat. morning, and no person or machine answered. Because I was unable to reach anyone at this business, (and my toilets were backing up), I called Roter-Rooter and they came out immediately and rooter rooted my septic tank pipe. This cost me $200.00. But the toilets worked!!!!The Roter-Rooter service man told me that it was not tree roots that blocked my tank, it was a build-up of other debris, mostly hair. He told me that this was likely due to either the new pipe was improperly installed, or it settled into a position that narrowed the entrance which caused it to be easily blocked.On Saturday, Aug. 27, via Roter-Man's web site, I sent an Email requesting a call on Monday morning. I did not hear from them. I called them all Monday morning, Aug. 29th, with no person or machine answering.The service I am requesting from them is to send someone out to check the status of the pipe which was installed eight months ago. And to fix said problem as necessary.Thank you BBB. I appreciate your help.

      Inexperienced, overpriced and the owner is awful to work with. As other have noted, so many issues with this company. They collect payments up front and block your number when you try and complete work. This companies ethics should be reviewed, based on many other reviews I am not the only person to experience the terrible customer service from owner this which shows it is an ongoing issue. Not sure how they are still in business, and I wish more people could be warned. Their work is mediocre at best, charge an incredibly high rate and them proceed to not complete the work.
