Roto Rooter Tried to ROTO ROOT my wallet Internet

These guys work on comission for every job...the company forces them to buy thier own trucks and pay for gas so they are Hard up to over charge you.. They stand to lose money working for these guys if they dont rip you off!!!!!

Roto rooter does not always hire plumbers. I worked for them in the 1980's and was making 40 dollars an hour to snake drains.

Why do people think they should be able to get something for nothing? How do they think that a company can charge next to nothing and stay in business? If a large plumbing company charges $89 for drain lines, then plumbers would be making less than minimum wages. Those companies that charge the cheap prices are performing "loss/lead" jobs they loose money on the drain cleaning in hopes of selling you larger repairs.

If you call a plumber to your house for anything, expect to pay $200 or more. That is the cost of doing business.

Good comment coast.I think the tiger wants something for nothing.I really don't think $129.00 is bad for a Saturday night.And as far as the insurance issue,anybody can advertise that they are insured.Just carry vehicle coverage.This will NOT cover your home for damages.I would say that tiger needs to stay with the $16.00 gadget or what ever it was.

You gave Roto Rooter a boost by telling us that they are available to do the work for only $129.

I would be willing to bet that your line has stopped back up by now and still had to call some other company.Why don't you pour some acid in the drain.You can do that for about $5.00.

Yes roto rooter may be insured, but the other plumbing companies I used before were insured also, and didn't charge an arm and leg plus my little $16.00 gadget was a manual gadget ran by hand, so I don't think I could have ripped any pipes apart with one arm on a crank, so you go ahead and spend your money anyway you like lady.

   If this company had done the job for free,you would still be bitching.If you had broke something with your $16.00 gadget,were you insured?I bet Roto Rooter was.The man gave you a FREE est. and you did exactly what you should have.You wasted the mans time,when he could have been helping someone that wanted his help.Get over it.This company will do approx. 2,000,000 jobs every year.They must be doing something right.
