Customer Reviews
I had never used Roto Rooter before and I learned so much from your tech. All of your people are certified plumbers. You don't just unclog a drain, you can put in a garbage disposal and fix any plumbing need. I will call you for all of my plumbing from here on out. I also had a friend that was here while he was working on my drains and she intends to use you as well. Thank you for wearing shoes slippers in my house, for being so pleasant and for doing a great job. I will always recommend you. Damien R
Excellent response time, excellent service! The young man located problem and then went one step further. He had originally diagnosed that garbage disposal would have to be replaced, but was able to reset it, Very satisfied and thank you very much! Branden M
Excellent same day service! I called about 9:30 a.m. I needed plumbing re connection for my new kitchen sink & garbage disposal. The tech was here at 11:40 a.m. He worked efficiently & job well done.

Frequently Asked Questions
How to clean my garbage disposal?
Cleaning your garbage disposal doesn't have to be difficult. There are many simple methods for cleaning a garbage disposal. For instance, you can fill it with ice cubes, pour in a cup of baking soda and a cup of vinegar then turn on the disposal until all the ice cubes have been chewed up. Then run the water for a minute to rinse everything down the drain. Instead of the baking soda and vinegar concoctions, you could try a cup of lemon juice or a half cup of grease cutting dishwashing liquid.
What is that smell coming from my garbage disposal?
Food scraps and kitchen grease can cause some nasty odors inside your disposal. A quick cleaning will eliminate most disposal odors. Try pouring a bowl full of ice cubes and a cup of lemon juice down the disposal and running it until the ice cubes are chewed up. Then rinse with water.
Do plumbers install garbage disposals?
Yes, plumbers regularly install and replace garbage disposals. Roto-Rooter Plumbing & Water Cleanup provides this service. If you'd prefer to purchase your own garbage disposal, just have it ready for our plumber to install when he arrives. Otherwise, he may have some in his van or he will purchase one for you at a plumbing supply house or a nearby home center.
How long do garbage disposals typically last?
Garbage disposals are like any other appliance. Sometimes they'll last a very long time and sometimes they fail after just a few years. In general terms, the average garbage disposal lasts ten years before a replacement in necessary.
