It is easy to give a five star review when everything goes as planned with both parties. A company shows its true colors when something goes wrong or not as planned. My Experience with Rescue Rooter started by clicking a google adwords ad for a $88 drain cleaning. I called the main number and the dispatch person scheduled me. They confirmed the price was $88 to unclog my toilet if i had a cleanout which i did. Everything seems good. They said they would be there within 60mins. WOW. Other companies quoted me $150+ and some even after-hours charges. Other companies would also have taken a few hours to get here. Either way not bad but I gave rescue rooter a try for the price/speed. 15mins later i get a call from someone else at the company confirming the appointment.

Then Eric quotes me $280. This is where many customers would get angry. I'm not emotional like that. I tell eric i was quoted $88 and confirmed with multiple people and $88 is all I am paying. Eric is super professional about it, It's not his fault but rather a problem with dispatch/communication and his boss. Eric calls the boss and here's the solution he offers me. He will snake the toilet for $88 and if that doesn't work i don't have to pay. I wasn't ready to spend more without other quotes but there was no reason not to do that. Eric ended up going the extra mile to snake it a few times and ended up fixing it. I gladly paid him the $88, along with my complements. Eric also explained what he was doing so i felt comfortable the whole time and maybe next time I could do it myself. You got a good guy on your team! Cleanup the ...
