Service

Recently I have had a problem with my kitchen sink. As it turned out later my sink trap was broken. It was very disturbing and annoying because I could not wash any dishes and the pile of dirty dishes was only growing bigger. I called the Doctor Rooter and in the next hour I have already had someone helping me out. I realy liked the service, it was was fast professional and the price was right! Great company, I definitely recommend them!

service

I have had a problem with my lavatory few days earlier. The water would not flush properly and it would stay there almost tipping over the rim. I tried waiting out and using "liquid plumber", but it did not help much. My friend suggested me to call the Doctor Rooter. In a short period of time they have sent someone to help me out with my problem. I liked the service that was provided to me, problem was fixed in no time. Strongly recommend for any plumbing problems.

Thank you Vitalii for the review, we appreciate that. Use of chemicals like 'liquid plumr' helps to clean small clogs in drains pretty good, but it is not always a case. Also all of them are very toxic. Vitalii, thanks for choosing Doctor Rooter!

Waterproofing, Weepers, Sump and B/W Valve

Doctor Rooter was one of 4 bidders on this project. Oleg was fair, courteous and professional in his dealings with us and the client, and completed the project satisfactorily. We will be more than happy to use their services again for our future clients on waterproofing, weepers/sumps and back-water valves projects.

Drain Re-Location

Oleg came to my home the same day we called him. He provided us an excellent quote and was kind enough to come back out to do the work about 3 months later. The work was done by his colleague Konstantin. I was able to see the work first hand as I was also re-locating plumbing and electrical for my washer and dryer in the same area. Konstantin was extremely professional and his quality and expertise showed throughout the entire job. I was more than pleased with the outcome of the drain re-location, and Konstantin was kind enough to explain everything he did. Now I have a better understanding of main line drainage, and the satisfaction of quality workmanship for the work completed.

What could this company do to improve their services?
You-Tube "How to" video with contact information posted at the end.
Any advice to offer fellow homeowners facing a similar project?
Ensure they understand the method and the reason for vents within the main drain. Ask questions and be with them to see and view the functioning drain before the concrete is re-done.

Hi Mr. Lachhman, thank you very much for the review we appreciate that. As long as you understand really well what you are doing, you could explain how home drainage system works for the customer. And that's important to have a clear understanding of it not only for a plumber but for homeowner as well. Thank you for your interest in our job! Best regards.
