  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.

  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.

  The business reached out to me once they were contacted by the BBB and informed me that a check was approved for $500 and there was a delay with getting it to me because of the holidays. It has been over a week since they told me and I still have not received the check.

  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

  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.

  12/15/2022 i had aplumbing backup in my basement roto rooter came out and rodded the front of my yard to the street i had explained to him that the water was coming from the washer they charged me 425.00 dollars i called them back they sent another tech back on the 17th and he said he gonna try to rod it out through the pipes that i told the first guy but he wanted to charge me another 330.00 dollars i have the 6mo gaurantee so i told him i wasnt gonna pay it and he left so im filing this complaint with you all would like my money back

  Business Response

  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.

  On Wed October 26th they came out to fix a clog problem 2 toilets were clogged and if you flushed then it would back up into the showers. They claimed they used a camera to find the clog, they never showed me any images. After they claimed the clog was fixed, they stated they the pipe coming out from the master bath (mind you this bathroom was the only one that had no problem) that lead to the septic tank needed to be leveled and that, that job would be 6K and that unless I fixed that they would not warranty the fix of the clog that day!!!!
  
  If you are not going to guarantee a job due to something else you should inform the customer before the job, they can decide if they don’t do the job & get a second opinion.
  
  I was tricked into doing the job with them, on top of also practically scammed into doing an unnecessary 6K job, they “estimate they sent via email” I can not open the document they sent it is docu sign and it makes you sign and agree to the job before it even opens!!!!
  
  They toilets was never fixed, we called them back and they ignored us. We declined the charges after having a second plumber come and show us on the camera that there was a and old sliver of PVC that he said was probably in the pipes since the house was built and was laying flat but now over the years had moved up right within the pipe and was causing the clog (the 6K job that they wanted me to do was totally unnecessary to fix the clogged toilet problem!). Once that plumber removed that piece of we have had absolutely no issues and everything has been fine, which proves that roto router was trying to scam us into an unnecessary 6K job and was only an excuse after the fact to not warranty a clog they did not know how to fix.
  
  Now the credit card has back charged us and on top of that roto rooter is also sending me bills trying to charge me again, to get paid twice for a job that they never actually did correctly and never fixed.
  
  I want them to refund our money, they are an unethical company and also to stop sending me letters claiming I owe them money.

  The customer us stating his pipe was leaking again. We dispatched a technician on a callback. However, when the technician arrived the leak the customer was stating was where we did the original job, was in a different location. The section of the pipe that was originally replaced by the technician was not leaking, and he explained this to the customer. We offered to fix the section of leaking pipe, but let the customer know this was not under warranty due to being a separate issue.

  It has not been determined that a leak is in a new location or confirmed. Water pooling is a symptom 
  of a leak. It has been confirmed there is water pooling proximal and linear to the original pipe repair. 
  No pipes were exposed to visually confirm exact location of any such pipe leak. Water pooling 
  location does not confirm the location of a pipe leak and is a false conclusion. The original pipe repair 
  location has been covered with drywall. Concealing the pipe repair location. The replaced drywall is 
  at a higher elevation in the ceiling than where the water is pooling. It is reasonable to accept the 
  water is pooling at the lower elevation and wicking through the dry wall tape joint at the lower 
  elevation. Customer requested the service supplier to identify the moist areas with a Moisture 
  Meters / Drywall Mold Moisture Detector as they did during the visit on April 22, 2022.  The moisture 
  meter was extremely effective in pinpointing the exact location of a pipe leak within inches. The 
  accuracy of moisture meter was confirmed by the service technician that the moisture meter is 
  highly accurate tool along with other nondestructive measuring devices such as thermometers. The 
  technician was so confident in the approach to use the nondestructive tools mentioned that the 
  technician reached out to several colleagues to see if they could assist in taking some measurements 
  before cutting holes in the ceiling drywall.  Customer did not want to troubleshoot the source of the 
  leak via trial and error cutting several holes in the ceiling to pinpoint the leak when there is 
  technology readily available to significantly reduce the need to cut holes in the ceiling. Each hole is 
  destructive and would require repair.   The technician left because he could not wait around for 
  someone with the proper tools to come. Approximately 30 minutes later the customer received a call 
  from the service supplier. The service supplier said that they would not come out and repair the 
  drywall damage and kept going on and on about that. The customer stated several times that he did 
  not want them to do that and only wanted them to use the nondestructive test equipment they used 
  last time to help pinpoint the leak location as this was extremely successful to find the leak in April. 
  The service supplier refused and said he was too busy to send someone out to meet the customers 
  reasonable request and did not offer another time when they were less busy to perform the 
  nondestructive testing.   The service supplier said they would discuss the issue with their colleagues 
  and call the customer back. The service supplier that said they would call back did not. However, the 
  technician did he stated they had “changed their opinion of the situation” and would not comply 
  with the request to perform an inspection of the area with the nondestructive tools to minimize the 
  number holes cut in the ceiling. The customer was not getting cooperation from the service supplier 
  then proceeded to contact BBB.

  As stated before, the area of the leak was different than the area of the original leak that was repaired. The customer was informed that we could open everything up again, and while unlikely that the issue was the same, if it was we would fix it at no charge. However, if the leak was located at a different area the customer was going to be responsible for the cost of the repair. He declined. The moisture meter in question does not determine the are of the leak, only that the drywall itself is wet.

  07/11/2022 Contracted with Roto-Rooter to remove and replace 36 inches of corroded and leaking water line/pipe with new copper pipe to stop leaking under house in crawl space under bathroom and adjacent kitchen area. Paid Roto-Rooter $771.14 ($76.14 parts / $695.00 labor). Roto-Rooter Residential Labor plumbing replacement warranted according to contract for 1 year. On 12/14/2022 at approximately 10:00 am, heard water running and investigated discovering water spaying from the Roto-Rooter repair. Shut water off from main cut-off out in the front yard, then called Roto-Rooter and was given a service time slot of 12/14/2022 between 12 - 4 pm. Called Roto-Rooter approximately 5 times since about 3:00 pm. The time is now 12/14/2022 5:48 pm and no service technician has shown up yet.
  As far as I'm concerned since reading reviews online of this company this seems to be an ongoing practice of not honoring their business practices, one alternative is to file a complaint with the Better Business Bureau and see if you all could be of any assistance to me. After that I will see what legal options, I may have through the courts system because companies like this have to be stopped or at least regulated from taking advantage of people and their hard-earned money. As of this writing the company has not, of course had time to reach out or resolve the issue because by the time they do I will probably will already have fixed their shotty workmanship and started legal proceeding.
  Here is the Servicing Technician Emmanual B**** #****, Roto-Rooter Invoice #***********, Authorization# *******. To settle this to my satisfaction, if I repair or have it repaired by someone else the only resolution would be for Roto-Rooter to Refund part of what I paid for the repair in the beginning. If Roto-Rooter honors their warranty and repairs the repair at their expense, then all is satisfied.

  I ask that you disregard the submitted complaint as the business sent a technician out to, although later than the projected service time slot of 12/14/2022 between 12 - 4 pm, and repair was done so far satisfactory.

  Pipes replaced in my basement which resulted in the wood panel being taken down. Roto Rooter is noncompliant in repairing the panel that they took down to do the plumbing. I would like my basement restored in the original condition prior to this job.
