Great work.
Extremely satisfied with everything and would absolutely recommend Mr. Rooter to anyone.

We 'handy man' had done some work in our house which ended up being more of a screw up. We got in contact with Mr. Rooter and everything was fixed and for every reasonable pricing. If you are someone who thinks you can do plumbing I guarantee you will be much happier going with Mr.Rooter

Water main replacement

We recently had to have our 100 year old water main replaced. Mr. Rooter Ottawa managed the project and did the plumbing, and they hired George Brown Excavating to excavate the trench from the city standpost to the house foundation. Initially we were quite concerned about the potential for damage to the roots of a large tree in our front yard, and to the landscaping which consists of a retaining wall built with large stones (too large to move by hand). We needn't have worried. Plumbers Ryan and Graham were efficient, clean and courteous and left our basement floor looking almost like new. Backhoe operator Dave was very skilled at his job and he and his assistant Alex did minimal disruption to our landscaping and even replaced the stones afterwards, even though this was not covered in the contract. They also left the street in front of the house cleaner than when they arrived. Mr. Rooter General Manager Peter McGrath managed the project and did a great job of keeping us informed of the workplan every step of the way. We would highly recommend both Mr Rooter Ottawa and George Brown Excavating.

Toilet replacement

Guy overcame a frustrating problem to successfully install a new toilet.

I have used the services of Mr. Rooter before and they continue to impress with their attention to detail and competitive pricing.

Main drain in basement backed up

Last Saturday, my basement drain had backed up after doing a load of laundry. Called Mr. Rooter. Guy Gratton arrived and ran a camera down the main drain. A massive blockage of tree roots in my drain. Guy was amazing. He tried all the typical fixes to the problem, but the massive root ball gave him an unbelievable fight. He worked like a dog for 5 hours using some serious strategy to dislodge this thing. Despite the late hour, he was determined to ensure that my drain was completely clear before he left at 11pm. He is a role model for his company. I will definitely call Mr. Rooter for any of my future plumbing needs, based on this single experience. Thank you Guy!

Repair leaky kitchen sink drain

Marc and Steve came at the scheduled time. Our sink is a two sink type and was installed about 27 years ago. They changed all the metal for PVC, and replaced the 2 baskets. The plumbing looks a lot neater than before. They explained everthing, answered all our questions. They were very professional and they did a great job. They laid a tarp down to protect our floor and the wore boot covers. The price was fair for the work done. I highly recommend this company.

Toilet problem / replacement

I had "gremlins" in the ensuite toilet: it would flush by itself at any moment of the day. Mr. David M. showed up at the announced time, checked the toilet and offered to repair or replace it. I decided to replace the unit, since it was old. Mr M. went to get the appropriate toilet, removed the old one. He had a very pleasant behaviour, offered good advice, did a very clean job and took all the garbage with him.

Wedding Ring Retrieval

I accidentally flushed my friend's wedding ring and band down a toilet at work and had some slim hopes. After seeing that our pipes went about 20 feet before hitting the building's main sewage pipe I thought there was a chance.

Mr. Dave M. came in and took a camera snake into the pipes and took a look around for me. He found the wedding band
! It wasn't everything but it does help me out enough that I have some good news for my friend.

Thanks for all the help Dave!

basement drain clog

My laundry drain line was blocked. They cleared my stoppage drain line in the basement. Successfully cleared it and it worked fine for awhile. 4 months later the problem reappeared. Called to see if they would give me a discount on re-fixing the same problem. They said no.

As per the company's response that the technician would come inspect for free - I was considering it until they suggested it was probably my fault for not also signing up for the expensive enzyme treatment that had been offered as an additional service, and gave no indication there would be any discount on this followup service call.

Hello Jim,

In reviewing the recorded conversation, it seems that there might have been some confusion. Our dispatcher was trying to explain that she would not have any control over the pricing, and that we would be able to send the technician back to your home at no charge to investigate. The technician would be more suited to determine whether or not the repair would be covered under warranty, or performed at a discounted rate.

Although the standard 60 day warranty for your service has expired, there are circumstances which would extend the warranty period. Unfortunately, our office staff would not be able to determine that over the phone. As always, we would be glad to send a technician at no charge to investigate your drainage issue.

Feel free to give us a call back or send us an e-mail if you'd like to set up an appointment.

Thank you & have a great day

Install new shut off vales for hot and cold flow to washer

Stuck on the long weekend with cut pipes and new washer arriving, water shut off and to the rescue comes Mr. Rooter. Within three hours of phone call, technician arrived, assessed problem and got to work. Within an hour, valves put on pipes, water turned back on and washer connected. Absolutely no hesitation to recommend Mr. Rooter and will definitely use them again for my residence and rental property. Many thanks to my technician Matt Archambault for his quick efficient service and recommendations. Thanks again, GREAT experience. !!!!
