        • Leaks around the base
        • Temperature or pressure relief valve ejects water
        • Strange noises come from the water heater heater
        • Discolored hot water
        • Water heater runs more often

        This was an excellent company to work with. Everything was done quickly and efficiently, any questions I had were answered right away,I was not put off on anybody else. Harry ... and his crew were very friendly, informative and did a good job. They arrived on time and cleaned up any mess. I also contacted three other competitors. One said I would have an estimate emailed within two hours, I called four hours later, talked to an owner who said I would have it by the end of the day, confirmed email never received an estimate. Another one would not answer my simple question of Do you finance? I was simply sent to different people and never given an answer. The third company came out for an estimate, the guy went to the wrong house and said he was at my house, even when it was clear from describing the picture of my house that he was not at my house the manager in a round about way called me a liar. Needless to say that company did not do an estimate on my property and I would Never use them. Folks these are not fly by night companies and most people would recognize their names but they were not very professional in their dealings. Was Roto - Rooter the cheapest? no but their professionalism far out weighed all the others I contacted. I would definitely use them in the future they are well worth the money. Thank you for sending my headaches down the drain. Cindy Cooper
