It was a late Saturday night. We had a super stubborn clog in some old galvanized pipes. Mr. Rooter send out Phil. Phil was great! He found the problem pretty quick. With determination and professionalism he final got it cleared out. I would recommend Mr. Rooter and Phil to anyone! He even cleaned up. We are so happy we choose Mr. Rooter!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!!
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!
The first step towards preventing drain clogs is rinsing your drains with hot water at least once every two weeks. Hot water keeps the pipe walls clear of debris, food waste, soap scum, and other items that may cause clogging. For stubbo clogs, try a combination of baking soda and vinegar. Pour a cup of baking soda down the drain and follow it up with ½ a cup of vinegar solution. Cover the drain with a plug and wait for 15 minutes. Flush the drain with hot water to clear the solution.
Installing drain strainers in your kitchen sink drains, shower drains, floor drains, and trench drains is an easy and inexpensive way to prevent clogs. A finely spaced mesh drainer catches solids that may otherwise flow down the drain. It’s important to clean the strainers regularly to keep them in good working condition and eliminate odors. Reach out to a licensed plumbing repair service for help with installing drain strainers.
Improper disposal of grease is one of the leading causes of clogged drain lines in homes. Some people believe that pouring liquid grease down a drain cannot cause a blockage, but in reality, it eventually cools down and tus into a solid mass. Rather than discarding cooking fat, oils, and grease down the kitchen sink, pour it into a heat-resistant container, let it solidify, and throw it in the trash bin.
You’ve probably seen chemical drain cleaners being touted around as an alteative to hiring a plumbing service and a quick fix to clogged drains. The truth is, they aren’t the best option when you consider the harm they can cause to your pipes and the environment. If you have a clogged drain, try to use a plunger or drain snake to clear the clog. However, stubbo clogs caused by mineral deposits and tree root intrusion require professional intervention from an experienced plumbing repair service. Call the pros at Mr. Rooter Plumbing if you need help with cleaning your drains.
Most of the stubbo clogs that homeowners deal with are preventable. Unfortunately, we tend to neglect our drains as long as the water is going down the drains until we are stuck with standing water or offensive odors. It’s important to schedule regular drain line inspections to identify potential problems before they escalate into expensive problems. Here at Mr. Rooter Plumbing, we recommend you schedule a professional drain inspection at least once a year. It’s advisable to be proactive rather than reactive when it comes to drainage.
Improper use of a garbage disposal is one of the major culprits behind drain issues. Our plumbers recommend you avoid hard-to-grind foods, run cold water while using the appliance, and avoid overloading the disposal.
