plumbing servivce

I needed a plumber to inspect my water meter, after a bit of a flood in the basement and stop a toilet from constantly running. I didn't have any referrals or recommendations so I looked up 3 somewhat major plumbing companies online who quoted me a fee between $80 - $120 to come to the house and hourly labour fee between $35 - $50. I then saw an online review that encouraged people to try the smaller plumbing companies and that's when I came across some very positive Home Stars online reviews for Rickey Rooter. When I called Rickey for a quote, he said "why don't I just come out to the house and once I know what the problem is, I'll tell you about it and how much it will cost to repair" - no initial fee required! I was immediately impressed and hoped it wasn't a 'too good to be true' story. Rickey quickly made himself available and assessed the problem in no time. He explained everything to me in layman's terms so I could understand and his cost was very reasonable. Further, I mentioned a concern I had about a toilet that was constantly running and it rocked from side to side!! I asked if it would be best to buy a new toilet, and he told me he could repair it to work perfectly without the extra cost. Just as I thought we would schedule a day for the work to get done, he went out to his truck, brought in some tools, a few parts and before I knew it, everything was fixed and working better than ever - 100% Furthermore, he left me with good advice and helpful tips at no extra cost! Rickey is extremely pleasant, honest, trustworthy, punctual, dependable, and does quality work at an affordable price. I am very happy to say I have found my plumber of choice!!

new vanity

Rick has done a few jobs for us recently. A small leak in our third floor bathroom lead to a full new vanity. He is professional, hardworking and his price is very fair. I would not hesitate to hire him again.

A running toilet and problem with kitchen sink

Within the first month of moving to a new home, we discovered that the toilet downstairs was running and that whoever installed the kitchen sink had switched the piping somehow and hot was coming out of the cold faucet and visa versa. I found Rick on the internet. called and amazingly was able to speak to him directly. Rick fixed both our problems within no time. I was impressed with his curteous and professional manner. I was even more impressed when he provided me with the bill of service which was well within my limited budget. I am not in the habit of writing these types of reviews but exemplary service should not go unnoticed.

2 toilets replaced

I was very impressed with this company, they showed up exactly when they said they would, they were very polite, professional and clean they even put a tarp down to set the old toilets on when they took them off. Over all was very happy with the job they did and the cost.

Pipe rotted in basement

I had a leak in the big pipe that goes from the floor in my basement up to the toilet on the first floor. After calling a couple companies I found out it was a cast iron pipe that had rotted right thru and it was going to cost me around $1000. Thats when my wife suggested trying a smaller company to see if we could get it done a little cheaper. After searching locally I found Rickey Rooter, Rick came out looked at the pipe and quoted me $575. He went and got the new pipe and had the job done in less than 3 hrs. Rick was very professional, the new piping looks good and I saved a few hundred bucks !
It pays to shop around, and Rick proved to me that there are still some honest contractors out there.

Thanks Rick, I will definitely be recommending you and call you should I need of any plumbing work in the future.
