Best Drain Clogs in Cincinnati OH

Jerry is an exceptional technician. He was professional in his approach to troubleshooting our problems and providing solutions that totally satisfied our needs.

Our kitchen pipes burst during the cold freeze and they Halpin fit us in immediately even though they had quite a waitlist of emergency repairs. They are always professional, on time, clean, and explain in detail any work they do before they begin. Can’t recommend them enough!

I had a customer with an emergency pipe burst late Saturday afternoon called Charles the owner, left him a voice mail. He responded back and called within minutes to get the details. This is a caring professional that also takes care of any plumbing needs. Highly recommended!

The girl dealing with me on a Sunday, while I’m bailing water and frustrated was awesome. Consummate professional dealing with an excited customer. Nick, the plumber, was great; polite, professional, skilled, neat and answered my barrage of questions. Will absolutely recommend Spartan and use them again. When I had an emergency on the Sunday of a three-day weekend, they took care of me. No sales pitch, just answers. Quick, responsive and a pleasure to work with.

Called them on a Sunday for a sewage backup issue in my basement, and two techs came out. They got there in a timely manner and were nice enough, but they didn’t do a great job of explaining what was wrong with my pipe and what was needed to fix it, so I was pretty confused much of the time. The real problem though was that I ended up paying $500 for nothing but to have them snake my line, and then I felt kind of railroaded into signing a contract for the repair, at a whopping $16,000. They neglected to tell me that they had also had me sign a waiver forfeiting my right to cancel said contract, thus eliminating my ability to shop around or get other estimates. After getting other estimates I learned that the price was on the high end but comparable, however I felt really uncomfortable with being pressured into a high stakes sale with no thorough explanation of what I was signing. I managed to finagle my way out of the contract but I just don’t trust them to be honest and transparent with me and won’t be hiring them again.

Scott did a fantastic job. Very thorough and up front about pricing. Professional and courteous the entire time. Kacey was great too. I spoke with her when I called Roto-Rooter. She was very helpful and got help to me in a very timely manner-within an hour! Roto-Rooter has great coupons too that they honor. Thank you!

Replaced 53ft of water line from the house to the meter. Awesome job. I would highly recommend.

First Visit:
Recently, I enlisted Roto-Rooter's services to clear clogged pipes in my kitchen and laundry room, but the outcome was unsatisfactory. Adding to my disappointment, the plumber initially claimed they couldn't access the roof to clear the four pipes, despite another company doing so successfully six years ago. He even said that would have been faster and had a better result. However, the plumber later contradicted himself, mentioning they could access the roof with a harness, but a shortage within their company prevented its use. This raised concerns about safety protocols and organizational efficiency. I reached out to the manager, who confirmed their plumbers weren't permitted on roofs but admitted they could access commercial roofs. The next day after water started seeping through the floor after running the dishwasher. I called our appliance repair man and he showed us the water was not coming from the dishwasher or from under the sink. The dishwasher wasn't the cause, and as the issue emerged after Roto-Rooter's work, I contacted Roto Rooter and they sent a repairman who denied responsibility and claimed we had bad pipes, despite PVC replacements of all our pipes a few years ago. When I requested a camera inspection, he wanted to charge me. Later, the manager, Ross Musa, called and repeated the same, but in a rude and arrogant manner. The high price of $480 to snake a pipe where the avreage charge in Fort Lauderdale, Fl is $75-$125 for minimal work, along with conflicting information from the plumber and manager regarding roof accessibility and safety gear, left a negative impression. The damages they caused, including the pipe they broke with the snake and subsequent water leakage, only added to my frustration. As a business consultant for 52 years, I strongly advise thorough research and exploring alternative options before considering Roto-Rooter for plumbing needs. I would like them to fix the pipe they broke or prove i have bad pipes and refund my $480.000.

They the same tech to take a look at my problem.The technician who arrived at my house turned out to be the very same person who had caused the initial problem. It was a frustrating and unexpected coincidence. When he showed up, he casually asked if I had called Roto Rooter, to which I replied, questioning who had sent him. Seemingly uninterested, he began to head back to his truck.
Once he finally came in to inspect the issue, he confidently stated that my kitchen floor was not leaking. However, he insisted that he turn the water on to properly assess the situation. He poured 15 gallons of water down the sink he said. Still, he maintained that there was no sign of a leak, assuring me the problem was resolved.And than the water coming up through the floor .
I asked him if it was possible for a plumber's snake to crack a PVC pipe. He admitted that it was indeed possible. He insisted that the only way to determine the exact location of the leak was by running a camera through the pipe. I agreed, thinking it would finally put an end to the uncertainty surrounding the situation.
However, much to my surprise, he then informed me that running the camera would come with an additional charge. I couldn't believe it –
Sadly, this was not an isolated incident with Roto Rooter. Numerous complaints had been filed against them for breaking pipes with their plumber's snakes.
Dealing with this situation had left me feeling disappointed and disillusioned with the service industry and Roto Rooter.

We now have water leaking under the floor it will not dry up even after using a shop vac.

I would like my money back $480.00
