I always have root covered my main pipes, so I always had my plumber /neighbor who always gave me a neighbor rate of $100.00 for 20 minute job to unclog my main pipe. This time there were not available, so I search on my computer for a plumber and called 3 plumbing companies, they all wanted a minimum of $120.00 one of them said it's over time cuz, they close at 4.00PM it was 3.45PM when I called so it would be $180.00 and they'll come around 8.PM. I search again and found URGENT ROOTER $40.00 to unclog a main pipe. I agreed to it right away, they texted me Gary's picture and confirmation of my

I can not believe the other ratings they have here on Yelp!
My experience was a about 8 or so years ago, I called for a rooter snake procedure. Their service reps, (plumbers) used a snake camera to locate a blockage. They said they didn't want to hydrojet without digging to the sewer line to inspect for damage. I had previously installed ABS pipe from the house to the sidewalk with router access easily available. This was the first I ever heard of hydro jetting.
They then pulled an old car dealership tactic called a "4 square", meaning essentially, they write down several high

Called for their $55.00 drain cleaning deal on a main sewer from the house to the street, with a cleanout (drain access) right in front of the house. I even had power ready for them. Could not be simpler or easier. Arrival was prompt, but when the tech tried to snake the drain, he reported he was unable to break through the clog with his equipment. I asked if he could put a camera down there to see what the problem was, and he had to call his supervisor to bring the camera ($150.00). Seems to me that a professional would carry a camera in this day and age. Over an hour later, the supervisor

Thank you Urgent Rooter for getting the job done. I had a slow drain in my kitchen sink that started to back up. Scheduled an appointment with a different plumber for the next day, but the issue seemed to be worse. Browsed the internet found a $55.00 drain cleaning coupon and called the (800) number. Simon answered the phone he was very courteous and helpful. He called a technician and verified he could have a truck at my location in hour.
Andres the technician called me and let me know he was on his way and he arrived sooner than quoted. He was very pleasant when he arrive and got right

Called them at 4:30 pm with sewage back-up, they said they could be there in an hour. They showed up at 8:00 pm and because it was an "after hours" service their promotional $69 fee went to $225. I was irritated by the bate and hook tactic so I did not perform the service. I did decide to call their main line asking for the same service and they then quoted a price of $135. After I exposed them to the situation that happened 30 min earlier, the service rep on the phone stated that the final price is established by the field supervisor. The service was simple, run the snake through

Dishonest, upsellers. Beware of potential scam. Decent one time, shady the next. Read this and other yelp reviews.
I contacted Urgent Rooter about 5 or 6 months ago with a clogged 2" drain that rain under my house. The guy who came tried to upsell me to a more-expensive service (water jetting), which I understood, but ultimately I just had him clear drain with the snake. I was happy with that, and the $69 price, but my drain clogged again during the last week of December, 2015. I didn't blame the for the clog, and I called them back, thinking it would be their inexpensive service

We had a clog in the drain line running from our sink. After our small auger could not quite reach we called Urgent Rooter. From reading the website and talking to the agent on the phone and from knowing exactly what and pretty much where the problem was in our drain system, we hoped they would be honest. But sure enough, the 69 dollar price immediately jumped to 119 because of the access area he said he HAD to work from. Now mind you, the most sensible access and the one that was only about an 8 foot reach to the clog, was what was going to cost 119.00. However, we also have a cleanout right

We called them on wednesday because our garbage disposal was clogged up. They came the next day and quoted $700 to unplug it, but what we really needed, according to them, is new pipes, which would cost $1200. Not knowing any better, we agreed to just the unclogging the pipes for $700. The next day when it was supposed to be fixed, we got a call that the machine they need to use is stuck at another house and that they will come friday. Because of this inconvenience they would give us $100 off. The following day it was the same story. They said they will call on Saturday morning and see if the

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!
everything in the other negative reviews is correct. they came to simply unclog a sink, (we called them by accident by clicking their google AD banner!) and proceeded to flood our ceiling and leak sewage all over the basement. Then they tried to upsell us with other services...to fix the problem they caused! Now they are lying about what happened and refusing to pay for the damage. STAY AWAY FROM THEM!

First off let me say THANK YOU to Urgent Rooter!!!
So... I woke up to the most disgusting and smelly sewer water that backed up in my bath tub.
Yes, you guessed it right I had a very important event to attend and I needed to shower.
Dispite the bad yelp reviews, I decided to take the referral from a friend. The ladies at the call center was very understanding of my panic and worries. Johnny the technician arrived at my home within the hour and were very fast paced due to my hurry. He discovered a bigger issue then I thought it would be. With the camera they showed the tree roots had grown into

Great guys and very hard working. Arrived within an hour. Being realistic about the condition of my 65 year old pipes, Gary backed up his estimate with video proof of the condition of my plumbing. Unfortunately, earthquake damage and tree roots had taken a toll on my main line, which an independent plumber was more than happy to put a $2500 'band-aid' on only 2 months prior! John, Gary & Nacio replaced my entire main line, without digging my whole front yard, and I was only without plumbing for a few hours... With a lifetime guarantee! I won't need their services again for

I completely disagree with all the bad reviews! We had sewage backing up in our shower and in a toilet on the other side of the house. Called our usual plumber and he snaked and snaked and snaked and could not clear the blockage. He said he thought we had some big trouble in the sewer line and recommended that we call one of the roto-rooter companies. My husband basically called the first number he saw listed on the internet and that was Urgent Rooter. Boris came out and after hours of trying to reach the blockage through the inside of the house, concluded that he would need to dig into the

I agree with the other comments, I too wish I had checked Yelp first. This company comes on with a low price ($69) and then they come out and say they can't clear the line and want you to buy into some really expensive services, the old bait and switch routine. I ended up paying the $69 without getting the line cleared. I had to call another company and they got the job done with no problems. These guys are crooks.

OMG! cant believe I didnt read Yelp first...!
The guy walked in the door and immeadiatly said "dude, you've got a big problem and we need to take the whole toilet off" he didn't even try and snake it and when pressed to do so, suddenly there was a price changed. When we called the office, they backed down. He ran the snake and it stopped, touting a blockage but "reccommeded" that we now needed to hydrojet the pipe to the tune of about $1500.
Further more, he didn't even have a screwdiver and couldn't figure out how to take the sewer lid off.

This is my first real experience of Fraud! These people are crooks and are now trying to make me pay for services I didn't even need in the first place. Absolutely stay away from this company... they will bring you to financial ruin!!! The reason we used them is we had an emergency on a late Sunday afternoon and they were the only people that answered. They were 3 hours late coming out. Once they arrived they told us the problem was one of the toilets and it would cost 275 to remove the toilet. Then he tells me we don't have a "clean-out" and they will need to install one, which

My sewer line was blocked with tree roots and all 80-feet of pipe from the house to the street had to be replaced. I got estimates from a few companies and while Urgent Rooter wasn't the cheapest they were the only ones who mentioned anything about getting permits through the city. After talking with Harry he agreed to honor the lowest estimate I had received. I was a little hesitant because of the reviews online, but I went with my gut feeling and I felt like I could trust this company.
Harry assured me there wouldn't be an additional cost. They started ASAP and moved fast and respectful

As the previous reviewer noted (and I wish I had used Yelp before this all happened to me) do not use these people. You will be out thousands of dollars, pressured into things you don't need or want. But given that your sewer system is backed up, you'll think you've no choice and buckle. I did. What a mistake.
What I should have done was rent a hotel room (I had to do this anyway), clear my head and READ YELP, and get a decent plumber and saved myself thousands of dollars. The "supervisor" will flash pamphlets at you, tell you everything is going to back up unless they
