Rose Bernard

Red Bank, NJ

We had a plumbing emergency and found Mr. Rooter while frantically searching for a 24-hour plumber. We feel like we hit a gold mine. Not only did we get a timely response. Everyone at Mr. Rooter was friendly, professional, competent and went above and beyond. Our plumber, Phil, was extremely helpful and gave us tips we could use moving firwars. Not to mention, the cost was extremely reasonable.

Joseph Chis

Hillsborough, NJ

Had sewer water backup in toilet and tub. Received callback as promised and arrived early. The tech determined we needed the main line to be cleared. He quickly located the opening and had us cleared in minutes. Very happy with the service. I was not prepared for the fee but it was an emergency.

Christopher Cox

Little Silver Township

Plumber, Phil, came out on short notice on a Saturday night and fixed our issue quickly, professionally and courteously. I contacted a different, well known plumbing company right before Mr. Rooter. The receptionist was rude and they didn’t call me back to say they couldn’t make it until after Phil left! The Mr. Rooter receptionist was very nice and they called me back quickly. I’m glad they did.

Debbie Dimitrion

I just wanted to say James did a great job at my house. Excellent service, professional and very nice. Thank you so much for helping me with my plumbing problem. Did wonderful job.

Rachel Turunen

Jackson Township

I was very happy that I went with Mr. Rooter’s. The service was very quick and up front. Jessie James was very helpful answering my questions and replacing my hot water heater. He was pleasurable to do business with. If another problem arises in my home, I will be using this company again.

William Holden

Brick Township, NJ

A thorough, professional, pleasant experience. I had a back-up in the 50 year-old pipes of my new home. I called Mr. Rooter to have them locate the blockage, snake the line, and then use their video snake to get a visual of the integrity of the pipes. I’m glad that I called and will use them again for future needs.

LarJ MarJ

Oakhurst, NJ

You get what you pay for. Edwin Robles of Central NJ educated me as a 1st time homebuyer on why and what he was repairing, prevention, PROMPT,(on a sunday at that!) clean, knowledgeable, super professional but DOWN TO EARTH and at a REASONABLE PRICE! Sewer pipes unclogged and main water line fixed. I was no longer crying once job was thoroughly executed. After all $#@* $tinks but somebody has to do it and I HIGHLY recommend him and this company for a job well done. THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!

Margie Rafferty-Criscione

Ocean Township

Absolutely lovely office staff! I always knew when the repair person was coming. Lorenzo our repair guy was awesome, I really don't think there is anything he can't do. He looks young, but don't let that fool you! So happy all the repairs are behind us. We really just did a one-stop shopping and decided to have everything we've put off fixed because it was such a tremendous experience!

Easy Ways to Save Water

Groom Consciously

We are so comfortable with a seemingly never-ending supply of water that we sometimes leave faucets running when they can be tued off. Do you leave the water running when you shave or brush your teeth? This can waste hundreds of gallons of water through the year! Tu the faucet off until you are ready to rinse and consider using a small bowl of water for rinsing your shaving blade.

Use the Kitchen Sink

The previous section can also apply for the kitchen. While it is okay to rinse dishes with running water, you should switch up the technique for larger piles of dishes. Fill up the sink with soap and water and let dishes soak in the mixture. Pull them out, wipe with a sponge, and send them in the dishwasher.

Speaking of the Dishwasher…

Even the most efficient dishwashers use a few gallons of water per cycle. Why waste gallons of water just to wash a few plates and silverware? Make sure your dishwasher loads are completely full before running them. This also applies to the laundry machine.

Replace Old Plumbing Fixtures

There have been so many technological improvements in the past couple of decades, and plumbing fixtures and appliances have not been left out of the progress. Low flow showerheads and faucets as well as water-efficient toilets can save you thousands of gallons of water through the year. Consider upgrading old plumbing fixtures and toilets to take advantage of the water savings AND add a little something new to your home.

Fix Those Leaks

According to the Environmental Protection Agency, the average U.S. household leaks can account for over 10,000 gallons of water wasted per year! That number is TRIPLE for ten percent of households. Luckily, this also means fixing easily corrected leaks can save you ten percent or more on your water bills. Mr. Rooter Plumbing of New Jersey is proud to be a provider of quality plumbing repair service. Feel free to call any time to schedule an appointment or request an emergency dispatch.
